Delighted to be named with amazing authors on this peer-reviewed paper highlighting deep methodological flaws in the Cass report

Far too often it is upheld as perfect evidence based medicine, when in truth there are clear worrying inconsistencies

Some amazing personal news - I'm in a children's book!

A Year of Pride and Joy is an empowering anthology of joyful stories from 52 contemporary LGBTQIA+ voices! Actual celebrities and amazing people…and somehow me!

Queer joy is resistance. Pre-order at www.waterstones.com/book/a-year-...

Unfortunately the only way to interpret this sort of violence is to admit that queer lives are not seen as valuable

When you defund the health of a population, you are actively choosing to eradicate that population
Screen shot of a post burritos magazine. Trump is speaking at a microphone and the text reads: Trump cancels 68 research grants focussing on LGBTQ+ health concerns Most of the grants related to sexual minorities, with topics including HIV prevention, cancer, youth suicide and bone health

A picture of me in a gold tiled bathroom. I’m leaning against the wall smiling with one hand on my pocket. I’m a white person with brown curly hair, wearing a gold leopard print shirt, white t shirt and gold pearl necklace with black trousers. I have sparkly eyeshadow in the inner corners of my eyes.

The healthcare community has to be outraged against this. Surely this is enough to make you see that there is a systematic erasure of healthcare for these groups
Restricting the publication of evidence and research is the pinnacle of violence which weaponises knowledge systems #lgbtq #meded #health

Night time skincare instead of a night out did unfortunately result in me feeling a lot better. Hate it when common sense wins.

I’m adorable
2 pictures of me in a collage. I’m a white person with brown curly hair and blue eyes, wearing a black tshirt. I’m also wearing a gold chain with a pearl pendant, and have a large red bow on top of my head. One photo is of me facing the camera at an angle smirking with glitter under my eyes, the other is taken from behind showing the bow on my head. In the background are signs of Christmas around the house

A picture of me cuddling a whippet on the sofa with my head poking above his looking at the camera A picture looking at a whippet close to his nose and he is sprawled on the sofa in striped PJs with a Christmas tree in the background A picture of a whippet curled in an armchair looking up quizzically with a Christmas tree lit up in the background A picture of me, my man, my mum, my dad and my sister sat around a dining room table smiling at the camera holding glasses up. Food and candles are on the table and we all look happy.

In 2021 I wrote with colleagues the @gladduk.bsky.social Medical Schools Charter on So-Called LGBTQ+ Conversion Therapy

3.5 years on I was honoured to be invited by @kateosbornemp.bsky.social to give evidence in parliament on this alongside amazing survivors

There is power in medical education

I’ve never called myself an expert, but increasingly find the label given to me. There’s a huge danger to this; walking the line between believing in yourself and believing the hype. Not sure I’ve figured out the balance yet - how to take time for humility and joy. Still, proud of how far I’ve come
