Happy Pride Month from all of us here at SWLSTG! Our #Pride flag is flying proudly outside Newton building at Springfield Hospital in celebration of #PrideMonth and our LGBTQIA+ community.

#StaffNetworksDay is celebrated nationally on 8 May 2024. At @SWLSTG we are lucky & grateful to have 7 #StaffNetworks who are built by staff for staff. Thank you for your continuous hard work @CSN_SWLStG @SWLSTG_NDS #DiverseAbility @ESwlstg @RainbowSWLSTG @SwlstgN @SWLSTGWomen

"It’s an important way to honour the past, educate the present, and shape a more inclusive and equitable future." Dan and Cassidy, the chairs of our LGBTQIA+ staff network, share the importance of celebrating #LGBTplusHM 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ Read more from them here: swlstg.nhs.uk/latest-news/ce…

@CAIS_Files @DrBillyBoland @rcpsych Please ask @swlstg for a FOI.

@Strikketanten @CAIS_Files @TheCAHkid1 @SWLSTG We’ll have to agree to disagree there. We are done tweeting about this now.

@RainbowSWLSTG @CAIS_Files @TheCAHkid1 @SWLSTG "The only people using the term 'intersex' are either self-diagnosed lying gits, or lying gits wanting to use us as political ballista stones!". Sincerely, my cousin with a DSD.

@TheCAHkid1 @CAIS_Files @Strikketanten @SWLSTG We aren’t forcing anyone.Our meetings are so small anyway.I think your arguement is with someone else and not a tiny staff network.I wonder how you think this will make our one (known)intersex member feel?No one has to come to our meetings but we always want them to feel welcome.

@RainbowSWLSTG @CAIS_Files @Strikketanten @SWLSTG That's fine, but I don't see how a range of medical conditions gets included. If people want to go along fine. It's the forced teaming that rankles. Especially as I am more likely than most to be a psychiatrist patient!

@TheCAHkid1 @CAIS_Files @Strikketanten @SWLSTG Because some intersex people want to be included. If someone doesn’t identify as part of the community we respect people’s choice and they don’t have to come to meetings or be part of the community.

@RainbowSWLSTG @CAIS_Files @Strikketanten @SWLSTG Some "intersex" people are already covered by the acronym then. That's fine. So why have the I in there? Why include all of us?
