If they go after any woman for simply calling a man a man, I'll repeat that woman's words and they can charge us both at once.

It’s really important when discussing legal rights to be clear about 1. the duties they generate and 2. who is subject to them. Legal entitlements can only be fully understood when we have a clear sense of what exactly this is an entitlement to and who is obligated to provide it.

Teaching children about their bodies in an age-appropriate way helps safeguard them against abuse from predatory adults and helps them understand the changes that take place biologically as they begin to approach puberty.

BREAKING

Children will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, NHS England has confirmed.

The cumulative effect of living with unmet social and emotional needs places significant mental strain on girls and women who are neurodivergent.

This is particularly enhanced when neurodivergent conditions are late diagnosed, undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

A 2022 survey of 1,187 caregivers found 75% of teen girls w/ ADHD also have anxiety, 54% suffer from depression, more than 14% have a sleep disorder, and nearly 12% report an eating disorder — more than 3 times the national average for neurotypical women. additudemag.com/mental-health-…

Misdiagnosis can be particularly problematic for women, who are more likely to have their ADHD missed when experiencing both conditions.

Girls with autism also may have their ADHD or autistic traits dismissed or treated only as mental health or personality disorders.

🧠 We must do more to ensure that no minds are left behind. This IWD2024 let’s ensure that all women, including neurodivergent women, have their stories, struggles and resilience recognised. #NoMindLeftBehind 💪

We also know that neurodivergent women are at a higher risk of experiencing trauma, bullying and mental health difficulties.

Girls with autism are three times more likely to be victims of sexual violence than their neurotypical peers (Ohlsson et al., 2018).
