Damn. Lets dither over stupid shit when we could be treating someone. I don't think this is really failure of policy, but it sure is now.

This is what people still don’t understand - trans adults and kids are already dying due to this Labour governments policies. We need to make it clear to cis people that it’s not “just a toilet and sports ban”. It’s a genocide already happening in plain sight and in the uk right now.

i'd recommend people read the response from an LGBTQ+ cancer charity to last year's EHRC proposed guidance - been thinking a lot about this particular section ever since i first read it (full response here outpatients.org.uk/2025/06/26/e...)
Screenshot of article reading: 
"The suggestion that transgender people should only be accommodated in side rooms is unfeasible. As anyone in healthcare knows, available side rooms are a rare commodity. If their use was mandated for all transgender patients it would largely be unenforceable. It is necessary to consider the broad variety of people who require side rooms and their availability across the NHS. As per NHS Estates documents, increased floor area, capital cost, management, and staffing issues also need to be considered. If a redrafted single-sex accommodation policy aligns with the EHRC’s Code of Practice, we feel that it could leave transgender people without reliable accommodation options, putting their clinical outcomes at risk."Quote from article
'“Let us take the example of Joelle, a trans woman who died of an eminently treatable cancer after waiting for eight days on a general ward, because clinicians could not agree whether she should be placed on a men’s ward or a women’s ward. The delay in treatment cost her her life.”

-Dr Roz Savage, MP'

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together. That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election. We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

Okay I have the most insane story from the beer garden yesterday. We are open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and yesterday we were busy from minute one. It was finally starting to slow down a little at 6:00 when a big airport shuttle type van pulled in to our tiny parking area.

4-panel Comic "Women in Science" by War and Peas. 1. Man in ancient clothes and wig enters the room. He says, "I've returned from my trip to the future!" 2. "Women are doing science!" 3. Another man answers, "But there's still structural inequality and sexism making it difficult for them?" 4. "YES!" "Thank God!"

Fun fact: the time it takes us to create one comic is roughly the same as a transatlantic flight. Except there are no free drinks, no movies and the turbulence is emotional. If you've ever wished you could buy us that airplane tomato juice: Patreon is basically that, but better.

I miss her. It's only been a few months. I love our other cats - but she was so special. My nap buddy. The fierce protector of the OH. She talked to us and we understood. She was so darn intelligent. The other cats have tried but they don't quite reach the bar, bless their paws.
