Trans healthcare saves lives 💙
It’s not a slogan — it’s reality. Access to care means safety, dignity, and the chance to live fully.

No gatekeeping. No unwanted questions. Just care. 💙
Because getting the healthcare you need shouldn’t depend on proving who you are.
At Anne, we’re here to make gender-affirming care accessible, respectful, and human.

Hi @northwestbylines.co.uk why did @sophiemolly.co.uk's article need to be *withdrawn* for SussexICB to have a right of reply?
If they have a right of reply I would like to be able to read what they are replying to. I don't understand your reasons for withdrawing it.
Have they threatened you?

Some say "not being a dick to trans people" is "gender ideology", but the true "gender ideology" is the one thst makes an idealogue out of sex, on a false binary premise, and them actively forces your gender to fit with their ideas of how it should be performed, while also saying gender doesnt exist

On National Coming Out Day we celebrate LGBTQ+ people who live their lives out and proud and those who made the coming out process easier for us. We also remember that coming out may not be safe for everyone and they are no less valid.

A poorly thought out, vindictive and completely unworkable policy by Reform UK fell apart the moment it brushed up against reality?
I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.
It’s almost as though they have, yet again, proven they are not in any way or form a serious party.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

This is Dingo. He gets very anxious if he doesn't have a lap to sit on. In order to meet his lap needs, his family made him an emotional support dummy using pre-worn clothes donated from his grandpa. Dingo couldn't be happier, and we're happy for him. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Remember when a Daily Mail journalist got a whole story out of being in a pub toilet where the hand dryer wasn't working and a trans woman in there said "haha I'll just have to dry my hands on my jeans" and turned it in to "I'll just have to dry my hands on my penis"? Transphobes are such perverts.

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.
Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her?

You shouldn't know, and you don't fucking know. If you do this shit tell *no one*. If by accident you happen to find out, no you fucking didn't. Quick reminder that whoever burned down the police weapons training building in Bristol has never been caught coz they shut their fucking mouths.
Today is shut the fuck up Friday so remember that if you think you know who did a possibly illegal direct action, no you don't.
