In the EU, we hardly ever speak of women anymore. Political parties—left, center, and also conservatives—have embraced gender self-ID without scrutiny or debate. Does this threaten women’s rights? Yes. And here I explain why.

If you do one thing today, could you do this?
I feel really awkward asking, but people like my Tom would die if his benefits were removed. Not now, obvs, whilst I'm looking after him, but once he goes to Supported Living, he would.
Cuts to disability benefits would be catastrophic ✂️
But they are not inevitable.
Take action to save our lifeline and make disabled voices heard.

1/4🏥Vital NHS targets are to be scrapped, including goal for 75% of people with a learning disability to receive an annual health check. People with a learning disability on average die up to 23 years earlier than the general population, with 42% of these deaths being avoidable.

@alidrewett & @navjotkaur_nav talking about the work packages they led on as part of the DECODE research. This work presents us with so many opportunities to tackle health inequalities for people with learning disabilities. #DECODE @DECODEproject2
Excellent conference @AIMS_RSF with @DECODEproject2 to share #AI research in Manchester. Grt opportunity to share ideas in co-producing data visualisations and promote LD in research. We even met Alan Turing @RKousovista @navjotkaur_nav @RabbitteSarah @Dr_S_Kumar @AnnieBannister
Graduation day @uniofleicester. Sharing this day with my family was so joyful. I just had to keep pinching myself. None of it would have been possible without their support.
