Lesbian Strength were included in the list of organisations in Amnesty International's report.
We've permission to publish their letter in response because a great letter like this will give other lesbian organisations strength. @SexMattersOrg are collecting all the letters

What a courageous woman Sarah Redvers is.
This is the greatest medical scandal of our lifetime.
‘In the financial year 2024-25, WellBN issued hormone prescriptions to close to 1,100 individuals under the age of 25. At least 97 were under 18. That amounted to 15 per cent of all testosterone prescriptions issued for under-18s across the whole of London and the southeast. For 18 to 20-year-olds, the figure was a quarter.’
Thank you @hannahsbee for your consistent scrutiny.

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.

So much hatred of women & lesbians in particular exists in the NHS, the examples keep on coming but the remedies never do. We tag in @YvetteCooperMP without any expectation that she will do anything, the NHS like the Equality Act is something the Labour Party cared about once.

Common sense is back – but there’s more to do.
“NHS leaders now need to finish the job. They must make clear to staff that recognising that a male patient is a man is not a disciplinary matter, even if that man wishes to be a woman.” @DerryBanShee writes for @Daily_Express

Evidence that the NHS policies needed to change.
The NHS policy of including males in female spaces has had devastating results for women's safety, as our ground-breaking NHS Reports revealed.
🚩 Over a four year period more than 6,500 rapes and sexual assaults - some against children under 13 - were committed in hospitals in England and Wales.
🚩 In Scotland 276 sexual assaults and 12 rapes were committed between 2019 and 2024 in just 57 of Scotland’s 198 hospitals.
The NHS put women and children in harm’s way with its relentless drive for ‘inclusion’ of males in the female estate. The news that the NHS in England will finally comply with the law is good news and long overdue.

“Let gay people be gay.”
A child who does not fit sexist stereotypes needs time, honesty and support — not a rush towards an identity that may lead them away from a happy gay future.

📣 Scrutiny on the draft Conversion Practices Bill started today.
The committee should hear from lawyers, parents, teachers, clinicians and others about the big problems with the bill.

LGB people are being told that the Draft Conversion Practices Bill speaks for us. It does not.
We oppose coercion and cruelty. We also oppose a bill that could make it harder for children who may grow up lesbian, gay or bisexual to be heard and supported.
Watch. Read the stories. Add your name:

Share with everyone on your timeline, your aunt & uncle, your neighbour, the butcher & the baker. They all need to know that the evidence that ‘conversion practices’ are widespread & we need this Bill to plug the gap in a raft of preventive laws that already exist is false.
Raising public awareness is crucial if we are to prevent the criminalisation of parents, teachers, therapists, anyone at all who speaks against the idea that you can change your sex & this change enhances your right to silence non believers. Do your bit & share @BinTheBill_

Need to catch up with the Conversion Practices Draft Bill? Think lesbians & gays are not already protected from torture or coercion so need this Bill? Find out more on @BinTheBill_ and read this thread. We don’t need this bill, it’s not about protection it shuts down dissenters

Jordan Peterson got very emotional in his conversation with Helen Joyce when talking about Ellen Page and the fact she promotes transitioning to her young followers. It’s getting harder to feel sorry for her when she is so pro active in pushing for the transitioning of the young.

Some men are so jealous about women getting together to talk about pelvic health, menstruation and other women's health topics that they believe they have the right to gate crash and make a scene with their neopolitan icecream flags.

A mother on Mumsnet has revealed that her 5 year old daughter - who has learning difficulties - has been told by her school that she must use 'she / her' pronouns for a 5 year old boy in her class who was wearing a dress, even though this has upset her because it's not true
