It wasn't a "Military Academy"—it was a reform school.
And that isn't an army uniform—it's a costume from a community theater production of "The Nutcracker."
Free Palestine from Hamas and free Lebanon from Hezbollah and free Iran from genocidal theocratic Nazis. Free America from Trump, free Russia from Putin and free Israel from Netanyahu.

The importance of this story is that how we make ourselves is far more important than how we are made. Genes, chromosomes and hormones are neither necessary nor sufficient to determine a person’s gender. The biology of sex is not deterministic and does predict the future.
Anyone who thinks that attacking Jewish children in a primary school is a justified response to the Middle East conflict is seriously deranged. Targeting children in a conflict wherever they are is wholly indefensible.
Imagine
Being barred from toilets
Denied life saving medication
Denied work opportunities
Barred from sport
Barred from clubs
Barred from changing rooms
Just for being yourself.
That's the reality for trans people in the UK.
Trans people are treated as sub human beings in the UK.
If you are talking to parties and candidates in your borough ahead of the Local Elections on 7th May, here are some suggestions for making streets and roads safer and more attractive for people who are walking and wheeling.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.
“The clinics and the diagnosis don’t have to exist.”
Take the time out to get into this hugely informative and prescient long read from @ludovicparsons.bsky.social about the history of our healthcare.
Our healthcare doesn’t have to and shouldn’t be this way.
Very excited to be appearing at Wembley Arena tomorrow night as part of Trans Mission.
100 per cent of the profits raised will be split between Not a Phase and the Good Law Project.

Basically they have excluded any evidence that hormone therapy is safe and well tolerated and then claimed that there’s no evidence that hormone therapy is safe, well tolerated and effective. We really need to see the study inclusion and exclusion criteria and why they excluded so much material.
It’s almost impossible to say. But they will almost certainly continue to authorise the use of human growth hormone and T and Oestrogen to accelerate linear growth and puberty in children with Downs Syndrome. No evidence to support this either but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Bonus link: young trans people are being attacked on all fronts, in education as well as healthcare. My recent post "Labour's Section 28 is here" explains more, and again provides advice on what you can do.
There are two things you can do right now to support young trans people in England.
1) Engage in political advocacy and community support. I've got *loads* of advice on this in my blog post and zine "But what can I do? How to fight the trans panic".
I've written a blog post about Isaac's crowdfunder, with some reflections on the massive inequalities inherent in this approach to healthcare - and the necessity of doing it anyway.
Hmmmm so his mother just happened to take a photo of him literally waving goodbye on the day of his death? For some reason I find this highly improbable and that’s because it is highly improbable. The photo is probably an AI fake. Iran intelligence is flooding social media networks with fake news.
🚶♂️🚶♀️ “I’m walking here.” MIT researchers, led by DUSP Professor Andres Sevtsuk, have created the first complete model of pedestrian activity in any US city — mapping sidewalks, crosswalks, and footpaths across all five boroughs of New York City.

The problem is that many people use international law to suit their own interests. They use it to defend the perpetrators rather than the victims. Iran perpetrated an atrocity against its own citizens but apparently its the state of Iran which is the victim of an unlawful act. That’s a problem.
Proximity restores health. As reported in The Lancet, walking 7,000 steps a day—about one hour—reduces major risks: cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, depression, and diabetes. Walkable proximity turns life into prevention, compressing morbidity and extending well-being.

Greetings from Kyiv.
I will never tire of praising its beauty.
March 1.
We made it.
We survived this winter.
It’s a good job Starmer hasn’t murdered 30 000 protesters on the streets of England. That would really give you something to think about.
Oh my God. How does this crap get published.
This is straight out of the Trump playbook. If you lose an election claim it was electoral fraud.
Hmmmm was it America that murdered 30 000 of its own citizens protesting against the Iranian theocratic fascist regime? Morally bankrupt does even begin to cover the genocidal fascist regime in Iran.
Oh dear. Have Owen Jones and Tony Greenstein just become members of the Green Party?
"The statement largely condems the EHRC.
It follows the outcome of the High Court judicial challenge of the EHRC Interim Guidance by the Good Law Project earlier this month."

Clive Lewis telling it like it is. Starmer and Streeting have alienated hundreds of thousands of Labour voters including disabled people and almost the entire LGBTQ community. Many of these voters have found a new home in the Green Party. The Tories are now defunct having lost their base to Reform.
