Hi @f1nn5ter.com this article is directly related to @annehealthcare.bsky.social and the horrendous treatment of WellBN child patients at the hands of NHS Sussex ICB and NHS England.

Could you please give it a boost to help spread awareness.

Thank you.

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.

When “gender critical” men talk about how trans rights conflicts with women’s rights, I ask them what feminist thinking/politics/activism they’ve engaged with to arrive at this conclusion. The answer is usually none.
senthorun.bsky.social Senthorun S. Raj @senthorun.bsky.social · May 2
Scholars leading research centres and groups devoted to feminist/gender/sexuality research have joined together to condemn the recent UK Supreme Court judgment that erroneously reduces “sex” to biology and claims to represent feminist and gay people while doing so. Well, not in our name!
We are leaders of centres, research groups and networks, of scholarship, teaching, learning, and academic expertise in gender, feminist, women’s and sexuality studies across the country. We are dismayed by the recent Supreme Court judgment on the meaning of ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010. This judgment, which states that ‘sex’ for the purposes of the Act refers to the ‘sex of a person at birth’, was handed down after a refusal to hear any testimony from legal experts on gender reassignment or from trans, nonbinary, or intersex people. We do not believe it provides more legal clarity on the relationship between gender and sex. Instead, it adds more confusion and gives more potential for transphobic opportunism and harm in an already fraught area. We are also deeply concerned by responses to the judgment by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and organisations such as the British Transport Police. These responses have already used the judgment to declare the exclusion of trans people from facilities and services, and to align policies with ‘biological sex’. Such responses will expose trans, nonbinary/gender-nonconforming, and intersex people to forced outing, deny their lived realities, and limit their ability to participate in society. We reject the framing in the media and in public discourse that puts women, and/or feminists, at odds with trans people. This is especially the case in relation to the inclusion of trans women in women’s spaces. Womanhood is lived; it is not biologically given or legally bestowed. The rights of trans people and the rights of cisgender women are inherently connected. As academic experts on sex and gender, we do not agree that biological sex is ‘self-explanatory.’ As feminists, we see the weaponisation of ‘women’s safety’ to vilify and exclude trans people as shameful. We view this judgment and the damaging responses to it as part of a broader trend of backsliding on equality, which will harm all marginalised groups and expose all gender nonconforming people to exclusionary violence, including cisgender-nonconforming women. Discrimination does not exist in isolation and the stripping away of legal protections threatens us all. Everyone’s bodily autonomy is put at risk by the anti-scientific elevation of ‘biological sex’ as a self-evident category, which will ultimately be policed by intensified regulation of the borders of gender expression. Our support for trans rights, and in particular for trans women’s inclusion in women’s spaces, and the rights of trans, intersex and gender-nonconforming people to access safe and inclusive healthcare and sanitary facilities, is steadfast. We are proudly trans-inclusive and will remain so.

With pure joy, we can finally say that after 7 years of dogged campaigning, this barbaric law will be consigned to the history books.

A petition by Oxford students began the campaign, which has ended in real change for society's most vulnerable. Our voices do matter.

Demonstrating the flaws in ideological projects like the Cass Review is necessary, critical work, but we should also not lose sight of what this implies: that our structurally transphobic institutions are corrupt, motivated, and require only the flimsiest of rationalizations to target trans people.
