if nothing else it's very funny to say you want to get rid of english degrees two days after you give everyone chocolate with "britian" written on it

So you're saying wrestling is written by Stan Lee?

And then the gov should be shut down and kicked out (while the child remains somewhere safe) cos only inhumane asshats haven't already banned conversion therapy.

It's like she (and everyone outside of the US) can see what many Americans can't, or refuse to believe. The US is DOA, it is no more, it has expired in extremely inevitable circumstances and, what must be so astonishing for Putin etc is that you did it to yourselves. Voluntarily.

is it always the same presenter too?

I dunno.. for me the fact this is even a question is proof absolute there is no god.

there's a direct line between 'there is an overdiagnosis of gender dysphoria so we must restrict healthcare' to 'there is an overdiagnosis of mental health and neurodivergence so we must restrict healthcare' and i refuse to take any pundit seriously who doesn't acknowledge it.

Just in case you are curious - and my God you should be - about the dude Wes Streeting and others are handing loads of public data contracts to. 👇

Trans people have been here as long as humans have existed. We pre-date Christians by millennia. They’re the ones with the f’ing ideology. 🤬

What I'm yet to see is anyone explaining just exactly what it is we're supposed to be proud of?

It seems like these "mistakes and atrocities" have been the one and only constant in the history of England since its founding. There has been brilliance from individuals but the "country"? Nope.

"Labour are to commission a report..."

7 is being very generous!

This is so true... You cannot RECLAIM the English flag for "good people" because GODD PEOPLE NEVER HAD THE ENGLISH FLAG. Only the ignorant of English foreign policy for the last 1000 years could ever consider the English flag to have ever represented "good" in the world.

Labour : "We have built a very strong, inclusive and tolerant society, in which no able bodied, neurotypical, fully employed, cis het white man with a traditionally English name must ever feel the desperation of believing he isn't absolutely correct about and entitled to everything."

I think he'd very much enjoy such a fun and educational pass time, there's a lot of history and boating innovation that has occurred on Lock Ness, especially with relation to the cryptic conundrum. He'd be very lucky to spend a day or so on the "hunt". 😁

can I just point out you've one of the deepest waterways in the world up there and wee wooden boats that occasionally spring leaks... Please, please dont add 2 n 2 together....

WOw, I've never seen him look so sane in a photo! Just goes to show the Beeb will go to any length to try to make transphobes look good.

"Tory austerity"

I agree with your sentiment, but this is just shockingly gaslighting of you given LABOURS doubling down on "Tory austerity" and the increase in poverty since LABOUR took power. You can't adopt it, extend it and still blame the others for it.

"oh I'm sure this room full of grasping techbro finance types will definitely not tell anyone about this thing I'm inexplicably telling them for no reason other than to signal I'm open for business in the extremely unethical sense"

The Green Party just voted to reform trans healthcare. What does this bold new policy look like? Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

What we're calling for: - The end of segregation in trans healthcare. - Ending the torture of conversion therapy. - Moving the NHS to an informed consent model. - Expanding the range of funded transition care. - Access to affirming healthcare for trans youth. - NHS support for people who seld-medicate or use private care. - Real support for detransitioning people. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

How we get there: - Closing the existing Gender Identity Clinics and supporting GPs with training and funding to care for trans people. - Lifting the politically motivated ban on 'puberty blockers'. - Starting a government funded, trans-led, inquiry into past NHS treatment of trans people. - Including & prioritising trans expertise in independent care reviews. - Passing a trans-inclusive ban on 'conversion therapy'. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

We don't have to accept the status quo. Trans greens logo in the middle with the text "Trans Greens" with "Greens for Trans Liberation" underneath. Why not read the full policy? Link in the next post. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Green Party Conference recently passed some amazing healthcare policy for the trans community. It commits us to an informed consent model of trans healthcare, a trans-led public inquiry into NHS care, a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy, and so much more.

‘The chancellor appeared to be referring to the little whirlpool ramshorn snail, which is 5mm in diameter, and one of the rarest creatures in Britain’..: Environmentally sound policy then🌍

Its time the NHS stopped lying to trans people seeking help.

Wait times listed on GIC websites are how long people have already waited.

They do not estimated wait times, and you can see why..

Voice coach session in 5 minutes and guess what? The cold I have and congestion and coughing it is causing has meant that I've actually lost my voice... So that should be fun!! 😂

I love the autumn so much but by 'eck does it make itself felt in just the most inconvenient way sometimes!

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

heh I just knew Reece would be one of them... Dunno why... But I knew!! 😁

It's just so bad the things that they have to ask. It's very 70's cis het male psych fetishist. It's shocking in this century that any medical establishment would allow it, never min insist on it. But then I remember it aint so long ago they were sticking needles into peoples brains to calm them...

yea I was asked earlier this year. Amongst other totally unrelated stuff. The dr's have to tick the boxes and from talking to some people it frustrates and angers a lot of them as much as it does us.

The Hampstead Heath ponds debate sets a dangerous precedent for trans rights Trans rights are being debated, again.

“Another degrading possibility… is to allocate times during which the ponds will be trans-inclusive.”

Imagine scheduling time to “allow” black, disabled, lesbian, or Jewish women to use the pond - outside of that time, they’d be banned because of the ‘feelings’ of a group of privileged white women!

Because they split to better represent the country they are in. They have their own leadership which makes them "separate", just like Scottish Labour. They didn't form in isolation any more than any of the other UK wide parties.
