And we thank them each year on [holiday name TBD]
Some time in the mid 2010s our people decided to just give up on it and start importing raw estradiol from offshore factories to compound and use instead because it actually works.

In case anyone was additionally wondering, yes trans women have tried plant estrogens, soy products, wild yam root and all the other "feminising" things available to bypass medical gatekeeping and none of it was very effective. The feminising power of scare mongering bullshit is not worth bothering.
For anyone who's wondering it was bisphenol A and bisphenol S, which are weakly estrogenic in vivo
Utterly bizarre to throw in ‘feminisation of males’ in there www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Okay so my first driver’s ed teacher barely taught me how to drive safely, which I didn’t know anything about until I had another instructor sub in one time. Like I wasn’t taught how far to look ahead, that level of ineptitude. This was 2 failed exams in. He also regularly fell asleep during lessons
okay one of my best friends just told me her driver's ed teacher was named
wait for it
Mr. Streetman
... and now, because the horrors are horroring, I wish to hear from Bluesky about all your great and bad and terrible and fun driver's ed stories

I mean, gender affirming care has made massive strides in recent years, HIV is no longer a death sentence and there’s a reliable medicine to prevent it from spreading, mRNA vaccines exist now, but that all doesn’t funnel billions to the Bay Area so I guess it doesn’t count as technology
is there a technology that "the left" is excited about?

But those children, the tiny number who because they are trans will only be happy being allowed to transition and grow up to be trans adults, have to be subjected to gatekeeping around FUCKING HAIRCUTS AND PREFERRED NAMES, in order to protect some cis queer kids from haircuts and preferred names.

Every single person involved in this hate campaign and everyone who has supported them - Anas Sarwar, for example - needs to be run out of public life the way they've run Dr Upton out the NHS. Being trans isn't a risk factor for people around you; this obsessive hate absolutely is.
Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients."
The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment!

The disgustingly trans-hostile UK media are now hounding a trans doctor - who has already had the media spotlight on her as a victim of transphobia - because she’s decided to quit and flee the country to get away from the relentless transphobia! 😣😖
