If you are not familiar with the full original #PandoraHolmes story: https://pandoraholmes.org - consider all coverage of her story to imply a general content warning for transphobia, medical violence, and forced detransiton.
If familiar, skip to update.
The quick version: Pandora was taken against her will by #NHS mental health staff on the 4th of June, and held on authority of her being an immediate danger to herself. During this time they took away her HRT and when she complained about this, they tried to hold her for 6 months. It took the combined forces of Reddit, Twitter, the Fediverse, and Tumblr to provide support for her, advocating for her rights before she was finally given HRT, and staff stopped torturing her. Since then she had been allowed some additional freedom and was expecting her release on Tuesday.
I just got off the phone with the ward. They confirmed #PandoraHolmes is there and said she is "ok". No definition of what that means.
When I asked about her going silent, they said it's her choice not to respond. I asked more directly if she had her phone and was allowed to communicate and the nurse wouldnt answer me.
Call +44 115 969 1300 and ask to be put through to Highbury hospital, Rowan 2 ward. Ask after her, ask why she has not responded, if she has her phone, if there are any restrictions on her communication.
Bury them in calls.
Attention: #PandoraHolmes has disappeared.
On Tuesday, she was originally expecting to leave hospital for her new flat, but this was not ready, so instead she was allowed to go home to her current flat for the day
Her cat, who was being looked after by a neighbour while she had been taken, escaped yesterday and she spent the day looking for her. She overstayed the time she was meant to be back while looking for her, and her last message was that police had been sent to get her.
She has not been heard from since around 18:30 yesterday UK time. It is now 14:30 the next day.

Temporary home for the story. I am dealing with a lot right now. Tomorrow should be easier for me to get more info out again.
I am aware the #PandoraHolmes thread was removed by Reddit. I have been dealing with some IRL stuff and will have a mirror up soon. A new permanent link might be tomorrow.
Hope everyone understands. Sorry this update isn't longer.
#PandoraHolmes says Happy Pride Month!

So glad she's getting to have one while she's in there, even a Pride event inside the hospital. The NHS definitely need more training on how to treat trans people, but at least it looks like there's change happening.
She's still looking at Tuesday for release, and looking forward to getting back to everything.
Maybe expect me to appear on a DRG stream some time soon ;)
happy pride month!

Pandora discusses her pending release - the section 2 has been lifted so she is no longer held against her will, and has agreed to stay until Tuesday so her new flat can be got ready.
She has been allowed outside into the town during the daytime, and shows some of the gifts and letters of support she has received.
Pandora also discusses an upcoming article that will mention her experience, and that the Nottingham GIC (Gender Identity Clinic) is working to implement policy changes and education so her mistreatment is not repeated.
being discharged tuesday! (Ty for the letters!!! ily)
your support and encouragement throughout this nightmare of mine really kept me going. tysm really
These two images are one week apart.
This is the power that we have when we organise and stick together, when we look after each other.
Don't let this be a one off. Let the transphobes know - they fuck with one of us, they fuck with all of us.

Finally, #PandoraHolmes knows when she's coming home. She has #HRT, she's getting her levels monitored. She's actually getting the healthcare that the government likes to imply is for everyone.
WE did this. Not just me. I just managed to channel some anger into a hyperfocus to get the word out. It's everyone who acted who saved her life.
I finally feel a bit less scared and anxious. Less worried that things are going to get worse for her again.
And we will be taking this further. You haven't seen anything yet.
