GIRES has agreed to endorse this research recruitment study to understand how psychological therapy for trans people can be improved. This project has been developed closely with trans people with lived experience of mental health difficulties. For more information, please see the poster.

I am going to have to look up what dignity and respect are, because this isnt how I understood the meaning of those words

Also I really like this figure for making a crucial point of the study - trans kids' identities are roughly as stable as cis kids' identities.

My first successful ascent. My weekend has peaked

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

Having a research page that shares my publication record seems so innocuous, but it also essentially outs me and tells people my deadname and I don't know how I feel about that. I'm really proud of some of the work I've been involved in, but work colleagues don't need such cursed knowledge

The Irony is that is they had just left it there someone would have come along and stolen it by now

When I look back at the guidance that came with my GRC as to how I should expect to be treated in law I wonder how on earth we have wandered so far from the light, and under the guidance of an organisation that is supposed to exist to protect my rights.

And yet, if you’re a trans person who passes, then you’re at even higher risk of also been banned from the only single-sex service that you *are* permitted to use (the one of your sex recorded at birth) (This is from the draft code that the EHRC put out for consultation)

Really happy to see this statement. The EHRC guidance will make 'passing' the standard, and will in turn reinforce gender stereotypes. Only those who don't conform will be safe from the scrutiny, so it's good to see it being called out like this.

Not saying I'm jaded and suspicious, but I've just been sent a link to an amazing sounding clinical resource and I don’t want to click on it because it feels like it'll end up being a phishing test by my IT dept

Saying we should live free of discrimination and harassment while also advocating our segregation and exclusion from basic services seems to be standard labour policy these days

Truly exceptional show, and always a great night out every time I visit @trplymouth.bsky.social‬

Seems like a while since Theatre Lisa was deployed, but I have a feeling this will be worth the wait.

"The stark reality is that, in the UK, trans people are denied body autonomy" This @bpsofficial.bsky.social article hits hard. Rare to see something so accurately capture the challenges trans+ individuals have accessing care in the UK www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

This report dismantles many of the ‘gender critical’ transphobic talking points and offers counter-narratives based on facts and evidenced research. 👉🏻 gate.ngo/wp-content/u...

It is not very often that I link to Reddit, but this is a very important post and I think we should all go and read it. I am incredibly serious about this. www.reddit.com/r/transgende...

This is clearly brilliant, very welcome, and everyone should read it. But while there are far more important things at play here whever I see pictures of @humanrightsvicky.bsky.social I just want to ask which lippy she uses because it always looks fab

Just in case anyone needs a picture of my cat, here's Tsuki relaxing in the sun

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

Saw this and couldn't unsee it as a giant robotic barn owl

My referral to my local GIC was in Sept 2017, meaning my time on the waiting list for a first appointment is nearly 8 years now. It's utterly scandalous.

It's never about women's rights It's always about trans exclusion archive.is/T29qE

I realised yesterday just how much I've missed being on a campus surrounded by brilliant people while simultaneously also pretending to be one of them

Very happy to finally be able to share that I have now joined the University of Birmingham Medical School as an Associate Professor.

Happy Ozzy brings me a lot of joy

Been watching the stream of the final Ozzy/Sabbath show today and loving every moment of it. Glad to say Ive seen both before but damn what a legacy they'll leave behind.

Still buzzing after last night's Slayer show. Despite seeing them a lot over the last few decades I honestly never thought I'd get to see them again, and I swear Tom Araya's huge smile is one of the most precious things in metal.

Overdue. Homelessness is a real issue for trans+ people. I know for a fact this charity was informed of the vile views SD posts, & why some in our local community may not feel safe seeking support from them. They understood concerns, but chose to keep her on www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymout...

Had a little bit of gender euphoria today. I never thought I'd have the confidence to go to a public beach for the day in a bikini, but here I am.

Very happy to see this

Really love this picture from last night's trans pride after party ⚧️

I look magnificent for this early on a Saturday. Doing my bit!

Really upset by this. The labour party in my city have portrayed themselves as allies, been vocal about trans rights, and spoken at LGBT events and protests. And now we need their support more than ever before we get this.

Just horrified that this @plymouthherald.co.uk story about a council motion tabled by @dylantippetts.bsky.social includes this hot take from a sitting labour cllr "Cllr Penberthy said they heard a lot about men identifying as women in order to commit violence against women.." archive.is/RixUc

Stunning. It feels like the UK is a very long way from lighting up one of its world renowned buildings in pride colours

Misinformation about #trans kids is spreading like wildfire I’m a Harvard-trained psychiatrist & researcher who has spent a decade working in this space My new book Free to Be: Understanding [The Science Medicine & Politics of] Kids & Gender Identity is available now: allstora.com/products/fre...

Really happy to see more of Galaxy. I bought the first one (The Prettiest Star) and it's such a beautiful story that really spoke to me and captures so much of what we all go though. One of those rare comics that made me cry but in a really good way.

Facehugger, Alien (1979).

All the horrors in the world to dela with at the moment.. and yet there is something beautifully humanising about this picture - Just people going about their lives together. I am forever in awe of our community. Look at what we go through and yet we still persist.

Huge respect for Dylan, it's great to see him smiling again and able to speak up and use his platform to advocate for trans rights

Really happy to see this will be tested because the interim guidance is unfit for purpose. It's agenda driven, and I can't understand why the breach to my right to privacy isnt being factored into the thinking of an organisation thats supposed to be there to protect me

The erosion over the last 10 years of LGBTI human rights in the UK is pretty stark... This score is based on a range of metrics but despite this being about LGBTI individuals, everyone suffers (c/o rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org)

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
