@JacquiDeevoy1 It’s pretty depressing to see a journalist unable to do basic fact checking to this degree, or being so untrusting of so many sources. How did we get here?

Meningitis is NOT contagious, so what’s with all the nonsense? As my friend Kat Watkins says on FB today: “Meningitis is an infection in the brain caused by toxins passing the blood brain barrier. You cannot 'catch' it, it's not contagious 🙄🙄 So all this closing of schools is just theatre. It's to scare you into making sure you jab yourselves and your kids up. How many of those who have presented with meningitis, had the covid vax? Since its a side effect? As well as a side effect of many other jabs 🤷🤷”

@Microbedoc2 Sometimes never!!

When you have annual leave and come back to an inbox of emails - how long do you take to respond upon return?

@glitchdig0 @segm_ebm 👆🏻Good question

@segm_ebm What’s the difference between the 10 reviews? Why publish them as 10 separate reviews instead of just 1 big review?

📢NHS England just published 10 new systematic evidence reviews on PB and CSH for binary and “non-binary” youth. Because of the weak evidence, the NHS paused new cross-sex hormones prescriptions and is conducting a 90-day consultation to review evidence for a potential permanent ban. /1

@baroness_9 @sappholives83 @Glinner I don’t think anyone disagrees with this. But it’s worth asking why did we ever have single sex spaces? And has any reason to have them truly changed?

it is accurate to say that many who ‘self identify’ do so to be able to get their kicks in places they were previously arrested for being in, it is unfair however to always state ‘all’ are like this, those who went through the years of psychotherapy and counselling to be then DIAGNOSED with a troubling, for them, condition and do not ‘invade’ spaces simply wish to be allowed to exist as happily as they can without pissing people off and being accused of being predatory perverts. it is like saying all police officers are crooked because a few got caught doing illegal things. i agree completely that the laws have been abused but i also know that due to these abuses they are constantly being looked at for amendment.

Yeah, Dylan, I am. I work homicide, and I’ve also worked sex crimes. Want to know how many sex offenses I’ve seen committed by men who like to crossdress? It startled with so-called nuisance crimes when I was working patrol, like trespassing in women’s spaces to jerk off, or breaking into women’s homes to steal underwear, and goes all the way on up through possession of child sexual abuse material to multiple rape/homicides. And people like you have given these predators not only access to women spaces, but camouflage, in the persons of the trans-identifying men whose fetishistic desires to crossdress _don’t_ include the sexual exploitation of women’s spaces and the violation of women’s bodies. A woman has no way of knowing whether or not the transvestite in the bathroom with her is a predator or not, the same as with any other man, which is why we _had_ women’s spaces in the first place — so that we could use the fvcking bathroom without having to worry about the fact that we’re trapped in a flimsy box with one exit and our pants down. Ah, the good old days — when women had rights, and a way to refer to ourselves that doesn’t also include men. Stealing a minority group’s ability to name themselves is an old colonizer’s trick, by the way — and that’s what your movement is - the colonization of womanhood by invading men, men who think they have the right to decide what it means to be a woman, simply because they want to be one. That’s not how it works — and deep down, you know that.

@Aella_Girl @Martina What’s the source of these data? How was the sample collected?

Huh decided to check - trans women actually do report significantly higher rates of sex work than any other gender identity group who took my survey

@Idiot_Sink @flynndirk @F92Zulu @JimSpenceDundee @thecourieruk 👆🏻totally this!!

@flynndirk @F92Zulu @JimSpenceDundee @thecourieruk His disorder makes him say the most inappropriate thing he can for the situation. He doesn’t say “I HAVE DRUGS” to people that aren’t cops, because he least wants to say that to cops. He doesn’t say SLUT to men because his brain knows that he least wants to say that to women

@flynndirk @F92Zulu @JimSpenceDundee @thecourieruk Tourette’s will tend to find the worst thing you can do in a given situation.

@LRSerling Being in a single sex bay was In the top 3 responses to what matters most to patients in hospital in the NHS CQC in patient survey in 2009.

This is fucking insane??? Why???? I have literally never heard anyone in my life complain about having a bed next to someone of a different gender in a hospital??

@Emily_Mckenzie @Naeluckmate @Rojtus1 @ScotNational It would be more accurate to capture a variable that cannot change, such as sex at birth (ie sex at a particular point in time) and then have a another variable that captures gender transition later in life. This would make data analyses easier.

@Emily_Mckenzie @Naeluckmate @Rojtus1 @ScotNational that would seem to me to be confusing in a health database. It would give a variable where the same value could mean two different things.

EXCLUSIVE: Anti-trans activists are negatively impacting scientific research by pushing for 'the existence of trans people to be an impossibility' in data gathering, according to a new study #Echobox=1769007147-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/25785108.…

@Rojtus1 @Naeluckmate @ScotNational On the point of data collection, you would need to collect information on both natal sex and trans identification to be accurate. Anything else risks trans people disappearing completely and could mean that research doesn’t address their needs.

@Naeluckmate @ScotNational So you agree that it's important that these subjects be studied free from biases and mistakes, in either direction. Good. 👍

@marycatedelvey It’s amazing how therapeutic that can be!

Why do I always feel like rearranging my furniture or painting my walls will solve all my problems ?

@ThatEricAlper Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgivings

@doctor_oxford I was also impressed with the care that my mother received in the last days of her life. By the sounds of it she passed away in a similar way to your father. We are indeed lucky to have a system that can deliver a peaceful end to our lives. It must be cherished and protected.

On this day eight years ago, my dearest Dad died at home of bowel cancer. His death was a good as it can possibly be - cocooned within the love of his wife, children and grandchildren, with his symptoms palliated beautifully. This was in no small part thanks to a small army of NHS community and palliative care nurses who visited daily, unstintingly, infusing Dad’s final days with acts of quiet yet priceless tenderness. How I wish everyone were able to receive such a service (I am painfully aware of the patients I sometimes treat who are dying on trolleys in hospital corridors - a travesty of what a good death should be). Curled up in grief the day after Dad died, I posted a tweet of thanks to that small army, the NHS staff who had held Dad throughout those fifteen long months of the cruelties of cancer. Improbably, the tweet set off around the world, being seen some 9 million times. It struck a particular chord with people in America, whose replies, in their thousands, were often heartbreaking. Why? I think because my tweet’s message was so simple. It spoke of gratitude to the NHS and for the fact that the one thing we never had to worry about during Dad’s illness was how we would pay for it - that his treatment might bankrupt us. The NHS is flawed and failing, the product of decades of underfunding, understaffing, outsourcing and the leaching of funds into private ‘providers’ hands. But it is still a jewel in the UK’s crown - the embodiment of something vital and profound. We in Britain inhabit a society that believes, collectively, in treating patients in need, irrespective of their ability to pay. How simple and decent and profoundly kind is that? My Dad gave his heart and soul to his NHS patients because he cared. It’s why I’m a doctor today. Here’s to the NHS, its founding principles, and the fight to remain a society whose members continue fundamentally to care about each other. And here’s to you, Dad.

@unfilteredGray @jk_rowling Only mixed sex facilities? Or mixed sex and single sex?

@jk_rowling And yet, left-wing cities are building unisex spaces for the sake of inclusion. x.com/unfilteredGray…

Bear with me here, but it's almost as though girls and women who want female-only spaces aren't scaremongering, hysterical, lying bigots after all. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/0…
