PROVOKE AND PUBLICISE

Tomorrow in the Houses of Parliament the transphobes will attempt a “Provoke & Publicise” action. Provoke and Publicise was originally developed as a tactic by racist segregationists in US states like Alabama & Oklahoma to try and stop the civil rights movement there…

please do not use this

it's filtering out a ton of genuine indie games that devs worked really hard on as "shovelware" and filters out entire genres like visual novels by default

Is this what it's like being trapped in the Phantom Zone

So someone told you supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans So, someone told you that supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans, and you either asked for more information or decided to argue about it…

After today I decided I never again want to waste my time arguing with cis gays about why supporting Harry Potter and the Queen of the TERFs is harmful, so I wrote a blog summarizing the whole thing. Please do share it widely instead of wasting yours.

The most recent international guidelines [12] suggest that GAH should be initiated in transgender adolescents whose gender incongruence has been confirmed according to the criteria outlined in the ICD-11 (Table 1). Additionally, these adolescents should demonstrate sufficient emotional and cognitive maturity to provide informed consent for treatment. Unlike strict age criteria, other factors such as the duration of gender incongruence, medical follow-up history, persistence of transition requests, psychological distress, and the individual's maturity level should be considered when determining the optimal timing for introducing GAH. In situations where GAH is introduced before Tanner stage 5 (especially when GnRHa has been previously prescribed), suppression can be maintained upon the introduction of GAH to prevent the action of endogenous hormones and the appearance or continued progression of secondary sexual characteristics in the undesired gender.

France has just had a review of healthcare for young trans people and it has come out entirely the opposite to Cass. But then again the personnel involved had not been specifically selected to arrive at a politically-required outcome.

PSA: if you have a PS3 / 360 era console, take it apart and re apply thermal paste. it’s now 10-15 years old and it’s gonna burn itself up.

The UX of LEGO Interface Panels LEGO interface panels are beautiful, iconic, and great for learning interface design basics. I bought 52 of them from BrickLink to explore the design, layout and organisation of complex interfaces.
