Love this lamp 🥰 I don’t remember when my mum got it but I’m 39 now and it was definitely around when I was about 12

The High Court found "the OfS approached the decision with a closed mind and had therefore unlawfully predetermined the decision" [para 455] and "The decision-maker here was biased in the sense of having a closed mind to the legal and factual merits of the University’s position" [para 443].

Well well well…isn’t that interesting I wonder how many universities will admit that knee jerk reactions to this original ruling were not only unwise, but have harmed the trust that marginalised students and staff put in them There is no neutrality www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This small observational study highlights the need for appropriate anatomical language in clinical skills teaching, and the accidental harms that can occur when gendering mannequins. Gender Assignment Based on Mannequin Anatomy - asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Change is literally what experts want. I’ve worked closely in medical education with experienced Public Health drug and alcohol specialists who are desperate for politicians to listen to evidence not media spin. Ignoring the data does not make our current policies any safer

Our article (led by @chris-noone.bsky.social) covering (some of) the failings of the Cass report is now available. We identified all included reviews as having a high ROB and highlight major methodological flaws, ultimately suggesting Cass' findings should not guide policy. l1nq.com/CriticallyAp...

As a team that includes trans and non-binary people we know any criticism we make of Cass will be seen as ideological This is why we grounded our work in a methodical critique, using established tools Whilst our identities still matter, this is about the poor and biased application of methodology

Proud to have been apart of this team. Research methodology matters. Policy should be based on methodologically sound research. Our results show the many methodological flaws of the Cass Review. Check it out ⬇️

It took us over a year to get this thing out through a peer review process because actual review takes time. Actual, non-bribed, non compromised review goes through iterations, and anything that went through "peer review" in a suspiciously short time is suspect. Anywho, the Cass Review is busted.

When your kids heart is completely broken and there is nothing you can do 😞.

Cass Review "should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare." Kudos to the authors, incl: @chris-noone.bsky.social @elequinn.bsky.social @floralashes.bsky.social @gilmorejnurse.bsky.social @ghawinriver.bsky.social @ryan-goulding.bsky.social @drjohartland.bsky.social

The Cass Review gets peer reviewed and absolutely shredded Cass is the Wakefield of our time. A scandal in broad daylight

As said in another post, I’m delighted to have contributed with amazing authors to this peer-reviewed paper highlighting deep methodological flaws in the Cass report Too often this is upheld as a perfect example of evidence based medicine, when in truth there are clear and worrying inconsistencies

It got identified as the next wedge issue after gay marriage and the American right started covertly funneling money to the tiny minority of UK bigots in order to help mainstream their position. They picked up some famous converts and now they're reaping the rewards. It's entirely manufactured.

If a court refuses to hear legal arguments from one whole side then its decision can hardly be considered fair, impartial, or balanced.

Trans women are < than 1 in 1,000 people Statistically the most dangerous person in a woman’s life is a man she already knows and shares a home with Nothing about today changes this fact This is a manufactured well-funded plan to radicalise you & normalise far right ideology

Today’s ruling makes no-one safer. It makes vulnerable people more vulnerable, and does nothing to protect women from the epidemic of male violence The time wasted harassing, legislating and controlling such a small population of the UK only makes sense through a lens of bigotry

Some amazing personal news - I'm in a children's book! A Year of Pride and Joy is an empowering anthology of joyful stories from 52 contemporary LGBTQIA+ voices! Actual celebrities and amazing people…and somehow me! Queer joy is resistance. Pre-order at www.waterstones.com/book/a-year-...

Unfortunately the only way to interpret this sort of violence is to admit that queer lives are not seen as valuable When you defund the health of a population, you are actively choosing to eradicate that population

Streeting stating he will implement the Sullivan review recommendations should worry every medic and every scientist involved in health data. We are increasingly seeing the influence of far right exclusionary beliefs impacting health services & monitoring. Will @bma.org.uk respond?

This is 38 🎈

The healthcare community has to be outraged against this. Surely this is enough to make you see that there is a systematic erasure of healthcare for these groups Restricting the publication of evidence and research is the pinnacle of violence which weaponises knowledge systems #lgbtq #meded #health

Despite ongoing attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, another medical school has joined the GLADD Charter, pledging support on an inclusive so-called conversion therapy ban & 6 principles of LGBTQ+ education Welcome to Bangor! Joining the overwhelming majority of UK med schools 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is so spot-on (and equally applies to misgendering)👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

No regrets, ionic behaviour Repost with your emo hair

Night time skincare instead of a night out did unfortunately result in me feeling a lot better. Hate it when common sense wins.

I’m adorable

Merry Christmas if you celebrate and remember Samaritans are available day or night on 116 123 www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-h...

In 2021 I wrote with colleagues the @gladduk.bsky.social Medical Schools Charter on So-Called LGBTQ+ Conversion Therapy 3.5 years on I was honoured to be invited by @kateosbornemp.bsky.social to give evidence in parliament on this alongside amazing survivors There is power in medical education

Excuse the poorly lit selfie but @drjohartland.bsky.social came THROUGH with their haircare recommendations - I haven’t had volume like this in MONTHS!

One day I will wake up and the only trans news will be about advancements in healthcare rather than the whole world celebrating because a politician has been banned from pissing anywhere but her own private bathroom. One day.

So is there an #queerinmedicine thread to meet everyone yet? How do we kick one off?

Hi, I’m Jo (they/them) Queer ex-NHS Dr, academic in health justice education & activist in #LGBTQ+ rights You can read about my work in my NTF blog social.advance-he.ac.uk/aWwcxH And my Attitude Pride Award youtu.be/xfHNDqsi428 Follow for queer & political posts, with occasional thirsty vanity

I’ve never called myself an expert, but increasingly find the label given to me. There’s a huge danger to this; walking the line between believing in yourself and believing the hype. Not sure I’ve figured out the balance yet - how to take time for humility and joy. Still, proud of how far I’ve come

Help! I’m being savagely attacked #queer #dog #cute
