The real malevolence lies in denying transgender individuals access to necessary healthcare. Policing their identities undermines their rights and well-being. Transgender healthcare is not a 'cult'—it's about affirming human dignity and saving lives. #TransRights

The politicization of this area of health care is off the scale - and now frankly malevolent. Of course long-term data about outcomes are essential. And of course those data will benefit clinicians and patients. This cult must be defeated.

Happy #BiVisibilityDay ! Bisexuals are an integral part of the LGBTQ+ community and often face misunderstanding about their sexuality and face prejudice because of this. We see you, we love you and you are valid!

There is only one reason why anyone would purposely misgender a trans person: To abuse them. Accidental misgendering happens, and no one should be prosecuted for it. People shouldn’t, however, be able to purposely & knowingly misgender a trans person with impunity.

"Reasonable people" keep saying "don't worry unintentional misgendering" won't be punished. This entirely misses the point. We are calling men "men" and "he" intentionally. The intention is to be understood.

Trans women should not be segregated in hospitals that are underfunded, understaffed and have a lack of beds. There is zero evidence to suggest that trans women pose a threat to c|s women in any setting, including hospitals. This is just cruel and unnecessary.

@DreyfusJames James you couldn't be more wrong. The LGBTQ+ community is founded on solidarity and inclusivity. Attempts to divorce one part from the whole only weaken us opening up the chance to further infringe on L G B and T rights! Transgender rights are human rights, and any so-called

The UK Council for Psychotherapists withdrawing from the MOU on conversion therapy is harmful, undermines LGBTQ+ protections and fuels discrimination. Psychotherapy should support, not harm individuals. Upholding the MOU is crucial for safeguarding LGBTQ+ rights and mental health

Shocked and appalled does not even cover what I feel reading this announcement from @UKCP_Updates that it is withdrawing from the memorandum of understanding on conversion therapy. We need a vote of no confidence in UKCP Chair @DrBuckland & the Trustees now.

🚨 Stay tuned as we consider a follow up petition to oppose this harmful ban. Trans youth deserve support and access to necessary medical care, not additional barriers. Alternatively we’d love to support an existing petition if there is one too. #TransHealth #TransRightsMatter

Speaking for trans people on trans matters silences their voices and undermines their experiences. It's vital to listen, learn, and support their perspectives for true understanding and respect. Just because someone isn’t available doesn’t mean you should be #ListenToTransVoices

In response to critics: I only do interviews on trans issues when no trans person is available - to stop trans critics speaking unchallenged Or I agree to speak only if trans people also participate When I'm asked to do media or events, I always suggest trans campaigners
