I know, but it's important that any way we can bend the law to actually support trans people it's important we're aware of it. Unfortunately if it's at the discretion of an individual who's evaluating cases it's unlikely we can make any use of it.
So similar to what we see in the courts, if a trans person tried to raise an issue they would be told that their situation doesn't apply most likely. Awful stuff.
Obviously better that it didn't exist, but could it be used to ensure universities platform trans speakers and fine them if they don't take action against anti-trans protests?
Are staff lacking confidence in how to use it? Are they worried about being replaced by AI? No, it's shit. We don't want to use it cuz it's shit.
Take away discussions have all been about how we can increase ai usage in the NHS, nothing questioning about why we should bother.
A slide describing NHS staff usage of AI Findings from stakeholder engagement 1. Adoption is a bigger issue thanaccess Use remains patchy across teams and roles. Access, licences and confidence are all shaping uptake. 2. Practical implementation is the key challenge, not just the tech Benefits depend on workflow, local context and basic digital foundations, not just software capability. 3. Skills are shifting towards judgement, review & confidence Al is changing the nature of work, with more emphasis on checking, evaluating and using outputs appropriately 4. Governance and value are unresolved There is still limited clarity on purpose, boundaries of use, accountability and how success should be measured.

Interesting slide from an NHS ai network discussion. Looking into implementing AI into the NHS, staff aren't using it, don't know how to use it, have to spend their time double checking and correcting when they do use it, and there is no guidance around how they should be using it.
The NHS is referring parents supporting trans kids to social services and training staff that kids can be transed by their parents. Any conversion therapy ban passed by this government is going to be able to be used to punish adults who support trans kids.
Probably the most depressing parts of this were:
1) The sheer number of fascist minor parties I had to read about
2) Labour being by a distance the most obsessively anti-trans of every major party, miles more hostile than *REFORM*
Amazing work! Something truly to be proud of!
There really is no reason to think being trans-exclusive will save them any seats. They're doing it because they want to exclude trans people, not to try and appeal to an electorate which either don't care or are going to be voting for greens or tories/reform.
Would referral to Prevent have helped? I thought there wasn't much evidence that it was an effective programme.
An increase in poverty can still affect the whole society, even if those in the middle have more income on paper. They may need to support family members, it can reduce the number and quality of local businesses, it can have an impact on crime levels etc.
A conversion therapy ban is far more likely to be used to punish parents of trans children who affirm their kids gender than those who abuse them.
I imagine it's to help keep his lgbtq+ image. When I spoke to my MP he assumed that the people from LGBTQ+ communities would be really in favour of Streeting because he's a gay man.
Nice, gonna get crates of them!
Can you buy duplicates as well once unlocked? What's the price?
Demonisation of "an increase in diagnosis for young girls", literally straight from the anti trans handbook.
Of course no mention that girls were historically undiagnosed because of the shitty theories that autism is an "extreme male brain" that is a result of men being too logical and rational.
Scare quotes on "self-identify", as we always knew the successful attacks on trans people exacerbates attacks on neurodivergent and disabled folk.
Also hilarious that the problem seems to be "people got diagnosis to get support with the issues they had", absolutely scandalous.
People who are sceptical about trans people won't learn to treat others as valid by being told they are in a training room.
They need to see that trans people are actually people who deserve respect and autonomy independantly of what NHS guidance says, particularly as NHS gets more and more GC.
I think one of the biggest issues in the NHS is outlined in Abi Thorn's video on conversion therapy: youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...
Trans people are not seen as an authority on their experience, clinicians keep authority on how to interact with trans people. It's dehumanising, leading to GC beliefs.
Maybe the person gets directed to that, or maybe the person gets directed to the multiple NHS developed training resources which promote conversion therapy.
Do we even know if the resource you linked is good? It was developed with trans people as a source, but even the Cass review says that.
I actually saw the exact wording from the singular post by someone else on reddit with none of the preluding posts, no context, and no source pointing to his thread. Unfortunately his words travel and phrasing like that does matter.
This is particularly the case when anti-trans views can be subtle to someone unfamiliar with how they work meaning they may not recognise if colleagues or official resources they are pointed to lean that way.
For anyone wanting to learn that it's not a bad thing to be trans and to consider how they would work with trans people professionally, they will learn more from trans lead organisations compared to trying to find it in the NHS.
We know there are significant efforts in the NHS to stop people transitioning. The training that has been put out NHS wide is incredibly transphobic and encourages preventing children from even socially transitioning.
Don't want to give you too many mixed messages but with the NHS being completely occupied by conversion therapy advocates pointing her to a trans led resource like trans actual or mermaids may be better.
Thematically as well Horde are fantasy monsters. Orcs, minotaurs, zombies, and elves are the classic vampire. They are all a twist on what is traditionally seen as monstrous, and vampires are in our horror canon because we know there's more to being horrific than just what you look like.
Totally agree, and I got blocked for something I thought was pretty innocuous too. I want to hear about libdems doing good stuff! She does not give me confidence. Just wanted to point it out.
I believe she is trans from what I've seen just FYI.
Man, I was hoping this was a chance to learn that a political party might actually consider doing something about how billionaires can take advantage of the legal system, instead I just get blocked. :/
