Trans academic - Current research interests are trans aging, queer menopause, and trans dementia. Views are my own. drnatthorne.co.uk Never debated with a GC on BlueSky, never will. You are not worth my time, sorry.

Working from home is 90% trying to ignore my dog's 'take me for a walk' eyes, and 10% walking the dog.

I am quite glad the Royal family are no longer the people who dictate fashion - Grey tracksuits do not suit me.

An important takeaway – the High Court has made clear that the Code of Practice has gotten the law wrong. It will need to be rejected by the Minister.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Invading neighbouring countries, tick. Trying to control the media, tick. Oppressing minorities, tick. Ruling by violence and fear, tick. My 'how close are the USA to 1930s Germany' bingo card is pretty much complete.

Pretty devastated to see the WI have followed on from the Guides. Both of these institutions have been trailblazers and vital pillars of rural life when I was growing up.

Today is a day to remember, to learn and to celebrate all those whose lives have been touched by AIDS. The trans community has been heavily effected by this illness over the years and at NCTH, we especially remember the trans people we have lost to this illness. x

Interesting debate at Queer Britain last night about the similarities and differences between transphobia and homophobia. Was somewhat de-railed by gender critical people wanting to debate biology but I'm used to that!

So it seems as though I am permanently a He in my mum's care home now according to the residents, which is fine as it is one of my pronouns anyway. I'm interested to research other experience of trans people who have family members with dementia and what they experience.

Not saying we are all delightfully odd where we work, but somehow in a conversation I invented an imaginary clinic cat called Tiddles and one of the nurses just opened a door to let the imaginary cat through.

I share the deep disappointment in today's Supreme Court ruling, and the concerns about what this will mean for trans women going forward. Today and every day, I stand in unwavering solidarity with the trans community. We must never stop fighting for trans rights.

So we have a sculpture of a Beekeeper in Beeston and somebody has made a temporary sculpture next to it as an homage to the random peeled bananas which appear in a local street once a month. Did nobody think to warn me that this town is in another dimension of reality.

Biological Sex is chromosomes, hormones, gametes, gonads, a whole load of epigenetic stuff, various organs like breasts etc The only reason transphobes go on and on about chromosomes is because they are the only part you can't change with transition, not because they're important. They aren't
