A couple of months ago this guy appeared in my mentions with anti-LGBTQ stuff. His pinned tweet was a burning pride flag. I reported him and he was found to have broken no rules.

This weekend he shot a woman dead for hanging the pride flag in her shop…

last call for anyone who wants to follow me on mastodon, link is in my bio, gonna be deleting my account here at the end of the week, i dont think continued support of this site is ethical, so i no longer wish to do it, nor wish to associate with those who do.

given how this platform is being managed, particularly with regards to hate speech, discrimination and misinformation, i dont understand how organisations, like UCU , universities themselves or anyone who claims to support equalities could justify maintaining a presence here.

The Sentencing Council is due to begin a consultation on the sentencing of pregnant women in late 2023

If you have represented clients who are pregnant/recently pregnant, in criminal proceedings, particularly at sentencing, please do complete the survey.

reminder that i have transfered my presence to mastodon, and i dont check this website anymore. If you want to stay in touch please follow me, my profile link is in my bio :)

Cis sportswoman shares relentless anti-trans attacks from trolls attacking her gender identity

New paper in the Lancet confirms gender-affirming care is preventative care.

Confirms:
- GAC is linked to improved quality of life
- GAC is an integral determinant of well-being
- GAC increases positive psych outcomes
- GAC must be considered preventative mental healthcare

i wonder what, if any lessons labour will learn from this? my pessimistic gut reaction is they will double down trying to 'recapture the red wall' and go further right on social policies, particularly trans rights and immigration

Folks - I was consulted at the pilot stage of the online 111 service.
I used UTIs as an example of how flawed it was & said why.
I was ignored.
I've suffered the consequences of this - now Dr Ashley Nova has.
That they've done nothing means we are treated less favourably...

Hi I’m autistic and have no talents, yes we exist too

A reminder.

great to know i was three years old and the national press in the UK were already wishing i never existed.

eugh, this place is so grim.

On this day in 1993 the Daily Mail was gleefully saying say people could not exist before they were even born 😔

They couldn’t even contain their anti-blackness.
Remembering when I was in a class (only black woman) a ww asked what I did - I said I just published a book. Really? A proper book? What’s it called THEN? They googled to check. It wasn’t admiration, it was disdain & disbelief.

If a child doesn’t feel comfortable coming out as trans or gender non-conforming to their parents, there’s a reason. And that reason is often abuse.
Outing a child to potentially abusive parents is not safeguarding.

I feel like a broken record but objecting to posters that merely ACKNOWLEDGE the existence of a marginalized group is clear, uncontroversially, blatantly fascist shit.
