Gamechanger for more than just obesity First developed to help lower blood sugar levels as a diabetes treatment, it was quickly apparent that Novo Nordisk’s drug semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy jabs) has a dramatic effect on weight. The drug works by mimicking a hormone, GLP-1, which is released in the gut when we eat and acts on receptors around the body, including the brain.

Guardian writers campaigned against puberty-blockers because they were prescribed "off label".

Now the Guardian is celebrating Ozempic, a drug being used off label for obesity.

The difference...?

Puberty-blockers have been used for trans kids for 30+ years, Ozempic for obesity only for 4 years.

Thank you for your careful reporting here

Suddenly you’re posting racist stuff and ducks stole yr chalupa

And we are really grateful that you’re around. Love a neighborhood with a bookstore.

We will just have to imagine together

A whole history of sadistic narcissists

Look let’s give him the benefit of the doubt maybe he was in a coma for 15 years or he was forced to post homophobic and racist stuff by an army of ducks

🤢

He’s cleaning up NYC.

Noting NYT hypocrisy here. Hormones change trans ppls lives but we only hear about the “risks” and “controversy “.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social These 8 essential bills uphold the dignity, privacy, health, and safety of LGBTQ+ Californians. These bills are critical to ensuring that California remains a national leader in protecting trans lives. Sign AB 82, AB 1084, SB 59, SB 497, SB 418, AB 554, AB 727, and SB 41.

NYT should be ashamed but they will not be

Totally agree but it does mean that most everyone will get up in the dark with sunrise at 8am in northern us in midwinter. It’s not impossible but it does suck.

SCRAP STANDARD TIME i like the summer nights

They are increasing the violence

This is truly outrageous.

What’s your point, friend.

If I had to vote for newsom vs a MAGA republican you can bet I’ll vote for Newsom. But you can also bet I’m going to push the party on issues for trans people.

I’m a big fan of pre chopped & washed kale. I’ll eat infinitely more if I’m not needing to fill huge bowls to wash off two foot long leaves!

lol lol lol lol lol lol

But yes PA/PD Therapists who unlearned the cis hetero centrism of that world can do enormous good. Just like behavioral therapy can be good & bad. right now ugly transphobia is passed off as “exploration “ and supported by PA/PD folks asserting that we need to “not foreclose” on gender identity.

Psychoanalytic history is steeped in deeply held ideas that homosexual and transsexual people are inherently maladapted. But so is a lot of psychology. But psychoanalytic seems to be out there at the forefront of some of the most egregious anti trans theorizing and action in mental heath today.

Completely. And history of psychodynamic thinking is rife with unexamined obsession with gender. That said I know some truly excellent gender affirming therapists with a psychodynamic approach. Too bad psychodynamic thinking is being abused by fringe TERFs

so to be clear, Microsoft is using a tool it's embedded into its operating system and many (all?) of its softwares to promote conversion therapy against trans kids, disguised to fool their parents into thinking it isn't purely anti-transition

I think psychodynamic approaches are the most vulnerable to misuse because of their insistence on use of theory and the ways that the therapist can position themselves as knowing more than the client.

There are gender affirming psychodynamic therapists out there. Unfortunately the orientation has been misused to assert that “not foreclosing” on a gender identity is an inherently psychodynamic stance and stances are rigid and do not explore. ALL GOOD GENDER AFFIRMING THERAPISTS EXPLORE GENDER.

Gender Dysphoria, Children, And Moral Panics What new data from the UK shows about trans children

“In fact, this new data from York completely undermines much of the Cass review and the moral panic spurring the document.”

Public anxieties, not epidemiology, shape the suppression of gender affirming care. We must confront how transphobic legislative panics are laundered through flawed research.

But didn’t raise the trans flag and he showed up to trans march with security. Ugly.

I heard that the vet had a gender so…
