Sicily, today. A reminder that #climate system is indifferent to politics, negotiations & diplomacy. As it heats, this will get worse and worse until societies are overwhelmed & thrown in to a desperate scramble for survival. It’s really that simple.

🏳️‍⚧️ | The Labour Party has betrayed trans people today and you can read our statement on Wes Streeting's announcement this afternoon. Trans people deserve better than this. prideinlabour.org.uk/post/we-condem…

A plea to Wes Streeting - in recent years, Labour has always championed mental health, please do not change that. Suicide is the leading cause of death among men aged 35-49 and for men and women aged 20-34 years I know times are tough, but we have to prioritise mental health

🧵Access to puberty blockers for young trans men and women has now been banned in the UK because of concerns about a lack of evidence regarding their impact - but the study to address this has not yet started. If we are to be led by clinical data not the culture wars in 1/2

Outright ban on puberty blockers for young people with gender dysphoria is a dark day. What is the alternative support? CAMHS already on its knees. There is a balance needed to meet needs for any group - for this group, the balance is now firmly pushed against them.

Thank you so much British Geriatrics Society for this #BGSRisingStar award! It’s a hugely exciting time to be doing research to better support people living with frailty and long-term conditions. Very grateful for the award, and to the many who have supported me to far.

Brilliant news - very well deserved Peter Hanlon

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and

I suppose it's too much to hope that the second point from the UK Supreme Court will be heeded 'He counsels not to see this as a triumph for one side over another and stresses the law still gives trans people protection against discrimination.' #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Today's ruling says this is NOT a win, and stated that nothing changes in protection of trans people. Goes further to say that trans people are covered under sex discrimination of the gender they align with. No laws or protections are changed by this ruling.

If a sports centre now decided a transwoman couldn't use a female changing room because they were born male, surely a transman would have to move to the female changing room? I've rarely seen that discussed by those celebrating today's ruling. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Today’s ruling may be an attempt to assault our human rights - but I’ve always been so impressed by the solidarity our community always shows. ✊🏾 Today is not a nice day - whatever you do, do not do it alone 💚🏳️‍⚧️ SUPPORT RESOURCES LINKED BELOW⬇️
