A: Farage was younger with Hitler? And with whom did he have a relationship?
B: he won’t speak to the BBC again until it apologises for platforming him incessantly and not challenging his views? We can hope!

Literally everyone know og nazis burnt books. But nobody seems to know what those books were about! I mean didn’t know until I was well into my adulthood & only because I realised I was queer myself & found out about it on my own. The state doesn’t want ppl to know so they can keep on attacking us.

The Cass Review is the worst kind of pseudoscience & has at least 13 peer-reviewed critiques of it (all ignored by mainstream media).
Streeting now wants a Cass Review for Autism, ADHD, etc.
I have characterised these as “contrived authority” strategies (referring to the work of Max Weber)

Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

And here are those steps. Where do you think multiple minority groups are on this journey and what would it take to hop from this stage to the next? In the UK, a Reform win would certainly accelerate things for many. And let's be clear, increased rates of suicide are included in their aims.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.
It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.
And it costs lives.

As Bridget Phillipson weighs new ‘single-sex space’ guidance, the debate reduces trans lives to a policy dilemma. This is an evasion of moral responsibility, writes columnist Aimee Walsh
