Yup.

Then there's the opposite feeling you get when you're like 'omg, I really want a partner, but that would be so much energy, I'm not sure how I'd be able to manage it, and what about when I want to be alone', and the idea of it scares me as much as the idea of being alone.

As reported by Open Democracy, the conference that was shut down had active open conversion therapists on its speakers list.

The The Guardian are a credulous nonsense rag publishing this sort of stuff without quesion.

'Labour’s strategy to achieve this is to bend to rightwing narratives rather than making the case for leftwing (or even centre-left) ideas.'

Yup.

Three candidates to be the next mayor of London have refused to explain why they failed to turn up to a packed hustings event that would have allowed disabled people from across the capital to question them on their policies.

I really wish Labour would stop their rank ableism especially in this time of Long Covid which any of us could get at any time but here we are

I just want to say a huge thanks (that can never be adequately repaid) to all the trans people who are taking both the time and emotional energy to go through the Cass review, sometimes line-by-line, and accessibly breaking down exactly why it sucks. Information is power.

One good thing about the Cass review is that it's making people in power stick their necks out and admit that they're marks

Like, this is the editor in chief of the British Medical journal making sure we know that he thinks you can do a double-blind trial on puberty itself

'Middle aged moment' from the Charity Commission, who told Mermaids 'this was posted in error'. Mermaids have requested an apology. The Charity Commission recently granted anti Trans lobby group Sex Matters charity status. Evidence of Institutional Transphobia by Charity Commission

My respond to Joe Wicks ridiculous claims about ADHD. I've also quoted ADHD UK , where I first heard this story.

An influencer will literally say 'I believe processed foods/bad nutrition cause ADHD' and people will bend over backwards trying to explain why they didn't actually mean the literal words they literally said.

You're right, how dare we assume people mean the things they say?

Resilience here is a buzz word used by Conversion Therapist Stella O'Malley to describe the therapy she does to try to encourage trans people to just get over how painful masking their gender identity is and learn to live with it.

Today, we dropped a 30ft banner to say fuck the Cass Review. Trans youth know what they want and need. It’s not being pathologized or patronised. It's accessing the support they deserve, whether safe housing, education or puberty blockers.

Just a thought but, if you’re a small con in your 2nd year & you are being criticised for your accessibility policy - and you realise you screwed up? You can ask us for help.

We *want* you to get it right.

Not for ourselves: so that everyone after us has a better experience.
