Cybersecurity nerd, violinist. I just want to watch magdalen bern. A huge problem to a sane world.

It’s fucked. To get all the way through the GIC referral, wait and multi-specialist diagnosis process, through all those hurdles, up to the finish line (GP) just to be told ‘nah not gonna do that’ is absolutely crushing.
A lot of GPs are like this and patients are powerless.
I looked into her and aside from todays delay-disappointment thing I couldn't find a hint of transphobia. She just seems to think that 'uncertainty' is worse than 'confirmed badness', which is misguided but her heart is in the right place.
Impressed how much you travel around for your reporting
Potential delays of more than a year though! don't often get optimism from them
I like to imagine how they 'prove' the deletion of data, this manifestly uncopyable thing
Noooo not the high street bookies, they are the foundation of our society
Please, we would like to keep breakfast down
Not a bad sign so far, of course the EHRC are going to keep pushing for it but the ministers haven't rubber stamped it immediately - so some cause for hope
Maybe they should try being disorganised as shit and subjecting people to a bunch of unnecessary hurdles before letting them do what they want with their own body
I refuse to vote tactically anymore - if labour have problems with the voting system then they can use that massive majority of theirs to change it

“I have to consent” - hmmm
Then there is a further problem we have of the widespread reluctance among GPs to prescribe trans HRT that a GIC hasn’t initiated. ‘I am only a smol bean GP, I don’t know how to do the big scary hormones’ - meanwhile the GIC endos just compare bloods to standard cis levels and adjusts dose.
They rarely have direct effects, but when things are 'abandoned following strong public opposition' (like road pricing), they form a key, measurable part of that opposition.
I didn’t realise that - I guess there are records around like credit history too
I don't see how it practically can be unless they go digging through birth records and the GRA register. For the same reason the EHRC guidance doesn't work - there are just too many practical problems to be worth catering to the vocal hate voter.
Don't drive traffic to his blog like this, it benefits him. Here is an archive: archive.is/8Aq83

Even if it was true, what are clinicians supposed to take from this? 'we should make 80% of patients go through the wrong puberty so 20% don't have their puberty delayed?'. It's like a twist of the old legal age 'It's better 10 trans people suffer than 1 cis person suffers'
Kinda dig this headline, I want to be the force of chaos in the world that they say we are
Were you watching the London bombings docu?
I don’t know who is supposed to be united by this - he tries (a bit) to appeal to both sides but doesn’t seem to realise there is no middle ground that anyone will be remotely comfortable with.
The Transphobe narrative is that all trans men are damaged helpless girls who are not threatening at all. Their rules also account for any exceptions by allowing (or requiring?) their exclusion from both women’s and men’s spaces in a way that magically still leaves them a space to use.
“Seems likely” said without irony in response to the most unhinged take anyone has made about this so far. Have they seen trans people try to organise - it does not happen.
