This has been quietly happening for a while now - and is just more evidence that the NHS:

⚠️ Is institutionally transphobic, engaging in systemic discrimination that costs Trans+ people their lives and health, and appeasing anti-Trans clinicians and activists who campaign to ‘cure’ Trans+ people

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

The lack of cringing, cowering deference to this nonsense is so immensely refreshing. Just joined the party.

Yeah, they're no Christians.

If Jesus turned up now (assuming the boat with him and his disciples wasn't blown out of the water first), he'd be tasered, piled on, cuffed and on his way to a third world concentration camp before he'd even had a chance to bless the cheesmakers. 🙂

The only redeeming quality #AI has is that it fucks things (everything) up in ways that make me absolutely ROAR.

Confident that Zack is going to MARMALISE Kuenssberg.

She Guevara @sheg7.bsky.social · 4h

Laura Kuenssberg is gunna try to proper hatchet-job him. You're gunna see her spend almost the entire interview being intellectually dishonest in an attempt to paint Polanski as a weirdo dreamer.

BBC caves to complaints and agrees to major Zack Polanski interview

ZACK Polanski will be interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg after the BBC received complaints from the public for the lack of coverage of the Green Party…

So sad. And if only the internet had some way of returning to the same place later on 🤔

Kevin (Des) @jambodes.bsky.social · 4h

Yep.

And (I know I shouldn't) but to his point:

It should get easier now that there's one less party on the left. 🙂

Kevin (Des) @jambodes.bsky.social · 4h

Yep. Been there. 😬

Hope the rest of the day is better.

Unless...(and here's a radical thought)...enough people vote for the left-most party.

A bit like those voting for the right-most party (that you're so worried are going to get in), but the opposite.

“Bowen, of course, carefully ignores the part Israel played in arming these criminal clans and letting them steal food aid. The clans then sold that aid at inflated prices to a small group who could still afford to pay, while everyone else starved.”

Once again, Jeremy Bowen is misleading the British public about Gaza

The BBC international editor is required to report what Hamas actually thinks. Otherwise he is not a journalist, he's just another western propagandist
