An important insight into the NHS and trans healthcare from a GP. Well worth 20 minutes of your time.
Please share this as much as possible. They are threatening to access the records without consent, force the children to the gender clinics, and stop their hormones, with threats of police and social services if you refuse. youtu.be/Rw3hkic9Lzw?...

Waiting to be served yesterday, a man approaches the queue and sees someone he knows. "One in, one out," he says. She nods and replies, "One in, one out."
Make of that what you will.

It’s essential right now to keep raising trans issues. With the likely lull while the EHRC considers the consultation responses & produces guidance, this can help keep us in the spotlight, & positively.

It's International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - and just 3 days ago it was revealed that the UK is now one of the more difficult places in Europe to live as an LGBTQIA+ person. A sobering reminder that our rights can never be taken for granted. #IDAHOBIT2025

For this year's #IDAHOBIT the theme is the power of communities.
In the wake of recent attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights, it is more important than ever to stand together as a community.

Met my MP last week. Mainly very positive from a name not on the usual list of allies. They ask for mutual confidentiality so will respect that, so no names. Thread about what they said + own thoughts.

That was surely the most racist speech given by a senior Labour politician in my lifetime... "we risk becoming an island of strangers"... so blatantly xenophobic that you can't even call it veiled. Awful, just awful

You mentioned that the EHRC consultation period for trans people is, shockingly, only 2 weeks. In contrast, Baroness Falkner wrote to DWP in 2023 to ask them to extend an 8-week consultation period because it was 'insufficient for disabled people/ organisations to respond meaningfully'.

A 24-hour rollercoaster of emotions…
Following an 18-month fight for continuing trans healthcare after returning to the UK, I finally get the prescription for hormones from my GP.
The next day, the supreme court shafts the trans community.

My MP responded to my letter about the under-18s puberty blockers ban, basically parroting Streeting and Cass. I’m replying and can shred the arguments, no problems. But, it’s just venting, so isn’t productive.
I’m stuck: what can I actually ask the MP to do that’d be practical re the PB ban?

As I now understand it, the difference between US and UK politics is that our outgoing prime ministers hand out peerages to friends and family and outgoing American presidents give them pardons.
