I don't want to use 'insane' as an insult but I'm struggling for words to describe Labour at this point.

Also, medics aren't "higher up the food chain" than anyone else - that's an incredibly outdated and antequated attitude, no doubt yours specifically, and it's also an entirely irrelevant and subjective view that certainly would not have been expressed in the tribunal's final judgement.

Hi Francis, as you've turned off replies I'm quoting instead. Please clarify on which page the tribunal mentions Dr Upton having her own changing room. She wouldn't have had access to the consultants' changing rooms, the only other rooms mentioned, as she isn't one.

They'll no doubt spin this as a victory in the same way they did with Alison Bailey.
It's not a victory. NHS Fife got some stuff wrong. But they were cleared of victimisation, discrimination and indirect discrimination. Peggie also showed the sort of person she is.

@libbybrooks.bsky.social Libby, the rules don't just 'pose a risk' of harm. There's no 'could' about it. They ARE harming people, right now.

Rights groups warn against UK plans to weaken torture protections in ECHR
Exclusive: Ministers face pushback over potential changes to asylum seekers’ rights before Council of Europe meeting
Human rights groups have warned UK ministers against weakening protections against torture or other mistreatment for asylum seekers before a crucial European summit this week on how to respond to migration.
David Lammy, the justice secretary, is expected to help lead arguments at the Council of Europe meeting on Wednesday on how the European convention on human rights (ECHR) could be reinterpreted to limit the scope of rights under article 3, which prohibits torture and “inhuman or degrading treatment”.

"Biological people" was always where this eugenicist rhetoric was headed - ie "biological women", "biological pronouns" - because they genuinely don't believe trans people are even human. This dehumanizing language is essential for them to paint trans people as genetically incompatible with society.

Apparently, it's 12.5%. On top of the bill, with their profit margin added, and 20% VAT on top of that.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."
All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

But, life being stressful can make you ill. This is well known. You can argue about diagnostic criteria if you must, but you can't over diagnose anything. Either the patient in front of you meets the criteria for a diagnosis or not. There's not a guaranteed 50,000 new cases of depression a year!
