Given Badenoch's boast that she stuffed key positions in the NHS with TERFs I want to know who signed the letter from the MHRA. Why the (still further) cover up by Wes Streeting?

Thank you to all MPs and staff who joined us in Parliament yesterday to hear about the need to protect inclusion. Have you read the letter we've sent with a coalition of nearly 150 feminist and LGBTQ+ organisations, and will you write your own? transsolidarityalliance.com/protectinclusion

📢 ‘Women are more than our appearance’. Delegates at UNISON’s women’s conference condemned the damaging effects of the EHRC interim guidance, emphasising the need for inclusive workplaces and services that respect all women. Read more ⬇️

People asked to see the actual concerns in my GMC referral of Dr Hilary Cass.I’ve published them in full. Four GMP 2024 domains. Peer-reviewed evidence. One question: were the GMC’s own standards met?

The Pathways Trial Has Been Paused. But Are We Asking the Right Questions? open.substack.com/pub/helenweb...

Please submit a response and share to support trans children and @www.helenwebberley.com docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Sadness

Politicising trans child health, not leaving decision experts, trans children health care practitioners, but bureaucrats or ministers make decisions for trans children. One should ask why we do have doctors, doctors specialise in trans children care. Health care is for everyone, not only privileges.

Helen Webberley, who has reported Cass to the GMC, wants to hear how you have been affected by the #CassReview. Please take a moment to do this, it's so important that someone hears actual testimony / this is available for the for the GMC to take into account. open.substack.com/pub/helenweb...

Before I came out as trans I had a fairly successful tuition business. That all collapsed when clients discovered I was trans. Transphobia destroys livelihoods and lives.

I'm a trans woman applying for jobs at the moment and it feels like employers are being scared off hiring people like me. Other trans jobseekers are also noticing some job applications containing obligatory questions that (actually illegally) compel applicants to divulge their trans status.

For anyone who has not seen it, my research, along with the suicide statistics he apparently tried to cover up, show very clearly that Streeting is NOT putting children’s safety first in any way whatsoever. Trans kids are very likely to to suffer trauma well into adulthood, if they make it that far.

Wembley Arena. Let’s go. 💚 I’m proud to be speaking alongside performances from Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight & so many more! It's a moment to stand in solidarity with our trans siblings. Because when any of us are under attack, we show up. Join us: www.ovoarena.co.uk/events/detai...

Puberty blockers have been used safely for the best part of 40 years. One of the authors of No One Talks About This Stuff writes about being prescribed them for precocious puberty. Pausing this trial and/or raising the age past the onset seems like a clear attempt to block all transition.

It gives new meaning to vibe coding 🤭

share.google/FZjGl1FAoaH0... ... Lampshade ... Yes, yes, a lampshade that's what it looks like.

It is interesting to play a game where all the prices are the same colour.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years. That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”. Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives. This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Explain to me just how puberty blockers are considered safe for kids experiencing precocious puberty, but not for trans kids. It's the same drug doing the same job in each case.

"We can help our young people grow up in a body that feels right for them, and it’s simply wrong for extremist politicians to ban this care. #Trans youth know who they are, and they deserve the healthcare they need to thrive. "

For my own part, I found politicians were not particularly interested in the holistic view on care. In terms of %s MSPs largely ignored a volunteer group of #trans people who took a room at the Scottish Parliament building in order that MSP questions could be addressed face to face. GCs seemed "in".

Clinicians, children and families 'believe passionately' in the beneficial effects of puberty blockers because they factually exist.

I wonder who and what she has in mind for testing the veracity of women claiming they are women, because I can't see the options as being anything other than invasive to all women. She's advocating the removal of extremely hard won rights for all of us. And Labour is complicit.

Lifting the UK ban on puberty blockers for trans kids is the only ethical option. "these medications may be prescribed to trans youth as part of safe and evidence-based healthcare that is supported by all major medical organizations" transequality.org/news/lifelin...

“given that there are clinicians, children and families who believe passionately in the beneficial effects, a trial was the only way forward to make sense of this”|Hillary Cass They could literally see their children "flourishing". Cass ripped that away! northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

Returning things is a real pain, if you don't have a "smart" phone. I didn't need one to buy the item.

I'm still trying to find a suitable platform for my journalism. Alongsid articles in the Metro, Bylines, Pink News, I want a place to host regular deep dive articles into issues frequently avoided by the MS Media. I thought Substack was okay. People say it's unethical, so I'm looking to switch.

To me, the government pushing people onto using apps and websites has always felt mildly coercive. A slide towards authoritarian control. This feels like another intrusive coercion. northwestbylines.co.uk/news/making-...

The recent High Court ruling creates an impossible double standard: trans people can use facilities matching their gender as customers, but face segregation as employees. Read our full response here: anne.health/why-the-ehrc...

The PATHWAYS trial really had a whole host of issues, so on one level I am not sad it is being stopped. But this is not being stopped because of those issues. It is being stopped by transphobia.

PSA; Ignore @pollytoynbee.bsky.social and almost anyone from the Guardian. The Green Party is 7 points ahead of Labour in Gorton and Denton.

Humiliated in the media, denied healthcare, attacked by the human rights watchdog, shut out by the Supreme Court, bullied by social services and the police, disadvantaged in the jobs market, death figures covered up by the State, harassment de facto legalised, and attackers deified by Ministers.

The size of the scandal of what's being done to trans people in the UK is too big to even appreciate in one sitting and so many people just aren't even aware.

Absolutely this. In my view Pathways is unethical on more than on level and methodically unsound. It will also not find the answers to the main questions that it is claimed it needs to.

We need to fight back against this pathologically trans-hostile government by getting them voted out one election at a time! 💚💚💚 Go and campaign for the Green Party in Gorton & Denton and show Labour that their right-wing skirt-chasing policies will LOSE!!!

Which is why their leaders keep saying things like a temporary setback will be necessary to own trans pe... I mean, to protect women Except it's not a temporary loss, it's a slippery slope. We're watching more rights be stripped

"By attacking trans rights women erode their own rights. Their own rights to bodily autonomy, to have abortions, to contraception, to dress masculine ect. All of which the Women’s Liberation Movement of the late 1960s fought hard to win." open.substack.com/pub/sophiemo...

The only part of this article that is useful is the observation that there have been no publicised opinion polls in Gorton & Denton. Normally there are plenty for a byelection. Is it because they would tell voters that the party to vote for to beat the fascists is the @greenparty.org.uk...?

If you've got some coin, toss some in the plate of trans journalists telling trans stories from trans perspectives, because the corporate media sure as fuck isn't going to do it.

Someone should make film about all the closed down WI groups

These terfs are as feminist as the Nazis were socialist, or the Democratic People's Republic of Koreais democratic. Most of them are scaremongering, xenophobic conservative mouthpieces that believe women's place is Kinder, Küche, Kirche. All women stand against these tools of oppression. ♀️✊🏳️‍⚧️

Almost like trans women could see this coming when they warned cis women this was coming.

These are the real aims & outcomes of 'gender critical' ideology. All women are less safe because of anti trans bigotry.
