IN THE NEWS
National Health Service England stops prescribing puberty blockers, citing 'not enough evidence'
The unraveling of the case for gender affirming care continues. From USAToday: “The National Health Service England announced Tuesday it will not routinely prescribe puberty blockers for children and young people experiencing gender dysphoria.
The decision posted online referenced research collected by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2020 that raised concerns of uncertainty in the treatment's efficacy and potential side effects.”
When will the U.S. follow suit?
WHAT WE’RE READING
THE WOMEN WHO WOULDN'T WHEESH by Susan Dalgety and Lucy Hunter Blackburn
On the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament, this book captures an important moment in contemporary history: how a grassroots women's movement took on the political establishment - and changed the course of history.
Through a collection of over thirty essays and photographs, some of the women involved tell the story of the five-year campaign to protect women's sex-based rights. Author J.K. Rowling explains why she used her global reach to stand up for women. Leading SNP MP Joanna Cherry writes of how she risked her political career for her beliefs. Survivors of male violence who MSPs refused to meet are given the voice they were denied at Holyrood.
It is the story of women who risked their job, reputation, even the bonds of family and friendship, to make their voices heard, and ended up - unexpectedly - contributing to the downfall of Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's first woman first minister.
