When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

When people ask 'who can I vote for?', just say 'dot co dot uk'. Then if they're puzzled, repeat WhoCanIVoteFor.co.uk :) After that, if they say 'Where Do I Vote?' you can show them WhereDoIVote.co.uk. Equally pleasing. Two fab services from Democracy Club.

If you haven't been following what's happening in the UK, the Good Law Project has announced that they've been in contact with multiple whistleblowers from the NHS GIDs and have learned of sixteen young people who have died since the initial Bell ruling in 2020, after which blockers were paused.

So the UK govt is currently banning access to puberty blockers even via private clinics. The ban comes in 3 June and then - weirdly - ends 2nd Sept. So stock up URGENTLY - Maugham recommends getting a shot to carry you over the line. Twitter thread: x.com/JolyonMaugha...
