Since the Hormuz crisis, EU gas prices are up 132% and oil 52%. Electricity is up 44%, after falling through spring. Every boiler, car and furnace that switches to electricity is less exposed to the energy crisis. Electrification is increasingly energy security.

'It will go down in history as the Starmer government’s shame.' Have they updated this to reflect the Burnham gov's implementation of segregation and exclusion or not that it's their own party & gov implementing the biggest rights roll-back ever?

I still find it remarkable that #renewable #wind energy alone now increasingly fulfills more than 100% of UK #electricity demand, with so much more capacity in the pipeline. Every new turbine commissioned reduces our dependency on expensive & unreliable gas supplies & lowers wholesale prices

Healthcare should be there when you need it. No exceptions. Trans people deserve the same dignity, respect and access to care as everyone else.
Quote graphic. Headline reads: “When trust in healthcare is broken.”

Quote from Anthony Slaughter, Leader of the Wales Green Party:

“People had surgeries cancelled at the 11th hour, with no explanation or option to reschedule. These are people who had spent years preparing, both physically and mentally, for this life-affirming surgery.

In my own way, I was able to relate to that agonising wait. In the days leading up to planned surgery over recess, I underwent scheduled and serious surgery. You trust the system around you. For some, that trust has been broken.

What is important is that the voices and experiences of the trans community are amplified and understood. Gender-affirming healthcare saves lives. What this community needs now more than ever is decisive action, proof that their government will stand up for them and take the lead.”

Are you Autistic and transgender/nonbinary? Have you ever had an eating disorder? If so - researchers from the University of Edinburgh are running an online survey about your experiences. For more information or to take part: tinyurl.com/57zd65rx
New Research Project:
Getting Better From An Eating Disorder: Autistic Trans/Nonbinary Voices

If you are interested in taking part, the survey link can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/57zd65rx 

Who can take part? Autistic and trans/nonbinary adults, based in the UK, who have had an eating disorder in the past. 

What would taking part involve? You would fill in an online survey (mainly with free-text boxes) about your experiences of getting better from an eating disorder and your opinions on the word ‘recovery’ as applied to eating disorders. The survey should take about 30 – 45 minutes. You can choose to enter a prize draw, with winners getting £50 or £100. 

This study has been designed and led by an Autistic trans researcher and a Lived Experience Advisory Group. It has ethical approval from the School of Health in Social Science at the University of Edinburgh. If you have any questions, you can contact the lead researcher, Luka White, at L.C.J.White@sms.ed.ac.uk

Dear Alyson Thomas,
Re: Pause of gender-affirming surgeries in Wales
We are writing jointly as organisations representing and supporting trans people and the wider LGBTQ+ community in Wales, regarding the decision made by the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee to pause referrals for gender-affirming surgeries through the Welsh Gender Service.
We welcome Llais's public statement recognising the significant impact this decision has on trans people across Wales. Gender-affirming surgeries are safe and effective, backed by substantial clinical evidence. For many, gender-affirming surgery is a lifesaving procedure needed to live a normal and fulfilling life.
There has never been a national prohibition of a surgical procedure without clear evidence of harm before now. In such extraordinary circumstances, we believe the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee should have undertaken substantial patient consultation before reaching any decision.
We are calling on Llais as the Citizen Body for Health and Social Care to request an urgent meeting with the Joint Commissioning Committee and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board to:
• Raise a formal issue with the Joint Commissioning Committee regarding its decision to pause surgeries and its impacts on patient safety.
• Request that Joint Commissioning Committee agree to surgeries resuming whilst the investigation takes place
We also request that Llais works with us to advocate for a formal investigation into the decision making processes that led up to this current situation.• • Cwiar
Cymru
We urge Llais to use every avenue available to advocate for trans patients and hold
NHS Wales to account.
We look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,

Unlike Section 28, these rules are spread across a myriad of documents, which will make it harder for LGBTQIA+ groups to fight to overturn their harmful impacts Read our full analysis 👇
Section 28 2.0 begins
Children in England are back at school, in a new era of strict rules on what teachers can say about LGBTQIA+ identities.
Schools have begun implementing guidance and curricula which require them to segregate Trans+ pupils, while teachers are banned from “encouraging” pupils from ‘questioning their gender’. Many view the new rules as directly parallel to Section 28, the now-revoked law that banned schools and local authorities from “promoting” gay identities until 2003.
