Here is my latest paper, published today in the Journal of the Philosophy of Sport and co-authored with Dr Emma Hilton @fondofbeetles from Manchester University. I would like to thank @OpenUniversity for their ongoing support of my research tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

If you're going to oppose delivery of our manifesto pledges, you really shouldn't have put yourself forward as a Labour candidate.

The poor care highlighted in the investigation into WellBN has implications for welfare of young adults too, Hilary Cass told me. NHS prescribing data shows in 2024-25, WellBN issued prescriptions for male and female sex hormones to close to 1,100 young people under 25…

Hello all. A quick update from me. My sex screen assay is progressing well. I promised rapid: I can detect SRY from a cheek swab in about 30 minutes. I am currently testing whether I can drop it to 10 minutes without compromising reliability. I promised cheap: The current cost per assay is about £2. I am currently testing whether I can drop this to below the pound line, and it’s very promising. I promised accessible: The assay could be run by any grassroots sports coach, school nurse, and my Mum. I promised on-site: This is where my lab efforts are currently focussed. I’ve always held “from the UK to Uganda” as a principle, and ensuring easy deployment is crucial. I’m currently learning a lot of materials science… The other main push is setting up various blinded, larger-scale tests. This will require lots of form filling. If anyone wants to help me hit my final budget target, my crowdfunder is here.

This is seriously one of the worst medical scandals EVER. Prescribing irreversible drugs to children as young as under 13, without parental consent. from @michaelsearles_

The Brighton WellBN story just gets worse.

NHS: WellBN "must not resume offering specialist gender care to children... and that the Practice’s public facing materials must make this clear with immediate effect" WellBN: "there is no change to the care, treatment, or support our patients receive." genderblog.net/nhs-gender-do…

Well, that was a mistake.

“Every victory is painted as an act of aggression, rather than a reclaiming of what should never have been taken in the first place... We need to keep telling this story, the true one, until we have more than just the law on our side.” @glosswitch on Ponds unherd.com/newsroom/hampstea…

‼️Winners‼️ The Tronche Meylan women's basketball team is now the national championship title holder after they defeated Toulouse Métropole three weeks ago in the Ligue Feminine 2, a professional women's basketball league in France. Meylan's star player is a 43-year old man named "Aurore" Pautou. He lead the "women's" team in both points and rebounds. Pautou, with no prior high-level experience in the men's division and no collegiate record to speak of, walked onto a women's pro team at 38 years of age. With this title, Tronche Meylan has been promoted to the top tier of women's professional basketball in France for the next season.

For too long Reform UK have been playing a double game on the Equality Act 2010. They keep saying they will scrap the Act and yet somehow keep all women’s protections in law What about belief? What does this mean? A new Equality Act? Why aren’t they being asked about this?

Most of the teenagers harmed by these reckless zealots are lesbian or gay. This is the only Conversion Practice that is happening, at scale, in the UK.

It's good that the IOC has adopted sex-based eligibility rules for sex categories. (Duh) But women and girls have a *right* to single sex sport at *all* levels. There must be *zero* risk of this kind of assault.

"Rachel Cashman, who co-founded PSHE Brighton, says the stress of the situation had "ruptured" families, leaving some parents estranged from their children." "It's not just the medical damage, but the collateral damage for relationships and families" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c932…

It should be clear from these conclusions the Brighton WellBN was a service where GPs offered treatments considerably beyond their scope of expertise & practice. Their disregard for safety seems only to have been exceeded by their absence of thought.

💯💯💯Thank you, that fearless woman. Who knew we need @ForWomenScot more than ever.

I just love seeing strong women out there, setting an example for young girls. Showing fitness & determination. I just wish we could see more sports women in a variety of sports on our TVs. Not just programs centring looks & getting married on your first date!

The serious failings at the WellBN clinic in Brighton were known about for at least five years, while children continued to be put at risk of irreversible medical harms. @hannahsbee broke the story. newstatesman.com/politics/he…
