Just ten years ago the UK was top of the list - the best place in Europe for LGBT rights. We are now 22nd
The only country to drop faster in one year than us is Hungary
The government needs to act in a major way before this becomes their entire legacy

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

We do not accept the targeting of disabled people to pay for an economic crisis they did not cause. And we will not sit quietly while the basic right to live with dignity is eroded for the sake of arbitrary fiscal rules designed to protect the interests of the wealthy.

Successive governments have failed to protect basic rights for decades.
Now, instead of tackling the root of soaring living costs, this govt is playing to the gallery - pitching cuts by framing people who are ill or disabled as a 'burden.'
Shameful.

As the US sees a massive crackdown on trans people's very existence, it's important to follow stories like this too. Our communities have already built alliances in the fight for collective freedom - one of many starting points for further resistance.
California leaders say Trump orders targeting trans kids won’t change things inside the classroom
Local and state leaders assured trans students and families Friday that nothing will be changing inside California classrooms.

I think it's important to understand that the rhetoric around transmasculine people re. irreversible damage etc. is less of actual sympathy or concern for the trans person themselves, and more addressed to the Patriarch:
"Look at what transgender ideology is doing to Your Property".

Hard to disagree with any of this. I supported assisted dying until I did a research paper on its use in Canada. It's horrifying. When the state shirks its responsibility to provide adequate healthcare and welfare services, you have situations where disabled people see dying as the best option.

Assisted dying is, in theory, a humane thing to offer those who have terminal or severely degenerative illnesses. In practice, I fear it is just a means of implementing eugenics at the legislative level.
