It was the largest trans protest in British history. We travelled from across the country to central London. We were joined by allies, especially cis gay, lesbian, bisexual, and queer people who recognised the importance of solidarity, of standing together in this moment. Wielding bright flags and banners, we gathered in unprecedented numbers. We to […]
Following the success of A gig for Isaac (and it was a huge success! we raised £800), I’m very excited to announce Glasgow Summer, on Sunday 30 August. I am fully back my nonsense, once again co-organising the gig and playing a set with wormboys. Because why not. Also I made a ridiculous poster, for […]
I’m very excited to be delivering a workshop on public speaking at the Glasgow Solidarity Pride Hub in the Pyramid at Anderston, this coming Saturday! My workshop will take place during the afternoon for about an hour (timings TBC). I’ll be focusing specifically on techniques for addressing a demonstration or public meeting. It’ll be very […]

The room itself was relatively mundane. Some chairs sat around a set of rectangular tables. A blank screen was linked to a computer in […]
The UK is currently sweltering through the hottest June on record. The Met Office has issued a “red warning” for much of England and Wales, highlighting an active danger to life.

Both will be in Wharf Chambers, the most excellent venue in the most excellent city of Leeds. The first of these gigs takes place on Saturday 25th July. I’m actually also co-organising this one, as […]
I have a new peer-reviewed academic article out in the International Journal of Transgender Health, co-authored with my colleagues Cal Horton, Jaimie Veale, Lou Kerley, and Ken Pang. Pathologising Legacy Measures and over-assessment:reconceptualising ethical assessment and data collection practices in trans children’s healthcare The article looks at a range of questionnaires which are in common…
What if every person who emailed you faced the reality of the UK’s segregation regime? Last year I created an internal auto-reply for my work email, in the wake of the 2025 Supreme Court judgement which redefined sex for the purpose of the Equality Act and undermined the civil rights of trans people in Britain.

I am one of the 85 signatories to an open letter to James Palmer, NHS England’s National Medical Director for Specialised Services. We are raising serious concerns about the recent NHS evidence reviews of hormone therapy for trans youth, and subsequent prescribing policy and public consultation. The letter has been published and sent to Palmer […]
I’ll be returning to Yorkshire next week for a very nature-themed gig in Sheffield on Thursday 21 May! My band wormboys will be playing alongside Shrub at Alder – so if nothing else, you’ll leave the event very well-fertilised. Get your tickets here!
