So disrespectful that people read the leaked budget. The effects shots weren't even done yet, and no music. So unfair to the creatives who put it together.

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

It feels worth mentioning that Graham Linehan’s harassment literally continued in the courtroom, as he repeatedly misgendered Sophia, and referred to her as “Tarquin”, a fictional deadname he made up for her as part of his harassment campaign. The judge was complicit in this harassment happening.
I wonder if I spent all day, every day, for years, calling Graham Linehan - or the judge - a nonce and then, when I saw him in the street screamed it in his face and smashed his phone, would a judge find I had done no harassing?
And that's not even factoring in the age of his victim

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

@ruthcadbury.bsky.social would much appreciate this...
Also any MPs who want their claims to give a shit about trans people to be taken seriously, you could do worse than to stand up in Parliament and directly ask the government about this.
Any journos or other people with access to streeting
Ask him why he thinks it's ok to continue asking a group who think blocking childline access, refusing rape crisis counselling, putting chilli sauce in make up and promoting DIY conversion therapy guides for their thoughts on trans healthcare.

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social is a transphobic piece of shit. Just look at the wording of that tweet, build evidence to support the ban on prescribing puberty blockers means the trial is biased and searching for a conclusion that has already been reached.
Even Hilary Cass - who disgracefully called parents terrified that their trans kids would take their own lives if they were denied healthcare "shroud wavers" - didn't go so far as to call for a ban on puberty blockers.
