You can also see this in older autism research where anytime they say they're researching "the impact of autism" they interview only the autistic person's family members & make no attempt to communicate with the autistic person.

I think this is the big thing with current very narrow, hostile, "debate" about gender.

trans people experience SUCH a diversity of gender experience and I'm pretty confident that cis people do to but a great many of them cram themselves into the little boxes the patriarchy allows for them...

The UK is not run by the fucking "adults in the room" it's operated by a regime of abusers and sadists and cranks who prioritise ideology and cruelty and a harshly punitive, conformist worldview over the literal functioning of their rotten, inbred, class-obsessed nonce-worshipping society.

This single statement more clearly demonstrates how Cass, a doctor with no history or background in trans care, based her entire review into the field on her hazy memories/lazy revisionism of the 1970s rather than any literature or clinical understanding. She is the charlatan - not those she decries

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Hillary Cass is to trans healthcare what Andrew Wakefield was to Vaccine studies. Wrong, deranged, dangerous, and her work will kill children.

She should be treated as such, not lauded or given appointments. Her career cannot end soon enough.

I'm fed up with the discourse.

Trans folks: if pursuing medical transition is something you need, pursue it. If medical transition is not something you need, don't pursue it.

Medical transition does not make you trans. Being trans makes you trans. Trans medical care is a right, not an obligation.

this was part of my (very early) decision making to come out - I felt like I had a moral responsibility to younger #trans & non gender conforming people

(of course now being out - I am SO much happier I'm not bloody going back in the closet)

my political tendencies were in that direction long before I came out (or where they a sign of my hidden trans-ness)

;-)

(this is not a serious post & I agree fully with your sentiments in the rest of this thread)

I'm not even disappointed to be honest, I was expecting this kind of weakness to show itself as the rubber hits the road eventually.

The closer any candidate gets to a sniff of power the more they all act like this. Whoever gets in we need to fight the bastards anyway eventually.

your points about earlier transition are spot on though - I really wish I'd been able to transition young - not doing is signing you up for a LOT of trauma that needs undoing later in life

so I'm going the "other way" than you and that's switched in the other direction

One thing that is currently amusing me , given I don't 'pass' (I'm close to 60 only been on hrt for a few months) - Men address me verbally as male BUT _treat_ me as a woman !

never mind all this "are LLM's self aware" rubbish

Is the PM of the UK self aware? no evidence at all that he is

I mean even principle Skinner stopped to ask if he was wrong before deciding it was the children. The question hasn't even crossed Starmers mind once

We're told all the time there's no fucking magic money tree to invest in public spending and yet these pricks are throwing away money hand over fist on actively making everything worse, hurting free speech, expanding genocide, fucking our healthcare and privacy.

It's misogyny. It targets all women, cis and trans. They just don't want cis women to realise until it's too late.

excellent update - and plenty to investigate

BUT

271,000 miles!!!!!

we've driven most of our cars into the scrap heap (well had them towed there when they wouldn't move) but that's seriously impressive keeping them on the road!

TBF - it's quite clear that not many people ARE actually voting labour

but yeah - if you want facism there are other choices

and if you want left wing stuff WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU VOTING LABOUR IN THE FIRST PLACE??????

it's because transphobia is inextricably linked to white supremacy and patriarchy

I liked it better when the government at least pretended to try and make the country functional

instead of just deciding which group of people they hate most today and how they can make their lives worse...

This means that even if Palestine Action ad not won on Human Rights Act/ECHR grounds, Palestine Action would have won on another ground.

No doubt this will be missed by a lot of media reporting of this judgment, but even if HRA repealed etc, Palestine Action would have *still won*.
