Young man who sustained face injury in an accident survives, bags Criminal Justice degree at US university

A young man named Demarcus Tinsley who sustained a face injury in a car accident has beaten all odds as he bags a Criminal Justice degree from Grambling State University (GSU), in the United States.

Demarcus was severely injured in a car accident when his car went underneath a tractor that took off his entire roof. He told KBTS that he was barely able to dial 911 for assistance before falling unconscious immediately after the accident in 2019.

“I woke up and I didn’t see myself, but I could feel myself under something. My first instinct was to just drive myself away from the tractor-trailer, and once I drove out from under there I got out of the car and I ended up calling 911. That was my first instinct,” he said.

He stated that while he was on the phone with 911 he could see how crushed his face was. According to Gray News, Demacurs decided to overcome all odds to earn a college degree.

With his determination to not let the accident define who he is and who he wants to be in the future, Demarcus graduated from Grambling State University with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice.

According to Grambling State University’s Facebook, Dermacus decided to return to school after having multiple facial reconstruction surgeries and also having to learn how to talk and breathe again.

“If anyone out there is going through something like this, I just want them to know, stay positive, keep your head up because it’s always a light at the end of the tunnel,” Dermacus said.

Demarcus attributed his achievement to his family, teammates, and professors crediting them for believing in him.

Trans men and lesbians would get IVF priority two years ahead of heterosexual couples under NHS plan – as campaigners slam proposals as  ‘grossly discriminatory’

Family campaigners have criticised as ‘grossly discriminatory’ plans to give trans men and lesbians access to NHS-funded IVF two years ahead of heterosexual couples. Under the controversial proposals, trans men – those born as women who now identify as men – will be automatically assumed to be unable to conceive, as will lesbians and single women. This means they will be immediately eligible for IVF on the NHS – costing an estimated £5,000 a cycle – if they meet the other criteria, such as a body mass index between 19 and 30, not smoking, being under 43 and not having a partner with a child from a previous relationship.
