Get involved with Gendered Intelligence and other trans-led organisations! THREAD

(GI) #TDOV
Our GIANTS project is all about empowering gender diverse people to advocate for their inclusion and creating community-led spaces. We're recruiting for a new cohort of members just now! genderedintelligence.co.uk/projects/GIANTS (GI) #TDOV
Our trans youth work service is the largest in the UK + has dedicated groups for trans young people of colour + transfem people. Separated by age, if you’re a young trans person who wants to join a youth group, don’t be a stranger! (GI) Email: youthwork@genderedintelligence.co.uk
One of the most effective things you can do as an advocate for trans people is to dig deep into your pockets! Apart from GI (genderedintelligence.co.uk/support-us/don…), there are so many worthy orgs to donate to including @LGBTQIoutside and @transaidcymru #TDOV

Hi everyone! Cara again from Gendered Intelligence @Genderintell here.

We’re working to remedy some of the bigger struggles facing trans right in the UK right now, especially around access to healthcare...#TDOV
Working with other experts we’ll be intervening in the Bell v Tavistock appeal in June! We have to hear the voices of young trans people in legal cases which affect them – they’re too important to ignore. goodlawproject.org/update/tavisto… (GI)
We’ve heard from our users about the effects on them of this case and we know cases like this make trans people feel downtrodden and ignored. Whatever happens now and in the future, we have your backs and we will never stop! (GI)

Trans people don’t exist in a vacuum – we create communities of people with diverse needs and experiences. Let’s delve a bit deeper into the intersecting aspects of trans identities… #TDOV2021 (GI)
Trans people are likelier to face hardship or discrimination if they are working class, disabled, or a person of colour.

'Trans' is a class issue, a race issue, a disability issue - we're all individuals with intersecting facets of self. (GI)
We must unpick thinking trans people have separable needs & desires from others. We're in every community across UK and need the same removal of systemic barriers as all other marginalised people – we’re frequently doubly or triply affected e.g. disabled Black trans women. (GI)

Hi everyone! This is Cara from Gendered Intelligence (@genderintel)- we're taking over Jo's account today on #TDOV2021! We'll be posting some things about trans people in the UK and what you can do to help! (GI)
Gendered Intelligence is the biggest trans-led organisation working across the UK. Since 2008 we’ve supported trans people (particularly trans youth) across all parts of their life. Our main aim is to increase understandings of gender diversity & visibility of trans people! (GI)
We are a trans-led and trans-involving grassroots organisation with a wealth of lived experience, community connections of many kinds, and a depth and breadth of trans community knowledge that is second to none. We believe everyone can be intelligent about gender! @Genderintell

Do you remember when Boris Johnson told Parliament: "All the details are on the record" and added "The contracts are there on the record for everybody to see"? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-562819…
Yesterday Government published (yet another) of the contracts that Boris Johnson had claimed didn't exist: a £102.6m contract to Pharmaceuticals Direct Limited: contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22f31ba…. (We believe there is more to come from Pharmaceuticals Direct Limited - so watch this space).
The contract is for 20m FFP3 facemasks. They have tried to redact the unit price but they haven't done a very good job so you can see we paid a per unit price of £5.13 (and we picked up the shipping all the way from Jinua City).

Confused about Greensill? Tl;dr Civil servants and politicians do favours for wealthy businessmen then get vast fortunes when they leave office.
It's playing out in public - and targeted at Cameron - because of Tory score settling in Treasury. But the FT reported that Rishi Sunak interceded on Cameron's behalf.

And I know of a number of pandemic procurement civil servants who have since taken jobs for suppliers.
It matters because whenever a politician or civil servant is thinking about how to keep sweet someone they hope will give them a lucrative job later they are not thinking about how to protect the public interest now.

Scottish lawyers: can anyone help X who has returned from Spain to Glasgow (where their family is) after having attempted suicide? X is being forced to quarantine at a hotel and their family is worried X will attempt suicide again unless they are permitted to quarantine at home.
If you can help please reply and I will DM you the details of an intermediary. Family is not wealthy - and is now poorer by £1,750 - but the intermediary will pay if necessary.
Can you help @StewartMcDonald, please.
