I don't want to name a law for myself or something that self indulgent, but I think the Razor of Normalisation is:

If a protocol for raising children random minority developmental difference is mirrored by attempts to turn left handed kids into right handed kids, you probably shouldn't do it.

While we're on the topic, let kids read whatever interests them.

You might not think it's age appropriate, but have you had an in depth conversation with that kid?

Do you know if they're looking for belonging in books?

Have you wondered if they are already experiencing what's in the book?

Out of interest... if the big evil secret plot is that the 'loony left' are all trying to 'trans' the kids... Why? Seriously, why?!!!

If we're so desperate to do this to ALL the kids, and it's not because of... reality... what is it?!!!

Online leftists miss the point when they treat trans, women’s, BIPOC, and disabled struggles as secondary to the “workers’ revolution.” Dismantling racial supremacy and patriarchy is the revolution. If you overthrow capitalism without uprooting those foundations, it just comes back with a new names.

The difference between what Elon Musk says and what a dude on the subway with a coat hanger taped to his forehead is screaming at an empty seat is that the New York Times prints it.

Aspie Supremacists, who believe their brand of autism makes them superior to both neurotypicals and other autistics, have attracted praise from autism experts, who have branded their worldview “adorable”.

She was sent home after 15 hours having not even seen a doctor with some pain killers and no follow up.

So that's fine.

In other news I am considering adding "hanging out at A&E with my elderly parents" to my list of hobbies
14 hours later she is still sitting in a hard chair in a crafty A&E because "it's not life threatening".

It's not urgent (apparently) because she's been in pain for ages and it's "stable"

She didn't even get proper pain relief until an hour ago

I (at A&E again with elderly parents) post that the NHS is "not improving under Starmer and is not a reason to put up with his transphobia, racism and disability bashing

The person below (who doesn't follow me) wants to berate me for pointing this out

One of us is a "fucking crank"
Go ahead and let the man who wants to privatise the NHS into power because “hating Starmer” has become your only political aim.

Future NHS patients will thank you as they chose between having medical help or losing their homes.

That’ll make you feel all better.

Fucking crank.

We are supposed to believe (according to Starmer Stans) that the transphobia, racism and disability bashing are worth it because of the "good" they are doing.

I'm sat in A&E with my 82 year old mother and I am not seeing the "good". 🧵
