‼️LGBTIQ+ and feminist orgs and researchers ‼️

Young trans people in England+Wales need you. The new service specification for gender dysphoria services for children and young people is an abuser's charter. Please, please take part in the consulation. engage.england.nhs.uk/specialised-co… When I say the new @NHSEngland service spec for trans children and adolescents is an abuser's charter, I mean that it is written in a way that will encourage professionals to doubt young people, prevent them from coming out, and enrol them in research without their consent.

🧵Graham Norton went viral for asking that people listened not to him on trans issues, but to experts, to trans kids, and to our families. Then everyone started talking about him, and wizard lady. What a distraction!

To honour Graham's original suggestion, here's some pointers: Here's my website. Not messing around, but I've written a lot on trans health over the years. I have a blog, and you can read most of my academic work for free under the "publications" tab, and read one of my books for free, and there's some videos. ruthpearce.net

This is mind-boggling unethical behaviour by the Cass Review and Government.

People who obtained Gender Recognition Certificates with the knowledge that their personal information would be protected. Non-consensually enrolling these individuals into research is appalling. A good thing for healthcare researchers to do right now is find out where elements of the Cass Review (several independent research projects) are getting ethical approval from, and writing to these ethics boards and their institutions to head off any gross breach of protocol.

Really looking forward to attending and speaking at this event on #AthenaSWAN and equality schemes this afternoon, alongside the amazing @KalwantBhopal and @ctzanakou! If you didn't manage to register in time for the event, I am hoping to livetweet from some of the talks.
