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!

Someone amazing just sent £50 so we are now only £266 away! www.gofundme.com/f/bee-afford...

My wonderful friend Bee is now just £316 away from fully funding 10 hours of electrolysis. I know this is a hard time of year for everyone, but it would be really awesome if we could get this fully funded for the holidays. Please consider donating and sharing this around. Every little bit helps!

Tracing through Cass’s sole citation on this is very informative about the (lack of) quality of evidence that she relies on

This would be the Cass who twisted trans young people saying that youth GIC needed to be better about letting people who didn't want the stereotypical "complete" transition have healthcare access into "clinics should deny healthcare because gender fluidity"

🚨 New records released under FOI show the Department expect pharmacists to question trans people to access the free HRT scheme. "Pharmacists will be able to query" despite the PCRS acknowledging "it would be practically very difficult to identify the reason people are using specific products".

Also, who do I need to write to complain about the substandard advertising used to promote my events at universities? Pfft. Have university administrators never heard of Canva?

I don’t want your shitty dignity and respect. Nothing short of equality and justice will do.

Did you know that NHS phlebotomists in Gloucestershire have been striking for 271 days now (article is a month old). Strike fund is first link: southwest.unison.org.uk/campaigns/fa... southwest.unison.org.uk/news/2025/11...

This is from the 2021 paper before the 'Sullivan review' was ever announced. Does this look like the writing of someone approaching an issue without a pre-determined conclusion? I leave that as an exercise for the reader.

'Listen to me as I come to your neighbourhood and tell your trans siblings they are subhuman or I will use the wealth of billionaires to sue you into oblivion,' is a very late-capitalism form of free speech right.

I surveyed 12 UK national trans groups about whether they were consulted by the Sullivan Review. All responded that they were not. Whose free speech is being threatened and by whom.

"average person knows 3 sex offenders" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person knows 0 sex offenders. Journalism Georg, who lives in cave & is pals with 10,000 sex offenders and enjoys their dinner parties and their funny anecdotes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted"

Started this page to document all the absolute shit GICs talk. Ancient twitter reference feels appropriate to the era some of the claims belong in.

23/ 18:20 Cass claims that there's "some suggestive evidence that social transition mat change the trajectory of gender development in young children. This is both a lie, and framing being trans as inherently negative - advocates implicitly for a ban on social transition

What happened to this damn country? Keeps goin' from bad to worse.

If anyone is ever wondering why I'm like this it's because I was exposed to Fist of Fun and Brass Eye at the tender age of 8

Has anyone posted this yet

QueerAF asked me what I thought about the Levy Review.

I like (absolutely hate) how Cass is like 'uh trans bad it forces children into boxes' but then also goes on about how PBs bad because they might affect future vaginoplasty surgery options, making the assumption all trans women/fems will want that

In fairness to Hilary Cass, I would absolutely change my Teams name to Baroness Crosby if I could. But unfortunately I wouldn’t be prepared do the work of endangering children that is apparently needed for one to earn that title.

hi please can you all tell me what drugs you have all replaced alcohol with? there is no way you're all out there raw dogging living in the UK www.ft.com/content/0f42...

Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there. Puberty Blocker bans harm trans kids, no-one should pretend they don’t.

Dru Marland’s blog from 2010 about Walliams. Why was this not career-ending then…?

wow imagine if a small number of vindictive bastards used lawsuits to make life harder for a random group of people! imagine if some of them even built their entire careers out of doing that!

oh there’s no need to get the courts involved because there’s no actual problem with who is currently using gendered toilets? wow really! that’s so interesting! now let me just take a huge sip of coffee and check what Lucy Hunter Blackburn’s job has been for the past 9 years

i was just innocently burning these ants with my magnifying glass and now there are these extremist ones protesting getting burned by my magnifying glass and it's really unhelpful because they're making all the other ants nervous that i'm going to burn them with my magnifying glass :/

When my mum visited last week the fascist who got taken out by lamppost came up in convo and I started laughing. Which I was a bit worried about bc she's politically left but thought she might be like well we shouldn't laugh at people dying even if they're bad but she started laughing too

The woke war on Christmas claims another casualty

“Oh my critics just say stuff like (obvious strawman) and (misrepresentation of criticism). It’s all because of (conspiracy theory)” Nope, at this point there are multiple detailed takedowns you’ve not addressed. Outside of the UK and US this thing has been roundly rejected.

..."I wish to be of the opposite sex", as it's entirely binary, and (this point's not in the study) does not express actual intent or desire to transition, but rather an abstract idea. Cass is taking it out of context to spin for her own transphobic aims. Other graphics are just straight up made up

12/ 15:55 Cass lies about the study "Development of Gender Non-Contentedness During Adolescence and Early Adulthood" and misuses a graph from the paper - lying about what it shows. I've talked about this part already: bsky.app/profile/illu...

My spicy takes that will probably get me yelled at are 1. It wouldn't actually matter if some people are trans because of trauma (other than yknow. Anyone going through trauma is bad). 2. Assuming something caused by trauma would stop if that trauma was "resolved" is a bad assumption

This seems to suggest that after PBs instead of... Getting HRT if that is wanted there will be a "pause"where pts are forced off blockers but not allowed HRT. Making it so people are forced through a puberty they don't want anyway.

19 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In bizarre British Med Jrnl intertiew, Hilary Cass suggests that 5 or less trans kids seen by NHS should get GAMT, compares its mild side effect to those of chemotherapy & radiation, and equates withholding GAMT from them with "helping" & "supporting" them.

There's also an Anna Ramsbottom of Sheffield children's hospital who appears to be openly advocating for conversion therapy in the teams chat.

She claims there's a funded campaign spreading disinfo (i.e. criticising it because its shit) about the Cass report

AHAHAHAHAH IN THE MEETING SHE SAYS SHE WAS A GOOD REPORT CHAIR BECAUSE SHE HAS NO FUTURE CAREER AMBITIONS. WHILST SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFYING HERSELF AS BARONESS CASS HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

created a meme for one of you to show at my funeral.

Cass literally saying there has been no increase in suicide as a result of her ban on puberty-blockers. Tell that to the family of Leia Sampson-Grimbly. She is also ignoring all the other harm her ban is causing, that I have documented here in my peer-reviewed (unlike the Cass Review) research.

Hahahaha the way her teams name is Cass, Baroness is genuinely pathetic

Simon Wesseley, Chair of this, was involved with the entirely discredited ME PACE trial, in which you could get worse during the course of the study and yet be declared healthier, due to the way the data were manipulated. The effects still hurt & haunt pwME and LC today. *Avoid this at all costs*

In light of the Levy Review potentially giving transphobes oversight of medical research on trans healthcare, Trans Safety Network recommend English trans people OPT OUT of their healthcare data being used in research. Information on how to do this can be found in the quoted post and thread.

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

watching 'My Neighbor Totoro' for the first time in a while and Hillel was transfixed by the Catbus scenes, he woke up from a dead sleep & stared intently at the teevee the whole time lol

Oh, I didn’t know Lululemon was acquired by Paul Singer, one of the most prolific funder of anti-trans hate group.

This thread and its replies aged remarkably well over the past two months. Now senior civil servants are blowing the whistle that One Login is crap. youtu.be/_ll_Gnpey4U

Handful of cis transphobes complain about he word cis being used BBC: Puts in style guide not to say cis, notes it is offensive to some Huge chunk of trans people + allies object to sudden introduction of a slur for trans people being seen as default BBC: sorry you were offended but fuck off
