"Most people, when their child is born, they're expecting it to check all the boxes on being a typical boy and a typical girl [...] the first time they find out that there's anything outside of this is when their child is born intersex" - Dr. Adeline Berry

My statement on the government's absurd and authoritarian proposal to proscribe Palestine Action.
Eleanor Drover retweeted
I’m honestly disappointed that you think so little of Iranian women especially after having supported us in the past. Reducing Iranians and Iranian women to victims of a regime while mocking entire nations from a place of smug superiority doesn’t make you an ally. It makes you part of the same arrogance we’ve been fighting all along. Iranian women are fighting for freedom and democracy not to trade one oppressive regime for a foreign flag and lost independence. We don’t want bombs, invasions, or fake saviors. We want our own voices to be heard, not hijacked by people who think liberation comes from the sky with a foreign logo on it and an oil contract.
Thanks for your support

‼️The first-ever intersex health report by HHS condemns non-consensual interventions on children.
"There is 'growing evidence that surgical interventions on intersex infants can cause lasting harm, including stigma and medical mistrust,' says the report.”

HUGE new article on intersex where researchers from the World Health Organisation FINALLY discourage sex normalising procedures on children. Hopefully it kickstarts a massive shift in WHO’s policies on this issue.

‘Instead of insisting that Imane Khelif is a “real” woman, we should ask how dichotomous ideas of gender have been solidified in the discourse that is being mobilised against her.’

This is illegal & outright misinformation.
Trans women have legal access to women-only spaces (with exceptions in proportionate circumstances, even with a GRC) under the Equality Act.
A GRC doesn’t give trans people access to spaces.
To remove this legal protection would be unnecessary and cruel.
The Labour Party proving once again that they’re no longer a party for LGBTQ+ people.
