I'm thankful that those in the clinical field are finally beginning to catch up on the depth of damage done to us detransitioners. Truth be told, I really have a difficult time putting to words just how pervasively, how deeply negatively what I was put through affected my life. I could absolutely see it falling into the realm of PTSD and grievous moral injury. I can never look down at my body and for a single moment not be reminded of the faces of my perpetrators and the lies they told me flashing before me like some kind of sequence film I can't stop. I know this may not be the case for everyone but it is for me. I'm glad to see some peer reviewed studies coming out addressing these experiences people in situations like mine have been having. Props.
🚨A new peer-reviewed paper argues that some detransitioners may suffer from PTSD, with medical transition as the traumatic event. Their trauma is further compounded by moral injury—the damage from feeling betrayed by the doctors & institutions they trusted. New Spotlight/1 ⬇️

Andy Burnham becomes Prime Minister tomorrow, and we know more about his jogging pattern, musical preferences, how he makes a cup of tea and choice of attire than his current plan for the country. Very concerning.

If Starmer thinks his personal ratings can't get any worse, I have news for him - they can.  Not appearing on the media at the weekend in support of the family of murdered teenager Henry Novak will make sure of that. His absence from their side demanding answers from the police was a mistake of monumental proportions.  This case, and the behaviour of the police, is already being compared with the George Floyd incident in the US.  In that case, which had nothing to do with the UK, Starmer was all over it, and couldn’t have bended his knee more, saying that it had 'prompted a burning desire for change'. His relative silence over Henry - bleeding to death, being handcuffed by the police who preferred to believe the lies of his black killer than the cries for help of a white stab victim - is deafening.   Has there ever been a more perfect illustration of the disgrace of Two Tier Kier?

Keir Starmer is the most dishonest and inept politician of his generation. The Mandelson saga isn’t even half of it. He believes in nothing, can’t really do anything, and is willing to say anything to save his skin. What a mess, says Tom Slater buff.ly/vbwE32t

Absolutely dominant! A championship record for Keely Hodgkinson, as she takes home the World Indoor title in the 800m!

Keir Starmer, 2020: "When they made mistakes, I carried the can. I never turn on my staff and you should never turn on your staff." Keir Starmer still hasn’t resigned over appointing Peter Mandelson but his chief of staff has resigned. He never lives by his own standards.

It’s now 40 years since this quite brilliant episode of Yes, Prime Minister was broadcast but somehow it still seems remarkably appropriate after all this time! One of the best comedy series ever and superbly acted.

“Imagine getting booked for celebrating… fucking sad, you know what I mean?” 😡 David Moyes hit out after being booked for celebrating Everton’s late equaliser and joked he’d have done a knee slide too if he was more mobile saying he’d do it all again 🏃‍♂️💥
