This is another Iranian woman who is about to be executed soon.

Every morning I write about someone Iran has just executed; within minutes, a message arrives from a mother, a sister, a friend, begging me to write about their loved one on death row. Before it's too late.

That's why I want to write before this young woman's execution, not after. Arghavan Fallahi. 24 years old. Evin Prison. Sentenced to death.

Judge Salavati, one of Iran's most notorious executioner judges, sentenced her on the charge of "Baghi," armed rebellion.

For months in solitary confinement, she was subjected to severe psychological torture and pressure to extract forced confessions. But she refused. So they sentenced her to death anyway.

Fellow female prisoners who were with Arghavan inside Evin say her situation is urgent. The torture has left her with severe psychological trauma and physical illness. She's not only facing the death sentence, she's suffering right now, inside that cell. But she's still alive and there's still time to save her life.

Please, join me and help us Iranians say her name now and demand that the international community and world leaders pressure that republic to halt her execution and those of other political prisoners.

🚨 WPATH has conceded in court that its "Standards of Care" is merely an opinion. WPATH says it represents one side of an unsettled scientific debate marked by uncertainty — and physicains & orgs that rely on WPATH as the standard of care must bear "independent responsibility."/1

Almost hourly news of brave kids being executed for standing up to one of the most evil regimes the world has seen. There could scarcely be a more clear cut case of right Vs wrong, good Vs evil. It is black and white.
And yet these horrors are resolutely ignored by the frivolous celebrity class who air ‘opinions’ only when they think those opinions are safe.
All those teary speeches and videos… all so performative, plastic and devoid of genuine compassion

These are Shervin Bagherian, Ali Dashti, Ghaem Hosseini, and Amirhossein Maleki, arrested during the January protests.

The Islamic regime intends to hang them at dawn.

Their lives can still be saved.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Tonight, people took to the streets in Isfahan، out of fear of public hanging of protesters.

They came out in the middle of the night because they knew what that crane in the square meant.

Dozens of Iranians are writing to me right now:

"Please ask the world to stop these executions."

Can you hear us, world?

@ArunaNambiar “Harpo speaks” by Harpo Marx was just lovely, proper laugh out loud funny in parts, and a book I come back to when I need a pick me up. It is out of print though so 2nd hand only.
I also loved “The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid” - warm and joyful.

Ultimately calling experts sticking up for vulnerable people “zealots” is reflective of the horribly bad-faith campaign advocates ran for a dangerous bill that posed intolerable risks to vulnerable people. It’s utterly graceless.

Iran executing children. Where is the outcry on my side of the political spectrum?

[Lenny Cornwall @lennycornwall]

It’s election time for @theBMA council, so time to hold your representatives to account. Remember when council voted to “critique” the Cass Review & set up a rapid review? Here’s what has happened. 1/n

They are some of the most influential members of @theBMA. May we should know their views before casting our votes. @DrKittyMohan @DrJohnChisholm @thomasdolphin @trentconsultant @NMJunction @DrIainKennedy @EmmaRunswick @Adam_Skeen @DocStrain @marie_tolan 11/end

The BMA council response to the Cass review was appalling. I will vote for any candidate who agrees with me (but you need to say so publicly).

Various factors identified here, except an important one. Presentation of neurodivergence will be dependent on the prevailing environment in which people live. Most of the rapid changes over the past 10 years have made life more difficult for neurodivergent people.

📢NHS England just published 10 new systematic evidence reviews on PB and CSH for binary and “non-binary” youth. Because of the weak evidence, the NHS paused new cross-sex hormones prescriptions and is conducting a 90-day consultation to review evidence for a potential permanent ban. /1
