Off the back of this @ValentinoInter says: 'Remarks stating that our Pride flag represents an ideology appears to show a lack of knowledge about human diversity' itv.com/news/2023-11-21/lgbt…

In 2019, Caster Semenya was told she could no longer participate in sport unless she took hormone suppressants. As a doctor, I find this unacceptable. Medicine is prescribed for the benefit of the patient's health - not because a sports committee dictates it. Genetic advantages are seen throughout the sporting world. 🏊‍♂️Michael Phelps has a super large wingspan and lung capacity. 🤸‍♀️Simone Biles is only 4ft8, allowing her to retain skills she's had since childhood (while other gymnasts have to re-learn new techniques as they grow.) 🏀Boban Marjanovic has the largest hands in the NBA, and is so tall he can dunk without jumping. Do we ask any of these athletes to retire? Do we ask them to undergo surgery to reduce their size? Do we ask them to take growth hormones, or drugs that alter their abilities? Absolutely not. The truth is, because testosterone is linked to gender identity, it has once again been forced into the spotlight by the press. While I'm relieved on the European Court's decision Semenya's rights were violated, it's a disgrace it even happened in the first place. Hopefully this can be an educational moment for everyone. 1 in 5 women have high testosterone levels. And genetic advantages are seen in all corners of the sporting world. Can we all start celebrating these incredible human beings, instead of trying to cut them out?

Thank you @Nancy_M_K for all you have done for our communities. When my Intersex-Inclusive Pride flag went viral in June 2021, I reached out to you for support and you immediately connected me with the right person to help. Thank you for being part of my journey 💛

Hey @Foyles, stocking a book that presents autism as something which is 1. Caused by vaccination (disproved, repeatedly) and 2. Is an epidemic that needs curing IN THE AUTISM SELF-HELP style section is a very bad look. This is the second time this has happened.

Today marks the 75th anniversary of Windrush arrival and soon it will be 75 years of NHS too. Amazing ppl like my Nana who arrived in the 1950s and who worked as a nursing auxiliary. They came from colonies hoping to start life afresh in the mother country.
