"An Open Letter to the Surgeon Who Removed My Breasts. I have lived every day for the last seven years with the physical and psychological wreckage you left behind.

Untill there is recognition in law, that affirmation of a "trans identity" can cause genuine, lasting harms, there will be no justice. Fascinating thread @ErinFriday75490

🇦🇺 The Australian Federal Court doesn't know the difference between men & women, boys & girls Difficult to believe, yet true Stalwart campaigner @salltweets has applied for permission to bring the Giggle V Tickle discrimination case to the Australian High Court Surely a win?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish Govt gives £3.9million of taxpayer money to the org Scottish Trans over the past decade. Scottish Trans then fund a lobbying campaign for MSPs to oppose the @EHRC guidance on access to single sex spaces. We note women's groups haven't received £ millions. Nor have groups providing support to detranstioners received £ millions. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

The chilling effect is most clear when you look at what happened to Ken Zucker. In 2015 Dr Ken Zucker got sacked from his position since 1981 as clinical lead of the gender services in Canada. When Zucker was taken down, he was known to be the most respected world expert on gender issues in kids. Consequently, clinicians across the world immediately silenced themselves. The thinking was that if trans activists could take down Zucker then they could take down anyone. I’ve heard GIDS clinicians from the Tavistock describe how the news of Zucker being sacked caused shockwaves at GIDS. Zucker later won $586000 in compensation from the clinic but the damage was done. The same chilling effect happened when the @IrishTimes pandered to trans activists in the student union in 2021. Journalists across Ireland released that if the Irish Times were toeing the line, then it’d be a brave fool who went against this. (From then on I became blacklisted from the Irish mainstream media but luckily my work was valued elsewhere). Then the following summer, June 2022, Joe Duffy allowed himself to be silenced by @rte and that was the death knell to free thought about trans issues in the Irish mainstream media. Again the thought process was that if Joe Duffy could be silenced - and he could - then anyone could be. Just like Ken Zucker with gender therapy, the impact sent shockwaves through Irish journalism. Sadly, rather than having the integrity to admit they’ve been silenced, the Irish journalists now try to keep their self-respect by pretending that they just have other more important things to write about. It’s insult upon injury but this is where we are

Journalist Hannah Barnes has written a detailed account of the Brighton GP clinic recently criticized for providing inadequate care to children. Hannah raised concerns back in 2024 in her book, "Time to Think." "One parent, who contacted the NHS and the GMC three years ago after learning their 16-year-old child was being prescribed hormones, told the New Statesman: “The tragedy isn’t that nobody knew. The warnings were known, the prescribing was celebrated, and institutional curiosity went missing precisely when it was needed most.” Another, parent whose attempted legal action against WellBN helped trigger the investigation, said: “There is nothing worse than witnessing someone inflict damage upon your child. What has happened here is profound harm: the stripping away of a child’s health, a normal youth, and their future of a fulfilled adult life." In the financial year 2024-25, WellBN issued prescriptions for masculinising and feminising hormones to close to 1,100 young people under the age of 25. Some as young as 12-14.

Very promising update from developmental biologist Emma Hilton. Her affordable, quick, portable, simple, cheek swab sex test is progressing apace. A potential boon to sports teams and organisations worldwide. Go @FondOfBeetles !
