I’m so fed up of politicians denying the NHS the resources it needs to save lives, deflecting blame elsewhere, and then funnelling more and more money into private company hands. It’s grotesque. Patients are dying.

One of the toxic side-effects of the rise in transphobia is this:
Any time I see an org that says it's about "women's rights" or focused on women in some way, I now stop and think, "do you mean ALL women's rights? Or just cis women?"
And that fucking sucks.

It's genuinely sick that they are consulting groups that openly want to wipe trans people out on our healthcare. Beyond evil. How are these vile people not held to account
The Labour Government has confirmed they invited numerous known hate groups and pro-conversion orgs to give evidence for their closed consultation on the puberty blocker ban, including Bayeswater Support, LGB Alliance, CAN-SG, Transgender Trend and Sex Matters.
Never let them forget this choice.

1. In a major development, the first national consensus guidelines for trans youth have been released in France.
They recommend affirmation and medical care, denounce "wait and see."
They refute much of the Cass Review.

If you are buying these brands of tomato paste, you need to know they are being made using forced labour in China, not even Italian tomatoes as claimed on labels. See the article for some other brands outside the UK.
