@alicemydaughter.bsky.socialReposted by @wearequeeraf.comYour regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria.

@wearequeeraf.comNiger’s crackdown on asexual “practices” is not isolated to the West African nation - it’s part of a greater trend of anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric worldwide
@wearequeeraf.com🆕 With only three gender clinics of the 13 we asked disclosing discrete patient suicide figures, this means the true number of trans patients dying by suicide is likely to be higher.
@natacha.bsky.socialReposted by @wearequeeraf.comThe huge number of deaths by trans people under the care of NHS gender clinic shows that it is time more people with lived experience become involved in governance and oversight of NHS gender clinics. It is also time the NHS was forced to maintain proper patient records.
