Happy #PrideinLondon day!

Wishing everyone an amazing time, especially all of paramedics, nurses, doctors, midwives + many others on NHS floats. I know London will give you a big cheer!

Thanks also to the emergency service teams who are working and keeping us safe #LoveIsLove

🚨I’m looking for people to handover this account to🚨

Since I started in 2012, there is now @NHSC_LGBTQ and @TransNHS

If interested in the handle @NHSLGBT, message me setting out the reasons why by 29 July 2022

Only non-monetary requests from those with H&SC LGBTQ+ interests

[Trans Activism UK @TransActivismUK]

The Queen's speech confirmed that there is no trans conversion therapy ban.

Not only that, but they've added an exclusion that means it's not a ban if the person "consents" to conversion therapy.

No-one consents to conversion practices. They are coerced.

This is a mess.

NHS guidance on single-sex services and spaces has served staff well for many years

Written by a CNO for England, it’s based on individual needs and inclusion

The muddied @EHRC guidance adds nothing. It’s appeasement of objectors to Trans rights, potentially harms Trans people

Why do I do queer history?

Well, during #LGBTHM22 the quote that keeps coming back to me, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, is by Ancient Greek poet Sappho:

‘Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us…’

Shout out tonight to all the NHS Chief People Officers/ HR Directors and their teams who are doing a really tough job handling VCOD, the human emotion it brings, the legal aspects and a Govt that changes its mind. Collateral damage is huge.

“I sat down, played a C chord, threw my head back and sang the first two lines of Something Inside So Strong. I realised I was writing about my life as a gay man and I found myself crying.”

Justice for LGBT veterans. No more delaying, too many have already died: restore their pensions and compensate missed contributions, strike off their criminals records for “homosexuality”, remove their dishonourable discharges, and give back their medals! https://t.co/AqQ4Fk08ki

A true trailblazer of the trans community has left us. April Ashley MBE was the definition of grace and humility, despite having fought hard throughout her life for her place in society.
A true queen. Gone, but never forgotten. Rest in power.❤️🏳️‍⚧️

First they came for the students, and I did not speak out—because I was not a student.

“…the university seems to place the hypothetical opportunity for some staff members to challenge and diminish trans identities over the safety and wellbeing of its students”

A doctor’s letter or a report is mandated to change the sex on your passport. Yet illogically Lord Reed at @UKSupremeCourt says the sex on that identity document is not a particularly important facet of the appellant’s identity; dismissing their case for a gender neutral passport

Judgment has been handed down this morning in the case of R (on the application of Elan-Cane) (Appellant) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Respondent) – UKSC 2020/0081

The @metpoliceuk made prejudiced assumptions about gay men and mishandled the serial killings by Stephen Port. None of the officers accused of homophobia were disciplined. None referred for misconduct by the @policeconduct. Five went on get promotions https://t.co/aJbnK47H6D

Showing how our diversity intersects with degrees of power within different social hierarchies, illustrates simply how power influences our life chances and how it maintains othering and social marginalisation. Thanks to @YourEDIDude for highlighting this resource
