I am not qualified in this field, and yet i seem to know a lot more than Wes Streeting, and yet he has felt compelled to deny children and young adults HRT unless they are cis.
This is because he is a genocidal bastard.
And thick as mince.
One for the anti vaxxers - Mumps can cause damage to developing cis male genitals that requires estrogen HRT to repair. So you refuse to vaxx, you might need to give your son some of these terrible hormones you keep trying to ban.
Again, this has always been an understood medical intervention with very low stakes.
Which is why GCritters have to make up silly dogwhistle names like "cross sex hormones" to get hormone health care exclusively for cis kids.
Cis women do not 'become' trans men by taking T gel.
Cis boys do not become trans girls by getting estrogen - and yes there are plenty of medical situations cis boys get estrogen. Low estrogen can stop testes developing/dropping.
Ask anyone who got pregnant after forgetting to take a contraceptive pill, you don't take em they don't work.
Hormones are great, bio hacking for comfort, happiness, your own satisfaction should be a basic right of body autonomy.
Its quite hard to encounter a cis woman who hasn't indulged in a bit of the old hormone bio hacking. Contraceptive pill, HRT for menopause, fertility treatments, etc etc
Everyone knows its never permanent after taking 1 dose because the messengers need to keep sending messages.
This is incredibly basic biology.
There is no traversing polarity to 'cross' to, its just garbage to make you think HRT cis people take freely is somehow sinister when trans people also take it to get exactly the same set of messengers in their body cis people want.
'Cross sex hormones' also suggests the idea of furious sex hormones or placid sex hormones...
Seriously though, its just messengers in the body, most people have a quantity of both, all cis endosex people excluding medical issues, produce more than 1 type of sex hormone.
Cis people, including allies seem to not hear us when we try to point this out, but there really isnt a 'cross sex hormone'. A hormone is a messenger in the body, there are more than the ones included in HRT. Testosterone is not the 'opposite' of estrogen, this is daft.
There is no such thing as "cross sex hormones", its a TERFism.
They tried to make it sound like 'cross dressing' to dogwhistle autogynephilia, and separate it out from what cis people enjoy throughout their lives as HRT.
Its also a forced binary, because it suggests there are only 2 genders.
Jo Cox was killed by a man like that guy harassing Hannah Spencer
Powerful image of fire fighters in Glasgow sitting to get some water in, by the statue of the Citizen Firefighter on the corner of Gordon Street.
The grief is palpable everywhere, and yes you will need a mask still the air is horrible.
'if we persecute every minority demographic in the country we will get right wing cranks to vote for us and so long as we save everyone else £100 a year on their energy bills they will all vote for us too' — @darrenpjones.bsky.social
it's the most stupid strategy in the history of british politics
*Save **100 quid on your fuel bills by voting Labour!
*By setting minority bodies on fire to keep you warm as you then go vote Reform
**You bill will in fact be more expensive
Any more student accommodation and i riot.
Its just a work around for lower construction quality 900pcm shoebox studios with terrible plumbing and wiring. Students dont live in them, its just private landlords and venture capitalists
Literally hundreds of self employed people on low income worked out of the Chambers, who will not be able to return indefinitely is a bloody huge impact too. Insurance is going to be tested, can these folks survive the loss of revenue?
My gut tells me its going to be like St Alberts Cross in Pollokshields - insurance doesn't cover full reconstruction so it gets left cordoned off for years like the rest of our burned out husks.
I cant get any info from the Street team yet, so i am dreading if we lost any unhoused/homeless folks
Are fake bone spurs hereditary?
Asking for Barron
THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.
Full solidarity to the Firefighters, amazing job in incredibly difficult circumstances
These fascists are the people whose views on trans Labour is choosing to align with, indeed to promote.
I love this station. Its a happy place for me. I love all the little indie businesses that flourished inside Chambers.
Its an essential hub of Scottish life, its how you commute into the biggest city in Scotland.
I see the media outside of Scotland DGAF. You wonder why we want indie?
Glasgow Central is the busiest station in Scotland, and 3rd outside of London.
Luckily no casualties reported yet, but leaving aside my personal interest in the Grade A listed buildings at risk- this is going to hit commuters and Scotland particularly very hard.
The Missus is watching drone footage of the Union Street fire and sobbing. Its awful. Sick of seeing Glasgow on fire.
The Art School, the theatres. In my little bit of heaven here, we have a crossroads of listed buildings and 3 out of the 4 corners are burned out husks with no timetable to repair
A pal had flooding in her unit on repeat from the ancient sprinkler system. I'm not saying its below safety standards, just, y'know those should not ever be faulty.
No i mean where the hoses are now, i sent my pals pic
Photo of the ongoing fire on Union Street Glasgow showing the façade of the building collapsing and piling up rubble.
Pal who works in there just sent this
Front of the building has come down now too, its horrific
Comparing a person rejecting a nazi candidate to a restaurant order might just be Peak Liberal. So liberals can stop now, they have reached their apex, they can now remain silent.
Demanding better than a nazi dem candidate is exactly like imposing a weird food order in a restaurant?
I am genuinely in awe of this take, its so bad i am almost impressed.
