Good news - I have now updated the Queer Menopause resources page! There's been a lot happening in 2024.

Next time someone says “it’s just a bit of vaginal dryness”
Show them this ⤵️
It’s barbaric that we leave women with these symptoms when Topical Vaginal Oestrogen, used twice weekly is literally life saving
This is a really important thread.
(And if you are a cis woman in menopause you may wish to reflect on how this could eventually impact you too.)

Now this is a thread. And in my experience of groups, 10% of the people end up doing 90% of the work, and that is now the extraction/burnout pipeline is perpetuated. Choose your associates carefully and keep asking yourself the question 'Who and what is this for?'

We're considerably more visible than we were 72 hours ago. A short thread on our work.
Focus group on trans and non-binary experiences of menopause! Please share in your networks. #menopause #lgbtq

It was a joy to finally meet @tania_glyde in person after only having connected online previously.
I’ve learned such a lot from them about #QueerMenopause @MenopauseQueer
Do take a look at their website which contains links to lots of useful resources: queermenopause.com/mission-1

Wow, @BBCPanorama! What a wasted opportunity! You could have exposed the very real inequalities in #Menopause care but instead you offered a clumsy mess. Any any unexamined critique of hormone prescribing, as you well know, may be politicised and lead to restrictions... 1/2
...which is the last thing we need. Lots of us haven't forgotten your terrible #ADHD programme which was so misleading and did so much harm. #Menopause 2/2

On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.

Today it was determined that the emergency ban on puberty blockers was lawful.
It was also:
•Scandalous
•Harmful
•Prejudiced
•Double standards
•Discriminatory
•Unkind
•Medically negligent
•Wrong
It is not for politicians to make decisions about clinical pathways. These decisions should always be made carefully, be based on the best evidence available, and be made by expert clinicians responsible for providing such healthcare.

Great spot, this. @FeverTreeMixers and @Starbucks on the partnership banner for the Republican National Convention.

As always, the media are clustering around #VichyNige like flies on sh1t. But the Green result is far more remarkable, as it happened without the massive publicity Reform was given.
Queer Menopause Project retweeted
Can't help but see the BBC devoting something like 20 times more airtime to Reform than the Greens, despite both making historic gains and new inroads, a prime example of how we got into this mess in the first place.

🏳️⚧️⚖️ WE HAVE A HEARING DATE ⚖️🏳️⚧️
@TransActualUK will face the new government’s Department of Health and Social Care to stop the ban on puberty blockers on 12 July – next Friday.

Just published this Instragram post, expanding on a Twitter thread I wrote last year on LGBTQ+ rights from an Islamic perspective. 1/
