I never got asked any weird sexual questions by the GIC. They didn't ask about my sex life *at all*.
I feel lucky in this. But it also illustrats that it's a *choice* when they do this. They're doing it b/c they *want* to, not b/c they *need* to.

I had this as an adult and it's awful. Doing this to vulnerable children is unconscionable.

Cis people, how many times have you been asked to describe how you masturbate, and what you think about when you do, to access healthcare on the NHS?

I hadn't quite appreciated that every senior researcher involved in the NHS puberty blocker trial has direct ties to SEGM, a designated hate group. We have an anti-Trans, USA hard right backed group pulling the strings behind the UK NHS puberty blocker trial. It is rotten to its core. Zero Trust.
The puberty blocker trial is about to start according to the BBC, led by Dr Emily Simonoff. The same Dr who spoke at a symposium organised by Segm, a group designated an anti trans hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Centre /1

Are children are deemed genderless at birth. They choose their gender as & when they decide what feels right.
"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.

I just cannot comprehend how the representative of a political party that is currrently doing its utmost to cause as much harm as it can to every single trans young person in the UK inc driving them to suicide thinks they have any business commenting on what best honour's a trans girl's memory.
That's not what I'm arguing at all. I'm saying that Brianna's mum - who actually knew her, loved her, had to sit through every minute of her murder trial - gets more right to say what honours her memory than a random person on Bluesky none of that applies to. I don't think that's unreasonable.

The first thing anti-trans groups like Bayswater Group and Transgender Trend say to parents of trans teens is take their phones, get them off the internet
So, given that a lot of trans people are offended that Brianna's transfemicide is being turned into a crusade against phone use, when Brianna had a supportive online community and was murdered offline by her classmates:
Do you think "Touch grass" is an appropriate response to that context?

You're genuinely deranged if you think I believe either of Brianna's killers deserve less than the life sentences they were both handed, or that I think Brianna was in any way at fault for her own murder.

It's almost as if the goal is to cut trans people out of society entirely.
You are a member of a party that is dedicated to pushing trans people out of public life, and you are trying to 'champion' a cause that would deny many trans children access to the only supportive communities and peers they know and have.
