I hadn't quite appreciated that every senior researcher involved in the NHS puberty blocker trial has direct ties to SEGM, a designated hate group. We have an anti-Trans, USA hard right backed group pulling the strings behind the UK NHS puberty blocker trial. It is rotten to its core. Zero Trust.
The puberty blocker trial is about to start according to the BBC, led by Dr Emily Simonoff. The same Dr who spoke at a symposium organised by Segm, a group designated an anti trans hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Centre /1

i remember how trans people were scolded and yelled at and treated as lesser by the cis if they so much as questioned whether voting labour was the right move
Under new NHS puberty blocker trial protocols, trans youth are being subjected to more than 50 assessments, intrusive exams, and over 13 hours of intrusive testing - just to access lifesaving healthcare

So there we have it.
This may sound beyond the realms of reality but: the NHS puberty blockers trial is being run by a cabal of transphobic cranks.
SEGM has been publicly spurned by multiple medical authorities as outside the mainstream, and as not a credible scientific organisation.

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.
This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

I'm not exaggerating. It literally says trans people can be banned from all facilities entirely leaving them with nowhere to go at all. Since this covers public restrooms, workplaces, gyms, etc, this is effectively a full on ban on the participation of trans people in British society.

During Transgender Week of Awareness, I would love to be sharing the joy of being our true self, the history over millennia, or the biological aspects of trans folk.
But what really needs to be spread is the genocide. To all trans folk this comes with a trigger warning, cis folk need to read this.

This morning, his Home Secretary is loudly letting the world know that the government intends to make the lives worse of even those found to be genuine refugees.

i stopped paying attention to the bbc after they published a conspiracy theory about trans women raping lesbians.
their 1 source was a sex predator who wrote a manifesto stating trans men should be correctively raped and trans women should be lynched
they still have not retracted or apologised

It’s so difficult to say what “the news” is these days: newspapers and front pages seem largely irrelevant, the BBC is ignored or castigated by so many, and social media is so siloed that “current affairs” seems to exist in multiple separate iterations
I'm guessing the BBC 'scandal' has been big on X this week as this was the first I had heard of it...

96 working days for Tavistock and Portman to respond to my complaint, and it more or less amounts to "yeah we lied to the coroner, we aren't doing shit to prevent future deaths of people on the waiting list."
You'd think I would have learned not to be surprised by this point.
