Screenshot of contact form to rcpsych.ac.uk Enquiry topic * Policy Message * I would like a name and address to write to, to complain about some RCPsych members being central in NHS delivery of gender related care for trans people, when gender incongruence is not recognised as a mental health condition in ICD 11 and is now recorded as aβ¦
(end of screenshot) β¦condition of sexual and reproductive health. I look forward to hearing from you. Submit
I said Iβd do this ages ago, but at least Iβve made a start this afternoon.
Iβm complaining that RCPsych members have pivotal roles in βtreatingβ (gatekeeping) gender incongruence when the International Classification of Diseases ICD-11 states, gender incongruence is NOT a mental health disorder.

Information about new NHS guidance on changing your gender marker on your medical records from OUTpatients the UKβs LGBTQI + cancer charity.
It offers more choice but problems remain.
It warns that a new i marker will out you.

The only reason the EHRC is witholding publication of its minutes is because we've previously used them to show the depth of collusion & conflicts of interest with anti trans groups & legal efforts under Falkners regime.
Thats clearly continuing.
Anti-trans group set up by 4 mums "has *dozens* of members nationwide" and gets a big write up in the Telegraph.

I'm on a waitlist and by the time its time for me to be next in line i'll be 40 and likely too crippled to make appointments.
Its not easy.
The EHRC's withholding of board minutes is clear; transparency is not its intention. Something that an NHRI should be upholding as part of its duties.
We have sent an email to the EHRC asking for clarity on this matter.

A school faces a threat of legal action over policies that protect all children β so weβre fighting back.
https://goodlaw.social/a8mo
There's an astonishing cruelty in trying to make the world even more hostile for trans kids by suing schools that want to include them. But that's where 'gender critical' Britain is.
We're acting for a school that is being sued - and we could really use your help with funding.
On Monday (January 26), the Sussex Uni Students for Reform society shared a social media post claiming that members had received an βunprecedented level of hostilityβ. It said it would be writing to the university calling for incidents to be investigated further.
'We have free speech to push hate but you don't have free speech to object' is so very Reform. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2581285...

The Metropolitan Police is facing a Β£5million bill for new toilets and changing rooms for its 12 transgender staff. Following a legal challenge over the rights of transgender people, Britain's largest police force has assessed the cost of dedicated transgender facilities. The Good Law Project argued that guidance that single-sex toilets should only be used by people of the same biological gender breached the rights of transgender people.
The guidance was temporarily withdrawn after the claims, and the Met Police have since calculated the costs to fit new toilets. 'The overall cost of providing new toilets and changing spaces for transgender people at stations and main police buildings is conservatively estimated to be Β£5million,' one source told The Sun of the Met's financial assessment. 'There would also be a Β£300,000-a-year bill for maintenance.' It comes as Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said his already overstretched force has faced 'eye-watering cuts' with the force plugging a Β£260million funding gap. Retired Met chief superintendent Simon Ovens said: 'Most of the Met estate is old and not easily converted. At a time of withering financial cuts, spending Β£5million on such things is frankly ridiculous.'
Quite accidentally, the Daily Mail has given a striking example of the vast compliance cost of the EHRC's guidance: Β£5m plus Β£300k pa for the Metropolitan Police alone. And there is no evidence that any of it is necessary.
