Today I want to talk about Jess’ Rule and Martha’s Rule, two new initiatives across NHS England that I think are really important and you should know about.
Tl;dr: if your symptoms are not improving or getting worse, at home or in hospital, you have the right and Drs the responsibility to review.

Weird, I've checked the BBC, Guardian, Telegraph and Daily Heil reports on the summit and they all seem to forget to mention anything about these comments

Bwah hah hah!

My new laptop came with a Copilot key but no Page Down key.

Boo!

But I have successfully remapped the Copilot key to Page Down.

Yay!

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: β€œFor Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life.

Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent.

That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship

UK Gave Β£90k to Sexual Violence Report Central to Israel’s Genocide Propaganda Exclusive: The Foreign Office funded a sexual violence report subsequently used in a Β£33m Israeli campaign to whitewash its genocide in Gaza. Rivkah Brown reports.

Mindblowing story. The UK met most of the costs of a key propaganda tool used by the Israeli Government to launder its genocide in Gaza - then tried to cover up the fact it had done so.

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?

Reasons a cis women might have Y chromosomes:

- Twin brother
- Gestating a child with a Y chromosome
- Bone marrow transfusion from someone with a Y chromosome
- Being intersex (we know of XY women who have naturally conceived and given birth)

Pubic statement by GirlGuiding to carry on excluding transgender children despite being offered legal support by the GoodLaw Project.  It is now apparent this exclusion is by choice not by threats of legal action by the GCIM

It with great sadness that we read the GirlGuides are continuing to discriminate against transgender children despite the offer by the @goodlawproject.org to defend them in any legal case. It is painfully apparent now they have used threats against them by the GCIM as an excuse to allow exclusion.

Also when the Cass Review says it relies on the York studies for its systematic review of evidence, how clear is it that Cass herself chaired the advisory group for the York studies

A next door neighbour from pre-transition days is sitting behind me in this coffee shop -- I don't think he's recognised me.

One Year On: 13 people on the ruling that changed their lives On 16 April 2025, the UK’s Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on their biological sex assigned at birth. Forget the rage-bait headlines and attempts to divide us through...

This is excellent. Give yourself a 15 minute break from whatever you're doing, and read it. Cis and trans alike.

(In case you're wondering, most of the people in the linked image below are trans. But not all).

I don't know what autistic comrade needs to hear this, but you know that feeling you get when you're forced to play nice with that coworker you can't fucking stand?

You can make an NT person who favors indirect communication feel the exact same way by naming what they're not saying out loud.

If you are concerned about your data being used in the new data linkage study.

You can set the National Data Opt-Out. The EIA for The Gender Recognition (Disclosure of Information) (England) Order 2026 confirms both national + study-specific opt-outs will apply.

A photo inside the church facing the altar. There's a beautiful piece of art being the altar. It's in gold and blue and I think it's god looking towards the congregation. (But I'm an atheist and I'm not good with religious iconography.)

Question for my legal friends on here:

How is a GP practice declining to provide appropriate gender-affirming care for a trans patient NOT discrimination against the protected characteristic of gender reassignment?
