If you see someone in public distressed, ask someone else to join you to see if they're alright. People do k*ll themselves at train stations, it's not stupid to suggest that you could save a life - but women, for goodness' sake, don't approach a man behaving 'off'. Too dangerous
💚 You can approach someone you're worried about. 💚 You can just ask a question and make small talk. 💚 You can just say 'Hello'. 💚 You can save a life. #SmallTalkSavesLives

On @BBCMoreOrLess this morning I was delighted to have the opportunity to debunk the most ludicrous claim I’ve yet been asked to address! John Campbell shared a video with his 2.9 million followers with claims of over 150,000 excess deaths compared to if no-one was vaccinated.

As a baby, I was abandoned and left to die. After hearing my cries, neighbours called the police. I recovered in hospital from malnutrition, dehydration. 1/5

Let me help out here as a former Executive Director of the EHRC. There is no intention to remove gender reassignment as a protected characteristic, nor should there be. Clarifying the EqA to redefine 'sex' as 'biological sex' restores women's rights to safety, decency, privacy.
It’s extremely distressing to see the UK’s equality watchdog, the EHRC, seeking to strip trans people’s rights from the Equality Act 2010. By redefining sex, they support removing the rights and protections trans people have had for over a decade 🧵

Thank you @sharrond62 & @BBCWomansHour. Sport achieves inclusion via categories: sex, age, para. Otherwise males disproportionately qualify, place, podium & win at all levels. So the discussion is always about transwomen in female categories. Since they are biological males. 1/
Thank you @BBCWomansHour it’s important we are allowed to talk opening, with science, with facts, with respect & civility for the equal rights for both sexes in sport, a totally physical activities.

American pediatric gender medicine has its first major whistle blower. This was inevitable. There will be more. Jamie is courageous beyond words. The things she has seen shock the conscience. These are kids. Enough. Enough. open.substack.com/pub/bariwe…

#worlddiabetesday and also two years to the day since I went to A&E thinking I was just a bit stressed & left three days later with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. This is what I’ve learned in two years of managing a chronic condition that most people think is a joke 🧵:

Major reductions in methane emissions can be achieved with known technologies and tried & tested policies. If all countries implemented these proven policies, it would cut global methane emissions from oil & gas operations in half. Learn more ➡️ iea.li/3wbIsqr
