The Cass Review [a UK review of trans health] is due to be released on Thursday in Australia. I have big concerns about the independence, credibility, and political agenda of the Cass Review and believe that it cannot be trusted. Here's why. > 🧵 1.

Trans and gender diverse people have the right to be involved in the decisions that affect their lives and health care.

Thread - Ways that you can help trans young people in this moment.

Seeing the outpouring of solidarity from people has been really heartwarming but we need to prepare ourselves for more attacks ahead. Here's some things you can do... 1. Donate. There are a number of amazing orgs out there but two of my picks would be blackrainbow.org.au @blkrnbow and transcend.org.au @transcend_aust. They both do incredible work supporting families and community and are just actual heroes.
