Councillors in southern Oxfordshire say they want to “provide trans and non-binary residents of our district reassurance that they will not be discriminated against in the provision of council services”, with resolutions at July meetings of both South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse councils.

Looks like this is some incredibly bad word -> html conversion -- the actual document is downloadable here standards.nhs.uk/published-st... under "Core Information Standard: Release Notes - Updated April 2026" Looks like they've added gender identity and pronouns to replace the old gender field

Table titled “Summary – Information model changes in this release.” It has four columns: Location, Data item, Update, and Detail. Under “Person demographics,” the data items “Gender” and “Sex” are marked as removed. The detail states that these data items were removed following consultation. A second “Person demographics” row lists newly added data items: “Sex at birth (observed),” “Administrative gender,” “Gender identity,” “Additional information about gender identity,” and “Pronouns.” The update is shown in blue as “Addition of data item(s).” The details state that “Sex at birth (observed)” is mandatory; “Administrative gender” is a required read-only legacy field for England only, representing data held by the Personal Demographics Service (PDS); and all other new data items are required in the core information standard.

Trans women are women, the SC, the bigoted billionaires, the hateful MPs, the grifting jopurnalists and the right-wing funded hate groups are all wrong. "You'd be crazy to choose this life if you didn't have to"

AAT weren't less persuasive at influencing media journalists. They didn't do badly at selling our message. The anti-trans worked top down. They had the media owners & chief editors already actively on their side. They used this power to impose one message across the media. It's always about power.

Wow the conversion exception for healthcare providers is a MILE wide. Overt & explicit conversion against trans & gay people is FINE & not a conversion practice, i) when conducted by a healthcare provider ii) so long as doesn't 'fall far below the standards reasonably expected in their profession'

Draft bill on conversion practices is out. Lots of loopholes in it www.gov.uk/government/publications/draft-conversion-practices-bill/conversion-practices-draft-bill

The Empty City@davidallengreen.bsky.social · last mo.

So near, so "far". Spot the difference the word "far" has in clause 1(3) of this draft Bill. Even if one takes this exemption seriously, why "far" below rather than below? This is an exemption which swallows the prohibtiton.

Note the use of “intention” in this exception, it’s a glaring admission that the NHS’s “gender exploratory therapy” is conversion therapy with the explicit intent to deny the person’s gender identity

A screenshot of part of the Conversion Practices draft bill, as follows: (3) Conduct which— (a) is carried out by a person towards an individual with such an intention, but (b) is carried out in the course of providing health care services to the individual concerned, is not a conversion practice unless the person acts in a way that falls far below the standards reasonably expected of a person in their position.
