This. It is not for the law to define a person's sexuality.

Matilda Fitzmaurice @matildaf.bsky.social · Apr 22

The SC ruling takes it upon itself to stipulate that a 'lesbian' “must be a [AFAB] female who is sexually oriented towards (or attracted to) [AFAB] females”. So if you don't have sex, you cannot call yourself a lesbian? No court has any business policing anyone's identity or relationship.

In Chapter 19, Death & Dying, Dunja Begovic, Yakubu Salifu, and Sheila Payne consider the ethico-legal challenges in palliative care noting that the focus is often on right to die, rather than rights to quality of life care. They also explore global inequalities in palliative care 🌍
