since when does a self diagnosis of depression get you access to "mental health benefits" in the uk.
🚨 NEW: Former Prime Minister Tony Blair says Brits should stop self-diagnosing themselves with depression as the UK can’t afford the ‘spiralling mental health benefits bill’. [@LBCNews].

That's Ellen Murray MBE to you. or not, because I turned it down. Though flattered, I will never be comfortable accepting something so closely entwined with the horrors of the British Empire.

Transphobes are just 1980s homophobes with twitter accounts.
There we have it leading anti-trans activist calls #Pride a gathering of “fetishists, perverts and paedophiles”. Don’t be in ANY doubt that these people aren’t coming for gay rights next. Our trans siblings need our support now, time to join the fightback.

Rubber bullets were invented by the British Army for use in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. They're far from safe, they cause permanent injuries and they can and do kill people. They're not "non-lethal".
Wild that we're still seeing a narrative of rubber bullets being safe when they've repeatedly been shown to cause serious injuries, such as permanently blinding people, and even deaths. 'Rubber bullets are safe' is propaganda, don't fall for it.

Transgender people are no longer considered as having a mental or behavioural disorder under the International Classification of Diseases as of today! 🎉. A long way to go but this is a crucial movement towards depathologisation of trans people in healthcare and law. #transdepath
#transdepath We are sure you have already heard the great news, but. @WHO have released an online version of the ICD-11 which removes trans identities from the mental health disorders chapter. Read TGEU's statement here: .

Reminder that a year ago, after @thegoodcatboy was recognised in the Scottish Parliament for contributing to @Hbomberguy's great fundraiser, Scottish transphobes implied the cat was sectarian because his fur is orange in colour. It brought life to my bones. I love it so much.
