What makes me so fucking mad is

I never hurt anyone. The vast, overwhelming majority of nsfw creators and sex workers dont.

We get cut off from the ability to use-the-dollar but all the sick fucks that hurt people, both directly and indirectly, every single day, never get even a slap on the wrist

Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.

Extract from Impact Assessment. NHS England is separately reviewing the evidence for the use of MAF in adults with gender dysphoria, with the aim of a consultation on the evidence later in 2026.

Given that every 'evidence review' under Labour is conducted to 'build the evidence case against' can there be any real doubt about how this ends?

The complete removal from the NHS, and possible criminalization, of all medication for trans people.

I am fucking livid. This ban, like the puberty blocker ban, is only for gender affirming healthcare. You can still get the exact same medicine if you're a cis kid.

This is just conversion therapy. It is just forcing trans kids to go through the wrong puberty and stay in the wrong body.

One of the excluded systematic reviews is the York systematic reviews commissioned as part of the Cass Review itself. NHS England excluded from its evidence review a systematic review produced for the very process this evidence review is supposed to implement. It's a joke.

It's 2026.

Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician.

Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist.

Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

Remember: In public facing social media, you don't know shit about DIY hormones, you don't feel qualified to comment on them, and neither do I. If a journalist asks you about it, you don't know shit and you don't feel qualified to comment.

"But surely you can agree that-" nope. No comment. Zip it.

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).

This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

The sight of men harassing and attacking a woman in the name of defending women and children is sickening.

We’ve seen some amazing feedback and support for the campaign this week, perhaps most importantly from the trans+ community themselves, although a couple of higher profile allies have really helped boost our message.

Thank you David and Georgia Tennant πŸ™

Circumstances have changed, and Im trying to raise 6000 USD.

I have an ongoing 20% off sale in my shop and a ko-fi.

I currently have emergency commissions up on ko-fi

I know times are tough for everyone, so all I can ask for is shares.
