A Chinese official attempted some of that Wolf Warrior Diplomacy ™ shit. It did not go well. Philippines' Defence Minister Gilberto Teodoro was speaking up for smaller nations and international law at a forum in Korea when he was handed a note from a Chinese official, meant as intimidating.

I love the hypersexuality common to trans conversation, expression, art, and relationships. Pleasure matters. We should feel excited. We’ve fought so hard for ourselves and feeling alive in bodies that can feel like they can finally belong to us. No wonder some of us want to howl about it.

This is the most fucked up and immediately harmful policy decision I think I've ever seen in adult trans healthcare in the UK, and that's saying something. The Welsh Gender Service is one of the best in the country. It is widely praised by the patients it helps. That is why it is being targeted.

NHS cancelling surgeries for adults even after they’ve already paid for travel + accommodation and waited years to get there. Some were about to be wheeled into theatre! Every manager responsible for this decision must be sacked and every patient paid compensation.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.
"A data table summarizing the results of a literature review on various hormone therapy interventions for binary and non-binary groups. It lists ten intervention categories, detailing the number of full texts assessed, studies included, and studies excluded for each. The bottom row shows a total of 547 texts assessed, 17 studies included, and 530 studies excluded."

A comment from Reddit user Ms_Masquerade, reading:

"One day, decades from now, cis het people will apologise. They will grieve. They may even get angry and demand to know how people fell for every obvious lie in it's angry determination to destroy a group of people for no reason except votes, self-absorbed hatred and attention. 

But all that will ignore the obvious brutal truth to people in the future: emotions can not unkill those killed in cruel circumstances. 

No amount of regret from cis het people is going to bring back to life teenagers, just kids, who were driven to kill themselves by a society that wanted to tell them all how absolutely undesirable they are. These daughters, sons, brothers and sisters, forced into nooses, overdoses and razorblades by cruelty so profound, that even a medication that is as side effect free and reversible as medication can even get is denied to them on the back of lies. Not even small tiny gasps of relief are afforded. 

They will sadly be considered suicide so the charlatans, spiteful and gullible will avoid responsibility for what is not murder, not a serial killing, but a total massacre of children. There will be no punishment for these criminals, in the future or today, only punishment for the vulnerable today."

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
