The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

Please use - and share with your networks.

The BBC must stop attacking trans people | Good Law Project
The right wing accusations of ‘pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.

The only threat to the NHS is Wes Streeting. Solidarity with the BMA.

There are also big problems with the way the Guardian has reported this. Basically a puff-piece for their centrist golden boy.

It’s disturbing and discomforting to examine but there are several anti-phone and anti-social media initiatives weaponizing murders and suicides of teens, leveraging grieving parents, and exaggerating or inventing causation to try and limit speech online and restrict tech freedoms

As someone who was raised in an anti-technology cult the current attempts to get kids off phones is so obviously counterproductive.
Having no access to TV and the internet as a kid made me yearn for technology. As soon as I had access I became terminally online in the worst way, as you’d expect
by the by I've said before and I'll say again - I don't agree with the "we need them kids off them screens" values of the boomers. screens are great for a plethora of reasons.

But if you do want kids off screens and making friends offline then you need to address the reasons they've 'retreated'.
ps. it is arguable that Brianna would not likely have turned to social media for friendships and transitional support had those things been readily available in her local area.

@charlotte2153.bsky.social you want kids like Brianna off her phone? then give them a better alternative.

I grew up in a theatrical family for who the BBC held an almost sacred position and a lot of my fave shows growing up (red dwarf, doctor who, Blake’s 7, the news quiz) were produced by them. But over a decade being out as trans I’m not sure the BBC can be saved, it’s rotten to the core
Revealing division in my timeline between (1) my insider friends who have lived privileged lives who are very keen that we defend the BBC and think it's important it survives and (2) my outsider friends who feel (at best) ambivalent about the BBC's survival.

Please read this statement by Anne Health.

Trans children are being subjected by Sussex NHS to the physical torture of being forcibly detransitioned.

This is unnecessary cruelty and in my view constitutes torture, violence and child abuse on the part of NHS Sussex.

Interesting that the judge notes that it is a "political belief" Robinson holds and then proceeds to call it a "protected characteristic". Even though political beliefs are not in fact protected characteristics under the Equality Act – only philosophical ones are. Somewhat gives the game away.
I suppose it was only a matter of time, once judges decided that transphobia was protected under the Equality Act, before they decided that full blown fascism was (www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...).

Absolutely insane.

Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.

Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.

The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

Hi @northwestbylines.co.uk why did @sophiemolly.co.uk's article need to be *withdrawn* for SussexICB to have a right of reply?

If they have a right of reply I would like to be able to read what they are replying to. I don't understand your reasons for withdrawing it.

Have they threatened you?

Teen Vogue has been one of the few platforms publishing actual investigative news stories exposing the harassment and targeting of trans people in the UK - at a time when no UK publication will touch it.

That they’re no longer covering politics is a massive loss! 😣😖
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

God this shit is just downright evil
NHS Sussex blackmailed a GP practice with withdrawal of contract unless they shared data of Trans patients against the wishes of those patients & families.
- Pre determined outcome
- Staff concerns ignored
- Families traumatised
- NHS Sussex refuse to meet with families
- Trans youth at risk
"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."

Britain is not in the grip of mass violence.

The Cambridgeshire train stabbings were horrific - and incredibly rare.

Your odds of being attacked by a stranger are much lower than they were.

Here's the facts! 👇
