There is not a single headline across British media about this.
A major medical academic has been outed from a Government institution and major medical trial due to aggressive bigotry on his social media and... silence.
Absolutely brazen institutional complicity.
There is no proper legal framework for use of #FacialRecognition technology known to be biased.
"Far higher rate of false positives for black (5.5 %) and Asian (4.0 %) faces than for white faces (0.04 %)"

"Professor Jacob George is recused from *further* involvement on the Pathways clinical trial as a precaution.”
Am pleased they admit he was involved. But you can't cure bias after the fact and our lawyers will be writing to the MHRA about its ascientific 'concerns' about the trials.

I want to see whether three deletable posts on X turn into substantive reporting in the mainstream media or whether it’s all just going to be quietly swept under the carpet so that the public will just be left with the narrative that “the unethical puberty trial has been halted” 😠😠😠

The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Hearing from my @womensinstitute.bsky.social connection that members of 50+ years are quitting in disgust at the reason they are being asked to confirm they are female on a form they never had to sign before. NFWI doesn’t care. These fantastic ladies are now just collateral damage to them. #TERFs

I feel like we're going backwards on this, and 25 years ago there was fairly widespread acceptance that some parents are bad
Eg "don't out LGBT teens to their possibly homophobic families, it's dangerous" was policy everywhere, I think?

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives
If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!
This has just dropped. Central and Easten Europe and of course UK make for grim reading. Shrinking civic spaces, entrenchment of the binary, targeting of trans, intersex and non-binary people, education as anti-LGBTQ+ battlegrounds, attacks on bodily autonomy ... all this under a Labour Government.

No surprise to see the UK listed alongside Hungary and Georgia as the shittiest places in Europe to be trans.
But remember, dignity and respect and clarity 🙄
Important journalism by @sasha98.bsky.social, one of very few news outlets actually capturing the severity of the threat to trans children in the draft school guidance.

Girlduiding and Women's Institute say the law forces them to exclude trans women. But that's not true.
We are offering to indemnify them against legal risk if they change course.
If they remain trans exclusive, their members can know it's management's ideological choice.
Streeting would like to stop the PB trials completely, but that would leave him wide open to challenge.
So he’ll do the next best thing, and make the trials completely useless, under the pretence of ‘safety’.
