If your kids find out that all it would have taken for them to transition early was for you to have broken the rules, and they find out you didn't do that, they will never forgive you.
reminder to parents of trans children:
breaking the rules to save your child years of suffering and possibly their life is your moral duty, get them on the correct hormones no matter what and don't bother with "doing things the right way"

And let's not even get started on the absurdity of looking for a positive impact from a preventative measure, where the expected outcome is "not getting worse"
Puberty blockers had no measurable impact on divorce rates, therefore ineffective treatment.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.
"What service is Microsoft providing?"
Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

DON'T STOP CALLING.
email them if you want, sure, but the fact that they are requesting people to *email them instead* (presumably because emails are much easier to ignore) means that the calls are WORKING, i.e. becoming a massive nuisance and interrupting workflow.
once again, DON'T STOP CALLING.

I'm pretty sympathetic to the strat of siloing off diy discussion to r/transdiy to limit the impact of a future reddit crackdown, but "black-market drugs"? "dangerous medications"? that's just straight up lying. diy is both safe and legal, and fear mongering about it is the only actual danger here.
so they banned discussion of HRT from r/mtf it appears

If you like my little queer utopia OC world, then it's time to step up and protect the real life places that inspired it! Denny Blaine is a queer nude beach that is now under legal threat by its rich neighbors to be sanitized, and its queer history erased. Take the small minute to sign the petition!
Help to help keep a local (Seattle) Park open to being a nude beach. Some of the neighbors are trying to upend 50+ years of (nude bathing) history. To remind, nudity is legal in Seattle. A judge has (initially) sided to ban nudity while the case continues

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

Hey, I really hate to beg but at this point I'm worried about still getting more utilities turned off even with a paycheck coming that will hopefully cover rent. Phone is still off and making the new job more complicated. IDK, if anyone has a few spare bucks it would be very appreciated right now.
