If hormones, or puberty blockers, were so dangerous, nobody would be allowed them.
That some people are and that trans kids can even, notionally at least, stay on them if already prescribed, tells you all you need to know.

Scotland doesn't have the billions to upgrade buildings, or the billion probably needed to update the fire service. We don't seem to have the money for anything that would allow planning and prevention.
But hey, at least Glasgow has it's "Avenues Project"? *Grumbles in Canadian*
I'm not sure the fire service "let" anything here. Given the old buildings and what, from experience, is hidden in them, the fires could spread in strange and terrifying directions, and firefighter safety would also have to come first.

This is no longer about saving the corner building. It's lost. All the SFRS can do is try to prevent what would be a catastrophic spread to Glasgow Central Station.
