Scottish Government's New Guidance Counters the Myth of "Irreversible Damage" Scottish Government and NHS Scotland have published new patient information for trans and non-binary patients considering fertility preservation by egg freezing.

"This new guidance by the Scottish government highlights how much the gender critical use hyperbole, fear and a distortion of facts to terrify other parents into preventing their child from receiving the healthcare they need."

Sir, I have good news and bad news. The good news is the Greens are taken more seriously than every before, with surging membership and attention. The bad news is that includes some absolute weapons grade roasters who should otherwise have disappeared into Your Party oblivion.

The whole political edifice being used to target trans people & trans kids is a national scandal, and has been for the last 5 years.

Weve an NHRI thats actively opposed to human rights for trans people, and NHS failing adults & doing conversion abuse on kids, all enabled by Tory, now Labour hate.

Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised β€˜trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Will she even say it to him?

Labour MPs say this stuff from time to time to get a cheer, but they simply aren't standing up in the commons saying to the government: "This is wrong and we shouldn't be doing this shit to a vulnerable minority."

Until they do, properly, all of them are complicit.

He only quit the Greens after he was suspended for transphobia. A matter of days ago, he was claiming that the Greens want to dish out "puberty blockers like confectionery."

What despicable little man.

Darren Johnson has made a conscious decision to join a…

-racist,
-transphobic,
-xenophobic,
-ableist,
-anti-refugee,
-anti-rights,
-pro-genocide,
-extremist far right
-legacy…

…party with no integrity, credibility or purpose.

He should get on well with Streeting, Starmer & Mahmoud.

"Left Greens and joined Labour" is a weird way of writing he was suspended and kicked out for being a bigot.

Hoax about litter boxes in schools for kids who identify as furries, debunked The urban myth come-internet hoax about US teachers putting litter boxes in classrooms is still being talked about, but how did this start?

"The urban legend resurfaced once more this week when MAGA pastor Tony Suarez claimed in eastern Tennessee there are β€œkitty litter boxes in the public schools for the girls that identify as furries”."

Every Closet has its Price This article is a bit different from my usual in that it is a personal reflection on how I feel about passing, being a visibly trans person, and living stealth.

"And now I have to decide whether to tell anyone. Whether to remain in the closet I have woken up in, or to step out of it. "

Female athletes must pay Β£185 to prove their sex
Matt Lawton - Chief Sports Correspondent
British female track and field athletes are being asked to pay Β£185 for a sex test if they want to compete internationally.

World Athletics requires all athletes to take an SRY gene test before competing in the female category at major championships and Diamond League events to guarantee fair competition by excluding trans and DSD (differences of sex development) competitors.

Before the World Championships in Tokyo last September, World Athletics gave $100 per test for the thousand or so female athletes needing one. More money will be provided by the international federation for this year’s World Junior Championships.

But British women have been advised by UK Athletics (UKA) to pay for the test themselves, urging them to have the cheek swab, which indicates the presence of a Y chromosome, β€œas soon as possible to avoid delays around selection”. However, some women have complained it is unfair when the test is not required for men.

UKA has a hardship fund to pay for the test and will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. But the situation is symptomatic of a national federation already facing financial challenges, made worse by UK Sport cutting its funding for this Olympic cycle. While almost Β£32 million was given to the relatively niche sports that won five medals at last month’s Winter Olympics, athletics has had its funding cut from Β£22.18 million to Β£20.45 million despite winning ten medals in 2024.

It was only last year UKA returned to some form of financial stability, posting a profit of Β£107,588. But it is now facing a big fine after admitting corporate manslaughter over the death of Abdullah Hayayei, who died in 2017 after a metal cage fell on him while he was training for the World Para Athletics Championships in London.

β€œeffects of hormone treatment on fertility are often reversible, there are many cases where trans people have stopped hormone treatment and been able to fall pregnant naturally, and havehealthy babies.”

Making just women (no uch tests for the men) to basically prove we are considered weak and feeble enough to be considered "women" in a sporting sense is disgusting and degrading.

I'd love to see a boycott but it won't happen because people hate women abd our sports

The party has caused the death of many trans people. Avoidable deaths. Too late to ask for forgiveness now. From me you will get none.

Actions speak much louder than words. The actions of the UK Labour Party towards trans people have been utterly abhorrent.

Our lawyers will be writing to the Secretary of State imminently in connection with his decision to act on 'evidence' that was clearly biased and ascientific.

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?
