To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community
Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

8/ Despite the ruling, the legal argument is not finished and the human cost of such a ban or its horrific effects on a minority community must not be overlooked. In the next couple of days we’ll put together a brief guide on key points you might make. We fight on.

Many TACTT members joined the tens of thousands of people across the country today protesting the recent supreme court ruling. Incredible to see these numbers at such short notice!

We are devastated and enraged by yesterday's supreme court ruling which ruled that trans women are not included in the definition of women in the Equality Act.

My favorite myth is the lung size in trans women gives them a blanket advantage. Taller individuals naturally have larger lungs on average) & lung size is not a good predictor of sport performance (Hopkins et al., 2018; Degens et al., 2019; Åstrand et al., 1964).

Fact ~ no studies exist which shows trans women can run or swim faster, jump higher, or throw farther than cis women athletes. You have to demonstrate that before excluding” transgender athletes!!!!!

Today I’m editing a chapter on aromanticism. So I’m currently scrolling an 1850s German document (a language I am NOT proficient in) to try and find a reference for asexuality (for context, not conflation)!

Always important to remember psychology has always been, and continues to be, as much about regulation and disciplinary power as healing.

I’ve spent my day editing chapter authors’ submissions for a book. The last chapter of the day was detransitioning, pointing out just how little we know, &how little support there is. Research tends to suggest it’s rarely about being not being trans, & more to do with not feeling ok to be ourselves

This person believes that puberty blockers are "sterilizing" and "mutilating". That's the kind of script they are parroting.

More thoughts: This is why it’s essential, IMO, for us to: *Do our Self as the Therapist work - through supervision, consultation, and therapy *Have ongoing peer support *Address our self-esteem & confidence *Have regular practices to care for ourselves, including boundaries *Take breaks!

I was diagnosed with HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died but I was told, with the new drugs available, I could expect to live another 20 years. That was 27 years ago. Honour those we lost. Celebrate that we can now treat and prevent HIV. Make HIV stigma history. #WorldAIDSDay
Me aged 30. I was in LA and dressed up to go to a posh do (hired tux). My hair is slicked back and, in black and white under bright Californian sun, my skin looks impeccable. I’m looking directly into the camera with a closed mouth smile. I look like a movie star. Selfie. I’ve got very freshly cut hair and I’m looking directly at the camera with a similar smile. I’m wearing a vest. My lines are deeper, my eyes heavier, but I’m still in pretty good shape for a 57 year old.

Janey Godley’s funeral service has been posted on YouTube. In her eulogy it’s mentioned several times how she stood up for trans people (and was hounded for it - even having to seek refuge in a church to escape a ‘gender critical’ transphobe!) Watch ➡️ www.youtube.com/live/Ok04Gq4...
YouTube transcript:
Friend, defender of the vulnerable, advocate for LGBT people, champion of God’s beloved trans community, fearless critic of tyrants, hypocrites and abusers…”YouTube transcript:

“I remembered a Sunday morning a few weeks before, when I had smuggled her through this church to get her away from someone who was giving her grief in the street outside over her support for the trans community.”

If someone is very withdrawn, whether due to psychosis, shutdown, depression or trauma, the best approach is to neither intrude nor disappear but to gently and occasionally make your potential presence known, ‘without memory or desire,’ to inappropriately quote Bion.
