Thank you for all the kind words and support. Can I please ask a favour? Can you spread this story as far and wide as you can. Share it with people you know, forward it to your MP's, anyone in the public eye that might be supportive. This is unbelievably horrific, and no one knows about it..
My son is on blockers legally from before the ban and we did everything they told us to do and now we are being threatened with social services if we don't allow them to "safely withdraw" medication. They admit that the impact will be "stark" for our kids but they are going to do it anyway.
"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.
If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

Disgusting main headline on BBC News @ 10. BBC demonising migrants yet again, surprise surprise. I'm sure there are more news worthy things happening in the world. The last time I cancelled my TV license was after Laura K was fawning over Theresa May dancing onto a stage. Next cancellation incoming!

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.
If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

I liked this, particularly how it offers to prospective Reform voters that Reform is not actually any different (but likely worse) than what we have had for the last decade plus. Reform pretends to be radically different to what we have, but it is anything but. #votegreen

“Free speech is an inalienable right.”
Unless you want to protest genocide, refer to someone with their correct pronouns, criticise someone for being a bigot, boycott an organisation for their human rights abuses, etc. Then politicians aggressively try to regulate and police speech. It’s perverse.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.
This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause
How stable are the gender identities of younger children?

No refugees is ‘illegal’. That’s human rights law. Everyone has the right to seek asylum & every state has the right to investigate that claim.
A practical person would ask why candidates are not given fast & fair investigation as quickly as possible instead of warehousing people for years?

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

I’m sick of Westminster politicians blaming migration for their failures.
Immigrants are our NHS staff, our carers, our neighbours. We are a welcoming nation and I’m proud of that.
It’s not migration that pushed down living standards - it’s Brexit, austerity and rising bills.

As women, we know discrimination when we see it. To single out one marginalised group for exclusion is not feminism - it is oppression. Our feminism is intersectional and includes all women, and it will never be used as a tool to harm others.
