After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false.

New French guidelines show doctors overwhelmingly support gender-affirming care - LGBTQ Nation

Pro-EU starter pack for anyone interested
Good morning all! ☕️
This morning, I have a request.
I’m excited about the pro-EU community rebuilding on Bluesky with so much energy happening here. It’s *perfect* for what we need to be doing in 2025.
Therefore, could you please follow these local pro-EU groups
…and yes, I will make a list.

According to Kemi Badenoch, giving rail workers a slightly below inflation pay rise is "a fraud on the British people" and is "a bung".

Things are looking very unstable in France right now!
This is good by @jonhenley.bsky.social. But I disagree with this point
On my reading France has less than 1 month to pass an emergency law rolling over the 2024 budget as a stopgap until a 2025 budget is passed. That legislation *cannot* be proposed by a caretaker Govt—only a Govt with full powers

Today is International Men’s Day.
Suicide disproportionately affects men and I believe that is largely because many men feel they can’t talk about and discuss their feelings with people close to them in their lives.
If we can change this culture, we could save so many men.
