First out of hours shifts as an FY1 in O+G at a DGH completed…. It’s never good when the cat 1 alarm goes off whilst you’re already halfway through suturing a uterus from a cat 1 Caesarian.

Live your life so that anti-sex work cops describe your reading room & parlour as a location where “filthy and abominable practices” take place.
In her 1922 autobiography, The Female-Impersonators, June recalled her time spent at Paresis Hall, the hub of the Underworld. Located at what is now 32 Cooper Square near Washington Square Park, Paresis Hall was a nickname patrons dubbed Columbia Hall, a brothel and saloon chock full of sex workers and other members of the city’s queer subculture seeking to connect. Anti-vice investigators described it as a space where “filthy and abominable practices” took place.

While #synod decided my life and relationship is incompatible with Christian discipleship, I graduated as a Doctor after 5 long years of medical school. Turns out queer, trans and disabled Christians can do AWESOME things. #generalsynod

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

My MP didn’t respond to me directly but did raise the issue in Parliament today. Write to your MPs.
I cannot be the only Member to have had dozens of emails from constituents who are dismayed that, under this guidance, the vague, ill-defined and highly subjective term
"discomfort of service users" becomes the litmus test for excluding people from essential services. I heard what the Minister said about associations, but can we be clear whether public spaces will still be able to provide trans-inclusive services? If that is not the case, I feel that this guidance is simply unreasonable, unfair and unworkable.

You know the greatest way to fight transphobia? Be happy. So if you can't do it for yourself right now. Do it out of spite. Live a full life. Pick up that hobby. Join that group. Go on that adventure. One day you'll wake up and realise it's not even an effort anymore. It's just who you've become.

The government was forced to admit the EHRC’s transphobic draft guidance got it wrong, and they’ve had to send it back to the drawing board. But the fight is far from over. They plan to bring an updated version back to parliament in May. So we need to act – fast 👇

It’s been a year since the Supreme Court's decision that accelerated the rollback of trans rights in the UK. It’s been a difficult year, but it’s also been a year of coming together and fighting…

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

It's going to be really easy to get scared today, especially after the year it's been in the UK for trans people. The best thing you can do is to take care of yourself and to check in with others in your life. There are enough brilliant people toothcombing the report, nothing's going to slip by us

BREAKING 🚨 The updated EHRC Code of Practice has now been sent to the Government. The Code is just as bad as we feared. It would mean a mandatory trans bathroom ban, and trans people's exclusion from public life. The impact would be devastating. But politicians still have time to stop this.

All of my (3!) @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social wristbands attached to my hodgepodge crochet lap blanket made from the last bits of yarn from many different projects, all come together for one creation stitched at this year’s festival. Feels quite apt really.

So the government really are just targeting trans people now. The board rejected her appointment because of her obvious bias against trans people & connection to anti-trans organisations. This makes a mockery of the whole idea of the EHRC. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Regulation must not blur the lines between doctors and non-doctors. We’ve written to the GMC following the Leng review 👇 We've also been granted permission to appeal our judicial review case against the GMC. The court says our appeal raises important issues for public safety.
Letter to Dame Carrie McEwan and Charlie Massey (GMC) from Dr Tom Dolphin (BMA chair), on BMA letterhead paper outlining the findings on the Leng review, discuss next steps with Government and offer an opportunity for GMC to acknowledge mistakes.

If you were solely going by the headline, you'd be under the wrong impression that this was a trans nurse that did this. In fact, the trans person at the center of this is a doctor who was harassed by this nurse who constantly spouted racist, transphobic stuff to her colleagues. Way to go BBC.

Welcome to day 2. Today resident doctors across England strike again to show the Government that we’re not backing down until we have a credible offer. Stick Together. Strike Together. Win Together. #PayRestoration
A group of doctors protest, holding signs with messages like "CUTS SO DEEP NOT EVEN A SURGEON CAN FIX IT," "Need a raise STAT before I flatline," and "BREAKING NEWS Passion does not pay bills."

Similarly, young people with mental health conditions applying for PIP. Did we lock up teenagers at a pivotal stage of their lives, keep them in a state of heightened anxiety, and legally remove almost all basic coping mechanisms? Might that have had some affect on their functionality now? Maybe?
