This is why there needs to be a complete ban of corporate and overseas funding of all political organizations. Not just parties but other campaign groups.

FT exclusive:

“The US state department is set to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities across Europe to disseminate Washington’s policy positions and challenge perceived threats to free speech.”

"As co-chair, Beth, now 68, faced down intimidation from anti-trans groups to oversee a vote that cemented the Association’s inclusive ethos in 2024. It was, she says, 'the hardest thing I have ever done, and also the thing I’m the most proud of.'"

The ASPS has come out against trans youth surgical care.

The AMA then endorsed the ASPS.

Meanwhile, WPATH's president-elect testified on behalf of a detransitioner who won their case.

And hospitals capitulate to Trump.

I write my indictment of the American medical system on trans youth care.
The Cowardice Of American Medicine On Trans Youth Care
After capitulation by hospitals across the country, the ASPS and AMA have both thrown trans kids under the bus on surgical care.

You can never appease snakes. The VERY SAME people who were asking "what rights do trans people not have?" five or so years ago are applauding the removal of trans rights that's happening now. The VERY SAME people who wanted "more evidence" for puberty blockers are campaigning to stop the trial.

This is a must-read: Appeasing Sex Matters was never about “clarity”. It was about power. What followed the Supreme Court ruling wasn’t calm or resolution, but escalating demands, wider exclusions, and institutions choosing fear over inclusion.

Justin Webb just introduced an item on BBC R4 by talking of campaigners in Scotland litigating to "keep biological males" out of women's prisons. No longer bothering even to pretend to be constrained by the BBC's 'rules' on editorial independence to keep his personal bigotry under wraps.

I said I’d do this ages ago, but at least I’ve made a start this afternoon.

I’m complaining that RCPsych members have pivotal roles in ‘treating’ (gatekeeping) gender incongruence when the International Classification of Diseases ICD-11 states, gender incongruence is NOT a mental health disorder.
Screenshot of contact form to rcpsych.ac.uk Enquiry topic * Policy Message * I would like a name and address to write to, to complain about some RCPsych members being central in NHS delivery of gender related care for trans people, when gender incongruence is not recognised as a mental health condition in ICD 11 and is now recorded as a… (end of screenshot) …condition of sexual and reproductive health. I look forward to hearing from you. Submit

A lot has happened recently on the EHRC’s proposed bathroom ban but they're still trying to exclude trans people from public life. The EHRC aren’t changing course, and we have to keep the pressure up.

I know the people who run this. It is a tiny organisation but has taken some massive stands. Was the first Pride in the UK to ban politicians and is always the first out with strong statements supporting trans people.

I know things are tight but please help support them if you can.

The only reason the EHRC is witholding publication of its minutes is because we've previously used them to show the depth of collusion & conflicts of interest with anti trans groups & legal efforts under Falkners regime.

Thats clearly continuing.
tacc.org.uk TACC @tacc.org.uk · 4d
The EHRC's withholding of board minutes is clear; transparency is not its intention. Something that an NHRI should be upholding as part of its duties.

We have sent an email to the EHRC asking for clarity on this matter.

Gender-affirming healthcare should be free on the NHS.

Right now, it's not.

Waiting lists are years long. Children have no access. Many people are left managing dysphoria and transition alone.
