Ever year I take the time to write up my reflections on the year before.

On May 8th and May 9th 2025, the Conference of Representatives of Local Medical Committees will meet, and on the agenda are two motions of interest (motions 8 and 19) which would impact on trans healthcare in the UK.

Dear Lucy Powell MP, Manchester’s trans community needs a champion in government.

Yes.

At the end of every year I reflect on the year that came before, it’s a process I find hugely informative and cathartic and I’ve got a lot running through my head as I sketch out this year’s post.

Dear Lucy Powell, I write as Manchester’s first openly transgender councillor, on behalf of the below trans people, allies and organisations which represent the trans community in Manchester Central.

I last blogged about my autism almost a decade ago.

I remember finishing work last night feeling a sense of satisfaction.

I usually start these by looking back at last year’s reflection blog post and see what I thought this year would bring.
