Assuming trans people's physiology based on our birth certificates is potentially unsafe

Extract of text saying "The clinical research team found that troponin levels shifted towards the affirmed gender after 12 months of hormone therapy.

Troponin decreased in transgender women to a level not statistically different from cisgender women, but which was 78% lower than in cisgender men.

In transgender men, troponin increased to the range of cisgender men and became roughly seven times higher than in cisgender women"

I think its more a problem that y’all can’t recognise fascism if its said with a veneer of calm cool decency and dismiss antifascism wether its polite or loud

This veneration of performance is pathetic and is easily exploited. You are being taken for a ride James

James O’Brien @mrjamesob.bsky.social · 9h

This calm, cool decency is dangerously absent from our discourse at the moment. Almost everyone is embracing, normalising or ignoring the 'cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.'
We need more Bertrands.

We figured fuck it: we’d already helped these malicious shitehawks to wreck their own party to a nationally disastrous defeat then cheered them on as they mutilated it and stomped it do death, and now they were telling us what we wanted to hear. And we could always disown it, if it went badly wrong.

Still, with a big majority, it seemed that, perhaps at last, the "grown-ups" were in charge. After the clown show, there was, Labour people thought, a pent-up surge of overseas investment waiting to arrive in a refreshingly competent Britain. Standing outside Downing Street, Starmer promised
"to restore service and respect to politics, end the era of noisy performance, tread more lightly on your lives, and unite our country".
But overseas shocks kept coming. Any prim air of Church Army virtue about the new government was stripped early on by scandals - Waheed Alli, spectacles, clobber, concert tickets. They were small but profoundly demoralising.
Above all, the Labour establishment had underestimated the deeper difficulties of so much it was facing. The intractable problem of ballooning welfare spending

This fucking drivel sounded superficially plausible so we all figured What the hell, it can’t be worse and maybe it’ll work? And even if it’s a disaster, we can just shrug, blame somebody else and move on to new bullshit completely unscathed, just as we have done repeatedly throughout our careers.

But at this point I succumbed to that hard-to-forgive journalistic sin: the faint prickle of optimism. I felt it as much as a citizen as a hack. With Keir Starmer, there was a public-spirited, faintly puritanical, undeniably serious figure, surrounded by colleagues who spoke well about the need for reinvestment in British infrastructure, clearing away the barriers to growth and giving the shunned, dilapidated parts of the country a new start.

Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

i have talked about this a lot but it bears repeating that staying on twitter is literally just exposing yourself to unmitigated nazi propaganda. it’s constantly shoved in your face to the point where you start to think that things like this are normal.

Trump's criminal greed is so shitty to me because he *knows* he's on death's door and he won't be around long enough to enjoy his ill gotten lucre anyway, and he clearly does not care about what he's passing on to his children. It's a lizard brained impulse. An addiction.

We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future.

A future marked by scarcity and disaster.

A future these people are accelerating.

That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality.

Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.
