Gender Identity Clinic's Waiting Lists from Shortest To Longest

Was able to contribute a little to the Eugenics zine featured amongst the brilliant collection alone. Highly recc keeping an eye on the DARK materials, they’re written in plain language so can be a great way to introduce folks to some complex topics! #disablityresearch #zine

The EHRC is bound to protect the right to protest. Instead, it is trying to crush it. That's why Good Law Project is intervening to resist an injunction which would prevent – and criminalise – protest on the EHRC premises. goodlawproject.org/the-ehrc-is-...

Had the honour of getting to cowrite a response to the recent UKSC verdict & the creep of biological fundamentalism with the incredible Dr Cas Lovelock, reflecting on our personal & professional lived experience. #transrights #disabilityjustice #transkidsdeservebetter #lgbtq

Trans and being told by your employer you can no longer use the toilets at work (especially if not out to all your colleagues)? A cis woman who has been challenged when using the toilet? Otherwise affected by the SC judgment? Please share & fill out this form: goodlawproject.org/about/trans-...

Presented “Disability and Deinstitutionalisation: revisiting Lennox Castle” to other sociology students at Glasgow Uni, reflecting on the work I’ve carried out in this 1st year of my PhD. Many thanks to Dr Lovelock for advice on presenting sensitive & emotional research, & driving me to fieldwork.

🧵For Women Scotland crowdfunded £230,000 for this trial. I am going to tell you as an actual feminist what £230000 pounds could have done for women in the UK. -Fund housing for women escaping gender violence for eg it could have paid two months of rent for about 160 women

Have you spent 10 or more years in prison? Prison Reform Trust is looking for research participants.

Yeah, this is what epistemicide looks like. "Do not treat trans people like they are deserving of dignity. Do not speak against their dehumanization. It is illegal to push back against their vilification. The right to spread transphobia supersedes trans perspectives and voices."

For those interested in the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 context, the Scottish Union of Mental Patients (SUMP) was est 2yrs prior to its London counterpart. SUMP presented their “Petition for the Redress of Grievances put forward by the patients in Hartwood Hospital, Shotts Lanarkshire” on 18th August 1971. 1/?

Having tackled other societal menaces, such as disabled adults and transgender children, Starmer announced yesterday that he’d be forming a posse to erase every last galago, before they can get their tiny paws on our precious bananas.

If you want to write to your Labour MP about disability benefit cuts but have limited spoons, here’s a template from @sensecharity.bsky.social you can use: t.co/E8QB6EDi9o Public backlash *does* work at times so let’s keep the pressure up. You too, non-disabled allies!

Labour’s Proposed Disability Cuts Will Kill People – We Need You To Help Us Fight CN: DWP I need everyone in the UK who isn't directly affected by these potential cuts to read this. Sunday was my birthday, and I spent it in a planning meeting with DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts) about how to…

Already making notes for new readings from this! My personal reccs would be: - Care Work, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha - Tonguebreaker, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha - Decarcerating Disability, Liat Ben-Moshe - Empire of Normality, Robert Chapman - Become Unbutterable, Fiona Robertson

Don't fall for the "you got nothing then!" replies to simple statements of obvious fact "It was a Nazi salute" "Well what about all [gish gallop], prove it was a Nazi salute" "Nah man, it was a Nazi salute" It calls out the utter absurdity of them writing a thesis to defend a fucking Nazi salute!

R (Clifford) v SSWP [2025] EWHC (Admin) decides today that the 2023 WCA consultation, run by the Department for Work and Pensions, was unlawful.

when some guy getting questioned for a position of international power and stature says “I’m not going to get into hypotheticals” he should be asked why not. Aren’t you asking for a job that’s going to involve planning for hypotheticals bro. Bro. Is that not the case

With thanks to @mcaulayjoseph.bsky.social for the reading recommendation to start my New Year with. May 2025 be the year I finally wrangle Social Reproduction Theory. #theory #reading #phdlife

BREAKING NEWS Trans Kids Deserve Better are occupying Wes Streeting's Office at Ilford North. Get down there and support everyone. For folks who want to support. Signal announcement group: www.transkidsdeservebetter.org/adult_suppor... We've Been advised to share this.

"Equality, dignity, and freedom for all individuals" are words that were actually said today in the Northern Ireland Assembly as they discussed how important International Human Rights Day is at around the same time the NI Executive was voting unanimously to ban on puberty blockers.

Two months in and this is perhaps the most accurate summary of my PhD journey thus far. #phd #phdthoughts #writing #research

Some notes from someone who's been living 'my government is trying to kill me' for 20 years: Don't tell people at risk 'we survived before, we'll survive now'. Many of them won't, and they know it. 1/

🚅 London bound for the Stuart Hall Foundation Fellowship welcome event! Excited to meet up and hear about everyone’s projects, even if I’m still working out how to pitch mine (very thankful to my friends for patiently editing over messages when I have signal) #PhD #London #Travel

✨Life Update: I’m starting a PhD at Glasgow Uni this October, with funding from SGSSS and a fellowship with the Stuart Hall Foundation. Sad to leave team ScotParl this Tuesday after three years, but excited for the adventures that lie ahead. 📷 Audrey Ho

Matching @docphoenix.bsky.social book with my coffee A political nerd since I was 11 watching the LD/Tory coalition form whilst down with flu, who now works in policy and research at ScotParl I’m likely a bit biased…but, whether you’re a politics hater, stan, both or neither: it’s a must read!

Any recommendations for the poetry corner of my desk at work? Always looking for more queer/trans/BIPOC art and words! These beautiful ones have been repurposed from the Programme for I, Joan. #poetry #poetrycorner #lgbtq #collage #trans

Due to Unhelpful Brain I haven’t been able to enjoy a book in months. So, my Christmas Eve Treat is trying out reading, at my own pace, a book I’ve had in my sights for a while! Thank you @lighthousebks.bsky.social for providing respite from Loud Christmas! #reading #neurodiversity #books

It's been a week with no Minster For Disabled People. Today, they have announced it will be scrapped. It was created in 1974, but I guess it's too 'woke' for the people who run our country. After twenty years of killing us, they've finally decided to stop pretending they care.

Just clicked submit on my PhD Funding App: I still don’t know the difference between it’s & its (despite having worked as an editor and writer) I’m too, big a fan, of commas, I also want to thank my potential supps for supporting me through it when I’ve been v unwell. #phdfunding #disabled

Bastard pain flare ups mean it’s a bed = desk day. My own disability and health are both things that have come crashing down this year, but in my research for PhD funding I’ve discovered work that has let me learn to try and be kinder to myself, even if just a lil bit. #phdfunding #disability

Today we mark #transdayofremembrance It's been a year since I spoke at TDOR for the first time, and its been a fucking hard year. My heart goes out to each and everyone of my trans and nonbinary siblings. Pt1/?

I think this poem, Because Of Us by Em Berry (@skinhungry on insta), has shattered me. I looked it up and it's true. I had no idea. As a disabled person who uses gauze regularly, this was a body blow.

So excited that the SG Non Binary Equality Action Plan has been published today: first of its kind in the UK! After working on the GRA in a professional capacity, it was nice to be able to participate in a personal capacity for this through engagement sessions held w NB folks. #nonbinary #lgbtq

After a parliamentary term taken up with being very unwell, I’ve treated myself to my first Pokémon game to explore over Recess! Any tips from those who aren’t complete newbies like myself? #Pokémon #Nintendo
