Three years ago, census data on the LGBT+ population in England and Wales was published for the first time! 🌈
On 27 Jan 2026 we're organising the Futures of SOGI Data Forum to explore opportunities and challenges associated with gender, sex and sexuality data 📊
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and please complete your mandatory e-learning by 31 December.
Morning all! Ivor remained asleep until 6am, bless him. Just had a look and we tipped 20k, which is magnificent. I’m going to repost some pix that I missed while slumbering. Thank you thank you #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

Preparing a slide show for my complaining daughter who has no idea how luxurious her temp bedroom is!
This is my favourite Christmas tradition! Sadly with the recent construction of a garden office, everyone has avoided the giant zen gnome and towering bookcases this year. But will be back later to donate
Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?
Rocky! Sounds like I’m in for a fight or two in 2026!
And chill….
The AIDS Memorial Quilt, memorial to celebrate the lives of people who died of AIDS-related causes. Created by/cared for by many, but especially "Mother of the Quilt" Gert McMullin. The largest piece of community folk art in the world, now on show at Tate Modern #GoSeeArt !
Ok so off to re think some pottery plans now but no way I will achieve anything like this!
First time making lamp bases - feel like this might become a new obsession! #pottery #clay
Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

A pink background with a speech bubble that reads: The Politics of Categories
Categories used by the state to sort people into boxes are never neutral.
Some thoughts on the UK Supreme Court case ruling and the wider anti-trans campaign to narrow sex and gender categories in policy, data and law.

Stand up and fight for this every step of the way until everyone agrees.

Today, Katy Perry became a space tourist, emitting as much carbon as someone does over their ENTIRE LIFETIME.
No scientific gains were sought through this flight. Just pandering to rich folks.
Don’t come at me saying this was for female equality. It was not. It is bullshit.
