(Not like comparing these things is a worthwhile endeavour nor particularly meaningful. The private thing is a big deal, from my understanding there's only a few private providers in Ireland, whereas you're spoiled a /bit/ for choice at least in London.)

I think the waiting list for the NGS (Ireland) is more than 4 years in reality.

At least comparing my own experience (London GIC) with that of NGS users, I think Ireland's actually worse than us.

The UK also has a massive private ecosystem for trans care which I don't think Ireland does.

I know it’s the right-whinge playbook, but it sickens me to my stomach every time one of these bigots plays the victim.

“It is oppression, not allowing us to opress people we don’t like”

We will see how resolute the Greens are in this case when the rubber actually meets the road.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

If I had a penny every time in my life I read of a report that found the Met to be institutionally racist

Whether it's TV, post, or online Ofcom fail at every. single. thing. they're asked by the public to do. Ofcom is not fit for purpose, sack them all.

“Nooooo! You can’t be some dorky conventional presenting lady who looks like a freakishly tall nerdy librarian or academic! You have to shatter the binary, overthrow capitalism, and attack and dethrone God!”

I have no idea how to do that and it sounds like too much pressure and a lot of work.

As a trans woman, I’m voting expressly against Mothin. He says to judge him on his actions and not pledges, but his actions are merely just virtue signals of “trans people are oppressed” — no views around what action is needed. At least Adrian is honest that he’s a transphobe.

One can show solidarity and be pro-liberation while still being opposed to religion, just as you can show solidarity with the global south while still opposing the homophobia and sexism common in those countries.

Ofcom is not fit for purpose.

Love for all the important work you do GLP.

The petition makes no reference to the ID restrictions, even if that’s what caused a spike of signatures. The petition talks about a real problem which is sites will rather shut down or block the UK than comply, because complying is difficult and the consequences are onerous.

Mr Khan: show your true flag: declare London a Sanctuary city and ban the Gender Critical Ideology Movement in the City as the fascist body that it is. Distance yourself from a Government hell-bent on remaining in the culture wars for the foreseeable future, and cosying-up to hate on a daily basis.

have there been any developments? has he came out of his cave yet? im honestly not sure what there really is to do (aside from allowing civil or criminal processes to follow their path, but the palace has nothing to with that) other than strip his titles and keep him out of the public eye

Going to use this as an opportunity to plug this petition. The so-called OSA is just death to privacy and a boost for big tech (small tech can’t comply with the demands of Ofcom, who aren’t fit for purpose)

Uhhh… all the major UK parties (Lab, Con, LD, Grn) aside from Reform are unincorporated associations at the top-level, with (usually) CLGs held in trust on behalf of the association
