Imagine for a second since very early you’ve known you were a girl, your parents tried desperately to convince you to be a boy but you couldn’t, they tolerate it but don’t support, you find Brownies and suddenly they all love and support you, this space is vital to your wellbeing, then this happens.

Do not take part in any “research” by the “Gender Dysphoria Institute”.

In between my ‘day job’, my ‘research job’, my PhD, and the triggering news today - me and the duck have been making my way to Glasgow. I now realise I have never named my @lancasteruni.bsky.social duck…

I have been struggling to find the words today. Utterly horrendous.

Hey! 👋 🏳️‍⚧️ My name is Lilly-Emma (she/they), and I’m an AuDHD, trans, Jewish woman based in the UK. I am a medicine PhD student & co-lead for a UK consultation in transition-related healthcare for trans & non-binary+ adults. Last year, I was the LGBTQ+ Officer at Lancaster Students’ Union. [1/2]

Shape the future of healthcare research for trans, non-binary & gender diverse adults at wp.lancs.ac.uk/transadultspsp Funded by @genderedintelligence.co.uk, delivered by @lancasteruni.bsky.social in partnership with @transactualuk.bsky.social, @giresuk.bsky.social, OUTpatients BAGIS.

🚨 Please Share If anybody has any material culture related to protesting the Cass Review specifically, and would like to share pictures of them with me, then please send me images here or via [email protected]. I have an idea to do a little write-up about them from the pov of an archaeologist

New post: LABOUR'S SECTION 28 IS HERE - ACT NOW. I explain how the Labour government's proposed revisions to the guidance on "keeping children in education" are designed to erase trans children in England. But it's not a done deal - there is plenty we can do to oppose this.

I’ve been working on this project since October 2024. It’s since grown into a national consultation, funded by @genderedintelligence.co.uk, and delivered in partnership with @transactualuk.bsky.social @giresuk.bsky.social and the British Association of Gender Identity Specialists.

To all teachers - look out for your trans, non-binary & gender diverse students and colleagues tomorrow. Today’s news has been horrendous. I’ve just had a cry myself. I’m so pleased to no longer be a teacher. Grateful that I can be with my community at times like this.

Lancaster University researchers are leading a national consultation to identify research priorities for healthcare interventions for adults experiencing gender incongruence and gender dysphoria. They're asking for responses to an initial screening survey here. wp.lancs.ac.uk/transadultsp...

Lily-Emma is a researcher looking to hear from trans adults in England about their experiences of accessing (or attempting to access) transition related care. She'd really appreciate it if you took part in her survey: www.transhealthresearch.uk/postcodelott...

A new study is exploring how your location in the UK affects access to gender-affirming care, and you can participate. A 15-30 min questionnaire by a trans, neurodivergent researcher, highlighting inequalities to drive real change and centre our voices. www.transhealthresearch.uk/postcodelott...

Less than 4 weeks to go! www.transhealthresearch.uk/postcodelottery

Trans+ voices wanted for a new study investigating the inequalities of access to gender-affirming healthcare in England. This study is led by a trans+, neurodivergent research student at Lancaster University. (1/3)

Trans+ voices wanted for a new study investigating gender-affirming healthcare inequalities in England. Led by a trans+ neurodivergent research student at Lancaster Uni. Outcomes will inform subsequent research into impacts & policy recommendations. www.transhealthresearch.uk/postcodelott...
