1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.

The latest from S. Baum.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

Absolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell
I'm not kidding. That's the fucking argument. "Kids will be harmed by the policy we rammed through once they grow up, so do conversion therapy on them."

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Don’t look away from the needless death being inflicted around the world by the Trump/Musk shutdown of USAID. Even if the federal courts ultimately save the agency, thousands of people will have died in the meantime. Because of a billionaire’s spite, sadism, and paranoia. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Let me be clear. If you are a Trump supporter, you are not my friend.

You support an evil regime, oppressing people in the name of right-wing, hardcore extremism, hiding behind 'Christian values'.

I stand with my friends and my family that you and your fascist, rapist ruler want to kill.

I'm pretty proud of this tree view component I helped to make. I wrote about the nuance of what went into it in the hopes that it can serve as a reference for others. #a11y github.blog/engineering/...

Co-ran a new intermediate Prototype kit training course with @frankieroberto.com yesterday - where we cover making a data driven casework service.

Was fun! I have fond memories from co-teaching the beginner prototype kit course whilst at GDS.

Am beyond words to learn of the passing of my friend and work confidant Vicky Teinaki.

My heart goes out to her family and close friends. I’m glad I got to work with her at last after 6 years of near-daily Slack DMs.

Will miss you Vicky ❤️
