When I was a BBC freelance presenter, this is the kind of status I’d worry would lead to a phone call and a sense I was betraying the corporation. “lack of coverage of the hunger strikers & their requests is yet another deeply disturbing picture of the status quo”

Who are the Palestine Action hunger strikers?
Four activists from the proscribed Palestine Action group in the UK are still on hunger strikes in prison.

Imo the most dangerous part of the article:
"It is also selling a customer database of historical ticket sales."
Consider the impact on LGBTQ+ people who:
- Are stuck in the closet for safety
- Don't want to be forced out of the closet
- Have stalkers
etc.
Very very risky... 😬

I'm in my early 30s; when I was a kid all the grown ups seemed to sneer and assume absolutely all information from the internet couldn't be trusted.
Now a lot of those same people just seem to believe everything.
It's honestly infuriating.

If I had one Christmas wish it would be that cis people see trans people as their brothers and sisters, children and parents. They could be any of us, they are all of us.
I’m an unremarkable person. A history of successes and failures behind me. I’m flawed. But I love all my children. All of them.

David Walliams' reputation was an open secret, junior staff were told to meet him in pairs & never visit his home, yet HarperCollins only dropped him when a Telegraph investigation came out. The problem is not just him. HarperCollins knowingly promoted & funded a guy sexually harassing junior staff.

Everybody knew, like *everybody*, so people in a position of responsibility knowingly put women in that position and they should be held to account too.
Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.

The UK medical establishment and NHS especially suffer from exceptionalism and secrecy and xenophobia. The profession has a power trip problem and the NHS has misogyny, racism, and transphobia problems. Gotv ministers exceed their powers and meddle. Levy is one big distraction from this.

do cis people understand why they're fixated on us like this? it's not just because we're easy targets. there are two answers to the deep seated gender anxiety that exists around the world. one is to jump out of the plane: to leave our chains behind and build a world where it means whatever we want.

It's hard to determine whether the blame lies more with trans advocacy abandoning any and all radicalism while trying to find a palatable message for a cissexist society married to sex-essentialism, or with cis people's inherent discomfort with sex being mutable.

It’s not vague to help us, it’s intentionally vague to give politicians the ability to fill the gaps with whatever terrible things politicians want to do to trans healthcare.
We’ve seen this from all recent governments, yet desperate people are understandably falling for it again.

It is a sign of how fundamentally abused and traumatised trans communities are in the UK that many folks are responding to Levy with relief and cautious welcome.
It could have been a lot worse.
But it fundamentally fails to deliver meaningful improvements to trans healthcare. 1/4

It's frustrating how Levy correctly identifies so many issues but can't address the obvious solution right in front of it (desegregation) and instead pays Cass-like lip service to areas that will be used to gatekeep *MORE* because the UK *MUST* hold power over the tr*nnies at every turn apparently.

This isn't about fixing wait times or improving care. It's about systematizing gatekeeping while patients wait half a decade. It's medical conversion therapy with bureaucratic efficiency.

The report was instituted in bad faith. It will be written in bad faith, w positive recommendations that will not be implemented coupled w mild-sounding critiques that will be bent into whatever shape is politically useful to those hostile to trans lives.
Ultimately it will lead to worse/less care.
