Poland has asked victims of Epstein to come forward. The UK hasn't done this. If the UK govt did they would have to face up to the fact that the trans panic was in part organised by Epstein for which evidence exists in the Epstein files and that trans women and girls are the victims of this abuse.

I've written a blog aimed at cis ppl, on the recent revelations of rising trans suicide rates since NHS England removed gender affirming care for u18s, in particular about my involvement with trying to seek the truth and the trauma the gaslighting by Appleby, Streeting, Cass and the media causes.
Trans youth suicide - the truth we've always known. What it means to me and what I've been doing about it.
Last week Queer AF broke a story that revealed the suicide rate in trans under eighteens is around fourteen times higher than you might expect from census data.As the parent of Alice a trans woman who...

The Struggles Of Elon Musk 😔
A cartoon made in response to an Elon Musk tweet that reads “Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about 😔” The black and white cartoon shows Musk standing against the wind. There is a distant expression on his face and a single tear being blown from his left eye. He wraps his arms around himself, trying to keep warm. The world is so cruel to him. Punishing him for the meagre crime of hoarding massive amounts of wealth and showing no empathy for the vulnerable. Also, he uses his platform to boost racism, misogyny, and white supremacy but seriously guys who would hold that against a fella? Next to him a caption reads “Being a shit person is ruining my life”

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.
Times report: Allies of Rayner said they believed that Wes Streeting, the health secretary, would be “ruined” by the mass disclosure of all communications with Mandelson in coming months. Streeting and Mandelson were close allies for years.

In eastern Uganda’s Jinja district, groups of older women have embraced cricket as a way to stay active and socially connected.

Referred to locally as “cricket grannies”, they take part in informal games and training that combine light exercise with elements of the sport

As an aside, Rachel is a legend. (From Fischer’s “African Founders”)
Hudson Valley 177 RACHEL'S REVOLUTION: THE CUMULATIVE POWER OF INDIVIDUAL ACTS As the long War of American Independence approached its end in Dutchess County, New York, a slave named Rachel resolved to free herself from bond-age. In 1781, she ran away from her master. He accused her of stealing his property by taking the clothing on her back. Rachel was outraged by the charge of theft. They were her clothes. Probably she had made them. A week later she came back, set fire to her master's house, and escaped to British lines in New York City. Then she disapeared and probably took a new identity. Rachel was not alone. Many slaves acted independently to free them…

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post
We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses.

One of the quotes you rarely hear #MLKDay
"Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn. The reality of substantial investment to assist Negroes into the twentieth century, adjusting to Negro neighbors and genuine school integration, is still a nightmare for all too many white Americans...These are the deepest causes tor contemporary abrasions between the races. Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook. He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Where Do We Go From Here” (1967)
