"As of May, 4,730 local children were living in temporary accommodation — an increase of 75% in the past five years. Over half (52%) of these were aged nine and under." [Belfast Telegraph]

This will be Stormont 'just protecting children' as usual.

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

This amazing article from @vic-parsons.bsky.social via @wearequeeraf.com shows the absolute criminal state of trans healthcare in the UK.

Scotland has a 224 year wait for a first appointment. Yes, you read that right.

This was the first test that had many trans people worried the Greens would fold. That they didn't is an excellent sign and a rare show of actual support for trans people from a political party that isn't just empty words.

More of this @zackpolanski.bsky.social ❤️

🚨 NEW | Anti-trans hate group "Green Women's Declaration" have been formally barred from Green Party conference.

The group sought a stall at conference, but their bid was denied by the party. Green leader Zack Polanski recently affirmed the party's support for trans rights.

Thanks to everyone who spoke to me for this piece 💔

Pls know this is not a drill. 10yrs after topping ILGA-Europe LGBTQ+ rights ranking, UK has dropped to 22 place out 49. Lemkin Institute has issued a red flag alert on UK #trans and #intersex rights. goodlawproject.org/the-writing-...

My child ended up with an eating disorder because she refused to eat or drink before or during school because of that fear. Things are drastically worse now. My heart breaks for trans kids in school.

Lovely words from Caroline @alicemydaughter.bsky.social what she really means is we got her drunk in the Maverick 🤣🤣

Caroline Litman @alicemydaughter.bsky.social · 18d

I know one of the parents who started this group. She took me under her wing after Alice died and earlier this year I made my first trip to Belfast to meet her irl. This group will embrace you and your LGBTQIA+ child and hold you fast in the storm. Reach out.

If youre in Northern Ireland and a parent of an LGBTQ+ young person this new group may be of interest / help.

I have just read some very disturbing comments about this, I haven't been on X for a very long time so missed the harm he was inflicting. 🤬

I'm a mammie @imamammie.bsky.social · 27d

Exactly this! My daughter and I had this very conversation last night!!

I'm a mammie @imamammie.bsky.social · 27d

Trans lawyer, used to be very active on x, ran a trans group etc so we were all very surprised to hear they were detransitioning and were now friends with JK etc. this makes more sense

Confirmed true.

It’s a shame our X account was taken down by bigots opposing our free speech, we’d love to show the conversations.
Welcome back, Agent-X
