On the existence of females. A thread. Some time ago, I lived in a house that has a number of peafowl living in the garden. (Long story). They used to come in the house and steal my cats' food.

Day 6 | PM Session | Peggie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton 🧨Weaponising Narrative: From Fabricated Logs to Hate Reports It began with an email. On 29 December 2023, just hours after a fraught exchange in the women’s changing room, Dr. Kate Searle sent a message to every consultant in…
L.A. Children’s has shut down its youth gender clinic under federal pressure. They treated kids as young as THREE YEARS OLD. They performed over 160 surgeries on minors. Clinic director Johanna Olson-Kennedy is being sued for prescribing puberty blockers after one visit— and…
Youth gender clinics are closing across the US — even in California. @nytimes reports families in panic. Parents were told by experts: transition or your child might die. There was never evidence for that. The panic is real. The threat never was. nytimes.com/2025/07/22/us/…
I spend so much of my time defending the BBC but this is indefensible. It makes zero sense to anyone who's read even a few lines about this tribunal. A MAN wanted to force a woman to change in front of him. The NHS wanted to punish her for saying no. That's it. That's the story.
The BBC view the tribunal through the lens of the "distress" of Dr Upton. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
What made go back and read the February testimony was seeing this BBC "timeline" of the Sandie Peggie case which just cried out omission. The key parts missed added by me. The fact Peggie was drove to try to confront Upton directly by NHS Fife illegal practice is far clearer 1/

In which @nhsfife suffer a "coordinated failure" to disclose vital discussions to the Tribunal.
Day 5 | PM Session | Peggie v NHS Fife & Dr Upton How to Bury an Email (and a Woman’s Rights) The fifth day of Peggie v Fife NHS Board & Dr. Upton closed with two afternoon sessions that drilled straight into the case’s procedural and moral core. Dr. Kate Searle - A&E…
An extraordinary read. Day by day it is revealed how senior NHS Fife staff prioritized Dr Upton's wants & histrionics over everything else, The way the whole institution ground into action to cosset & enable him when a woman objected is mind-boggling.
We're tweeting the second afternoon session of Peggie v Fife NHS Board and Dr Upton. Naomi Cunningham will be cross examining ED consultant Kate Searle.
A conspiracy from @nhsfife to mislead the employment tribunal! A very serious accusation.
NC I suggest u conspired not to produce it Absolutely not. I'm a dr and trustworthy. NC Yr regulator wld be concerned about this if you hadnt? KS we have to work w honesty and integrity
I expect at any moment now Kate Searl is going to pound the desk and yell "you can't handle the truth".
Not one part of this makes sense, because it is a lie.
While we are waiting to hear from Dr Searle at #SandiePeggie tribunal, I’d like to ask doctor colleagues from NHS Fife Trust, why have they allowed this demonstrable nonsense? “Intersex” is not an ”identity“. Medical conditions are not identities to opt in or out of.
What is behind all the cheap tourist tat shops and sweetshops? Great investigation here... londoncentric.media/p/asf-aziz-lon…
I’m detecting some undertones are not happy with the water report.
Put this man in charge of the new water regulator. @SteveReedMP @Keir_Starmer @Feargal_Sharkey

I’ll be honest, I’m really enjoying the final season of NHS Fife.
NEW: NHS Fife says it is "surprised and disappointed" by information commissioner @DvdHmltn's remarks tonight. Full story: thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/52…
It is just not possible to think down to their level.
entitled to use the f cr. NC - so it was discriminatory to raise the issue at all? GM - yes. J - time for a 5 minute break I think. Court rises.
