Parenting is always challenging, but for adopted people becoming a mum or dad can be extra demanding, as well as extra special, says UEA's Prof Beth Neil 👩‍👦 @swkuea @prof_beth_neil @ESRC #Parenthood #Parenting #Adoption #Family

current waiting list for ‘benign’ gynae is 3 years. hysterectomy is 2-3 years. laparoscopy surgery is 4 years. 3 months for MRI results. 10 weeks for a smear test. 10 years for endo diagnosis. they are distracting you from their incompetency with this. don’t fall for it.
Replying to @Conservatives
@Conservatives know what a woman is.   I know the vast majority of hardworking NHS staff and patients do too.   That is why I ordered a reversal of unacceptable changes to the NHS website that erased references to women for conditions such as cervical cancer. #CPC2023

We're pleased to welcome @Tesco announcement that they will be providing paid #KinshipCareLeave on a par with adoption leave for all #SpecialGuardians in their workforce. We hope that over time, the policy will be extended to all #KinshipCarers.

Roger Sylvester would have been 55 today. It’s hard to believe because I never got to know him past 31. No one did. Roger was a youth worker for Islington. He spent the day with his cousin Ann on 11 January 1999, helping at her phone shop in Tottenham. Then he walked home. 🧵1/

Is Twitter really dying just as I enter the writing up phase of the PhD? I'm so sorry, I may have wished this into being.
