Evidently travel data doesn’t travel as well as is assumed.

Surrey long Covid patients gaslit by medical professionals, study finds The University of Surrey study says patients faced "gatekeeping" of treatment from medical professionals.

These findings align with my experiences. I am not holding my breath (no pun) for any shift. #LongCOVID is being erased defunded and de problematisation. My clinic closed along with a couple of hundred others. I look forward to feeling better once my LTC no longer exists www.bbc.com/news/article...

LVSJ I hate them too. My ADHD traits became so much harder to manage when things started going open plan. The design of those spaces are always horrible, often the decor is some shade of mushy peas, terrible acoustics and neurotypical and extrovert traits seem to be exacerbated.

Probably too short notice now but I have asked my funder if I can move some of my budget about. Fingers crossed.

That’s great news. I am looking into funding and hope to apply in that case. I attended some hybrid courses last year and they were fine. As someone with a non-visible, energy limiting disability this option will help with my pacing practice.

Looking forward sharing and learning and seeing the sea

Glad that the proposed amendment came to nothing as predicted but still consider it important to challenge these attempts.

Moral Panic not over though. I still consider that it’s important to oppose these kinds of proposals. The GC purification project will continue to mutate and they are good at lobbying.

Please add me.

We're gathering a collective of UK data professionals (researchers, practitioners etc.) to fight efforts to make digital and data systems trans-exclusionary.

This weekend we will write to the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology 📝

Message me and I'll add you to the collective.

Statement on the EHRC guidance. The EHRC ‘guidance’ put out at 10pm last night is a bigoted attempt to segregate trans people in public spaces. It is almost certainly unlawful. Full statement on our website.

There’s a LOT of anger out there about the EHRC and government overreach into lgbtq lives this morning. Hold on to it and use it; don’t mourn, organise. We can beat them.

Resist over compliance and continue to challenge discrimination. Trans and non-binary people you are loved. Your lived experiences and identities matter. LGBTQ+ people stand together.
