Feeling childishly happy that Maya Forstater and Julie Bindel were in the crowd when I ad libbed both my TERF comment and @transparentaction plug for affirming parents.

Full speech here with subtitles.

There was a palpable shift in the room. A kind of hushed roar for Alice. It was very special.

Trans or Non-Binary?

Need a holiday?

Can you get yourself to Brodick, Isle of Arran, on the 1st May 2026?

If so - you could join @essehouse.bsky.social for the first EsseCamp of 2026, the free to attend wildcamping activity weekends for the trans and non binary community.

Sadly, because of Starmer and his cabinet of robots doing their best to appease the frothing far right by F*ing over trans people, immigrants and others, many are reduced to having faith in the least worst party leader. Even if that means he lied about something stupid he did over a decade ago.

It's always amusing when bigoty older people think it's a flex to have not heard of very popular artists.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

We have written to Wes Streeting over the fact that his decision to pause the trial seems to have been based entirely on a letter whose author has now been recused due to bias.

I've just seen a TikTok about gay men not being allowed to donate blood in Panama, as if it's a human rights scandal that's not the same in the UK and the US πŸ˜…

It baffles me why any union remains affiliated at all with a party that's so at odds with their principles.

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

Absolutely excellent article here from @erininthemorning.com summarising, in plain terms, the terrible methodological failures of this evidence review.

Abandoning pets is just extremely on brand for people who move to Dubai and brag about avoiding tax.

I'm so sorry to hear this. On your comment about the waitlist - have you chased it up recently? I chased up my referral in October 2025 and was told I'd been discharged August 2023 because my questionnaires weren't received on time. Gutted.

It's because these things are reliant on self-reported traits for diagnoses/labelling. Right wingers presume people are inclined to lie about themselves!

I was taken off a 'two year waiting list' because they didn't receive my questionnaire responses by a deadline I wasn't told about. They didn't even tell me I'd been discharged August 2023 until I asked what was happening in October 2025. This is absolute BS.

I can't even bring myself to read the fucking article if I'm being real with you. It took me FIVE YEARS to get my first diagnosis and now I'm awaiting a second NHS one.
This is not for some fun personality quirk. ADHD is fucking horrible.

I'd have more respect for them if they'd defected before the Gorton and Denton by-election.
