Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

The real victim at the centre of this absurd case is very clearly Dr Beth Upton
To witness the way in which she’s been dehumanised and vilified by Peggie and their (Sex Matters) legal team, the tribunal judge, the British media, and UK politicians has been beyond horrifying

A stochastic terror campaign against anyone who is trans or gender nonconforming.
We wake up with this fear, and we go to bed with this fear. And it weighs on us every minute of our lives. Exactly as intended.
And most institutions not only don't protect us, they protect the aggressors.

Heartbreaking cruelty.
Which is the point.
The goal is to make life unliveable for trans people and the people who care about us.
To eliminate our social engagement, our employment opportunity and to isolate us from our peers.
Once we are sufficiently Othered, well, you know what’s next.

People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom.
If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.

"activist" is a weasel word intended to manipulate the reader's opinion.
If a publication uses it in a headline I know it's not a serious publication. If a journalist uses it in an article I know they're not a serious journalist.
End of story.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

On Trans Day of Remembrance, every year, I think about how close I came to not making it. I think about how a small, hateful, loud, and well-funded group caused me to believe I’d rather die than come out as transgender. (Thread)
