But remember folks, you should just try and go and have lunch with the people who want you jailed, merrily call you a deviant and want to publish your photos online as a pervert and that will make it all fine and dandy

When did it become so normalised to describe often far right thugs attacking people as "scuffles" but make out anyone just trying to seek safety is a threat to national security?

I wish more reporting on private ADHD/autism assessment providers mentioned that many NHS pathways - as in, the default local not-Right-To-Choose ones - are outsourced to those same providers. If there are quality concerns, the Government should be investing in high-quality NHS pathways.

Are you: - a trans woman or a non-binary person with a prostate? - aged 40+? - on oestrogen and/or post-op for bottom surgery? - based in the UK? The TransPRIDE study invites you to participate in research to inform better trans-inclusive prostate care! transpridestudy.org.uk

Recruitment poster with text that reads as follows. Trans or non-binary?
Join us in research led by and for trans people to improve our healthcare.

TransPRIDE (Trans & non-binary Prostate specific antigen Reference Interval
DEtermination) is a research study to help find the normal levels of the PSA blood test in trans women and non-binary people with prostates.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a blood test that helps detect prostate
problems including cancer.

It is lowered by gender-affirming hormones and surgeries but we do not
know the expected normal levels for trans women and non-binary people.

Knowing the normal PSA blood test level will help doctors to find and treat prostate cancer more quickly in this population.

We are looking for 500 trans women and non-binary people aged 40+ who have been on feminising hormone therapy for at least 3 months, and/or had any kind of bottom surgery, to take part.

Participation involves a blood test for PSA and hormone levels, and short
questionnaires.

Blood test results will be returned, and participants are given a £25 gift
voucher for their time.

For more information visit: transpridestudy.org.uk
Or contact: bartsctu-transpride-study@qmul.ac.uk

'Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps' is literally impossible and that was the point of the original saying. If the person you are disagreeing with wants you to do something that is impossible, there is no compromising with that. Some ideas are not worthy of respect or entertaining.

Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now? Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok

Some prick from Twitter exactly 5 years ago saying "I do hope in five years when this has been consigned to the rubbish heap that your apology to the legions of mutilated 20somethings will be fulsome and abject, Katy. You're going to have a LOT of explaining to do."

It’s not a crime. You will face no legal consequences. This does not mean that you will face no social consequences. The other people that worked on HP stuff have already been paid prior to release. That is a justification that does not work.

The lesson from the Brazilian presidential primary is that just jailing the leader doesn’t dismantle the movement. Especially if the leader has children already ready to assume the place of the leader. You have to kill the entire Hydra, not just jail one head. This is the lesson for everyone.

"We ask women why they don't come forward when sexually assaulted. It's because we live in a world where an abuser can become president.

Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor.

My GP recommends swimming for my back. I want to go. There are 2 communal changing rooms. Labour say I should use the mens. I am a visibly female woman with a GRC. If I use the mens there's a serious risk of me being confronted and worse. So where do I go? I don't. I'm segregated from society.

Our Labour government is effectively making political refugees of trans ppl and their families who flee and seek safety overseas. It’s shameful.

I’m considering leaving the UK also. I don’t want to. I’m a Londoner through & through. Burnham is by far the most transphobic PM ever. Transphobia is a flagship Labour policy. It’s also a political litmus test for how it will treat minorities & capitulate to oligarch media. A test it has failed.

What happened to “I can’t do anything as I’m sticking to the Manifesto”? Funny how they can do all the things that make people’s lives worse, even though they aren’t in the manifeso, but doing anything that would help “Sorry, impossible as it’s not in the manifesto”
