News in that children are now being prescribed weight loss jabs on the NHS. @wesstreetingmp.bsky.social Where are the trials for the use of these experimental drugs in children? How do you know it’s safe? 📢 SHOW US THE EVIDENCE 📢 All so utterly predictable and fucked up. Here we go again ✍️

I'm 50 now and it's worse than when I posted this almost a year ago.

An incredibly important third win in a row in our ongoing fight for the rights and dignities of trans people

Lower bills. Fund our NHS. Not their culture war nonsense. youtu.be/1CbN6TUTRZs?...

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse. Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

#UK #TransRights #Suicides Just in case anyone had any doubt, this happened under the "new service specification". Endless waiting lists which aren't addressed and being denied healthcare, all based on an ideologically driven report riddled in bias and basic methodological research errors.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season. TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible. christinapagel.substack.com/p/england-is...

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

An excellent new article outlining all that is wrong with the Cass Review, condemning its harmful impact on UK policy and practice, and calling it a failure of evidence-based medicine. Written by those involved in trans children's healthcare in Australia. www.mja.com.au/journal/2025...

Now this is how to use FOIs!

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

“Living in poverty” means something very different to JK Rowling vs everyone else… 😣

Wait til they find out about Switch from the Matrix. “Not like this” hits so much harder.

Nigel Farage would definitely eat a swan. But only the right wing.

I *firmly believe* that autism was *selected* in nature, due to there being a benefit in having people in your tribe that see the world differently, and approach problems in a different way, than one that was full of people who all operated similarly. Autistic people improve their communities.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Poetry by one of our members Kate ❤️ tacc.org.uk/2025/09/19/p...

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Well, I'll tell you why... Because MOST of the stress experienced by trans people is NOT the dysphoria. It is the way society... specfically people like this... treats trans people. To do what you suggest would simply consist of them saying: "Yes, we're the problem. Not trans people. Us."

A master plan to exterminate trans people would have this document as a stepping stone. It is from the Far Right Heritage Foundation - who Labour Ministers have chosen to meet.

Read this while it’s still legal

There is a story the bees used to tell, which makes it hard to disbelieve.

Heritage using the term Gillick Competence in the US.

What is happening in Gaza is genocide. While Prime Minister Netanyahu & President Trump have the ultimate power to stop it, Britain has agency too. The Government should do everything in its power to stop this genocide, get the aid flowing and help bring the hostages home.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

I’m sorry, Sens. Fetterman and McCormick say you can’t compare Trump to Nazis so please put $1 in the Nazi Jar

We’ve been watching Wolf Hall, a fascinating study of how the fragile male ego of a fickle, greedy despot creates a culture of deep cruelty and mistrust, where everyone lives in fear of saying the wrong thing. Thank goodness we’ve moved on from those times.

ah, well

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

I will be writing to NHS Lothian to ask for a meeting to discuss how to support those undergoing hormone treatment www.falkirkherald.co.uk/news/opinion...

The age of enshittenment.

Looks like these authors are attempting to avert a cass astrophe

This is a fascinating story: SEGM commissioned systematic reviews on gender affirming care, claimed they showed care should be banned, so the authors have released this statement saying their research is being misused and that it is unconscionable to ban gender affirming care:

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature 🔥🔥🔥 @susanstryker.bsky.social

Semi-regular reminder that if you want to understand and combat our current transphobic moment in the UK, then 'TERF Wars' from @notrightruth.bsky.social and many other incredible activists and academics is essential reading - and nearly all available for free: ruthpearce.net/books/terf-w...

Trans women are not “man enough” to give blood as their “haematological sex” is female. The changes to metabolism and erythropoiesis are significant. It’s a complicated area but good communication would help.
