Surprising to see Elon claim it was Soros - everybody else knows it was the UTM* *Underground Trans Mafia

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

The NHS struggles to record and recognise non binary gender identities. Not surprising then that the evidence base for non binary identities is poor. Note- this is not trans masc only non binary. www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/u...

Please just answer this one question, what’s an appropriate length of time for an adult to wait to see an nhs gender clinic, if the nhs can’t meet that target why isn’t right to choose implemented? again I’m talking about adults here not kids.

Looking pretty full right now

Q. What happens if a lot of rich people pay to get a rich man elected to keep them rich? A. America.

Today's ban on NHS HRT for under 18s formalises a policy that has already been in place - Noone under 18 has received a new prescription for HRT since mid 2024 (I don't know of any since late 2023). Of course this policy also raises the risk of similar action on private healthcare for under 18s.

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now). This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised ‘trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.

If you find yourself on the same side as Hitler, Trump and Putin in a culture war, it is probably time to reconsider. Scapegoating trans people is fascism, plain and simple

From the MHRA “This trial will only be allowed to go ahead if the expert scientific and clinical evidence and advice conclude it is both safe and necessary.” www.gov.uk/government/n...

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one. Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

Just memorise this thread if you’re ever in need of help

The alternative being “ full speed ahead to couldn’t give a sh1t, burn the planet, isolationism” I know which I’ll choose

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

Oddly @glaucomflecken.bsky.social is the only person I might believe over @dankaszeta.bsky.social when it comes to dealing with exposure to pepper spray in the eyes www.facebook.com/share/v/17Xe...

I’ve met a few politicians in my NHS career. Some care, some are smart, some are just political. I found Andy Burnam to be top in all three, I am not a Labour voter but having him in Parliament at this time would have been excellent.

He pretends to be outraged when war memorials are disrespected during marches that pass by them but the actual denigration of British war dead? “Not quite fair.” What an irredeemable shitbag.

A decade of trans advocacy has taught me people believe lies because they want to, not because they don't know they are lies. They believe trans people will regret our transition because they want us to regret our transition. They believe we are a "social contagion" because that is how they see us

How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops. Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.

Trump is offensive. Moan about politics- I don’t care. But saying the 457 UK military deaths in Afghanistan were not needed is offensive. FYI the UK and USA lost the same percentage of their military forces in the conflict AT THE REQUEST OF THE USA.

There is the case of Croft - confirmed in the Scottish Ministers case by the Supreme Court as good law - which conflicts with this judgement and is not addressed in it. There will be appeals in these cases but right now, the law is a total mess and which ones are overturned on appeal will be key:

You know you're real feminist warriors for women and especially lesbians when you're backed by the anti-abortion and homophobia financiers the Christian Legal Centre

You're telling me a woman was forced to give up her trophy to a biological male

Incredibly important new study from Cal Horton @fiercemum.bsky.social - the first to look at England's post-Cass child/adolescent gender clinics. Dr Horton found patients and families are being actively harmed, with one young person describing appointments as "the worst thing I’ve ever experienced”.

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened." REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar. Grow a spine.

We are Christopher Isherwood, watching the scenes in the Berlin street below from our apartment window above.

Now we need the “society for evidence based gender policy” oh sorry- that’s supposed to be the government.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

As clear a sign as any that Canada cannot trust the Starmer government to back us in the face of American intimidation or aggression of any kind, under any circumstance.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

Some thoughts on the Levy Review: - it's mostly but not entirely okay - if you're in England, opt out of data collection - it avoids confronting the biggest problems - it ignores 15 years of health research - there are clear examples of better practice - move trans health to primary care already!

Just a thought. How quick the NHS can move when it wants to.

Back in 2019, Deborah Cohen and Hannah Barnes ran an anti-trans 'news' laundering scam using their privileged positions as Newsnight journalists, as well as Deb Cohen's position as an editor at the British Medical Journal (BMJ). THIS is the real 'scandal' - one about BBC journalists as lobbyists...

It was used by Hannah Barnes to *manufacture* the appearance of ‘concerns’ about healthcare for trans youth This ought to be a titanic scandal

Britain’s Equalities Commission continues on its crusade to persecute trans ppl. It is quoted as saying ‘Nobody is expecting there to be a toilet police.’ In fact members of the so-called gender critical have asked for armed men to police the loos! The journo writes of ‘controversy and anger …

"I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career." An act like this is, in itself, a victory for kindness and empathy.

From this infinite monkey, I offer a heart and a mind that is open to so many possibilities of what it is to be human, hopefully other members of the gang will feel similarly #translivesmatter #lgbtq

The thing about all the anti-trans sports panic: people argue this stuff while talking about elite level sports, but because there aren't actually a ton of superhuman trans women blowing away the competition, the people actually affected end up being those who play sports for fun/socialization

Off to bed and thinking about the millionaire comedians who were too poor to say no to Riyadh comedy festival - please spare a thought for ‘free speech absolutist” JIMMY CARR

I wonder if the Levy review will drop tomorrow

I've forgotten who said it first, but one of the grossest points of our currently landscape is the expectation that we should received clearly disorted and self-serving statements and actions from those in power in good faith and go along with their absurdities
