The system is really set up to just keep retraumatising us. Because how can I give birth in June @NHSHomerton and not get a birth debrief appointment until January? How many people is this happening to ? May have to do an FOI because wth .
One week ago, on my birthday I gave birth to the most beautiful gift. Yet, this post isn’t anything like I thought it would be. With all the tools I have at my disposal I find myself initiated into a club nobody wishes to be a part of. The thousands experiencing birth trauma 1/5

It’s so easy to amplify bias it’s frightening! If AI systems rely on Body Mass Index (BMI), they amplify bias, leading to unequal treatment for Black and Brown men and women. This could automate misdiagnoses & systemic discrimination in healthcare access. @CBCFInc

If humans can't have Sports Day for adults without being transphobic it should be cancelled and everyone has to do normal lessons inside until we can be trusted to behave

Hi! Popping on to wish everyone a good day at London trans pride today. I’ve decided against attending. Whilst previously supporting the slogan “Puberty blockers are reversible. Suicide is not.” This morning I find I can’t face being immersed in that sentiment. #transyouthmatter

From being relentlessly bullied because of my weight as a child in secondary school to speaking on a panel at Harvard on weight stigma and fatphobia is a wild pipeline. I’m so proud of myself in this moment tbh. 🥹 a personal win for me.

Israel bombed this school while kids played football. At least 29 have so far been reported killed, many of them children. Don't look away.
Kids and families playing football. Israel hated that. So they bombed them. Simple as that.
