🎃 Lisafer 🎃

I recently completed a clinical education dissertation that asked members of the #transgender, #nonbinary and gender non-conforming community what they wanted doctors to know about their healthcare. I then carried out a thematic analysis to identify 15 main themes (1/18)

There is no justification for conversation practices. None.

"Are you phoning on behalf of her?" I am her 😏

Femboys against Fascism

Went to try a new place in town today, saw the menu and went elsewhere. I don't understand why it's so hard to photograph your food, or why anyone would think this looked appetising #aislop

Oh no

I'm doing support group stuff today, and its always welcome to be able to be in a supportive space and have nothing but positivity towards me and our group from the others who are here. Plus I got to call myself lovely on the other account, and have a pile of sweets to slowly work my way through.

Absolutely devastated to find out my dear friend Samara passed away at the weekend. She found friends wherever she went, and it breaks my heart that there were ever times where she couldn't see just how much she was loved. Thoughts are very much with all of her chosen family x

We're publishing new guidance to support trans people who do fieldwork (any work outside the office)! Now we need your help to get them seen so please share! inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans/

"If medical schools and universities don't want the literature to be overwhelmed with garbage," Oransky said, "then they should probably stop giving every applicant ... an incentive to publish a lot of crap."

We have a relatively dry weekend coming up if anyone has some time to give? Get in touch!

Hey AI, do I enjoy music? Does buying tickets for a live music event suit me?

If we had safe routes into the country for those seeking asylum I bet that would 'stop the boats'

Just been sent a document from a colleague from their personal AOL email address, so I feel it's only right I reply from my Hotmail.

I really struggle with is the fact I still get adverts that use my deadname. No matter how many times I get reassurances from customer services that its been updated, a few days later and bam there's another one. A jarring reminder that there will always be those who just can't accept me

Just looked at this and realised that wait was when I got the email. From referral to walking through the door was 8 years, 11 months and 17 days. Two weeks off 9 years.

8 years, 8 months, 11 days. That's how long it took from my referral to my first appointment with an NHS gender clinic, though won't get any care or support until at least my next appointment which could be another year or two away. Looking forward to finally finding out if I'm trans 🏳️‍⚧️⚧️🤞😏

A wonderful event full of fabulous people, please do come along and meet our team if you're nearby. (also there's wrestling)

Playing DnD and needed a character profile - sure I could have used AI but why create soulless slop when my art skills are perfectly adequate. I think we can all agree I've captured the essence of a halfling druid with stunning detail.

Great to see Hemp doing well 😏

Delay Repay is the dumbest bit of bureaucracy. Train journey with two carriers was an hour late getting in, but the one responsible rejected my claim and told me I should claim off the one that was on time. Required a different account. There really should be a single unified system for it.

Spent the weekend at Burn It Down in Torquay - Amazing festival that constantly delivers. So many highlights, but ending three days with Heriot, Locked Shut and Speed doing no barrier shows back to back in The Foundry is going to stay with me for a long time.

Excellent paper that captures the bleak reality of trying to find work when you're trans+. I will never pass & published before name change so my CV outs me. Finding work was tough, but I'm lucky to be somewhere I'm valued. Being visible is a very powerful statement papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The decision taken by the Welsh Gender Service to pause all gender affirming surgery is just so cruel. The rationale behind it, that they get more referrals than England, doesn't hold up to scrutiny. It just implies England should be doing more affirmative care cavuhb.nhs.wales/news/latest-...

Fuck ICE, but this is objectively very funny www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I grew up here and could tell you about all the people who lived in the pubs, shops and houses shown in the top left picture. Now I can't afford to live there because of the second homes and airbnb. More property, more demand, fewer people, less community.

Sad news about Tim Curry. It reminded me about this from back when the other place was actually good.

Yes it is a complete mystery who is responsible for whipping up anti-pride, anti LGBT, and anti-trans sentiments. If only there were clues www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sadness in his eyes

The last paragraph of this correspondence The Lancet published following the Supreme Court's judgement is 'Chef's Kiss' perfection www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Last week The Lancet, arguably the most trusted journal in medicine, published an editiorial condemning attacks on LGBTQ+ healthcare and vigorously reaffirmed the necessity of gender-affirming care for both adults and minors. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Attacks on LGBTQ+ health are a threat to all “The rollback of LGBTQ+ rights is a warning: movements that seek to undermine LGBTQ+ people are those that seek to control all of us—our freedom of expression, our personal medical decisions, and our privacy. “ 👉🏻 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Serious questions should be asked about any academic who signs this. Freedom of speech doesn't make racism acceptable.

hey babe, how do you rate yourself on a scale of zero to spiderman punching a nazi?

Not only the 'Beat Girl', she had a Mirror front page in '66 with the headline 'SIN AND MINI SKIRTS' by protesting Billy Graham's views on mini skirts on his car in Soho, & if ever I have a trans dream its to be front page news with a story that has paragraph headings that say 'Angry' and 'Artistry'

Awarding an honorary doctorate to Toyah is honestly pretty based, but Helen Lewis? Really? I feel so sorry for the trans+ staff and students at Worcester Uni watching them reward someone who has routinely used their platform to delegitimise trans+ lives www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/2648347...

Getting tied up in terminology. I like trans+ as its a community driven term, but the WPATH SOC8 uses TGD (transgender and gender diverse) as an umbrella term which seems a better choice academically. What I really want to say is "Do you identify as 'Not Cis'? Then this paper has you covered 😌"

Some more details of my involvement at Safety Through Solidarity which takes place this coming Sunday

Received a critical hit in the post this morning 😔
