It’s #TransDayofRemembrance, a day where we mourn and honor the people who have been murdered just for being trans. Today is also a day where we recognize that, despite threats of violence and discrimination, the trans community still continues to thrive.

It is nearly two years on since Harley Bruce, Steven Kapp and I published about gender identity healthcare access for Autistic people. I take this opportunity to reflect on what we learnt and what (if anything) has changed.
Enhancing Accessibility in Gender Identity Services
Autistic and neurodivergent individuals face significant barriers in accessing gender-affirming healthcare, as revealed by research on their experiences. Discrimination occurs when disclosing autism, leading to feelings of frustration and alienation. Accessibility issues further complicate care, with non-binary experiences often overlooked. A call for continuous learning and empathy in healthcare is essential for improvement.

There really aren't that many Halloween songs, are there...Zombie by The Cranberries is often discussed as one that always ends up on playlists despite very much not being about Halloween but you also often get stuff like Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf or any song with Devil in the title
