Did you know that some people are born with just one kidney! We only need one to lead a healthy life so would you consider 'sharing your spare' with someone who needs it more. A living kidney donation is the best current treatment option for most people who need a transplant.

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up.

I’ll add more as I find them.

We know who we are. No court can tell us that our lived experience doesn't matter, no court can tell us that we don't know our own selves. We matter. YOU matter. We are a resilient community & will find ways to thrive in a society that would rather we diminish. Know today that you are seen & loved.

I'm not worried about what trans women do in single sex spaces. I'm worried about what cis men do in broad daylight in any space anywhere.

Listen to our lovely Trustee, Chris, speak about how he donated a kidney to help his uni friend, suffering from PKD, get back to health so that she could continue to be a mum to her daughter for a long time to come.

@nhsbt.bsky.social was able to offer a detailed insight in our webinar.

I reckon cis folks worry about pronouns way more than trans folk do most of the time

Whenever i deliver training that touches the subject, it's always the part cis ppl get fixated on when I'm like...it's nice that you're making an effort but honestly healthcare & legal recognition would be better
