Gender Discussion #108

‚Attention isn’t something that I have had a lot of.‘

No tit! That seems to apply to a lot of people who identify as trans. I have seldom seen any stunners or very dynamic people adopting a ‚gender identity‘. It is a way for plain people to feel ‚special‘ and gain attention, by making themselves into someone else. It really is self hating. I love seeing women who are confident and self accepting, which is the opposite of this crapola. Just be yourself!

These masks should be illegal in public (in fact IMO any mask should now - covid isn't the threat it was believed to be and people are vaccinated). Masks of all types - and this includes niqabs - allow people to behave with impunity. They could commit any crime and there is no way to describe/ recognise the offender.

It's a free pass for anyone acting in bad faith. Who could say who they are behind the mask?

Attention? That thing is bleeping terrifying and I don’t think any attention he’s getting is for the reason he thinks.
What is the obsession with attention anyway? As a woman ( albeit old and weird) attention is the last thing I want.

It’s so dishonest. Even Stevie Wonder could see that’s a man. #Not our crimes.

Interesting!

I don't know how they would stand legally if the hospital has to agree to offer the service - but I imagine that if they argue that they can't get professional insurance/ insurance is prohibitively expensive then they might be able to stick to their refusal.

Especially if they stick together. Lawsuits are just around the corner and we need surgeons to focus on surgeries that are actually necessary.

In what way does going round a supermarket exclude trans people FFS? Ridiculous virtue signalling. I must admit that round my way, there’s been very little Pride stuff up in shops.
Theres nothing in any Co ops this year, Sainsbury’s has a Pride logo on the hand scanners, but that’s it and Morrisons has the original rainbow without the Progress monstrosity. It’s certainly a lot less round here than last year.

I went to Sainsbury's in Nottingham yesterday and not all the scanners have the homophobic Progress Pride logo - some just have the normal Sainsbury's opening screen. I'd say maybe a fifth of the available scanners didn't have the Pride logo. Obviously we chose one without the logo; I wonder if Sainsbury's are monitoring the choices?

Just went into my Sainsbury's earlier (yes I go too often), and all the point of sale stuff near the door was Fathers' Day and World Cup stuff and beer. It might depend on the specific stores but this is definitely less Progress-Flaggy this year.

I wonder whether all the branches are the same. I thought they all had the vile logo when I went.

Waiting for a bus today in Dublin, and along came one with the rotten progress flag emblazoned on it. Ugh. Thankfully it wasn't my route and the one I got was the normal everyday colours.

Especially if they stick together. Lawsuits are just around the corner and we need surgeons to focus on surgeries that are actually necessary.

This is from Reddit, so not exactly a reliable source. But it appears that hormones and surgeries seem to be getting more difficult to obtain.

According to Google, funding for phalloplasty (the so called "bottom surgery" for TIF) was cut in 2021, resulting in a drastic reduction in hospitals offering this. Reddit says that one of these hospitals has just announced it will no longer perform this procedure leaving only one hospital doing these.
Google says: "phalloplasty is centrally commissioned by NHS England and primarily performed in London at facilities". This sounds like more than one hospital, but maybe all in London?

(In contrast, vaginoplasty ("bottom surgery" for TIM) is offered by 3 different NHS hospitals. I believe that phalloplasty is a more complex surgery which might explain the difference).

Both surgeries have a very high rate of long-term complications and - IMO - the lawyers are going to have a field day.

Hormones are often prescribed under shared care. Shared care is an arrangement where a hospital consultant decides which medication is appropriate and the patient's GP then takes over the regular prescribing. Sometimes the GP can make changes to the dosage but for any significant alterations the Consultant is involved.

According to Reddit, increasing numbers of GP's are refusing to take over prescribing hormones, stating that they don't have the necessary training or experience to monitor the patients.

Hmm.
Maybe this is true
...or maybe they don't agree with giving cross-sex hormones
...or maybe they are covering their backs.

Or maybe a mixture of the above.

And finally, Reddit also says that TIF are increasingly having difficulty finding a GP surgery who will administer testosterone injections.

Whatever is happening, if the threat of lawsuits is making the medical profession nervous - good!
