UK Supreme Court just ruled that law defines women as people born biologically female. This is a huge win for women, men, and sanity in the UK and the West. Now every country needs to get onboard and recognize in law what is a woman. Congratulations to UK women!

Newly qualified midwives left devastated due to lack of vacancies. My niece so upset after working so hard to be faced with no job! Im so sad for her 🥲

Brilliant research by @brainkinduk on the prevalence of brain injuries in survivors of #DomesticAbuse. #TooManyToCount 'When a victim seeks help, its imperative frontline staff understand not only the impact of trauma and abuse, but also the potential for brain injury.'

Oh good grief @VictoriaAtkins. What is your point here? Autistic people and people with learning disabilities are much more likely to be harmed than they are to harm. It’s risk averse clinicians who are the problem here not their patients!
