Ms #AbigailThorn said "the #NHS doesn't treat transgender people, it exists to control them". It has gotten blatant and nakedly obviously uncaring. In tune with current & prior Conservative's government policy positioning on Transgender people & notably respect as regards self determination. #SelfID

Hate to say it but you are probably right. I actually became a supporter of private healthcare because of this debacle. Imagine turning someone who has a wide mix of socialist views against public healthcare.

Looking at some of my posts is rough especially with my feelings after a month of simmering resentment over the NHS Wales debacle Sometimes, whats necessary is uncivilised. Often whats uncivilised is violent. I dont like violence, the hatred it breeds is what I fight against. But if I must I will

This is gross negligence and appalling cruelty by NHS Wales. Those responsible should be punished for this - but, of course, it’s only trans people affected. Shocking!

NHS Wales’ Joint Commissioning Committee said it had to suddenly stop trans surgeries for an urgent investigation. Several weeks later and it still hasn’t even started investigating yet. Enough’s enough, it’s time to tell the JCC: give us back our healthcare. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/09...

'...it’s not that public opinion shifted, it’s that billionaires started pumping out negative propaganda against trans people.' That's the key. Telling bigots that they're heroes for being shitty to people who don't need any more shit in their lives was the game-changer.

Unreported even in much of the queer media, this year's Pride saw more brutal police crackdowns on community celebrations. Even in "safe" cities. But, @thefreeradical.org writes, it also saw a shift from whitewashed corporate events to the kind of defiance that built Pride in the first place.

The British public thinks the Cass Review is not pseudoscience, it thinks puberty-blockers are dangerous and doesn’t realise almost all trans children become trans adults. In part it believes these things because of the failings of The Guardian.

The new Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance comes into force in England on 1 September 2026. We are concerned about the impact it could have on trans and non-binary pupils and the ability of schools to provide genuinely inclusive environments. 2/4
This image has a pink and blue background. There is an illustration of a pink megaphone. The white and black text reads:

Ways you can take action:

1. Respond to the consultation - If you work in Schools in England, Wales or Scotland, you have until the 30th September at 11:59pm to respond to the EHRC technical guidance for Schools.

2. Explore and share inclusive resources - Learn more by reading the guidance, model policies and practical resources created by organisations including TNB Education, GIRES and Pride in Education.

3. Write to your MP - You can express concerns about the impact on trans and non-binary young people to your MP.

4. Share the campaign - Spread the campaign far and wide with others by using the hashtag #SupportiveSchools.

Reminder for all watching the Labour party go "well, we have to enforce segregation of trans people, the law's the law" The UK is not the USA. Parliament is sovereign and Labour have a thumping big majority; they could, trivially, amend the equality act to end this. They are choosing not to.

Something I have learnt in my early adulthood is to pick your battles, and more importantly to not fight alone. You can't boycott everything at once. You can't fight every rights battle at once. Butbtogether we can. The people as a group can. Organisation through unions and communities can do it. 1/
