Silver? That seems like Trump's idea of an insult.

Never mind the 1920's they probably expect people to subsist on gruel and think workhouses are a good idea to bring back.

They don't need people to de-humanise them, they've already done it to themselves.

At this point we're just calling it what it is.

I notice he didn't even bother to dress according to the theme.

It's like they're all playing dress up for his amusement.

Gilded age behaviour.

an outdated medical model being institutionally transphobic and pathologised in ways other fields like plastic surgery aren't. Although there has been call for that in recent decades and that's also about enforcing norms and denying autonomy and agency.

other scenario. Then it was patient choice being paramount as long as they have capacity. There was focus on treating trans people as their gender alongside stuff like using whatever name any patient wanted to be called and basic respect. But the more I think about it, I think this is a case of

I'm not trans, but I've always thought people's reasons for doing anything is their own business.

Just over a decade ago I was a student nurse, and when it came to transition there was emphasis on ensuring the person was doing it for "appropriate reasons". Only this wasn't the attitude with any

He doesn't give a fuck if people starve, get beaten by his goons or children die of treatable conditions rather than have paracetamol and timelely vaccination as long as he gets his gilded plane, his ballroom, his triumphal arch etc.

I don't know why this seems to be surprising to anyone.

He also apparently "aced" a cognitive test that he thinks measured his IQ and found it very hard but naming "a tiger, an elephant & a giraffe" was easy. It sounds like the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, except it's a Lion, a rhino & a camel and the tough questions would be when & where you are.

So presumably this would cover stuff other than would be under your equivalent of the official secrets act.

Stuff like the interpersonal behaviour of leadership perhaps?

It gets worse, I just said the whole clip, he said "a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe" he got all three wrong and said that was the easy part of the test.

What a fucking wimp.

Plenty of people on the left wing own cars, but public transport is crucial for many who can't drive, incl the elderly and disabled.

He's just fear-mongering because they want to slash public transport spending and promote petrol guzzling cars for the oil and car industry.

Round here they're on lamp posts, all over the place so they all look half-mast to me.

I don't see the point myself.

Starmer showed the left where the door was.

Sounds rather fuckwitted to me.

If that's how you describe the current Labour party and government your judgement is seriously in question.

I think most past presidents while incumbent wouldn't say this test featured giraffes or elephants and describe when and where he is as a much harder question. Except maybe Reagan towards the end of his run.

And even he would probably know this isn't an IQ test.

He also thinks coal lasts forever and is clean.

I remember Dubya, he didn't come across as the brightest bulb but he never publicly disputed the existence of limpet mines.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".

But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.
