I'm sure this person is a wonderful scientist & I hope they signpost us to all their publications that demonstrate how 'incorrect' international bodies of biomedical scientists, psychiatrists & psychologists are 😏.

This one goes in last for a specific mention as this march for trans rights on 17th May is happening on the same day as an IPSC march and yet another fash rally.

Given our executive parties have decided to be Wes Streeting's bludgeon it is of particular importance people show support for this.

*is not accessible on 1/3. Silly predictive text.

NI Prides need to do better at this. There needs to be a #DisabledPerson or someone specialising in #EDI (preferably both) on every #PrideCommittee. 3/3

Routes not advertised in advance, that don't say where inclines & declines are, aren't accessible. Not including details of accessible loos, you guessed it, isn't accessible. Yet these are the things that I've experienced as a #DisabledPerson at #LGBTQIAPride for years. 2/ 3

Access to appropriate interventions which may include delayment of puberty to reduce #GenderDysphoria symptoms, which can have long-term harmful effects, are required & should rest on medical expertise in this field. This has been demonstrated to save lives. 3/3

This is absolutely wrong, based on a fundamentally flawed review & is against the recommendations of the #BritishMedicalAssociation. Not one UK doctor is chemically castrating kids. The effects of puberty blockers are reversible on ceasement. Being #Trans is not a political issue... 2/3

I hope it goes well Dermot. Hopefully you'll be able to put things right without any hassle. It's such a ridiculous system - I dread looking at any notification they send me (as a self-employed claimant, I get a lot)

Yeah, it seems edits aren't possible after a post has been made. Worth keeping in mind for future ref.

You're a lovely person & deserve to be happy ❤️

You certainly look happier in yourself &, I can only talk about recently, are a joy to be around. Please don't forget to add #AltText to images so those using #Screenreaders can gauge the Sasquatchness 😉

I noticed this contradiction too. Meanwhile, bombs dropped on Southern Lebanon & Beirut ahead of so-called ceasefire talks. 🤔
