This is NOT what the FIFA World Cup is about. The FIFA World Cup is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping though pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh

For those who don't remember, the CAN-SG is a spin off clinical group of SEGM (with largely overlapping founding leadership) who were previously largely controversial for their links to trump health policy and conversion therapy.

Friday afternoon is a tough crowd so I'm boosting now - here's me, toning down the anger somewhat but still getting my point very much across.

can't wait for Episode III to drop! The fan theories are already running wild!

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

Or take this case, from the US, where a trans woman having a male marker on her driving licence caused her serious legal trouble. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

We don't even have to go to abstract arguments to know what happens when trans people use the facilities of their assigned sex in this country. We have the receipts. bsky.app/profile/dams...

I personally wouldn't go to The Spectator Garden Party and I wouldn't trust anybody who did. I have no legally actionable thoughts on what should happen at The Spectator Garden Party even about how cool it would be.

Hey, that one report from the Levy review finally came out in which out of 1229 patient only responses 9 were from detransitioners and only 12 patients expressed any regret, which was mostly focused on surgeon they chose or distance from GIC(!) www.midlandsandlancashirecsu.nhs.uk/wp-content/u...

On that 1 in 8 young people in the UK unemployed/out of education story... Was there any sort of breakdown by gender/race/LGBTness/disability? I suspect that rate looks much worse for trans young people as an example.

A very good piece, that I’d like to hear some responses to from some British journalists too tbh. This is especially chilling

A 2nd experiment showed faces in full view with different parts of the face concealed, found "extraordinarily high error rates in recognising female faces in laser scans". A 47.9% error rate and 52.6% where various types of masks were used - participants were more likely to fail than be right! 2/

Based on Stephenson's appalling quote, I've followed the evidence for identifying the sex of people by their face. The original study [Bruce et al 1993] asked participants to separate laser scans of (Caucasian) faces. "Laser profiles of females gave rise to high [38.9%] error rates." 1/

We are suing Ofcom for its failure to tackle TalkTV's transphobia and misinformation We want the court to tell Ofcom they must start taking proper action against hate. But we can't bring this case without your support 👇

This is the most important lesson for her: "If you need to step away and breathe, please do. You have your whole life ahead of you. You have done more than enough for your community and your country...That's not quitting. That's surviving."

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

The collective journalistic freakout over someone disliking a cafeteria sandwich at Oberlin or some Yale students asking their peers to be less racist at Halloween has generated far more copy and uproar than multiple universities illegally firing faculty for nonconservative speech they disliked.

if you're a cis person and want to know the best thing you can do to help trans people right now, it is paying the legal bills of trans people who were injured, beaten, and arrested for being trans during the last weekend of pride in the fucking transgender district of san francisco. fuck the SFPD.

Spoke to NBC News about why it's not okay to make databases of gay people in this particular moment in history www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/s...

If you're cis and mad about the anti-trans Supreme Court ruling today, consider helping a trans person get the equipment they need to take their meds: www.omprakash.org/global/distr...

The illegal research project(Disguised as quality assurance) on Trans Youth done at OUS(The only place in norway where you can get Trans-related care as a youth) has finally been declared as such. An illegal research project, and all papers have been pulled from publication.

commit privacy violations against 1700 underage patients publish research of no value get retracted "still world-leading experts tho"

🧵New report from the @childrenscomm.bsky.social shines a bright light on a broken care pathway for children and young people experiencing gender dysphoria. Most get nothing. Only 15% get referred on to the Gender Service, and only 15% assessed / treated for co-occurring mental health need.

Like with Tony Blair: you’d think one of the few upsides of him being prime minister would be that eventually he would resign and go away, and you wouldn’t have to put up with his bullshit any more. But that’s how it used to work. Now, they inflict themselves upon everybody for life.

AirVPN and IVPN seem to be decent alternatives. I got a refund from Mullvad despite only having a few days left of my credit.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mullvadnet/116822244689326681 If you don't want your Mullvad fees going to fund neo-Nazis - or MozillaVPN fees, which is rebranded Mullvad - cancel and get a refund immediately that's whose "free speech" the official account is talking about here, and that's where […]

Fantasric new Joe Caslin instalation celebrating pride, especially trans pride 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ www.rte.ie/news/2026/06...

Newsnight did a hit piece on puberty blockers with Hannah Barnes and they interviewed her in a dark attic with an old rocking horse in the background to associate trans people with horror movies. The lighting was dark and foreboding. The BBC do nothing but shape people's views.

Asking my queer friends in the group chat if there is Grink at Pride.

I feel like Cass turning up at the anti trans anti abortion climate denial conference at this point is partly just a brag. Look what I can do and how much crankery I can be around and no one with power will do or say anything about it!

Hilary Cass going to the Jordan Peterson conference with climate denial, racist, anti-abortion, anti-woke c**ts? Sounds like a crank in her natural habitat?

@unitetheunion.bsky.social have launched a reporting tools for members to report any difficulties arising from the EHRC guidance. It covers both employees experiencing changes and service users. Great to see, anyone who is a member make sure to use it when you experience changes!

We were very pleased to see that the City of Edinburgh Council voted to support a motion to condemn the EHRC’s draft Code of Practice yesterday, 34 votes to 19. Read more about this on our website here: www.scottishtrans.org/edinburgh-co...

Long post about conversion therapy. We need to understand; 1. There is nothing to celebrate about the Non-Ban 2. The REAL purpose of the Non-Ban 3. No-one will persuade Labour to close its loopholes, like cruelty, they are the point. Instead we should get on with opposing CT's use in the NHS.

BREAKING: Andy Burnham announces the new Chancellor will be the last remaining De'Longhi Pinguino Compact PACES72 Classic Compact Portable 8,300 BTU Air Conditioner for sale in the UK, found in a Curry's that everyone in the town had forgotten exists, who he is making Baron of the Cotswalds.

If you've shown a willingness to PUBLISH DATA FROM PRIVATE MEDICAL RECORDS WITHOUT PERMISSION, you're done. You're not handling sensitive data again, you're not working with patients again. It's not happening.

I don't find anything to celebrate in Labour's draft bill to ban conversion abuse. As it stands it would legitimise - not end - some conversion practices. You can say it's a first step, and will be fixed, but for two years Labour has steamrolled the LGBTQ+ community. Will they really listen now?

If my writing has meant anything to you over the years, please read the article below and think about subscribing to Episodes.

As someone who has extensively researched conversion therapy promoters operating in the UK I have been raising alarms about the uselessness of the UK corporate charity sector in addressing the practical realities of it for several years now and unfortunately I was fucking right.

The consensus from the LGBTQ+ communities (apart from a few people blinded by self-congratulation) is that this “ban” is worse than no ban. This is FGEN’s response. NOT A BAN feministgenderequality.network/not-a-ban/

I've spent years working towards a ban on conversion practices, hoping to see a bill published. Today, I just feel so profoundly sad. As many others have noted, the draft has a carve out for "healthcare" so broad it makes a mockery of the idea this is a 'ban'. 1/2 www.gov.uk/government/p...

As someone who has been working on the issues of trans death certificates for years, I am very relieved by the outcome in this case. Huge thanks to Leigh Day and my colleague Cat Knight who have done most of the hard work on this case. Proud to work alongside them.

Under the Government’s draft bill to ban conversion abuse, this tortuous practice will be allowed to continue. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/06...

Imagining the ideas pitching meeting where they tweaked the language. Massive exception for healthcare covering everything that is *below* expected professional standards (which already covers a huge array of conversion practices) Conversionist who sits more extreme to that, let's say: "far below"

This is amazing. The Labour Party have released their much vaunted 'conversion therapy ban' with carve outs for... anyone claiming to be a healthcare provider. This is genuinely funny.
