I’ve written a new book! It’s called Jackie Trolling and the Evil Human Rights Commission, and it’s out now only at sarahsavage.ink
It’s a dark, rhyming fairytale with characters like Jackie Trolling, Sir Queer Harmer, Waz Shitting and Doctor Killory Hass.

QueerAF asked me what I thought about the Levy Review.
![“Faced with the sinking Titanic of trans healthcare in England, the Levy Review suggests we rearrange the deckchairs,” Dr Ruth Pearce, a transgender health expert and Senior Lecturer in Community Development at the University of Glasgow, tells QueerAF. “Levy's report offers a limited, technocratic response to the ongoing crisis, recommending a range of bureaucratic measures to improve the efficiency of the current system.”
Trans+ researcher Dr Cal Horton, of Oxford Brookes University, concurs: “[The review] fundamentally fails to deliver meaningful improvements to trans healthcare”.
“At its heart, it maintains and reinforces a system built on clinical control of and power over trans communities,” Dr Horton said. “There is no effort to improve accountability. No recognition of institutional transphobia. No recognition of clinical violence.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:imuudyzzfj56y3lxiy35kop2/bafkreigwrxqjhmtcgfrmpdevyhvyay4n45yc6daob7qoli5kgdomod4ubi@jpeg)

When those who hate trans people win - or pretend to win, cf Sandie Peggie - it's all over the media, even if it's just a tribunal decision. But when they lose, even in the Court of Appeal, it's absolute bloody tumbleweed. So here's our blog about Allison Bailey latest loss. goodlaw.social/3uyd
