One year ago today, it was similarly very hot. ☀️🌡

Ten days overdue, sick of consuming curry 🌶 & pineapple juice 🍍🍍🍍, I had reflexology to try to kickstart the labour process. 👣 (1/10)
I had run out of ridiculous things to clean in the house (doorstep, fridge, wall beside the dishwasher 🙄) and was ready to meet my baby. (2/10) Spotless fridge, never been this clean before, nor will be again.
At worst, I figured, the reflexology would be a nice foot massage. It was lovely. Carrying all that extra weight takes its toll on your toes. (3/10)

Key HoC vote just now. If passed, this secures debating time in Parliament on 25 June for MPs to pass a Brexit-related Bill, for example to prevent a future PM going ahead with a No Deal Brexit against the wishes of Parliament.
Plan to ensure Parliament can stop No Deal defeated by 309 to 298. Tory MPs who voted against this despite knowing the catastrophe No Deal presents are putting party loyalty ahead of national interest. #StopBrexit
UPDATE: Votes now public.
❌8 Lab MPs voted with govt
❌13 Lab MPs unaccounted for
✔10 Tory MPs voted against govt

Govt majority was 11.

**Labour lost their own motion**
Yet again Labour let down their own members, voters & the country.

@LisaTMullin @WhatTheTrans 1/ No the both of you, that is BS. LGB, ever since "coming out" was named, have done so in their teens & peaking in 30s was never a thing. Trans is very different. Perhaps if you spoke to us who have been advocating on kids for decades?
@LisaTMullin @WhatTheTrans 2/ Paediatric clinic referrals have rocketed, relatively, for a succession of reasons that the Tavi know well but never discuss because it wants the "panic" reaction - it is a psyschoanalytic centre & wants the ban on trying to "cure" NHS trans (of all ages) by that means ended.
@LisaTMullin @WhatTheTrans 3/ Not because that would work - it never, ever has - but because psychoanalysts at the Tavi have huge personal investments in promoting their belief. Remember that the Tavi now owns CX adult GIC too, as well as GIDS - both the world's largest.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...
