Nobody has surgery at 12, you bellend. At that age the best you can do is transition socially. Technically you could receive puberty blockers, but in most cases you won't get them. In the UK you could receive sex hormones at 16, if you've been on blockers for at least a year and you might be...

Yes, it's all part of the same right wing agenda, which sees trans rights as easy targets. There's no "eventually" about it though. With the Supreme Court having struck down Roe vs. Wade, the Republican state legislatures are already seriously curtailing reproductive freedoms. Biden has looked...

a good track from their new LP...

dunno :unsure:

I see I needed to get the eyebrow pencil out there.

on my way to a rainbow themed party...

I don't really know enough about BID to say, except that one of the criteria for a diagnosis is that someone is not gender dysphoric. i.e. it's not the same thing.

There's no "of course" about that. Renée Richards (who previously competed at a decent level in men's tennis) fought for the right to play in the Women's US Open in the 1970s, which she did from 1977-1981. Three times she went out in the first round. The best she managed was round three where...

I think "somatic dissonance" is a better description than "born in the wrong body". Your body is your body, but you can feel that it's not as it should be, that it's wrong, that what it says about you in a permanent physical way is not who you are. Not all trans people have this, by the way...

Trans women would have no chance in men's football, even if they started out as elite players. The effects of hormonal treatment are quite significant, both as regards muscle mass and aerobic capacity. Whether they have any advantage – even a small one, never mind a big one – over cis women...

I doubt any woman in any team in the world would make any top men's team. Or even a Division Two team. The men are much stronger, they kick the ball much harder and the pace of the game is a lot faster. Probably the England U-18 team could beat the women's team. Similarly, if you ask how many of...

1. True. The whole thing is just bathroom panic and people promoting/exploiting that to their own ends. 2. True again. Equally, when someone asked Serena about playing a match with Andy Murray, she just laughed at them, saying she'd obviously be thrashed. I'd certainly have expected her to wipe...

Wrong question. I'm sure Keith and crew "care". But do they care enough to make meaningful change to improve those lives? Seeing as they seem happy for everything to stay much the same, the apparent answer to that question is "no".

See, that's all it is to you. Just some factional battle which the "Corbynites" have lost. Nothing that really matters. We had hope that we could actually change things. Improve people's lives. Make the country a better place. Whereas the right, who don't see any need to change anything, did...

I added to it. But there was no need. It was incisive enough as it stood.

jeez, you're a fucking idiot Starmer lied his way to the leadership he's the end of any hope of any meaningful change everything will just stay the fucking same but that's okay with you, because you don't believe in anything

This is such bullshit, the very opposite of "gender affirmation", in which there are no assumptions, no set goals, save one: that a child's developing understanding of their own gender should be taken seriously, to the extent of exploring with them what it might mean, rather than telling them...

just checked: my Some Bizzare collection comprises precisely... nothing and I have no inclination whatsoever to amend that
