Imagine the NHS arguing that you can learn how to drug children âinformally through self-studyâđ
Makes you wonder what those 7 yr medical degrees are for. Be cheaper to bung a few e-learning modules on the Digital College đ€·ââïž
NHS England accepted that Dr Sam Hall had "no formal training in gender-identity medicine" but argued that he'd "acquired expertise informally through self-study, experience" and "from talking with other gender specialists."
This is what NHSE "accepts" for the treatment of vulnerable children. These children weren't being treated for colds.
They were being given life-changing blockers and hormones for feelings that hadn't been explored.
Cass is right. This goes much deeper than just one clinic. Full independent inquiry is needed now.
Excellent reporting as always from @hannahsbee.

Bills don't get worse in daylight, they get worse when nobody's watching.
So we're watching.
The Health Bill goes to Lords Committee from 28 October. MPs voted down single-sex wards 106 to 302. The peers are next.
We're also tracking the Draft Conversion Practices Bill and the school misogyny plan, so you don't have to.

The courts and tribunals are one of the most important arenas in which the gender wars are being fought out. And one of the most important aspects of litigation is that it happens in public.

UK state has catastrophically failed it's duty of care towards children for decades
This is all downstream from NHS adopting Di Ceglie & John Money's lie that children have a 'gender identity '
Social services, NHS, education & govt captured
Conversion Practice Bill cements it

Man who testified in court under oath that if a woman had requested same sex care he would ignore it, and go in to treat her anyway, causes upset for doing exactly what he said he would do under oath,
The person harrassing others is him.

After 18 years in childrenâs services, I find this deeply troubling, repeated safeguarding warnings, vulnerable children put at risk, and a doctor who says she was silenced for speaking up. This demands answers. Protecting children must be the stateâs first duty. đđœ
đšHilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry into how Brighton GPs were allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12.âThere urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, and indeed young adults has failed,â she told me.
The employment tribunal between Dr Sarah Redvers and NHS Sussex has highlighted how regulators and the NHS collectively failed to stop prescribing of puberty blockers and hormones against national guidelines - for years - and how instead the person raising concerns was accused of transphobia and herself investigated.
Dr Redvers sat down with me for her only newspaper interview about her treatment in a scandal which, Cass now says, âdwarfsâ that of the Tavistockâs GIDS.

I was reading this article and thinking "this is really good, does an amazing job of explaining a complex situation without being confusing" - and then saw the byline and realised why. Hannah is a national treasure.

There seems to be some confusion amongst some people, so I will explain it as clearly as I can:
Australiaâs sex discrimination act was created for women, on the basis of our sex. When it was enacted in 1984 (ominous year, in hindsight) employment was a big part of it.
There was a part of the act, section 7D, that allowed âspecial measuresâ where things exclusively for women werenât even classed as discrimination, basically when it was being a woman is what actually mattered in the situation. Specific employment/opportunity provisions and⊠woman-only spaces fell/fall into this category.
In 2013, the Gillard amendments introduced âgender identityâ while taking the definitions of woman & man out of the act. Sex was never defined, but in a normal world it didnât have to be. It could only have meant one thing (a mistake, again in hindsight).
By the time the trans absurdity hit fever pitch, Australian institutions were captured. This included those meant to be the custodians of the SDA. Suddenly, all they cared about was âgender identityâ aka transgender ideology.
When the Tickle v Giggle case came along, it started with an Australian Human Rights Commission complaint. To settle it, aka not have it advance to federal court, I was expected to just agree with transgender ideology. I donât.
I wish I could say I completely understood the magnitude at the time, but itâs almost impossible to. You think you do, but you donât really until it hits you like a bus.
But what I did know, instinctively, was that if I folded, I couldnât live with it, nor would it help because all it signaled was that âweâ would just accept it if threatened. I found myself in a position to challenge the absurdity, and I did, because I knew not doing it would have been worse no matter what.
Obviously, everyone knows now, the courts ruled against me in every way they could. From what a woman is, to 7D, to damages. I lost - and have lost - everything.
But what does it mean to everyone else in reality?
It means the sex discrimination commissioner told the court that the ordinary meaning of woman includes men who claim to be women, and the court accepted that. Men who claim to be women are women in Australia, via the only legislation they have to validate it.
It means that for every aspect of the SDA, per the SDCâs demand, woman includes men who claim to be women. From employment to women only spaces to pregnancy protections, because of section 7D.
Did we warn about this in our court submissions and arguments? Yes. That was actually our entire case. You can read it. Itâs all publicly available.
The high court said that we would have no possibility of success. We were arguing that women is adult human female and this matters in, tada, section 7D. That was it. The high court said âhell no wayâ. The high court is captured too.
As it stands, due to legal precedent, a special measure for women based on sex does not provide a defense to gender identity discrimination. That means that all special measures for women fall to gender identity, which will only be used by men who claim to be women, and includes - tada - employment, and women only spaces.
It means that men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women, while simultaneously taking away our rights.
I donât know how many more times I could say the âTickle v Giggleâ case is about more than âjustâ one app, Iâve been saying it for almost 5 years, but I will continue to do it until everyone understands. They wiped womenâs rights off the map.
Itâs a fâing mess. It doesnât work. Itâs incoherent. Itâs ideological. It writes women out of law. Itâs corruption. Itâs totalitarian. Itâs bullsh-t.
Itâs the test of any government: are you ok with legislating a lie?

Interesting article. At UCL, we still don't have access to Pangram to check student work, which seems crazy.
'I recently reviewed 1,191 doctoral dissertations from 2025 in the fields of educational leadership and administration. My research suggests that 35 percent of those dissertations were made up of more than a negligible amount â i.e., greater than 10 percent â of AI-generated text. Ten percent were more than 50 percent AI-generated...
Before you protest â âAI-detectors are unreliableâ; âtheyâre potentially biased against nonnative speakersâ; âthey can be trickedâ â let me tell you that I used Pangram. It is not for nothing that Pangram has become the tool of choice for much of the internet, as a slew of peer-reviewed research has found that it achieves ânear-zeroâ false-negative and false-positive rates, even against âadversarialâ and âhumanizingâ AI software. I have used Pangram over the last year in my undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral courses and have found it (with additional safeguards and protocols) to be near-perfect in detecting studentsâ inappropriate use of AI in their writing. My ongoing study used 100 dissertations published before 2020 as a control; all came out as â100 percent Humanâ in Pangram.'

People of colour are at risk of sexual assault by elderly white Irish people, especially females, under the guise of âgrandparentsâ. Everyone must be on the alert: itâs all about CONSENT. So says a campaign video (now suspended).
Do Irish women get to say no to ex-convict Barbie Kardashian, and his violent rape fantasies, in intimate single sex spaces like hospital wards, toilets and changing rooms? No, of course not. That sort of consent is exclusionary, genocidal.

what I would like is for someone with programming skills to make a bit of software to search the internet for GMC registered drs making these sort complaints and report, as well as ASA. let me know if you have these very particular skills and are in need of a thankless task
the @ASA_UK complaint I made was upheld about Do Health @drchatterjeeuk. Commercial screening brings false positives, false reassurance, overdiagnosis.
Will the @gmcuk act on the dozens of drs making false claims and have commercial conflicts of interests?

Brilliant news for free speech - and for women. đ
Scope has publicly apologised for cancelling my choirâs London Marathon performance over my gender-critical views, acknowledging its decision was wrong.
Our legal dispute is now resolved. No apology can undo the upset caused, but I hope this gives more women confidence to speak up - and makes others think twice before cancelling people for speaking about biological reality.
I tried to resolve this privately before going public or consulting lawyers. The brilliant @MForstater helped me draft a letter to Scope ahead of the marathon, hoping we could clear things up. Unfortunately, Scope stood by its decision at that stage.
Iâm so grateful to the @SpeechUnion, my solicitors Sharpe Pritchard, the fellow singers who stood beside me and members of @womensrightsnet for their support.
Sadly, I fear some singers may feel too nervous to return to the choir. But I hope other women will feel emboldened by this news.
Women should be able to speak about biological sex, their sex-based rights and the language used to describe their bodies - without fear of cancellation or other negative consequences.

This Bill would make social workers enforcers of transitioning of children despite the evidence that this is harmful - @ebswa supports the campaign to @BinTheBill_
đŹđ§ This bill "risks destabliising the family unit..." Mother of a detransitioner speaks to @HJoyceGender Expresses concern about parental imprisonment if the Conversion Practices Bill have been in place when her child identified as trans and wonders if failure to validate a child's trans identity counts as emotional abuse under the Bill.
Note: The draft bill does not define emotional abuse.
