I have to console victims of scams all the time and I tell them that often scammers are talented professionals with years, maybe decades, of experience. Like if a veteran MMA fighter beat you up in a bar fight you won’t say “I’m such a wimp.” You’d say a trained experienced fighter beat me.
ngl my first reaction upon discovering our intern had fallen for a gift card scam in her first week (an impersonation attack based on details from linkedin, literally the kind of problem that @blockpartyapp.com is solving, an actual example we use in our marketing) was
OMG how could you be so dumb

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people
no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Let me get this straight: the Cass review wasn’t peer-reviewed yet was relied on by the government for major policy decisions - but now a critique of that review has been peer-reviewed and published, giving it more authority. Will government now be relying on this for policy? We all know the answer.
Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

I notice that no one is saying who will be asking for proof of gender or, indeed, how that proof should be given.

The FA claims that it had to ban trans women from women’s football after taking legal advice following The Supreme Court ruling. This is rubbish. Many in women’s football are angry. The FA should publish that legal advice.
