Additionally the 'two cublicles made unisex' example won't play well w/transphobes who want rigid separation at all times. They want their men & women's cubicles & trans ppl be damned.

She's hit the ground running w/an apparent eagerness to piss everyone off.

The slightly perplexing element is Phillipson overriding two select committees to get her appointed & then her instantly pushing for Faulkner's extreme guidance when it would help Phillipson in this moment for her to be slightly more moderate.

I'd rather die than be put myself through the humiliation of being treated as a man when at my most vulnerable.

Consequently I think hospital stays are now out of the question for me. So it's a big concern if I need an operation or something.

It's hospitals that worry me.

Don't want to tempt fate, but not had an issue using a toilet yet.

An awful lot are, particularly older ones.

My mum's 80. She socialises a lot. Basically everyone she knows is voting reform.

They'll be voted in by ppl who won't live long enough to feel the consequences.

significant issues that were raised and discussed, any serious regulator would have ensured that the minutes were detailed and accurate. However an FOI request shows no minutes were taken of this critical meeting. Read the full story below.

Ring them & ask them.

I've just rung them & got to have a 15 minute rant to an acual person about their transphobia. To be fair, she listened to me & didn't cut me off. It's definitely worth calling them.

* Tolerance may involve whipping up prejudice against trans people.

I'm sorry you had to do this.

But you can be proud of retaining your integrity.

Your speaking up for our community is seen & valued.
Thank you for being a decent man 🤎

I hate mine too. Despite the fact I get gendered correctly on the phone no problem.

We're our own worst critics & dysphoria is a bitch.
On top of that thing where you always hate your own voice.

(by "stopping" I ofc mean doing so temporarily)

IIRC he's previously expressed the belief stopping puberty at the point it's 'meant' to proceed is harmful in a way using them for precocious puberty isn't.

His evidence? It just *is*...y'know? Nature & stuff.

They're making their money while pushing their desired hate narrative of the day, what do they care?

Linehan could, by this point, happily watch trans ppl rounded up & sent to concentration camps. So tho you're right...I don't feel sorry for him. He's made his bed...

In the meantime kids denied PBs will continue dying & when/if the UK regains sanity there'll be a lot of appalled looking back on how trans kids' lives were ruined by withholding meds.

And Streeting bears the responsibility.
So either way he's set himself timebombs primed to go off in the future.

But he's engineered a situation whereby the transphobes running the trial are inevitably going to 'discover' blockers don't help trans kids & it's best to force them thru puberty actually = Streeting's transphobic mates will rip him to shreds for 'allowing kids to be experimented on'.

What I don't is understand why he's allowed NHS YP gender services to get stacked w/transphobes then allowed a trial that's going to manufacture 'evidence' blockers were wrong all along.
A time bomb he's set to go off in his own face in a few yrs.
