Receiving a copy of Mark's final book was a bittersweet moment today... I'm looking forward to sitting down with a cuppa to start reading ☕

A truly transformational time at the Asha Centre 🧘‍♂️

Being in a beautiful trans-centred space has recharged my batteries! Love and respect to everyone there for their radical vulnerability.

Yesterday I stood with my community - with my friends, my family, my clients - in our collective grief and rage, and it was a beautiful thing.

Dropped by @salforduni.bsky.social earlier today, and it was really lovely to see a display for Neurodiversity Celebration Week at the library... some really great reads in there!

Happy International Women's Day to all marginalised women - women of colour, trans women, disabled and neurodivergent women, queer women, working-class women, and other women who society has branded as being somehow "less of a woman".

Lovely to see some familiar faces in this month's issue of Therapy Today - @dturner300.bsky.social and @mickcooper77.bsky.social in a great article on the future of research!
A quote from Dwight Turner, next to a photo of him. "It's essential that we find more ways to hear the voices of those groups that have not had space to speak about their experiences." A quote from Mick Cooper, next to an image of him. "We need to work together to generate compelling, good case knowledge around particular topic areas."

A quote from @charlotteclymer.bsky.social that I've been thinking a lot about lately
Quote by Charlotte Clymer: "Trans people are everywhere. Every country, every race, every ethnicity, every religion, every socioeconomic level, every period of human history - we are everywhere. We are natural. You can't get rid of what's natural. I think they know that, and it terrifies them." Quote by Charlotte Clymer: "They can try to ban us. They can get rid of our healthcare. They can try to deny us housing, credit, and public accommodations. They can try to shame us. They can try to erase us, but at some point, they will realize the trans community is never going away."
