Reading how the UK Girl Guides has treated a 6 year old child is beyond heartbreaking. This story should be published everywhere except we know the mainstream news would never dare.

This is insane, but expected thanks to all that βclarity.β
Theyβre so desperate to call the success of puberty blockers a problem and refuse to acknowledge for even a moment the distress caused by not being on them.

I donβt know what to say. She is very obviously not against teens transitioning or taking puberty blockers. She quite candidly speaks about both these issues in our interviews and the piece on her site that is linked above. π€·πΌββοΈ
Dr. Bowers's comments were taken out of context, she supports youth transition but believes some natal puberty can aid future surgeries. Her views come from medical expertise, not opposition to care. She talked about it in the interview and on her website

In an attempt to reduce the amount of recycling we create, we have started using Lush shampoo bars and solid cosmetics.
It's not the first time Red has tried this and she found an unidentified bar in the cupboard. Can anyone tell us what Red has just washed herself with?

While the US SC got their knicks in a knot over trans care, we spoke with someone who remains fearless: past WPATH Pres, gender-affirming pioneer, Trevor Proj and GLAAD board member, and more, Dr Marci Bowers. She had THIS to say about Trump appointee ACB π. Listen now, only at The JTC. dub.sh/tuck
The rot in the EHRCβs leadership goes far beyond the Chair. Exposed through FOIs, the bias of the Baroness turned a once heralded navigator of complex equality issues into a GERM-ridden genocidal machine. Well done @tacc.org.uk for shining a light up a very dark passage.

The clock runs out at midnight to respond to the EHRC consult, such as it is. Just filled in my own with this shortcut thanks to the GLP. It will only take you 5 to 10 mins if the dive into the full one is too soul-destroying, and the focus is on what it means to you.

The evidence of any significant risk is so minimal that other gender identity services and professionals around the world have already discounted it.- Yet Cass and the government appear to have decided that this unquantified, unevidenced and minimal risk of something very minor is worth the absolute certainty, evidenced here, of the psychological damage, stress, anxiety and physical harm it will cause to thousands of children, as well as the increased risk of assault, bullying, social withdrawal and the likelihood of its victims falling behind in their schoolwork.

This was, simply put, the eradication of trans people from the country's social fabric. Most people cannot take a job if they have to out themselves to their colleagues whenever they need the loo. They will not go to a restaurant or the theatre or attend trade union meetings or go to church or see their child in a school play. The toilet issue is at once stupefyingly banal and yet existential.
Ian Dunts' latest substack is a wonderful summary of Faulkners grilling by the Women and Equality Select Comission and picks apart the EHRC guidance and highlights why workplaces could be open to legal action if they follow it. A must-read for every UK trans.
