The concept of transgender and associated ‘medical healthcare’ is socially created, socially curated and social contagion. It exists because humans made it exist. Social consumerism.

"We agree that revision of language is essential to good science, but it must be done scientifically" thelancet.com/journals/lanps… On the use of often nonsensical - "neurodiversity-affirmative" - language in ADHD research. Now do autism...

@PaulWhiteleyPhD Especially given how vulnerable autistic children can be to tv/ screens in terms of behaviour/ distinguishing between reality / fiction / addiction and the higher likelihood of someone with autism going on to be diagnosed with schizophrenia.

"not a single congenitally blind person with schizophrenia has ever been reported" theconversation.com/people-who-are… "People who lose their sight later in life, or whose blindness is caused by damage to the eyes rather than the brain, can still develop the condition." Interesting.

@Psychgirl211 I’m now of tamoxifen, a strangely mixed hormonal suppressor. Can cause awful mood issues. AIs are worse apparently. (Some women in the US take testosterone with the AI and it helps them a lot.) The exercise helps combat my low hormone levels mood and pain wise . 3/

@Psychgirl211 Impact of regular high intensity exercise, jumping and resistance training. The anti inflammatory impact. 2/

@NABurkinshaw Oh god yes!

Literally EVERY Year 11 cohort in the country is being rounded up by an over-excited drama teacher right now.

Huge credit is due to Charlotte Elves for her crucial role in wringing this footage out of the Northamptonshire Police.

@PTrubetskov @stimimi Breathing, sleep, stretching, and sensory stuff that I’ve learnt from the OTs I work with and methods I use with children with adhd do work but I am my own worse enemy with my creativity and it can all go to pot. Executive function difficulties would be more helpful dx. 6/

@PTrubetskov @stimimi Which is ridiculous. I don’t know whether to beg for hrt (it’s oestrogen positive but I’m on tamoxifen and one consultant suggested it) or Ritalin at an upcoming clinic. I don’t want to loose what slight libido I have with antidepressants. Routines of food, exercise, rest, 5/

@cabbagekeks @bindelj @BBC6Music Update; whilst they do now play her I have personally only heard Nick Grimshaw play one song from her last album. And that was relatively recently, in tbe last 6 months. @roisinmurphy

@Elfie41767774 @bindelj @BBC6Music It took a while for the music to start being played again. Shocking behaviour from the BBC.

Do you remember when Laura Snapes at the Guardian said that Róisín Murphy‘s album had an “ugly stain“ on it, because she had spoken out against puberty blockers?

@akuareindorf I work in a school and have always had to follow acceptable dress policies. This has included correctly fitted bras and not showing a g string. It’s just not fucking appropriate to wear fake breasts to work.

7/ Wearing giant prosthetic breasts at work is less likely to be conduct of a sexual nature, but depending on the circumstances it might be. In which case, the employer has a duty to prevent it.

1/ There are 3 kinds of relevant harassment For all 3, A engages in unwanted conduct which violates B’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for B (if not deliberate, it must be reasonable for B to experience it that way)..

“It’s not the first time in history artists have faced oppression and it won’t be the last. We should support each other, come together and defend our shared space, our territory, the place where imagination can roam free. Because if they come for one of us they will eventually come for all. “ On Monday 26/4/26 I gave a speech at the House of Lords, Palace of Westminster to help launch toolkit.freedominthearts.com Please follow/donate to @Freedom_in_Arts they are doing VITAL work for all of us.”

I have rarely, if ever, heard anything as powerful and painfully, devestatedly truthful as this speech by @roisinmurphy. What a terrible toll, but a beautiful fightback: freedominthearts.com

@KShabby16334956 Yes the generalisation factor was a part of my training.

@Elsebeth_Is The issue is that it confuses the picture. A child who understands on a surface level what happens during a fire alarm but doesn't understand what happens during a lockdown alarm even though both are alarms, specifically because they have never been taught the 2nd one and --

They try to help autistic children a lot more in the US than they do here. Here they are "managed" by education and contained. And if you have parents who can fight, you might get SALT in there, but that doesn't really help in the long run and may confuse the picture further.

@KShabby16334956 Clearly that would be extremely dangerous.

@Elsebeth_Is You cannot cure their autism. De-diagnosing them is dangerous. They are still highly vulnerable in any situation that they have not been explicitly taught and even then explicit teaching can fail because there was a variable not thought of. signed, mom of 2 very vuln asd girls

@KShabby16334956 I would also say that the basic premise of social stories helps the teacher understand how to break down perspectives and scaffold steps for the child.

@KShabby16334956 On that point I agree. There are some children I have seen do very well with these interventions however. All are individuals. The basic premise of teacch supports the teacher more than the pupil. Ultimately a holistic, safe, evidenced + paced approach 2 educatn is what I favour.
