I appreciate UK schools, FE colleges and universities are on Easter break currently, but if you have supervisory or pastoral responsibility for Trans, non-binary or other LGBQ+ students and are concerned about their welfare after today's ruling, a brief check-in message may be reassuring for them.

Very happy to announce on Friday I passed my PhD viva with minor corrections! 🥳

It’s been an amazing four years at the University of Leicester and I’d like to thank my amazing supervisors for their support, and examiners Andrew Miles and Brian O’Driscoll for a really enjoyable viva!

I’ve had the best few days at Trinity College for VMSG-MDSG where I attended a snowy fieldtrip to Avoca, Co. Wicklow, and presented the final talk of my PhD!

It was also a lovely surprise to win the Runner’s Up Prize for the Best Student Presentation Award! #VMSG_MDSG25

Today I submitted my PhD - and on the same day as my fabulous housemate @mariabmills.bsky.social! 🥳

It’s been a great four years working on the Platreef at Leicester! Looking forward to a relaxing Christmas period and new adventures in 2025! 🎄
