NHS Sussex ICB Meeting — 13 Nov 2025
Parents asked for evidence of harm. None was given.

Parents ask ICB what “harms” justify accessing their children’s medical data without consent. They were told nothing. “Evidence of harm” is the reason for the investigation, yet no evidence was identified.

"There's just no way to exclude transphobes." say Your Party defenders about an organisation whose founding members include transphobes. Are we supposed to believe Corbyn is so inept that he's been desperately trying to get them to leave but whoops the transphobes were speaking for Your Party?

Behold, the Sword of Power! Excalibur! For anyone waiting for things from me, this is why: my brain has been consumed by John Boorman and Excalibur, both of them dear to my heart. The restoration is stunning, and finally presents the film in the right aspect ratio on home video... 🧵1/8

Both Prostate Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK say Streeting should follow the expert advice, but a bunch of politicians and public figures with no expertise want to overrule that. Would like to see Labour stand up on the side of evidence and expertise here. It would be a good precedent.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

Farage is copying Trump and has put out a video trying to cash in on Black Friday and selling merchandise.

£349 quid for a Reform football shirt in a black box.

I tell you what THAT is just greed and has no place in UK politics

This literally means that if a trans person requires GnRH blockers for cancer treatment (i.e breast or prostate), they CANNOT get cancer treatment.

Insane. Absolutely insane - and deadly.
No matter what the politicians say, this is discrimination. Look at how the regulation is worded: This is not a ban on its use for a particular indication, it's a ban for a population.

Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses.
The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social you have grown in popularity not in spite of your support of trans rights but because of it. This is a really important story that needs a politician to take a principled stance and speak out against the tragedy occurring.

'everyone can believe in the future again'

unless they're trannies, non-humans, we've replaced their healthcare with conversion practices and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is not only mandating children be taught lies about them but she's also about ready to persecute them with insane segregation laws

Since the government repeatedly signposts trans people to helplines I searched for evidence for their effectiveness in reducing distress in people with gender dysphoria, who cannot access medical care. There isn’t any.

I thought this government and health secretary was all about evidence.

@sianberry.bsky.social, @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @zackpolanski.bsky.social, it would be amazing to see you signal boost this injustice, and apply pressure.

There are desperate families with trans youth who are now at very real risk of harm due to this.

A distressed sixteen year old sends an impassioned letter explaining how fear of the withdrawal of her gender affirming care has left her suicidal.

But it’s ok, NHS Sussex ICB are on it with a dedicated helpline. That should fix things. The evidence for the efficacy of helplines is legendary.

They are now insinuating that if we go to Gids, they might continue prescribing whilst being careful not to actually say that. We know it's a lie. The new clinics haven't issued a single prescription. They are desperate to get our kids into that conversion therapy service.

SEEN needs to spell out how astonishingly improper this is. A Gender Critical activist ‘journalist’ openly admits he was “invited to address the judge” in a criminal trial, even though he says himself he “doesn’t technically have standing”. This should NEVER happen in court.

This is why I’m here:

I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.

Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10

It is good to see cross-party challenge to overt racism in British political and media discourse: Labour MP Sarah Owen, who chairs the women & equalities select committee, challenges the racist claim from GB News contributor Lucy White that Deputy Speaker Nus Ghani should be barred from parliament
I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.

Who the hell is Lucy White?!

Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’

I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

Hey UK trans friends, I need advice

A friend was referred to a GIC in 2023, and now the GIC has turned around and claimed that they're not in their system (their GP record confirms a referral was sent)

Any advice on how to get the GIC to honour the referral instead of forcing an even longer wait?

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
