The report uses the term "gender enhancing medications".
Is this a new term?
Are we all enhancing gender now?

The media are now picking up this story and reporting it as 'proven harm' to 78 young people.
This is an outrageous lie.
The 78 young people have benefitted from this care.
The harm has come from this ideological investigation, and the impending…

ANOTHER study (that I don't fully love but whatever) showing 97.1% of trans kids are still trans years later.
Yet a key "HARM" justifying the NHS' shocking medical detransition is failure to consider trans identity as "transient" and likely to be grown…

EHRC schools guidance is out. It is going to be terrible.
For those of us already having a shitty week, we don't need to engage right now.
I am going to not read this and try and recover from all the other terrible things before reading yet another.

I'm writing something on how the definition of clinical 'safety' or 'adverse events' differs for trans health compared to other areas of medicine. Who else has written on this topic & are there any good intro texts on how these concepts are defined in…

Trans adolescents accessing the only NHS route to healthcare (WellBN) have been through a stressful year long transphobic investigation.
For a year they have sat under the threat of forced medical detransition.
With significant negative impacts. 1/2

This post uses the term 'parallel regime' to describe how the EHRC code impacts on the 'employment code' (for workplaces) and 'school premises regulation' for schools. I've not seen anyone else post on this. Can anyone confirm & or comment on this idea?…

Love to see MPs really focusing on the key issues.
Here focusing on the *speed* of segregation and persecution.
The UK is fundamentally unsafe for trans people & this is what we get from MPs.
