Before I joined WTT, I used to stream, including a longer charity stream on mother's day cus it's a struggle for some (also for me lol) and we're trying to bring it back
I'd also buy this guy some treats and feed him when we hit goals... You wouldn't want him to get no treats right? 😥
I mention my tattoo in this ep, so here it is (as much as I'll show publicly 👀)
It's the path of my chronic pain (one of), the tat is a reclamation of sorts/honouring that. Also spot the all bruises that's a hEDS thing, the finally known cause of said pains lmao #disability #ehlersdanlos
When we saw it in our photos looking an article image we immediately knew it was the perfect one so thank you for making it!
The pressure on the EHRC is continuing to mount as more and more organisations speak out...
Fun fact, the script for this episode was nearly 11,000 words (that's not including notes beforehand and previous drafts)
This is still shorter than Levy, and dare I say a smidgen more fun to listen to 🤭
Wdym you can always tell when I've authored a post on WTT?
🆕 The Darlington Nurses were not harassed by a trans colleague but a court rules trans women in single-sex spaces "violates dignity"
It goes against two rulings that say otherwise 🤔
Understand what this means for Trans+ rights in tomorrow's QueerAF newsletter

Still not seen the full judgment, but notably the ET dismissed the harassment claim against Rose Henderson, the trans woman in the Darlington Nurses case.
Yet another trans woman who has been publicly demonised after doing nothing wrong.
@ashleigh.whatthetrans.com asked me to do something silly, and of course I obliged 😇
So if you dodge the kings speech like I do here's your alternative lmao
There's nothing quite like a silly little side project to remind you why you do the things you do 🥲
5/ What do the experts say?
“At its heart, it maintains and reinforces a system built on clinical control of and power over trans communities,” Dr Horton tells QueerAF.
“There is no effort to improve accountability. No recognition of institutional transphobia. No recognition of clinical violence”
The Levy Review: A scathing audit of NHS Trans+ healthcare that isn’t radical enough to fix the problems.
@wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com take a first look at the long-awaited review into adult gender services in the UK 🧵
Reporting by @vic-parsons.bsky.social
It is a sign of how fundamentally abused and traumatised trans communities are in the UK that many folks are responding to Levy with relief and cautious welcome.
It could have been a lot worse.
But it fundamentally fails to deliver meaningful improvements to trans healthcare. 1/4
We're on it 🫡
Saw bad spin, made a meme about it lol
Did you know a study found prostate tissue can develop in some trans men when on HRT? Cus I didn't!
This ep is particularly cool because I got a chance to speak with Zine maker Dion Nolan about his Zine "Sex with Trans Men" a topic not spoken about enough! Go learn!
PHAHAHAA They printed the quiet part out loud and she started backpedaling like roadrunner
