A column in which I ask um, should we all be learning how to perform abortions ? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

They're explicitly removing trans people's rights and you just know transphobic loser time wasters are still going to be saying "wOt RiTeS dOnT u HaVe" every time you talk about it

Poland experts release clinical guidance on trans youth healthcare. They define the Cass Review as of "low scientific value and credibility". journals.viamedica.pl/endokrynolog...

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has updated is statement about the ongoing trans genocide in the US and apologised for the previous one.

1. Major exclusive breaking news: Marco Rubio may have just banned trans foreigners seeking visas with correct gender markers from US Entry. A new cable, effective immediately, says visas must contain assigned sex at birth and should be rejected if they don't. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I hope folk will find this useful. translucent.org.uk/transgender-...

WOW!!!!! Imagine living in a country where trans people are not prohibited from writing articles in mainstream media!

1/🧵 Update from Fife: The doctor gives evidence. Cross-examination. Nothing factual was asked this morning. It began with a few questions surrounding why “single-sex spaces” exist. This was followed by a few questions about whether the witness knows the law etc.

1/🧵 The Cass Review final report was quietly amended in December 2024, just before the permanent ban was announced, and it seems to have gone unnoticed. While most of the changes were minor and clerical, two of them were significant. Both changes relate to informed consent.

I have received the minutes for the Gender Education and Training Programme Group (ETPG) for September-November. - The chair of the group has changed, the name of the current chair is redacted so it is unclear who this is. The terms of reference has also been updated.

Last week I updated my mega-post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?" with new links to analysis and evidence. I have no illusions about the current political landscape. It will likely take years to undo Cass' act of sabotage. But I am in this fight for the long haul and hope you are too.

To be very clear - the Commission on Human Medicine's number one reason for stating puberty blockers are "unsafe" was the speculated impact on "gender and sexuality maturation" and the idea they are making "homosexual in nature" children trans rather than gay. Bigotry wrapped up in nonsense.

Pupdate. Molly at 9 weeks and almost 6 months 🥰

New Evidence Review on Wellbeing of Trans children in schools. This Welsh Goverment commissioned study looked at 99 papers on the impact of education policies & practice on the wellbeing of Trans children finding affirmative schools improve education & wellbeing. wcpp.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Cass Review. New article in the New England Journal of Medicine, founded in 1812 and amongst the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals. Its 2023 impact factor was 96.2, ranking it 2nd out of 168 journals in the category "Medicine, General & Internal".

metro.co.uk/2025/01/18/t... Great article by @itsjoshmilton.bsky.social and it shows we need to be a pain in the ass.

Trans peeps, repost with a pic of yourself that you love!

Actually much more than four, now I count them all;

I have known about the new CPS guidance on 'deception as to sex' for a few days, and I have deliberately held off on talking about it publicly whilst I discussed with some experts, but it looks like people have noticed. Here is a thread. www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidan...

Synchronised puppies 🥰

Quote repost this with a photo of your pet when you first got them and now. Luna and Molly October 2024, 9 weeks old and December 2024, 18 weeks old. Molly is the one lying down in both pictures

Hello! I run an organisation that’s researching the financial links between MPs and the private healthcare sector at the moment 🚨. If you’re concerned about this, please could you follow me + @everydoctor.org.uk and repost this? We need to tell everyone what’s happening!🚨

One of the angels chewed mummy's glasses. I still love them though 🥰

This is funny/not funny. My tragic position has given me some limited access to media and politicians. Those in charge of trans healthcare, trans rights aren’t here and aren’t well read on trans issues. They haven’t heard of SEGM let alone understand their connections to UK youth gender services.

If you liked, and miss Tweetdeck, check out deck.blue ...it's what I use all the time for here, it makes me so happy

Apropos of nothing - here's a section from the very excellent 'No bath, but plenty of bubbles: an oral history of the Gay Liberation Front 1970-73' - which mentions a 'Bev' who liked the big meetings, but was absent in the women's group sessions where things got done... 🤔. Maybe the same 'Bev'

The UK government commissioned a report into LGBT+ experiences of homelessness circa 2017 and then suppressed its release until September this year. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Just some of the Trans people we have lost this year to violence and suicide. I live my life knowing that I, or any one of my friends could be in this collage. On Trans Day of Remembrance I remember Bella and Elizabeth, two friends I have lost, and watch with horror as we are cast as the danger

I bought the pups a bed each today. Can't keep them apart 🤣🥰

This is a truly phenomenal long read about the early origins of the TERF movement by @reproutopia.bsky.social and I can't recommend it enough lux-magazine.com/article/terf...

Seeing as everyone is moving here, I thought I'd start off with some new family members. Meet Molly and Luna 🥰
