![Screenshot: Review of adult gender dysphoria services One of the recommendations of the Cass Review was a review of the adult service specification. [...] Dr David Levy, Medical Director of Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, and previously NHS England’s North West Regional Medical Director, will lead the review, supported by an expert panel of patients, clinicians experienced in the delivery of gender-related care, independent regulators and members of relevant professional bodies.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3fopv5w5ocsusqytjkfo5kge/bafkreicddjexm2jzxmexm2loedc2bsmcf2vlwqsoqnyzqe4trifvd4gzky@jpeg)
![Screenshot Levy Review The review of NHS adult gender dysphoria services in England[1], led by Dr David Levy, was announced in August 2024[2], shortly after the publication of the Cass Review. The stated motivation for commissioning the review included concerns about "inadequate, time-limited assessment", weak consent procedures, waiting times, patient demographics, and administrative problems.[3] It is still underway. Though NHS England originally expected to publish the report in spring 2025[4], it has not yet been released as of yet. Internal documents suggest publication may be close. Its likely effects are uncertain, but it may lead to tighter gatekeeping in NHS services, with possible knock-on effects for private clinics, particularly for people under 25.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3fopv5w5ocsusqytjkfo5kge/bafkreif3o7mlb73mu3ptfh7yvh5sipvsljhvbl43l3ygvu3jdgbes3tcn4@jpeg)

Liberal Currents has featured a well-written article on how the @EHRC's recent actions regarding its guidance on accessing single-sex spaces in the UK have led to chaos for both trans people and many businesses trying to comply with the law.

Many people were unaware of what was going on with FWS vs Scotland and as a result, our complacency has cost us our rights. The TERFs had been growing powerful, and most activism efforts ended up polarising allies and failing the community.

Electrolysis for facial hair removal/ SRS is vital to many transfeminine transitions. It is the only permanent method, and the only method suited for pale hair.
It is however difficult to access, as a full course can be lengthy (100~200 sessions) and costly (£10~20k).

People who underwent all the legal and surgical steps in the UK to change their sex were betrayed by the CPS, NHS, the Labour Govt and the Supreme Court. We lost all of our ground to mass hysteria, letting the state walk back on its promises.
Do we have a plan to regain our ground?

In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

The NHS can't have it both ways. It can't say that we are simultaneously and unchangeably our sex at birth and then prevent us from blood donation based upon our identities. Quantum genders aren't real. It's time for the NHS to accept biological reality...
Together, we can change NHS policy and deliver an inclusive blood donation policy.

EHRC interim guidance, the Reform prison debate, M&S apologising for trans employees doing their jobs. Discrimination against trans people was once illegal.
Now it's a question of whether it's illegal NOT to discriminate against us.

So I responded to the EHRC consultation just now, and if you're in the UK I suggest you do so too (it would mean a lot to my kind 🥺 )
(I spent two hours filling it in too much detail so that I could tell you how to speedrun it for maximum focus (the deadline is tomorrow))

Concretely
- UKSC sneakily repealed legal transition in all-but-name
- EHRC wants everyone to ban *all* transes from toilets
- ~Everyone that matters kowtows to the organised terf pressure
- JK Rowling incites mass harassment
And that's only thus far

okay so I think it's high time I should publicise what me and @typeofemale.bsky.social have been up to!
Two months ago, the British state decided to try to take away our ability to live dignified lives. This deeply shocked me and left me scrambling for what to do
