The adultifying & sexualisation of children because they are Trans is deeply disturbing & harmful. This article is talking about discriminating against 12 and 13 year old girls simply because they are Trans.

Today BASHH & the APPG on HIV, AIDS & Sexual Health hosted a drop-in at Westminster, urging MPs to prioritise sexual health in the NHS 10-Year Plan. With record STI rates, timely and equitable access to care is vital.

Living with HIV, I’ve faced silence, shame, & rejection. Zero HIV Stigma Day reminds us that dignity, love, and respect must replace fear & judgment. It’s a call to end discrimination, uplift our voices, & create a world where everyone can thrive. #ZeroHIVStigmaDay

Speaking in Munich yesterday on #HIVinWomen couldn’t have been more poignant. #HIVtreatment & #HIVprevention has seen real falls in global mortality, prevalence & new diagnoses in the last 10y. The PEPFAR funding crisis puts all this at risk, in particular for women. We must all work to protect them

One of the first websites that this "notice" went up on was one encouraging researchers to include women in clinical trials. This is not, and never has been just a war on transgender people. It's also a war on women. And the feminists who threw trans people under the bus are complicit.

Puts shell to ear: ["I'm still the goddamn Gulf of Mexico."]

“This is a matter of life or death. #PEPFAR provides lifesaving antiretrovirals for more than 20 million people — and stopping its funding essentially stops their #HIV treatment. If that happens, people are going to die and HIV will resurge.” - IAS President Beatriz Grinsztejn, via @cnn.com

It’s #CervicalCancer awareness month! The #HPV vaccine is highly effective. It can prevent 9 in 10 cases of the most high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) – the #1 cause of cervical cancer.

Massive kudos for setting this up: folks in our team have been involved in debates around the politics of blood donation for years. Putting community energy into these kinds of programmes is SO the right step. Register to give blood at www.blood.co.uk

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…
