The TIMs just can’t stand women having something of our own.

A mother discussss her experiences, and her families experience, with Cath Leng.

Parents are primary safeguarders. A movement that promotes distrust of parents, en masse, is exceedingly dangerous and should be seen as such.

Only one study has ever directly assessed whether providing cross-sex hormones to youth attending gender clinics was associated with a statistically significant, independent difference in the suicide death rate. It found no such difference.

Nor did it state anything about whether such treatment saves lives.

In fact, I asked the study’s lead author if his paper reached the conclusion that Reed claimed, that it showed that pediatric gender-transition treatment reduced the suicide death rate. He said that it did not.

Astrophysicist Katie Mack reposted on Bluesky a Substack article by Erin Reed about a new study with the proclamation that “Gender-affirming care saves lives.”

And yet it is not possible that this study, given it was observational, could have identified such a causal link. 1/

I was uneasy about the mansion tax prior to the budget. Having now seen newspapers full of people who bought their property for buttons moaning about it I now want a 50% confiscation of the value from anyone who moans about it.

A thoroughly depressing article. “Ethical trials require a clear intent to answer a scientific and clinical question that can inform future treatment decisions. It is hard to see what that question is.”

Example 102.589 of men telling women they are not allowed to post about women's rights.

Trying to stop women from advocating for their rights is the textbook definition of misogyny.
oh you’re just one of those weirdo euros who for some reason takes trans people having rights as a personal affront and posts about it all day, we can just wrap this here

I feel the trans debate, for want of a better expression, is actually used by the hard right as a knowingly divisive issue between generally left leaning people. There is surely a huge gulf between a belief that trans people should not exist and should not be allowed to compete as female athletes?

I feel the opposite.

I don't understand how people I know who used to criticise creationists, antivaxxers and cllimate deniers, in a few years began insisting that a man could literally become a woman just because he declared he was, and that inner feelings took precedence over biological reality.
