Just sent an email to my local health Trust and Wes Streeting to tell them I don’t want Palantir to take control of our healthcare system. It was quick and easy.
Will you do the same?

Oh dear. The value-generating meat sacks are getting uppity.
Believe it or not we are not solely surplus value generating sacks of meat whose only purpose is to “boost the economy”

The lectureer, Rutger Bregman said that President Trump was the “most openly corrupt president in American history”. This was removed before his lecture was broadcast on Tuesday.

Because, of course, what he said was true.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.

It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.

And it costs lives.

When puberty blockers are allowed, we need more data. When they are banned, gathering more data is a waste of time and must be stopped.

Stop the count or count the votes? It all depends on what you want the numbers to say.

This is premeditated trans mass murder
This research was published 14 months ago. In *Nature*.

Three months BEFORE Wes Streeting announced a "permanent ban" on puberty-blockers.

& yesterday, the Tories insisted you don't even need a clinical trial to keep that ban, forever...

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.

New research shows trans kids on hormone treatment have less suicide ideation

A new report has shown that transgender youth who are on hormone treatment have a reduced level of suicide ideation.

The research builds upon earlier work, but this time examined a much larger cohort.

1 - My son and I met with Wes Streeting last year with other families. He heard the most horrific stories of children refused blockers and how it impacts them. We begged him not to ban blockers, and he promised to work with us, to have further meetings.
