For years, Gender GP was Mermaids' recommended private provider; and former boss Susie Green went to work for Gender GP in 2023.

Extraordinary details in this case from the family court, highlighting just how badly gender-questioning young people are being let down: lack of NHS provision has led them to private providers. Here there was no physical examination before prescribing… bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…

Susan’s description is entirely accurate.. grow up. Dress like your nan if you want, nobody cares. You’re still an entitled man.

Interesting. Went back to read through NHS Confederation guidance that included advice to NHS Trusts to act unlawfully in response to some requests for single-sex care. Worst sections now taken out, but there is no note to say guidance been revised in light of fact it was badly wrong.

I see the sexist witch hunt against Kate Forbes is in full swing again this morning amongst some of our male commentariat. Cynical misrepresentation of her positions positively dripping with misogyny.

Persons of of faith have been & will be FM. Whether it is a Muslim (Humza) or a Christian (John & Kate). Each support the conscience vote & equal rights for all. So what is it about Kate that makes her the focus of anti-religious attacks? 🤔

Today Kate Forbes voted FOR Stage 1 of the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) bill. Humza Yousaf was absent. Just as he was for the final vote on equal marriage. So tell me again why Kate Forbes is being is vilified for her faith…

Begone you deluded man. Women are talking.

Five young women, protesting for their right to not compete against men, protesting for their right to compete fairly, now banned from the sport.

This is what actual student bravery and fighting injustice looks like.

Again, the ‘trans rights’ framing. There have been many stories of women suffering because of the lack of single sex accommodation and care, including mental health care. They’re consistently ignored.

The privilege of a private NHS room shouldn’t be presented as exclusion.

Aw man is there any life-sapping cause the BBC won’t promote. Assisted dying on Thought for the Day. ‘True freedom means accepting mortality’ OK

I agree with this, after caring for my mum for many years and seeing how the vulnerable and frail are treated I have so many reservations about this. We need to protect the vulnerable.

Nichole Keir Starmer One lousy apology and he'd have bought a lot of women's good will, but evidently the mob must still be appeased.

This. Women aren’t stupid. He’s part of the problem.

How Starmer treated Duffield is, I think, a template for how he would treat any woman who spoke inconvenient truths that male people whom he considered higher status victims or allies didn't like

As The Labour Party member totally done with this spineless graceless guff. Show some humility Keir Starmer. Yes Rosie is owed an apology. Do it. It's not about trans rights. It's about women's rights to female wards & intimate care.
No one is 'born into a gender'.
Step up man.

If NHS Confederation doesn't want a 'culture war' why did it publish guidance encouraging hospitals to act unlawfully on requests for single-sex care? Guidance is *still* online despite fact I & others have pointed out it gets the law wrong.

Would it kill him to apologise to Rosie and all the other women vilified by Labour? He apologised over anti semitism (despite being in Corbyn's cabinet). Why is this different and so hard to do? If he wants a golden bridge he needs to bloody cross it. #Labourlosingwomen

I just heard Kit Malthouse make light of these sorts of concerns in the debate yesterday on Radio 4, ridiculing the idea we’re a “nation of granny killers.” So troubling that some MPs clearly don’t have the first clue about coercive control in family relationships.
