Yeah! We do have canned/bottled mochas in supermarkets but never seen them offered in a restaurant

I feel like I've only seen it in spoons (cheap chain pub famous for being consistently mediocre and very into Brexit) and it's from a machine

Well unfortunately UK prosecution guidelines states that people not disclosing even if they were never asked is still deception. You clearly do not understand the issues here and it is absolutely disgusting you called a trans woman a rapist because she said disclosure shouldn't be mandatory.

I'm saying that there are trans sex workers who do not disclose they are trans to people buying their services for a variety of reasons. If you don't understand that then you obviously don't have much respect for them!

Because some people do sex work as a start.

CASE has also published today a useful explainer on the background to the case, in which O'Malley's action has resulted in suppression for the last 9 months of the entire LGBTQI+ special edition of the Journal of Irish Counsellors & Psychotherapists.

I observed over the summer that one of the best acts of allyship you can do for the trans people in your life is to take something off their plates. Having the state relentlessly grind you into dust does deplete your mental reserves.

I am currently so busy that I want to crawl out of my own skull.

It will never not bother me the claim that "people are not attracted to possession of certificates" is equally true of an original birth certificate.

Depressing coroner also failed to acknowledge the puberty blockers he referred to as likely to have helped her are no longer prescribed at those clinics.

The laser hair removal is just about deageing skin surfaces and ensuring any product applied is absorbed fully into the skin. No other reason.

People know roughly how to get jobs (although actually helpful advice i.e. not the shit at jobcentre on applying for people who actually want it is something that should be offered), the issue is that there aren't any jobs, especially for people who can work but need adaptations!

If you're in the UK you should opt out of research with GP here:

But it makes it much harder to do and if enough people do it will really fuck with them.

This is also exactly what Cass wanted to do (and what most adult GICs correctly blocked her from doing.) Usually the research data is more anonymous and doesn't result in researchers being able to access photos of your genitals (!!!!)
