FWIW this was a big part of the strategy of Action 4 Trans Health, in doing things like collectivising training for trans people to do electrolysis and have machines for it so that we'd have practitioners within the community and reduce costs generally.
I think this will be unpopular among other anarchists in general, but we need to rethink how we go about mutual aid across the board, with a focus on building up our collective resources- which is going to include stuff like buying property and capital because that's how the present economy works.

So it turns out there’s loads of us who are online enough to encounter the phrase “Butlerian Jihad” regularly, nerdy enough to know who Judith Butler is, but not the right kind of nerd to know it’s actually from Dune. My mind is blown by this revelation.
I was today years old when I discovered “Butlerian Jihad” has nothing to do with Judith Butler
If you’re not willing to engage in a Butlerian Jihad against the Plagiarism Machine, you’ve never actually made anything that mattered

again: the UK has never once taken action anything like this with regards to any medication at all whatsoever.
It is completely unprecedented for emergency powers to have been used to ban a medication for a specific group or for that to have been extended indefinitely pending (unethical) trials.

Streeting has already interfered by careful selection of “researchers” associated with a designated anti-trans hate group to carry out an unethical and pseudoscientific “trial” designed to get the result he wants.

I am fucking begging you all to stop trying to frame being annoyed by other trans people's behaviour online in terms of oppressor/oppressed dynamics that do not actually apply here.
Also neither side of this argument actually holds any serious power over the other.

Seeing it in the discussions around misogynists being "gay" because they hate women by people who enjoy fantasies where misogynist men can be distanced and demeaned through connection to homosexuality.
Seeing it through discussions around right wing transphobia targeting trans sexual health tech.

Wouldn't usually bother with the BBC, let alone complaining, but a recent inaccuracy really annoyed me. They've quietly removed the error and changed the phrasing to what I suggested.
Obviously the only response I got was a mass reply about a totally unrelated thing

Managed to obliviously sit across from somebody reading Dorley Hall on the train to Manchester today. I regret being too awkwardly polite to say anything, because what are the chances of that??

This is honestly a fascinating read, because it contains a full account of the judge taking the barrister into his office and making him print out all of his citations and point out the relevant paragraphs. Which obviously he couldn't do, because half of them didn't even exist.
This latest "barrister meets AI" disaster is something all stage 1 law students should read. It is vital about the key skill of case reading - you mustn't use AI to substitute for the skill of being able to find cases and find key content in cases:

In the early 2010s, I worried that R v McNally would eventually lead to trans people being prosecuted for sexual assault based on the idea that our presentation is inherently 'deceptive'. I let myself be convinced otherwise by people that had criminal law expertise. I think I was wrong to listen
