puberty blockers for trans youth exist only because doctors and parents want to give conversion therapy a chance
body autonomy in puberty along their peers is a right!
body autonomy in puberty along their peers is a right!
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.

(Also the trial measures blockers’ impact on “gender dysphoria,” which some of us have been saying for years is an inherently pathologising diagnosis easily manipulated to curtail bodily autonomy, but ☕️🐸)

Is it just me or do other Long Covid suffers read headlines like this one and think:
“No shit Sherlock! Welcome to the party. We’ve been telling you this for yearsssss.”
Followed immediately by gratitude for scientists investigating Long Covid to someday lead to treatments.

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

Multiple sources expect such a ban to come into effect over the next six to 12 months with the new IOC president, Kirsty Coventry, making clear she wants to drive through her campaign pledge to protect the female category. Continue reading...

In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.

Food and housing has reached an abundance state, only limited by capitalism. Companies that waste food by throwing it out because they didn't sell it before it expired should be taxed triple the value. Social/co-op housing, outlaw corporate housing ownership and multiple homes.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

TS Words & Phrases
After having been labelled & ostracized by this genetically defined & controlled society & its institutions for so long, we need to reclaim all those negative words & phrases which are still used to stigmatize us. It is also time to develop our own language & impose it on this gender suppressive society.
Here is an attempt to start this process:
- metamorphosis (instead of the clinical term transition) tlon) is the liberating process by which we change literally from caterpillar to butterfly (for this reason it can also be called our cocoon stage).
-persons whose backgrounds are gender described/determined or gender described/determined men/wimmin/people are much more appropriate terms for genetics to use to describe us than transsexuals, TS's, trannies, transies, males/females s to to (constructed/artifactual) females/males. the term she-male is appropriate only within the sex trade.
- members of the gender communities instead of the clumsy-sounding transpersons
- genetics, genetically/chromosonally described/determined are non transsexual people.
- gender oriented wimmin/men/people are wimmin, men or people who attracted to TS's
- transsexual lesbians are usually gender described wimmin who are attracted to genetic wimmin or possibly other gender described wimmin
- trans dykes are usually gender described wimmin who are attracted to other gender described wimmin or possibly genetic wimmin
- transsexual gays/fags are usually gender described men who are attracted to genetic or possibly other gender described men or both."
- gender queers or gender outlaws are what we & only we are, since lesbians & gays seem to think that queer means lesbian/gay (& sometimes bi) only.
[please note that in general, the word gender is much better than the prefix trans, which seems to be genetically inspired in its origin]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kmz7vydcqlu3py2swcrebvza/bafkreicpul7rc3ggfzoubrqp34sx37fsjpgyzs3524nzxpswcqutgewyye@jpeg)
