Gender activism in the health service is alive and well.
The LGBT NHS conference was a day of special pleading for more funding, a conversion therapy ban, and an end to the ban on puberty blockers for children.

Ex BBC journo, dedicated time waster with immense social capital. Feminist. It's not possible to be born in the wrong body. #CourageCalls 🇮🇱
- Rosie Duffield MP says she'll leave the Labour Party if Eddie Izzard gets onto an all woman shortlist. Good for her. #LabourLosingWomen #LabourConference2022
- "We speak to a pregnant man..." Please @BBCr4today ask the hard questions and stop insulting the intelligence of your audience! Tell us - just how does a man get pregnant??
- My account was suspended today and all my followers and those I followed have been lost. A retweet of this would really get me back in touch with them. Still here to safeguard children from gender nonsense and draw attention to harms of gender 'medicine'
- Beautiful morning. My son just phoned to say he heard Fox Fisher on @BBCr4today today and it seems he has been 'peak transed' He'd only been mildly following what was going on before. "I've got it now, Ma" #CourageCalls
- Yes it has gone. The BBC's information page titled Gender Identity has gone along with links to Mermaids, the LGBT Foundation, the Gender Trust and Gires. Instead there is a generic link to LGBT page. Is sanity prevailing?
- Infuriating to listen to MPs spinning out a Private Members bill on pet welfare, name checking their dogs and cats. Unlikely that Liz Truss's bill banning hormones for under 18s will be heard now. Who will name check all the poor children harmed by puberty blockers?
- Shadow defence minister Maria Eagle intervened 15 times, saying 'ferret' 16 times in today's debate on animal welfare, ensuring there was no parliamentary time for Liz Truss's bill which would ban puberty blockers for children. We see where Labour's priorities lie, Maria.
- If the new fact checking service, BBC Verity, launched by @deborahturness is to be taken seriously, it must not let statements like "We speak to a pregnant man" go unchallenged. @BBCr4today @BBCNews"We speak to a pregnant man..." Please @BBCr4today ask the hard questions and stop insulting the intelligence of your audience! Tell us - just how does a man get pregnant??
- @BBCNews There are multiple problems with the quality of journalism in this piece by Ben Hunte, your newly appointed LGBT correspondent. BBC News - Munroe Bergdorf: NSPCC cuts ties with transgender activist
- Replying to @charlesworth10211/ I know there are people at the BBC who agree with all of the above but are unable to say or do anything. This is not good enough. The BBC must overhaul its whole approach to the trans debate. Millions of women will thank you for it.
- Senior managers at the Tavistock admit they WILL be sued over treatment path for children. Shocking. Polly Carmichael comes out of this very badly #Newsnight #CourageCalls
- Activist clinicians were behind the refusal to share crucial data with the Cass Review. What were they trying to hide? My report on the gender clinics whose patients are overwhelmingly young women under 25, most likely with other mental health issues.
- Replying to @charlesworth1027/ Why is the BBC content to let their standard of journalism drop when dealing with LGBT issues? They don't employ anti-vaxxers to be health correspondents, or climate change deniers at environment. But with LGBT issues words like transphobia get idly and ignorantly dropped in.
