My bathroom mural is done. Ever since I was 17 & my parents made me change my Winnie the Pooh wallpaper I've dreamed of having him on my wall again. At 40 that dream became real. He has been a special interest my entire life. Embrace the #whimsy! #AutisticTherapist #Autism

Mural on bathroom wall. 4 Winnie the pooh characters in shadow approach a cave. Tigger as a wild mage, Pooh as a fighter, Piglet as a Rogue and Eeyore as a Ranger. In the cave is a sleeping friendly dragon and 2 cats. A Black cat sleeping by a pile of treasure and a white cat asleep on the dragon.

First outdoor swim of the season today at Henleaze lake in #Bristol. Was a wonderful swim in the rain. I hate getting into the lake but once in it feels so good. It really boosts my mood and I miss it over the winter months. Helps with my pain levels too. #OutdoorSwimming #ColdSwimming #Disability

Wtaf?! The interim guidance has no legal standing. It's not statutory, they didn't have to do this. This is a choice by the uni. #TransRights #Trans #EHRC

Screenshot of policy from the university of Warwick.

"Trans people may use facilities – such as toilets and changing rooms – that are (1) identified as those for the trans-person’s sex assigned at birth, or (2) that are identified as gender neutral. Trans people may not use single sex spaces identified as being for the gender that is not their sex assigned at birth. .
The University has a Provision of Gendered and Gender Neutral Toilet Facilities Policy (PDF) in place to ensure all new builds and major refurbs include facilities suitable for all gender identities where possible. All single occupancy toilets have been redesignated to ‘toilet’ and the University are working towards ensuring all buildings have gender toilet facilities available. A full directory of all gender toilet locations can be found here."

Happy #Caturday. My cat loves to hold hands when she is lounging around, especially at bed time. She will move her paw around till she finds skin to touch or till you hold her paw in your hand. She loves a gentle toe bean massage too. I'm lucky to have such a snugglebug. #CatsOfBlueSky #CatsOfSky

"United we stand, divided we fall." We are all connected, white supremacy and patriarchal systems of power want these dominos to topple. This is the society we live in. This is why therapy is inherently political. #counsellorsconnect #therapistsky

Political cartoon. Many different people are all working together to hold up a domino that is tipping backwards labeled trans rights. Behind them are a series of dominos standing straight up labeled “gay rights. Freedom of expression."

"Free speech. Democracy."
"Freedom of religion. Modernity.”
People from behind those dominoes are heading towards the front to help hold up the trans rights domino.
