After doing everything possible to break me, my rapist’s lawyer told the jury that I was “the strong one”. Well, I wasn’t broken, my rapist was convicted, and now after a successful complaint, that same lawyer is facing disciplinary action. So yeah… I AM the strong one! 💪🏽⚖️

Ten years on, 100 Chibok girls, now women, are still missing.

The media really should not let the CEO of Mermaids get away with shamelessly claiming that they haven't and don't advocate for a medical pathway. They continue to publish medical disinformation on their website, among other things.

Excellent editorial on the Cass Review from the British Medical Journal.

'Offering treatments without an adequate understanding of benefits and harms is unethical... puberty blockers and hormone therapies are major, life altering interventions.'

Nice thread from a fabulous little book whose author was ostracised by bullying captured publishing for saying kids don’t have to comply to ridiculous regressive old fashioned stereotypes.

The Scottish health secretary has nothing to say on the implications for Scottish children of the Cass review including its revelations about the lack of evidence in gender services? Pretty woeful.

The reasons the clinics have for not co-operating with the Cass report are mind-boggling. “We’re not going to supply you with data for your research because we think you’re going to criticise us.” P.303 of the full report.
