“Hidden” if you’ve ignored every other scandal, act of violence, whistle blown. Horrific but sadly not “shocking” as Starmer says - it’s exactly what you’d expect based on recent evidence. Let’s see how long it takes govt and police to forget and move on this time www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I feel like this hasn’t been said loudly enough: if you want to protest and do so at the place of residence of people with no power or influence, that isn’t a protest. It’s intimidation and harassment, and inherently violent

Reckon we’re around two days from JK Rowling insisting she can’t be anti-asexual because of the existence of the asexual character, David Virgincunt, a third year Hufflepuff student.

“In 2023 in the UK, there were 6,522 stories relating to trans+ people in mainstream titles. That's almost 18 stories a day with a majority having negative framing.” Why are brands still advertising on these platforms??? www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/time...

The project, which asked autistic subjects for their saliva for reasons that definitely have nothing to do with eugenics, honest, announced yesterday that it was closing the doors to its creepy basement lab (probably) after autistics responded with a resounding “ew, stop it.”

In-work benefits are employer subsidies. Make employers pay workers enough to live on. Be honest about employer subsidies and apply your sanctions and regulations to them

Libs: Trans people and allies are biased towards supporting trans kids Trans folk: Yes, so we look objectively at the research as we want trans kids to get safe, effective treatment Libs: Can’t listen to you then. We’ll listen to people who want trans folk not to exist - they say they’re not biased

Their concern is only for suicides that could directly be linked to the ban - so those that immediately follow prohibitive change. They don’t give a shit about those pushed to suicide 20 years later as a direct result of permanent physical changes caused now. Harder to prove a causal link you see

A double-blind study isn’t just unethical it’s impossible. Puberty blockers are extremely effective for their primary function (suspending puberty). They want trials to study secondary (psychological) impacts but due to the effectiveness of primary function everyone would know who was on a placebo

Glad IUD insertion is mentioned. I know it pales in comparison to many experiences but that agony is so avoidable. Instead, you’re told pain varies from zero to mild. When it’s excruciating you’re treated as ‘abnormal’, so it’s your body’s stupid fault (a common thread) tinyurl.com/MedMisogyny

The report names misogyny as one of the problems but the systemic and cultural issues are much broader, not just in the doc’s office (where a ‘these things are supposed to hurt’ attitude towards pregnancy, periods and related fertility issues prevails) but also in medical research and training

A decade ago I used to worry that the Guardian/Observer would fold and we’d be left without a liberal/left-ish national paper. But I realised years ago that although it’s still there, it’s not been liberal for years. Like the Labour Party, it’s already left us

Just heard from a parent whose daughter’s been struggling to access education, finally given an EHCP and accepted to specialist school. But school won’t let her use the girls’ loos, so she’s unable to attend. Not the 1st time this bigotry has prevented a vulnerable young person from going to school
