#UK #Transrights I'm taking a closer look at some of the registered search protocols and quite frankly, it is a mountain to climb. Here's a quick example: A systematic review from Chili...from submission to peer review in barely 2 weeks. Feedback another 2 weeks and then 3 months to publish.

#NHS #UK #TransRights I know it's conservatives and reform UK who are being blamed for having all gender affirming care stopped in Wales, but let's be clear that they are just being used to distract from the fact that it's the oversight board that has been working towards this for over 6 months.

#UK #TransRights When it's quiet, it's usually not good news. Which is proven time and again. Today is no different. So, here's the bombshell: Since November, the NHS has been working to merge the CYP gender services with the adults in one overarching Oversight and Review Board.

#UK #EHRC #TransRights The EHRC are running a public consultation which concerns harrassment of trans kids in schools. It opens the door wide by exempting gender reassignment as one of 3 protected charactestics being exempt, preventing harassment claims being brought against schools.

Access to sports are about social belonging much more than they are about achievement. The focus in these discussions is often limited to top competitor level, to make an argument for exclusion, but overlook you lose grassroots access in the process. So yes, it is important to defend having access.

#UK #Politics #Misinformation Personally, I am of the opinion that Badenoch should be sanctioned for spreading such blatant misinformation. She is ill informed about medical trials and makes a claim about infertility which has already been proven false.
