How do we solve these mega waiting lists for the gender clinics??? Just dont do the gender clinics and just have GPs prescribe hormones and refer for surgeries Gender clinics exist to soothe scared cis people not to help trans people transition

I've finished reading the Levy review and, unless I've missed something (which is very possible) it's not a hatchet job like the Cass review was. It obviously doesn't propose a move away from the specialist assessment model, but it also seems to inherently accept that HRT and surgeries are vital.

Looks like Levy may be dropping at 2pm. 1) Dont panic 2) Itll take some careful analysis so beware people jumping the gun 3) put your own mental health first. If youre posting stuff, be responsible and mind other mental health. Use warnings etc as appropriate. Looks like a busy weekend for me.

Embryonic stem cells

We used to be a proper country. Time was the week before Christmas was doss week. What do you mean I actually have to work?! Starmer’s Britain 🤬

Reminder that when the Turing scheme was being developed to replace Erasmus, Gavin Williamson chose for it not to fund inward mobility (EU students coming to the UK) even though that would be a net loss to the UK economy (because when British students travel, they're not consuming in tgw UK).

there is no better evidence that out of touch billionaires are running entertainment than the existence of the Cruella movie

People who make not liking Christmas their whole personality are more annoying than people who tall about the number of sleeps left to go.

The feminist facade of the British GC panic has always been paper-thin. It is the feminism of the comfortable, middle-class tradwife and the women who aspire to that ideal: the womb of the nation who reproduces the regime's favored citizens in exchange for "men's protection", whatever that's worth.

It's amazing isn't it? The patriarchy played a blinder with the trans panic. Basically we're at the stage where trans women get accused and blamed for pretty much all cis male violence. So cis men get to carry on abusing women without consequence, and women get abused in return.

Help @MI6 there’s a little shit of a meerkat who’s Russian and interfering with my energy bills and car insurance appearing on the telly. Is he GRU?

And I'm sure for proper balance that the Times will also compare with the defences thrown up by British sex offenders such as "She was asking for it by walking around being female" or "I don't sweat".

Evangelion is the one anime I've seen that wasn't a 4Kids dub on CITV.

I feel like I might be the only trans woman lucky enough to not have an eating disorder. My Yorkshire epigenetics give me the overwhelming urge to invite all the rest of you over and feed you stodgy food drenched in gravy.

While the Divorced Sitcom Writer continues on his decade-long tantrum that nobody wants to work with him & listen to his bile any more, Robin Ince voluntarily resigns with dignity from his show because he wouldn't just be quiet in his support of marginalised people. What a world.

That's the weird thing about the modern transphobic movement is that it's premised on insisting that trans people don't exist, we're just cis people who are deluded or fetishistic or something. And this requires overturning decades of common sense of how trans people were thought of and described.

Why doesn't Google Meet have a soft focus button? I am not ready to have to deal with the reality of how my face looks on camera.

Transmeds, insofar as you want to concern yourself with the beliefs of trans people and not cis gatekeepers, are basically the most insecure people in our community. They are riddled with self-hate, which gives them an authoritarian mindset. They plead with wider cis society that they're just sick.

lrp i don't want to hear any of that "Harry Potter isn't even good" bs- don't hide behind subjective taste to avoid making a real stand. the main argument you need to be making is that the IP is directly funding stochastic terrorism against transgender people. don't be a coward, call it what it is.

I'm not an early bird or a night owl, I'm just fucking sleepy all the time and haven't felt properly rested since I left university.

This gathering had the exact same energy as the book launch for 'Business Secrets of the Pharaohs'.

ive named my son warmaster so i can slip back to terra and do webway. hes a good boy, horus. an imperial original! a millennium ago we didnt even have an empire and now were the hottest empire in the galaxy but frankly im the best at webway and for many millennia weve needed it. so were doing webway

We did it folks!

Instead of banning social media, they should ban superhero films for people under 16 and over 16 and also exactly 16.

Victory over HMRC! My £1.5k tax bill (for accidentally entering my gross income on a tax return I have to complete for stupid reasons) has been revised down to £4. I'll obviously be paying this in installments.

there's a trans woman in prison, a man's prison, right now bcos she gave a blowjob to some guy and he claimed he didn't know she was trans. they sent her to prison for that. this guy lied to two women for five years, raping them all that time, but it's fine bcos it's state sanctioned.

LEGITIMATE CONCERNS

Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

Pretty good day; I've applied for my GRC and the transphobes mostly ate shit in the Sandy Peggie case.

The Guardian editorial desk reporting 'partial victory' for Nurse Peggie'

From the press summary: www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

The Times yesterday, on how trans kids, denied the healthcare they need, are buying black market hormones. Of course, this is *exactly* what everyone said would happen. And its risks are dramatically amplified by Streeting telling GPs they must stop offering blood tests.

Things you don't have to do when you're cis: going with your wife to sign statutory declarations that you both want to stay married.

Cruella was possibly the original case of Mar a Lago face, look at those cheek fillers.

Pacific Rim

Only a matter of time before they start calling us 'skinjobs' or 'toasters'.

My joke about trans women being banned from competitive 40k is moving closer to reality.

It's only racism if you say the bad words, not if you back policies that inflict abject misery on people based on accident of birth.

We've given up trying to get her to stop climbing the tree.

I haven't had a whisky in ages and it's so fucking good.

My prediction is that the Levy review will identify a new diagnosis of "true trans" that can only be made in-person by Rosie Duffield, and declare that all other diagnoses are invalid and we just can't take the risk of prescribing HRT unless the Duff agrees that someone deserves it.

Self-ID for left handed to be ended. Will now require a ten year wait and the opinion of three psychologists. Firstline treatments to include breaking all the fingers on the left hand with a mallet. NHS to offer sinister hand amputation to persistent cases. Move praised by charity Right Matters

Lots of otherwise brilliant and progressive or even socialist figures in the early 20th century were into eugenics...because their brains were cooked by imperialism and white supremacy. Eugenics is ALWAYS junk science (attributing complex outcomes to simplistic causes) with reprehensible outcomes.

Ashley James, celebrity star of Good Morning has resigned from Girl Guides in response to their exclusion of trans girls.

I swear I have the grossest form of long covid- it thankfully hasn't seriously damaged my immune system, but since I had covid every single cold I have becomes a disgusting phlegmy one. Seriously, I have coughed up so much phlegm, how is there yet more?

It turns out that Gabby's Doll House is not a children's version of Chapo Trap House, very disappointed.

Apparently she was distressed at the thought of trans women hearing her open sanitary products, or washing blood off her hands afterwards. It's possible this was an entirely confected justification, but if any of it is true, this makes me sad that she has never been friends with a trans woman.

It is essential to remember that Sensible centrists got everything they wanted in the UK. The left smashed, their Competent Sensible politicians won by a landslide last year and have a huge majority and the policies they dreamed of implemented. And the result is endless horror.

Trans people are not backed by massive pools of dark money, and we certainly don't have any friends among Britain's media or judicial elites. The only chance we have to improve our situation is for a resolutely pro-trans government to gain political power, and pass new legisltation for our rights.

I really like the idea that the Tardis's translation is linked to the Doctor and breaks dowm whilst they regenerate. You could do a good comedy episode where the translation is messed up and they keep committing faux pas.
