Supporting a nation state is unavoidably political, religious obligation or not. It may not come from a political place but it is a political act with political effects regardless

The harm to young people of jumping through all the hoops, being told they're eligible, and then finding out they have to wait a whole year on a coin toss is horrific

They can't hide it but they can headline "no effect on gender dysphoria" and make a ban fully permanent and no amount of "actually if you look at the methodology this is fucked" will work. Like Cass and changing meta analysis methodology

This is definitely accurate fwiw, seen from multiple people privately it's just embargoed currently.
Intentionally choosing measures that won't show the benefits is a big problem

The concern here is that the "gender dysphoria" measure used would not show any difference from puberty blockers even if extremely beneficial because it's an "I feel sad when people misgender me/happy in affirmed sex" diagnostic scale. Not a body satisfaction measurement.

Pharmacies?? You have no idea how the steroid market works sweetheart.
It's not a crime and there's absolutely no motivation for going after individual buyers, or any way for the government to tell which buyers are trans.

Heartbreaking read, and the numbers are just terrifying, so many of these women are having stillbirths and they think it's normal, natural and great?

Not if it's for personal use. The person selling it is breaking the law, but not the buyer, I don't think.

Go back to how things were pre FWS? Only ban trans people if it's proportionate, and if you can't tell someone is trans it isn't proportionate.
Okay, pick any example circumstance. What is a "sensitive process" and what does it look like?

What are those "sensitive processes"? Given ID and birth certificate can't be accepted as evidence?
What is someone who is using services according to birth sex but is accused of lying because their appearance doesn't match supposed to do? Trans or not?

This is not consistently true for trans people. And if you're wrong just take the other person's word about it?
In the real world some trans people pass and some people have an androgynous appearance. Services are being asked to force people to use services which don't match their appearance

So they're equally not responsible if a trans woman walks in because she passes (technically against their policy) or tunnels in like she's doing a heist?
But the second they are knowingly permitting a trans woman in, legal issue?
Which leaves us in a don't ask don't tell situation, in practice

Yes, but to do this well you need to be able to read the surrounding words with certainty, and sound out fnang to understand that it definitely isn't a word you know. Especially for beginning readers, they will encounter a lot of words they've never seen written down but are familiar spoken vocab
