My mother killed my abusive father - I am relieved he's dead

1 week ago | inews.co.uk | Patrick Strudwick

Are you glad your father is dead? A long pause follows, as David Challen’s eyes flicker up to the sky, scanning back and forth in search of the answer. “It’s a great question,” he says, eventually settling on “No”, before adding, “There was a time when I would have answered that differently.” Are you relieved he’s dead? “Yes.”David’s father, Richard, was bludgeoned to death by his mother.
Specsavers turned away customers with HIV due to misguided safety fears

1 week ago | inews.co.uk | Patrick Strudwick

Britain’s biggest chain of opticians wrongly refused to treat people with HIV due to misplaced safety fears. Specsavers, which has more than 900 UK stores and operates in ten countries, turned away Jason Reid, 44, from an earwax removal treatment after he told them he had HIV during a routine questionnaire. The National Aids Trust said it’s in contact with at least one other individual who has been rejected for the treatment by the high street chain for the same reason.
An award for Kevin Spacey in Cannes? I prefer to think of his accusers

1 month ago | inews.co.uk | Patrick Strudwick

Graham Norton once said something endearingly empathetic about his ex-boyfriends that I think about to this day: that after they’ve broken up, he can move on, but they still have to see his face everywhere. His fame, he recognised, means that they can’t escape him. Every time I interview someone describing a traumatic experience with a public figure, this rings in my ears – the inescapable hall of mirrors.
‘I asked 60 gyms if trans people like me could join - this is what happened’

1 month ago | inews.co.uk | Patrick Strudwick

When Evan Wade emailed a gym in Stoke-on-Trent to enquire about membership, he wasn’t expecting to be asked about his genitals. But just days after the Supreme Court ruled that the terms “woman” and “man” applied to biological sex only, Evan, 28, contacted the women’s gym to see if he would be welcome – and received a response asking “what genitalia you have”. Born female, Evan began transitioning five years ago and presents as a man with a deep voice and a beard from testosterone treatment.
Our biggest LGBT charity is in crisis. Are we just going to let it collapse?

2 months ago | inews.co.uk | Patrick Strudwick

Blood is in the water. Every expedient politician (and pundit) can see it, smell it, and sense an opportunity. After the Supreme Court ruling, which effectively removed trans women from the definition of woman in the Equality Act, the new British sport is: who can make the most rabble-rousing, dog-whistling jabat trans women? The answer was surprising. Bridget Phillipson, who identifies as the Women and Equalities minister, evidently believes that some people are more equal than others.

I’m a top psychiatrist. We now know how high gay suicide levels are. Here’s how to fix it

2 months ago | inews.co.uk | Patrick Strudwick

One of the world’s leading psychiatrists has called on the British government to implement radical new policies, including specialist training for all medical students, to reduce the number of gay people taking their own life. Dinesh Bhugra CBE, a former president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, told The i Paper that among lesbian, gay and bisexual people in England and Wales are more than double that of heterosexuals “should be a wake-up call” to the authorities.
