Freedom to shut up

The Vagina Museum Board of Trustees response to the UK Supreme Court ruling In light of the UK Supreme Court ruling, the Board of Trustees of the Vagina Museum wish to express their unequivocal support of and solidarity with their trans staff, volunteers, community partners, visitors and wider audience. From the outset, the Vagina Museum has always been trans inclusive. An important part of its mission around spreading knowledge and raising awareness of gynaecological anatomy and health has been to challenge normative assumptions around our bodies and how they may or may not be connected to experiences of gender, gender expression and broader sexuality. In doing so, we highlight that sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation and other characteristics related to sexual identity exist in various different combinations and their relationship to one another is never clear cut. What is clear to us is that everyone, regardless of their body parts, are deserving of human rights, dignity and the power to identity as they wish to.

Just as we act as a forum for women’s reproductive health and rights from a feminist, inclusive and intersectional perspective; we will continue to advocate for trans+, non-binary and queer communities and rights. We cannot talk about feminism unless our feminism includes trans folks. We cannot talk about reproductive rights without trans rights. We cannot advocate for human rights without trans rights. The ruling comes amidst an increasingly frightening climate for trans people in the UK and globally. We will continue to abide by our values, and ensure that the Vagina Museum remains a space in which trans people are included, welcomed and celebrated. In solidarity.

A statement from the Board of Trustees of the Vagina Museum regarding trans inclusion.

Screenshotted reddit post: Can a clitoris be trained to read braille? The average clitoris has around 10,000 nerve endings while the average finger has 3,000. So, one clitoris should be able to read braille better than three fingers or three times faster than one finger?

We've been receiving a lot of requests for us to answer this crucial question, and we are delighted to attempt to provide you with the information you need as to whether you can read braille with your clit.

That is bad medicine. Either you need to do the test based on history and examination, or you do not.

I am sorry, what now? I am not American, so bear with me, but your president is trying to deny citizenship to the literal original NATIVE (does he know what that means?) indigenous people of the USA? He isn't very bright, is he?

Chilling out listening to music and crocheting

Yes

That urgent action should be Labour deciding to fund employment for the thousands of unemployed GPs rather than faffing around with Pharmacy first and PAs and ARRS and everything but actually allowing people to see a doctor in primary care

Or tuck her shirts in properly!

Sometimes it's quite obvious when reviewing applications that people's hearts are not in a particular specialty (in fact one interviewee for haem kept giving answers related to renal, genuinely I think had forgotten which specialty panel they were in front of that day!)

Why does it look American?

Very late starting too,any of us had already had flu by the time the vaccines were rolled out at work

Awful that a disease which had reduced so significantly is on the rise again due to the trend for posh kitchens and inadequate education about risk!

I like your recommendations. Will definitely check it out

After 14 years of pay cuts, doubling of pension contributions AND NHS pension raids by the Treasury, how does "Go fuck yourself" sound?

I will never forget a dude turning up in VT (not his first episode) having finished his curry and 6 pints of beer first ("I thought it might just stop"). Selling that to the anaesthetist so I could cardiovert was "fun"

Do you guys do sip to send in the USA now or still do very long periods of NPO?

Yeah......until you go "what about that demyelination on the MRI though, might that not explain it?"

I thought nowadays it often stopped at labelling things "functional" (bitter gaslit parent speaking here)

Similar with GOSH in Britain when we are in the midlands and treating many of the same conditions either in local hospitals or with super specialists at Birmingham Children's Hospital

Paint everything and put your meter in a Faraday cage, but carry on messaging your conspiracy theories on your smart phone....

I did a placement with my dad and his colleagues who I had known forever, called them all Dr/Mr Whatever, including my dad, embraced the weirdness!!

The number of times my contribution to the management of inpatient anaemia as a Haematologist is "please stop doing blood tests" is beyond counting

My daughter has asked for a warm headscarf, was going to just do a granny triangle, but I am tempted to try this instead... Looks lovely!

Princess Bride, Coyote Ugly, The Slipper and the Rose and Gross Pointe Blank

If it makes you feel better, I had had A Day by 11am....

Oh that's rubbish. Hope you feel better soon

Ummm....given that it is the festive period, could it perhaps, just possibly, be a teeny bit more likely, that you may have eaten either too much or more rich food than you are used to? Just a thought ...

I am sort of jealous of you watching Beaches for the first time. Despite needing multiple packets of tissues it is still one of my rewatch films
