@DerryBanShee in @thetimes:

“It’s a sad day when UN Women lectures women’s rights campaigners on the need to include men with transgender identities in our work.”

#CassReview finds no evidence supporting the use of puberty blockers. She reminds GPs and pharmacists of their responsibilities too.

This is the end of paediatric gender medicine as we know it. Read @SexMattersOrg post.

GIDs did not cooperate with #CassReview attempt to survey practice.

The state of its medical notes is shocking, and not in line with @gmcuk guidance. #Page137 Image

Update from Maya!

On Monday, I went to an event at University College London, together with Shelley Charlesworth from Transgender Trend. Professor Davina Cooper was presenting on the findings of the Future of Legal Gender research project… Image
…which received £750,000 in public funding from the Economic and Social Research Council.
Cooper talked about how the project had set out with big ambitions to influence government policy to “decertify” sex and gender, but by the time it ended she was framing it somewhat despondently in terms of envisioning “utopias”.
