I only just realised it's #internationallesbianday! So much to celebrate but still so much to fight for. Sending extra love to all of our trans lesbian siblings this year #LwiththeT #TransRightsAreHumanRights

First #LesbianVisibilityDay as a sometimes (in)visible lesbian parent. Feeling very lucky ❤️ (this is the only picture I have of us both without his face 😅)

Would love to see more authors being mindful when describing eating disorders. Numbers, quantities and weight loss drug names aren't essential for your narrative and can be unnecessarily triggering 🤦♀️
This is huge. We had to use a private clinic to conceive our son just because we are a same sex couple - Im so happy for everyone who will now have easier access to NHS IVF. Next, lets remove the extra barriers for two unmarried women to be listed on birth certificates #IVFforAll
HUGE WIN! Lesbians, bi women and trans people will no longer face additional barriers to accessing IVF, following our #IVFforAll campaign. This wouldn't have been possible without the help of our supporters, who campaigned alongside us for this change 🫶🌈
ALT Nancy Kelley, CEO at Stonewall, (she/her) said: 'We are delighted that the UK Government has listened to our call for fair and equal access to IVF treatment. For years, lesbians, bi women and trans people have been forced to pay for up to £25,000 of private healthcare before they can access IVF on the NHS, or face giving up their dream of becoming parents. 'This is a giant step towards a world where LGBTQ+ people have the same opportunity as everyone else to build a loving, thriving family of their own.’

Small things we can all do to help people struggling with eating disorders:
-dont comment on other peoples bodies
-dont pass judgement on what other people eat
-stop normalising diet talk
-stop moralising food (no food is bad/junk/dirty) #MentalHealthMatters

Thanks @VCUWE perfect timing! This week in the level 1 module Understanding Organisations and People we're looking at Leadership 👍
Covid19 has taught us a great deal about the Hunan mind and spirit. Leaders must be authentic, values driven but above all empathetic. How many organisation appoint leaders who have emotional intelligence as a fundamental part of their being?
