Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.
This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.
The study underpinning this played one particular trick.
Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5
There are two things you can do right now to support young trans people in England.
1) Engage in political advocacy and community support. I've got *loads* of advice on this in my blog post and zine "But what can I do? How to fight the trans panic".
If you bought into the "won't someone PLEASE think of the children" narrative for even a second, you're an idiot and I fucking hate your guts. This was never about kids. Trans people have been saying that since the start. The goal is to slowly legislate trans people out of public life.
We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.
Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives
If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!
oh this is excellent
i thought you'd like it!! and thank you omg this is so good
Just did this.
"Rude" is essentially a shadowban and is capriciously applied.
"Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose."
Dudes, your CEO was shrieking "Waffles!" at people.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: baby monkeys in overalls jumping on a bed, having fun. Panel 2: one of the monkeys falls over the edge of the bed, reaching out as he falls. Panel 3: one of the other monkeys, now looking super buff and badass, grabs him by the arm to save him heroically. “Monkey Stronger Together.”

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
THANK YOU i love it so much!!! 😍🪲

ah yeah sorry, maybe i misinterpreted. just to be clear, my response was directed towards the people op is talking about, not op themselves. the way i read it was that people are saying they shouldn't be making art under fascism, when like... that's the most important time to make art, y'know?
A round, light brown tablet made of clay with three lines of cuneiform scripts. Two rulings, or traced straight lines, enclose the writing. The photo also shows the sides of the tablet, including a few damaged parts.
May as well dive right in.
Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?
According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’”

baffling to me. what the fuck is art for if not to communicate the full extent of human emotion, good and bad? do you want all art to just be silly and happy? read maus right now
This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D.
Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate."

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They're allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they're robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone." From The Diary of Ann Frank, January 13, 1943
There is nothing in this excerpt that isn’t happening right now in America.
