@fawcettsociety.bsky.social Today Dame Millicent Fawcett's statue in Parliament Square, London was defaced by #trans activists.

Fawcett and the Suffragist movement championed and won women's rights under a banner of peaceful, respectful, law abiding, protest and discussion.

@fawcettsociety.bsky.social Today women in the UK won a huge victory as The Supreme Court ruled that woman are defined by biological sex, not "gender identity", under the #EqualityAct 2010.

It is incredible to me that women had to fight again to secure their rights, sports, safety and identity.

⚗️ The marathon medal, that'll be nice. But with beating M.E, the real work was done as I crawled on my belly to the bathroom at the start, not with the shiny medals at the end.

There was just so much evil surrounding the disease M.E.

What kind of professor sends threats to patients? That's an absolutely wicked thing to do.

What kind of doctors choose to leave patients hungry and bullied?

What kind of patients bite, hound and slander people who are trying to help them?

⚗️ #MEcfs patients were bullied by senior activists. What does this mean?
March 10, 2025 at 2:53 PM
If you wish to speak to me about #MEcfs, you will need to address the 9 years of threats from M.E activists. You will need to address David Tuller's public & private aspersions. You will also need to acknowledge my illness, recovery & that I don't believe M.E to be psychological.
March 4, 2025 at 2:12 PM
#MEcfs patients come to me as if I'm trying to sell them something. In reality I took some time out of my recovery to offer help freely.

But now I want to be so clear with M.E patients:

You would have to have shit for brains to think that you can bully your way back to health.

Now. Here's the thing. Over on X I've been gaining closure. I have cut contact with Simon Wessely & have stopped waiting for Tom Kindlon to behave. #MEcfs

I'm going to publish a few of my closing tweets here so that you get the gist of the closure that I have reached with the M.E patient community.

There is a way off the island. If you don't want to know it, OK. My job is simply to ensure that I've offered it to everyone. #MEcfs
March 2, 2025 at 12:25 PM
And on a personal level; I feel @wesselys and @tomkindlon are the individuals most responsible for the stagnation in #MEcfs.
February 28, 2025 at 3:44 PM
It really is time for the #MEcfs community to grow up and accept that @davidtuller1 isn't the friend they thought he was.
February 28, 2025 at 3:37 PM
British medicine and Virology Blog created a wasteland just for #MEcfs patients.
February 21, 2025 at 12:46 PM
⚗️ The tyranny in #MEcfs continues because doctors and activists block feedback from patients.

This is what drives the madness in both systems.
February 17, 2025 at 9:41 AM
⚗️ "If truth is censored, course corrections never happen." This is why medicine and activism continue to fail #MEcfs patients.
February 17, 2025 at 9:21 AM
⚗️ #MEcfs isn't burnout. It isn't being unfit. It isn't in your mind. It is fractured sleep.
February 16, 2025 at 9:45 AM
⚗️ My mistake was to give these abortive fantasy perversions of reality any credence whatsoever. They're both nuts.

Think of it this way: Why is the medicine of #MEcfs not real?

First off the treatments are pretend. They're little more than one would offer to a patient who was unfit. Zero differentiation has taken place.
February 12, 2025 at 8:46 AM
⚗️ Both doctors and patients have told me that they are too scared to talk about #MEcfs in public.

Activism is a blight on M.E patients and science.
February 11, 2025 at 6:13 AM
⚗️ The thing that both #MEcfs medicine and activism have in common is that they are not real.
February 9, 2025 at 9:06 AM
⚗️ In #MEcfs patients remain ill and doctors remain unintelligent because they can't admit bad behaviour.

I don't have a lot of respect for that tbh
February 4, 2025 at 6:27 AM
⚗️ When I couldn't report threats to #MEcfs activists, I thought they were nuts.
February 1, 2025 at 5:20 AM
⚗️ Medicine and activism went out of their way to try to stop me discussing exercise, recovery and threats. #MEcfs

That's a funny old thing isn't it? Almost like they didn't want me to get better. Almost like they don't want you to get better.

⚗️ #MEcfs is perpetuated by activists and doctors dogged attempts to avoid narcissistic injury.
