I hadn't planned on switching to a Twitter alternative, but recent events have shown me that connections are more important than ever and that silence isn't enough. So I've gone to where the skies are bluer - see you there? x.

I *loved* Twitter: a great Town Square for seeing cool new science, sharing new stuff, larking about & even discussion. But X seems to be run by a near-fascist punching down. I can’t in all conscience stay, so I’m out till @elonmusk is out. Ta everyone for all the fun – bye! x.

This thread is *so* important. It highlights that the ban on puberty blockers was imposed against civil service and health-professional advice, deliberately ignoring the significant and urgent risk of harm to some of the people affected. Please @wesstreeting - reconsider!.
I have some questions for @wesstreeting. 🧵.
