You need to tag all the #GenocideJoe people on this, because yes, we've been through this before: "both candidates are the same", but they won't be for all the #gay, #transgender, #disabled, #black, #immigrant, #anarchist, #Ukrane, or #palestinian people who these people are talking about throwing under the bus over "principles".

No one has ever changed the election system with "#boycot the vote" campaigns, they've only allowed people who want to make it worse to take more power.

No, the Democrat candidate is not our first choice. I like her, and I think she'll do good, but she's not #Warren or #Sanders, though they're campaigning for her. Bigger picture though: we have made MASSIVE progress with the Democrat party since 2016, and we have a real shot at getting rid of the #TwoParty system in the next couple decades, maybe even the end of this one, but there's only one path to victory there, and it's not by letting the party that wants to get rid of the #democracy itself get reelected.

We're hearing increasing reports of GPs refusing to prescribe HRT for trans people, even when they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic.

If this happens to you or has happened to you in the past year:

Content warning: Urgent PSA for all trans folk referred to London GIC (aka Tavistock GIC, Tavistock and Portman; formerly Charing Cross) who are still on the waiting list Reveal/hide

Hey folks

You may receive an SMS text from +44 7860 039092 or similar. It will read along the lines of:

From: Tavistock GIC

Hello, you are on the waiting list waiting to be seen at the GIC you were referred between 20## - 20##. We understand during this wait some patients will no longer wish or need to be seen.

Please respond to our question via our secure portal within the next 14 days. https://drdoctor.thirdparty.nhs.uk/???????????????

Thank you.

We've seen screenshots of people of people referred 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. This was the Reddit post that made us aware of this. A friend of ours, referred in 2019-2020, received and responded last week.

It very much looks like the NHS powers that be have contracted a third party to reach out to patients on this GIC's waiting list, in the hopes that many won't respond in time for any number of reasons. They're trying to artificially reduce their huge waiting list via nefarious means, rather than tackling the systemic issues.

If you have been referred to this GIC and haven't yet received an SMS text, or you have changed your mobile phone number or any other details, you can attempt to log in to the main login portal without the unique code.

Please note that you may not be able to log in to their portal without this third party having been sent your details. We'd highly recommend that if you've not yet received an SMS text and were referred between 2019 and 2021 that you urgently message both your NHS GP surgery and the GIC via email (gic@nhs.net) or phone number.

Please spread this far and wide. People need to know about this, so they don't lose their place in the queue and have to be referred again 🥺

Lives could literally depend on this 😞
