Outrageously corrupt, prejudiced "science" from the NHS:
- Enforce one particular treatment pathway for years
- Rig your literature survey to exclude that pathway
- Declare that, amazingly, there is "no evidence" for any treatment pathway
- Ban the treatment
- Shrug as people suffer untreated
So sad, and so unnecessary. We offered a legal indemnity, against all legal risks, to the leadership of Women's Institute, and Girlguiding, so they could continue to include all women.
Both declined.

Sex or gender information In the UK, sex and gender data can cover three categories: Biological sex. Legal or certified sex. This is sex as recorded on your original birth certificate or as amended under the Gender Recognition Act 2004. In almost all cases, legal or certified sex reflects a person’s biological sex. Gender. A broad term that is sometimes used interchangeably with sex or when specifically referring to social rather than biological differences between sexes. It can also capture data that equates to biological, legal or certified sex. Information about sex and gender is not necessary for the intended purpose of the digital ID. Inclusion of this information would not enhance checks that the digital ID belongs to the person presenting it. Checks will be done programmatically and through biometric authentication, neither of which require specific sex or gender data. Additionally, digital right to work checks and many checks in the private sector (including Know Your Customer (KYC) and simple age verification checks) do not require the collection or sharing of information about a person’s sex or gender. Similarly, access to most public services does not require this information. In specific scenarios where sex or gender information is required, it is better collected and verified by other means appropriate to that scenario, rather than contained in the digital ID. For these reasons, and in line with data minimisation principles, we do not intend to include sex or gender information in the digital ID.
The UK government's consultation on a digital ID system is now live! And – GOOD NEWS – the government does not intend to include sex or gender information in the digital ID.

Trump’s top men afraid to step out of line wearing his favourite dress shoes George Grylls - Washington President Trump and members of his top team were wearing Florsheims at Davos in January. Next image › Pairing an oversized power suit with a long red tie, President Trump is famous for exporting the look of a 1980s Wall Street trader to the White House. Often he wears a baseball cap too. Now, facing murmurings of discontent in the Maga movement over his appetite for foreign wars, the spiralling cost of oil and a potentially damaging set of midterms later this year, Trump has cobbled together a sartorial solution to encourage Republican unity: a $145 pair of dress shoes. The president is giving pairs from his favourite brand to members of his administration, according to The Wall Street Journal. Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, JD Vance, the vice-president and Pete Hegseth, the secretary of war, have all received a pair of Florsheim shoes in recent months. Others presented with the brand’s classic lace-ups include the Fox News host Sean Hannity, the senator Lindsey Graham and the Maga celebrity Tucker Carlson. Trump likes to open cabinet meetings with a check-up on how people are enjoying the “incredible” footwear. “Did you get the shoes?” he asks.

Thread, well worth a read for context on yesterday's NHS HRT ban for under 18s 👇🏻
TLDR: ideologically motivated stitch-up, like Cass but worse
We also hear that a similar 'study' was done on adult HRT.
For adults it will be a bit harder to skew the evidence.
Unless they break the adult population by age range, looking ONLY for studies on 18-25 year olds for example.
No data distortion would be surprising at this point

Belfast Telegraph front page - Natalie’s ex boyfriend arrested on suspicion of threat to kill woman Court hears witness deny ever being violent Belfast Telegraph10 Mar 2026ALLISON MORRIS An ex-boyfriend of Natalie Mcnally was arrested last week on suspicion of making threats to kill another woman he was with at the time of the pregnant woman’s death, a court has heard. The witness was giving evidence in the trial of Lisburn man Stephen Mccullagh (36), who denies murdering Ms Mcnally in 2022. The man had dated Ms Mcnally for over a year from the summer of 2019, but was also asked about the woman he was with when Ms Mcnally died. He was asked about Whatsapp messages he sent the woman last weekend in which he allegedly threatened to strangle her. But he denied ever having laid a finger on her. The witness said there was “a load of slabbering going on from both parties”, admitting that he was arrested the following day.

This isn't the man that killed her, this is another one
