Call me old fashioned, but I think a Minister of Health should be more concerned about stuff like, you know, denying proven and safe healthcare to people for ideological reasons rather than some paint being thrown on a building

Laura described it as ‘six months of support bliss’ before NHS ICB Sussex (Integrated Care Board) began investigating them."

So remember that man who attacked an elderly woman and shoved her in a bin because he thought she was "a man dressed up as a woman and that she was actually a predatory paedophile"? She died. Transphobes have more blood on their hands 🤬

From a presentation by Dr Hamnvik at the Oslo Trans Health Conference.

The column on the left is the diagnostic guidelines for gender incongruence.

The middle & right columns are the diagnostic criteria for depression.

If a GP can diagnose depression they can diagnose gender incongruence.

Text too small to see. Small amount in left column, huge amount of text in the other columns

If she'd been married and lied about being single or if she'd been a convicted abuser and lied about that she would not be going to jail.

People lie all the time before sex, during sex and after sex.

If you're trans, that's a crime.

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

Being highly intelligent doesn't necessarily mean being better at emotional regulation.

In fact, experiencing intellectual development early is actually associated with neurodivergent conditions that impact emotional regulation, including autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities

'I'd have to think about it' is a good answer. I saw the interview clip. It was a healthy genuine response to a heated & emotive moral dilemma hypothetical q. That's what you want, someone who doesn't react in a knee jerk manner and weighs up the best response for the most effective outcome.

It's eternally frustrating that the HSE has the blinkers on & only looks to UK when it comes to trans healthcare when Spain & Malta are right there! In Spain I can walk into a pharmacist & get estrogen patches. No GP, no traumatic assessments. Just medicine without the bullshit and no one is harmed.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I've an important meeting in 20 mins so he has to go in the crate and be with his other mam and I really don't want to disturb him 😭 I hate when he's being incredibly cute and annoying at the same time and makes me laugh while I'm loosing my temper.

You'd think butter wouldn't melt in his mouth! He's been a very annoying teenager this past few days. When he's not getting attention while I eat breakfast he grabs the pillows & tries to get me to chase him. Yesterday he stole my polling card from the letterbox and tore it up. #Anarchist

Photo of a vintage book cover featuring Dracula dropping gold coins onto his pile of gold coins, he’s smiling as he clearly is a greedy individual. A full skeleton lays on the pile of gold, perhaps it is one of his girlfriends. A naked woman looms in the background for some reason. Copy and title read:

Got to love Dublin. #Speirgorm

Picture of a large junction box on the street at the top of Kildare Street at Stephen’s Green in Dublin, Ireland. On it is painted a very large, angry-looking seagull in front of two wooden gates. Two tiny people, dwarfed by the seagull, appear to be running from it, one on either side of the lower front of the image. The text over the gates reads St Stephen’s Green. The signature in the lower right of the image says M. Fitz 25.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

Typewriter Skeleton @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social · 3d

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

I do find it kinda baffling that the government took something like 1.5billion out of the economy just to reduce the already reduced vat rate on restaurants and hotels and stuff rather than literally anything else. It's just absolutely wild to me! #SpeirGorm
