The #CassReview excluded trans people from its governance board and appointed pro-conversion therapy activists to conduct its evidence review who A) Did not declare their conflicts of interest, and B) Threw out the majority of the evidence

And so Kellie-Jay Keen's campaign to restrict access to contraception and abortion for under 16s in the UK begins.

1. Two years ago, Hillary Cass met with DeSantis picks and collaborated on a trans care ban in Florida.

Now her review targets trans people in England.

It is filled with flawed claims over evidence, toys, and social transition.

Wildest things that came out of the Cass Report on trans healthcare

Random xenophobic bawbags keep telling me 'you're not even Scottish!!!' but here is my Southern European-born bahookie sweating itself out in 13°C heat whilst already wearing a damn vest in Edinburgh.

If feeling hot in this weather doesn't pass as Scottish I don't know what does

Every day is National Pet Day in this house with Zelda and Scott 🥰

Glad that while the country is crumbling around us we’re taking the time to *checks notes* make life hard for trans people

Academic colleagues who work in areas concerned with research methodologies have a duty to speak up here. The Cass Review's methods are horrendously flawed. Yet it is being passed off as an 'independent report' that should be taken seriously. Integrity matters.

Cass review says that 'prenatal and postnatal hormonal influence' is why there are Boy toys and Girl toys. Well done, 'feminists.' I hope you're all very proud of yourselves.

'But society is as poorly served by those who seek to dismiss the consequence of hate – lawful or otherwise – as nothing more than 'hurt feelings', or who amplify it in pursuit of their own agenda.' My The Herald column on the Hate Crime Act. heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

Scotland has the best A&E waiting times in the UK, according to data compiled by NHS England. ⏰

Less than 5% of patients waited over 12 hours for treatment, compared to over 10% in England and 16% in Wales 🏥

My lovely neighbour put this card through my door this morning and as someone who found a home outwith the country I was born in, I do think I'm lucky enough to be exactly where I need to be 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Absolutely crazy to see 32,000+ people slaughtered and publicly state 'actually, we should be supporting Israel in genociding them harder'

Man. I'm thinking about the last couple days and it really is all so bleak. Israel really murdered charity workers as a warning to other aid groups, released a video of a visibly smirking Netanyahu saying 'haha our bad,' and the US gov is once again deflecting the whole thing.

Scotland is mental and I wouldn't have it any other way

The thing about Scotland is that it's very wet and that means there's lush green grass everywhere. Would do the Pro-Hate Crime crowd a world of good to just go offline for a bit and touch some of that grass.
