Homie gonna share this

Gonna look for confirmation but I've seen a claim relating to the news that the NHS is going to force GICs to hand over patient records to look for evidence of detransition, that the criteria they are going to use is if the patient has a GRC.

I dont have a solid source yet. Do not panic yet. But if true I will lose my fucking mind.

Confirmed by prof. Stephen whittle. Fuck.

The reccomendation is write to your GIC with the following:

“I do not give my permission for any aspect of my patient data to be submitted to, or collected for, the purpose of any research without my express permission in writing being obtained in advance”.

AND if you want a GRC get one ASAP. The wait time has increased so do both.

Reblog this post its important.

Who are big name tumblr users who post trans politics that we can tag

I've said the source. Professor Stephen whittle. He is on twitter.

stephen whittle on twitter:

"(...) The data link study looks at whether transition leads to a Gender recognition certificate, as ‘evidence of successful treatment”. That implies if a GIC patient doesn’t obtain gender recognition the treatment & transition has not been successful.

As I research showed most people only apply for a GRC when needed eg to marry, adopt or retire. I advise ALL GIC clinic patients (including PAST) patients who do not wish their data to be used in this way to write to their GIC a short letter stating'

“I do not give my permission for any aspect of my patient data to be submitted to, or collected for, the purpose of any research without my express permission in writing being obtained in advance”.

I also suggest that all who are able to meet the current criteria, apply for Gender Recognition as soon as possible."

the twitter thread is twelve tweets long and you can find it here at this link or just search @stephenwhittle on twitter and he has his thread and replies to it right at the top of his profile currently (12th April). risu is sharing the exact advice shared by prof whittle and now yall have the link so please keep yourselves aware of what's going on.

also about to go chain smoke about this since nonbinary genders aren't legally recognised here so the grc option for a lot of people (including me) isn't fucking possible.

I don't have Twitter and so can't view more than the first tweet, so I don't know if this is clarified in the thread. But:

Is this in England specifically, or UK-wide? Because healthcare is a devolved issue, so is this so institutional that Westminster is forcing it through on Wales, Scotland and NI, or is this limited to England?

Everything surrounding the cass report (including this) applies only to England

Thank you!

once again.

The new york times is a rag made by american millionaires who were mad at the daily tribune for publishing Marx's editorials.

They have ALWAYS had a bourgeois class nature, and they will ALWAYS be a bourgeois mouthpiece. They should never be trusted and all their reporting must be taken with a grain of salt.

a video call for help from @haya-orouq19 who is in gaza

[Transcript: Please don't scroll if you want to help a family in Gaza. Hey everyone, this is Haya Orouq, I am 18 years old from Gaza City. Today is the 167th day of the war in Gaza City. And through this war we lost our house, my university was bombed. My whole childhood neighborhood area was completely damaged. We have been displaced to three different places in search of a safer place but unfortunately there's no safer place in Gaza. Everywhere there's bombing, everywhere is dangerous, so we are now displaced in Deir al-Balah. And me and my family lost everything, we have nothing left here in Gaza.

And my mom is very sick also, she is suffering from Lupus and because she has Lupus, she is a kidney failure patient in need of an urgent treatment and care outside of Gaza. The hospitals here is so poor and bad and the quality of her treatment is getting worse and worse because the quality of the hospitals is bad, because of the conditions of the war. So please guys, help my family, we deserve to- we deserve a decent life, we deserve to start a new beginning and deserve a new life.

So, here's the link in the bio and you can help me by sharing the video, repost, comment, like, whatever you can do can help. Every one dollar can make a difference. You can make life-changing difference to my family, you can save my family, you can save my mom. I am also trying to reach out to as many celebrities who are interested in helping people like me by making videos about the family that needs help in Gaza, like me. So I will mention them in the comment and please go to them, ask them to share my videos, and to make a video about my campaign and ask them to share my link. This is so urgent, I need your help guys because my account is prevented from receiving and sending messages so I can't reach out with them. I will mention them so please help me, and help my family.

I can't bear seeing my mom struggling with death because she has a dangerous disease which is Lupus and she is a kidney failure patient and I can't bear seeing my older sister suffering from hunger. So please guys, you can do it and please make #HelpHayasFamily. Share this video, whatever you can do can help. You can share the link as widely as possible, you can share the video. End of transcript.]

you can donate to her campaign here!
