Hi + thanks for tuning in to this @docsnotcops takeover so far tonight, here from 7-9pm. Now we’ll be talking about the public health impacts of charging migrants to use NHS services #PatientsNotPassports This @docsnotcops takeover has health workers, activists, campaigners bringing the real stories of the harms of charging to Twitter - I’m a doctor in central London and can't stand how distressing and harmful the charges are @TheBMA #PatientsNotPassports

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP THE ROJAVA REVOLUTION? - a thread>

Not everyone can travel to Northern Syria, of course. But everyone can do their part to defend the democratic, ecological, women-led revolution here – particularly people in the UK. (1/6) (@CommuneInt) As we shared earlier, you can pressure the cowardly British government to bring Anna Campbell’s body back home.

You can also contact @KurdsCampaign to find out more about organising to support the Rojava revolution from the UK. (2/6)

Hi folks! It’s @SexWorkHive here for our Monday night takeover. Today we're tweeting from the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam. We're here all week, drawing attention to sex worker issues from around the world. [Thread] @SexWorkHive Yesterday we held a Sex Workers' Networking Pre-Meeting and over 150 sex workers came along, from many countries all over the world.

This is my son and our first guest. J was 2 when he moved in- now, at nearly 5, he feels he has a big, Syrian brother. The love between the two of them is wonderful. And this is my boy with one of our current guests, Y. Y and his wife and baby girl are from #Eritrea, so we have learned about East African politics, food, music and dancing.

Hi everyone! This is @brightonsolfed taking over @nevillesouthall’s account for the next two hours. We’ll be talking about: problems with wage theft in the hospitality industry and how we fight it, our Housing Union and the dire state of the housing market... ...how we function as a revolutionary union and why we feel the need to organise this way, and how you can get involved in Solidarity Federation @solfed_iwa

@StubbornDogs I always knew I was different & didn’t feel like the ‘girl’ I was told I was. As a kid I was just one of the local lads - had short hair, an Action Man, played footie, war & fought with boys. Was labelled a ‘tomboy’ but secretly hoped one day my willy would grow... @StubbornDogs It wasn’t so distressing for me as a young kid because I could mostly express my maleness without getting shamed for it. When I was 10 we had a Victorian dressing up day at school & I went as a street urchin lad. No one batted eyelid at me & it felt great!..

@Andra_me_uk
I never wanted to be trans, took me until 44 to accept who i am, overcome my fears & guilt of how i felt
Spent my life up to this point trying to repress, ignore & overcome these feelings – I could no longer do that, being me was one of the hardest things I ever did @Andra_me_uk
For most ppl your body, your sense of who you are matches the sex you have on your birth certificate, (called Cis- Cis is short for ‘cisgender’) meaning somebody whose gender identity matches the sex they were given at birth. Basically, ‘not trans’.
