What would a healthcare system that works for Trans+ people look like in the UK?
With @whatthetrans.com we look at the astounding, centuries-long waiting list for a first appointment for gender affirming care in some areas of the UK.

Gonna ask for anyone with potential info: William DeFoor, the person accused of damaging JD Vance's Ohio home, is being written up in right wing media as wanting to be referred to as "Julia" and is trans, which I can find zero info on. His lawyer even referred to him as "he" during arraignment.

Incredibly important new study from Cal Horton @fiercemum.bsky.social - the first to look at England's post-Cass child/adolescent gender clinics. Dr Horton found patients and families are being actively harmed, with one young person describing appointments as "the worst thing I’ve ever experienced”.

We got a 'response' from the BBC, who couldn't be bothered to write more than 3 small paragraphs (153 words) to our letter, and avoided all the points raised.

We sent a formal complaint to the BBC over its repeated misgendering of trans people and use of terms like “biological male”. We’ve also written to the Women and Equalities Committee, DCMS, and the Minister for Women and Equalities. Now we need community action.

Working with Alyx, Ashleigh & the team at @whatthetrans.com in collaboration with @wearequeeraf.com for the Gender Clinic Files has probably been the best thing Ive done all year.
Its definately been a year, but hopefully weve hit a turning point now and 26 will see our fightback gain ground.

As 2025 pulls to a close. I thought I'd put together a little end of year thoughts thread.
So when 2025 started, I didn't realise it was gonna be this crazy. At the start of the year I kicked things off by releasing my Tavistock whistleblowers article.
