Video for Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week, on dealing with emotions:

A transwoman with MS talked about the need to find humour in medical situations by recounting getting an erection during an X-Ray because the female nurse was attractive. This person is an educational psychologist at the University of Southampton.

MS is a debilitating disease with horrible symptoms. Why did the MS Trust feature this particular experience? MS affects more women than men. Even men who have MS are unlikely to have had this experience.

Ah, thank you for trying @ArabeIIaScott

It's interesting that they've put it back up without the section in question but with no commentary on why it's changed @EmotionalwreckMSer

Hopefully there is an archived copy somewhere and someone who can do a spot the difference compilation. That would be quite a talking point.

I haven't watched it but I would hope that nobody (Cora or anyone else) has received any abuse. Debate and challenging questions, yes but abuse no. Yes, that's a naively utopian view of online life 😁

Why would you think there's been any online abuse?

Sargeant isn't on very limited social media like a lot of transwomen in senior positions. Unlike most women in senior positions though, his LinkedIn profile is an anime character.
He has a lot of name checking on Twitter for fine and upstanding work on trans children though

mstrust.org.uk/get-involved/ms-awareness-week the link is still broken here where Sargeant is one of two experts they talk to on the podcast.

I watched it before the original link was taken down. As a parent of a vulnerable child with SEN who has interactions with Ed Psychs, it makes my blood run cold to see a person in this profession (or any profession where dealing with children is part of their job) take pleasure in publicly discussing their sexual arousal. How is this okay?

I didn't take much notice of the interviewer. But several posters above say that this was actually another man.

That explains why the interview was so very 'off'. It was just two blokes making coarse jokes at the expense of a young woman.

Ignore my last post, you were referring to the man on the right. Just one man.
