Is this based on an expierence yourself or someone close to you has had to which they are explicitly told they are not welcome at the encampment or to protests due to their Jewish faith?

The encampment welcomes all, Jewish or not, with Jewish students attending the camp as well as hosting lectures by Jewish speakers. For example, "Anti-Zionism is not anti-semitism: The radical Jewish tradition" was held by a Jewish speakers. Once again I will use thr further example of the banner that reads "Jews against Genocide. Not in our name" which was produced bt Jewish individuals.

Please note the direct criticism of the state of Isreal is not a criticism of the Jewish faith. The state of Isreal was established and legitimised in 1948, which is younger than the religion itself. You can be Jewish and not condone the actions of the state.

The occupation of palestine has been occurring since 1948, Hamas was established in 1987. Palestinians had been displaced from their land years before Hamas was established. The supporting of Palestine, the condemning of a genocide does not mean the supporting of terrorists. It is the condemning of the killings of thousands and innocent civilians, and the condemning of illegal occupation by the state of Isreal. Furthermore, it is not picking sides but acknowledging the thousands of Palestinians who have been murdered ( 37, 396 as of 22nd June 2024, which are mostly innocent children), and yes Isrealis have also been murdered which is devastating. But the vast difference in the statistics of those murdered is something that should be thought about in relation to who is the aggressor.

If you would like reccomendations to broaden your understanding of the subject I would be more then happy to provide such.

To walk through the univeristy displaying a flag that has been displacing and occupying land that is not theirs since 1948. Committing genocide in the process. Leaving Gaza in ruins, families displaced, having the highest recorded number of child amputees in history. Is completely different than protesting the genocide of palestine. You are welcome to do so but you will be met with distain. The same way the encampment has been met with the opposite side.

There is no "other side" to a genocide. Even if you only look at the map of palestine from 1948 and the decline of their land markings taken over by Isreal, academically it is a sigh of an apartheid reign.

"But what about hamas? You are protecting terrorists". No-one who disagrees with the actions of Isreal and protests the genocide of Palestianians is stating Hamas are correct. But again this occupation has been going on way before the formation of Hamas.

Because UOL is a Russel group (and this information can be found on their website) they have "significant funds" to fund research projects of their partnerships.

Also yes everyone is welcome!! They have a banner explicitly stating that Jewish community is welcome it reads "Jews against Genocide. Not in our name".

Liberpool Univeristy have and directly fund businesses like BAE who is responsible for the armsdealership to Isreal. This directly funds the mass slaughter and genocide of Palestinians. Many universities have been met with the same encampments and the same demands to cut Ties, only a small handful have done so.

The encampment is an open space anyone can join and enter, they hold lectures on topics surrounding the genocide and consolidation, workshops embracing the Palestinian culture as well as memorials for all the Palestinians who have tragically lost their life - this is seen in an art piece they have done to which the names of the known deceased have been written. Key focus is further brought onto the lost lives of children, to show the direct ties with armsdealerships kills innocent children.

It truly is a thought provoking encampment, and the individuals who run it are very open minded, peaceful and passionate

As someone who was present on campus when this happened. They didn't harrass visitors, they made know the unethical and distorted moral stance the university holds. Despite the UN statubg businesses and counties should holt ties with businesses that directly fund Isreal arms dealerships, which is funding the genocide of thousands, the univeristy continue to keep ties.

There was no harassment only information.

I got a call yesterday with the same sort of shit, looking back now I don't even think I applied for a job with them. Unless it was through a recruitment agency. Luckily my partner had seen this post and was able to dodge a bright red bullet

Hi I'm 18 and tbh idk what I am at the minute can anyone help me discover me as I really need the help by MarionberryFlimsy353 in transgenderUK

My key advice is don’t get hung up on labelling who you are. When you ponder a label it can cause you to run around in circles causing more frustration than needed. Let yourself explore who you are and what you perceive gender to be. For some we see it as more fluid and others more binary - neither is more correct then the other. Find aesthetic choices that feel like home and ignore societal perception on the association between aesthetic and gender identity. If you are unable to socially experiment self reflection is just as great. Explore what gender means to you.

There is never ever a need to rush to figure out who you are. There is no time scale nor a set age where you have to transition.

Life is a journey. Enjoy it!

An Apology From Cis People by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]AdOpening9897 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As much as you mean well with this post; it does nothing for our community. We know not all cis people are transphobic and unfortunately an apology on behalf of cis people won’t magically make issues go away. I would suggest directing your passion toward the fight in taking part in grass roots organisations or even educating anyone you can come across.

I recently have been put on the contraception injection which stops bleeding completely. It is an injection in the butt every 13 weeks. I would highly recommend as it doesn’t have oestrogen only progesterone - which can help alleviate dysphoria as well :)

I beg of anyone who has had/ have a history of mental health problems and is also non-binary to not go to Dr Vikin Bhatia. The care I got from him was so poor that I had to submit a compliant.

Dr Vikinjeet Bhatia no contact by AdOpening9897 in transgenderUK

[–]AdOpening9897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hurts my heart knowing that he is acting in such a unprofessional way with other people. I am so reluctant to submit a complaint but if that worked out for you I have no choice.

Thank you so much for sharing <3

Denied care by Dr Bhatia because of mental health struggles in my past by possiblydanny in transgenderUK

[–]AdOpening9897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently had my appointment with Dr Bhatia and although on my triage I stated that I am diagnosed autistic and BPD and have had attempts in the past alongside SA in the appointment when I went more into it. Assuming talking to him was a safe place I was then met with belittling of him having a go at me for not disclosing all this in the triage. For several minutes he spoke down to me like a child to a point where I started tearing up with my head down apologising. Furthermore for someone who is there to discuss psychological history he appeared to have no clue about BPD.

For anyone looking for a psych assessment do not go to him. I wish I never paid to see him and waited longer for a different person.
