Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, the IPA & Advance henceforth have no mandate. They’ve been thoroughly told NO.

With the UK Parliament reportedly considering a longer-term ban on puberty blockers, here is the evidence against the ban I provided to the UK Government and Commission on Human Medicines.
I have no doubt that Parliament will ignore that evidence today. But this is a long fight we intend to win.

Puberty blockers have been used to treat cis kids with a number of health issues for decades. Will this legislation ban that, too? No, apparently it's only trans kids who need clinical trials to "ensure safety". I hate this transphobic bullshit. Stop making trans kids suffer for your political gain.

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

Just got around to watching The Fall Guy. For a movie that felt like it was at least 80% silly, OTT action, it managed to be surprisingly engaging. Had a fun time. Also got engrossed thinking about the stuntmen doing the stunts for the actors being the stuntmen doing the stunts for the actors.
