Fact: those we'd today call trans/gender diverse etc exist in all history, all regions, and cultures impossible to connect..so by definition such identity CAN'T be some shared "ideology/cult/religion etc"..however, notion trans identity is invalid/shouldn't exist absolutely can ONLY be based in such

sadly, we're clearly at a point trans are being perseceted with little help coming. It will be critical to even more indepedently meticulously track/record/PROVE harm average folk see as hypothetical to trans is REAL and hypothetical harm to cis shouldn't supersede it www.nature.com/articles/s41...

State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA
Nature Human Behaviour - From 2018 to 2022, 48 anti-transgender laws were enacted in the USA across 19 states. This study shows that these anti-transgender laws increased past-year suicide attempts...

No real medical reason trans are mentally ill. That was always based in biased idea trans can/should be "cured". We now know that's false and attempts to become cis/hetero fail/double suicidality. Besides, even if it was..nobody deserves to be discriminated against for who they are. This is heinous.

Increasingly clear a core motive of heinous laws concerning Id's/facility use etc IS constant forced outing of trans. imo It's become modern-day trans equivalent version of Jewish Yellow Badge/lgbtq pink triangle. Serves ZERO purpose but cause harm/ostracize/humiliate/harass/make trans lives harder.

imo, critical we constantly remind the ignorant: methods to change to cis/het fail AND double suicidality. individualized GAC is ONLY treatment w/ any data of any quality shown to help.."do no harm" sets goal MOST kids LIVE, not forced conformity. GAC bans ARE the harm www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Turning humans into "ideology" or "ism" is fascist-style dehumanization tactic to attempt to claim "we don't want to eradicate the ppl, just ideology"..prob? can't separate out being trans. also trans always existed and in ways by def CANT be shared ideology..but notion trans are invalid can ONLY be

"common sense" appears to now just mean oversimplification and/or ignoring all facts more complex than toddlers can grasp to just go by whims of how dolts "feel" about something..seriously people who have LITERALLY actually taken away women's rights lauded as feminists because..trans? true insanity

prob? dems/harris etc spent months pandering to mod/center RW/ind voters..Refused to defend trans or commit to reduce offensive arms to Israel etc..that lost far more of LW base than could be gained by said voters. imo, if Dems want *winning* coalition, they need to get LW base back VS move more RW

Actual truth is GAC has among highest success rates of any treatment of any kind for any condition..it's become blatantly biased double standard for GAC apparently 100% success rate proven ONLY by "high quality data" (unreasonable in case of treatments like GAC) is required to be considered valid.

imo? truly beyond insane after 14rs RW/Tory leadership and watching everything fall apart bit by bit, people voted Labour seeking "change" but the party ended up fully embracing/moving toward RW policies..now Labour is floundering, somehow folk think answer is move MORE to RW like w/ Reform? really?

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
cultural genocide by invalidating trans identity entirely to eradicate/erase them from public life/society was always core motive of RW/GOP etc. No rational compromise was ever possible or they'd care about facts..but it's basically ALL provable lies and facade of "concern" covering sinister intent
000
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
imo huge mistake to think there was ever any "compromise" possible with RW/GOP etc here. their motive, from the start, was FULLY invalidate/erase/eradicate ALL gender diverse/trans identity from public life/society. iow def of cultural genocide. The intent was always sinister in veneer of "concern"

2/vast majority of facts are on trans/GAC side. key argument to dismiss the data is it's "low quality". it's blatantly biased double standard as NOTHING else, esp like GAC when most "high quality" methods wont work/would be unethical, would be banned if had same amount/quality data supportive as GAC
000
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
by "it's complex issue" I think you mean "I won't listen to facts I don't like and will ignore pleas of trans/parents (not you) being actively purposely harmed. that's evience trans suicidality is ALREADY increasing due to these laws..you sound like a willfully ignorant sociopath..sorry for your kid
000
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
imo? also notable basically all RW/anti-trans etc say of trans is based in *provable* lies or at best manipulation of fact. Facts/science and basic compassion etc are ALL on trans side, yet much of LW isn't simply being "outspent", they are purposely investing about NOTHING to defend..not even words

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
takes effort to understand why what you posted is fundamentally flawed, designed to give vaneer of respectability to spread bias. "low evidence quality" bit is manipulation. NOTHING else would be "banned" if had even close to same amount/quality data supportive as individualized GAC for trans youth
000
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
truly insanely blatantly biased double standard being set for malpractice/risk to benefit ratio for GAC. NO type of treatment for any condition is 100% success required to be valid. Individualized GAC is ONLY treatment shown to help trans at all and has among highest success rate of ANY/ALL medicine

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 31/01/2025
clear sign trans are being persecuted is constant baseless blame/demonization. MS media needs to recognize THEY help foment this by both sidesing "concerns" of bigots while NOT debunking provable LIES of GOP/RW/anti-trans while NOT giving equal voice to actual experts/trans themselves etc to respond

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 31/01/2025
you not read the studies? fact is denial/removal of GAC does mean LESS kids live. sadly, that's no hyperbole/empty threat etc..which is partly why folk must more than ever independently meticulously keep track of predictable preventable harm coming. it already started: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Gov is best equipped. they are disappearing research, already conducted, showing reality of trans life and which happens to debunk many GOP LIES about trans..iow erase..if researchers can't reference FACTS, key data can go unknown. it's akin to burning of research by nazis (began w/ trans then too)

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 31/01/2025
2/ it is critical average folk who actually might care, even in slightest and possibly wondering about GAC in good faith, start recognizing that basically EVERY single thing Trump/RW/GOP/gc/terf/anti-trans etc say concerning trans is based in outright *provable* LIES or at best manipulation of fact

perspectives? GAC bans WILL KILL kids. question becomes if you care..invidualized GAC is ONLY treatment shown to help trans at all. attempts to change to cis/hetero fail and doubles suicidality. NO replacement exists. THIS is predictable preventable harm to REAL kids: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

just a note: restroom ban initiated by Nancy Mace and Speaker Mike Johnson has only been in affect for a few weeks and Mace and Lauren Boebert have *already* accosted a cis woman in the restroom..NO incidents with trans EVER at the Capitol. GC/TERF put a target on backs of everyone and endanger ALL!

2/go ahead, try to provide one..and claims of studies showing "no improvement" in depression/suicidality is manipulation as things like PB PREVENT such from getting worse, goal isn't to "improve" to start..yet those STILL showed trans affirmed stayed at base rate while trans not affirmed got *worse*
010
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
except that isn't truth, you are spreading provable lies. only reason you wouldn't care about that is if you are already biased against trans identity. in EVERY study comparing suidality of pre op to post op trans and those who sought and could vs could not access, depression/suicidality diminishes
010
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
that is manipulative LIE and it's disgusting many like you still repeat it. The study people MISrepresent to claim such compares suicidality of Post Op trans to general population and obscure controls, not pre-op to post op trans to general pop or trans who sought and could VS could not access GAC

treatments to "change" to cis/hetero don't work AND DOUBLE suicidality (All imaginable has been tried). Individualized GAC is ONLY treatment with ANY data of ANY quality shown to help most trans.

Awful. Sadly, imo time to prevent much harm to trans is gone. A critical task becomes to meticulously track/record said inevitable/predictable/preventable harm. many folk are decent, yet ignorant, including my own fam. As harm becomes incr irrefutable, imo many will care..best wishes and love to all

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 28/01/2025
How can anyone can still react to this sort of thing with any level of surprise? Imo, soon as folk start realizing those like Wes Streeting are, at core, narcissistic sociopaths, it becomes pretty obvious the direction they'll go at basically every turn. They NEVER do ANYTHING purely to help ANYONE!

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 26/01/2025
also irrelevant, imo, given lgbtq exist in all history and ways CAN'T be shared "ideology"..yet NOBODY is EVER "born" religious, it's *always* learned. not saying they do, but say someone did "choose" to be lgbtq; NO reason that'd be any less valid than fantastical religious beliefs our laws protect

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 24/01/2025
material reality: those we today call gender diverse/trans etc exist in all history, all regions, and cultures impossible to connect..meaning said identities occurred organically all throughout and by definition CAN'T be some shared "ideology"..however, hate/bias etc toward trans can ONLY be such!

One bit not often mentioned but imo should be EVERY time puberty blocker use for trans is compared to cis youth is MANY precocious puberty cases have no known "cause" and have ZERO medical reason to halt. It is done purely to alleviate psychological distress..diff? They care about cis kids distress

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 21/01/2025
insane double standard..imagine ANY other treatment vast majority of patients say it helped, even saved their life, and reaction is "nah, we don't believe you, ban it!"? no treatment of any kind for anything is 100% success rate required to be valid yet that seems standard now set for GAC..pure BIAS

While I never agreed with a TikTok "ban" as attempt to fight claimed potential national security risk nor with Biden signing it VS at least threaten veto to try improving the law..worth noting it wasn't just bipartisan, it passed with enough votes to override a veto, 352-65 in House, 79-18 in Senate

Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

010
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 17/01/2025
how is it so diff than say Nazi "learned" they were w/ a Jew then ppl justify revenge? ONLY by fear/hate are ppl TAUGHT it matters if w/ trans..also, while illegal to lie about gender TO obtain sex, ppl consent to random sex often knowing they know ZERO of them..non-disclosure is NOT always a crime
020
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 17/01/2025
also NHS/Labour *specifically* claim to be fully "transparent", like in response to new petition for ind review of cass..but now KEY data can't be released "in public interest"? imo, wont be forever ppl can deny Cass review itself and any resulting restrictions were blatantly biased political hitjob
010
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 17/01/2025
imo a prob is trans identity is similar to religion in both exist everywhere in all history (occur organically across space/time/culture)..1 diff? core trans identity is similar (w/in a society's norms) through all (can't by def be shared ideology) VS specific religions/beliefs only spread purposely
000
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
Yep..and at this point I'm going to have to wait for a lot more info/details before I can have much more to say about this specific incident outside of basic generalities of law and circumstance..anyway, I gotta get going for the day. have a good one!
010
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
beat her with roller blades, kicked her while down, stabbed 9 times..I'd call that attempted murder..though the charges are grievous bodily harm w/ intent and was premeditated/planned poss w/ hate bias..however if they can't prove the intent was to murder that could be reason for the lesser charges
100
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
that situation DOES change, though, if the person does in fact actively purposely lie/decieve concerning their gender identity and do so with intent to have sexual interaction..esp if specifically asked and not under threat when disclosure or refusal to could mean real harm
000
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
except context and intent behind the lie matters..simple non disclosure is NOT automatically sex crime. ex: random people have rex w/ others all the time knowing little to nothing about them. they consent knowing they know nothing about them and medical history is protected info NOBODY is "entitled"
100
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
can't just jump to call it sex crime w/o knowing more context and the ONLY people who would try to equate attempted murder with nondisclosure of trans identity are truly disgusting sociopaths..also still might've lied due to feeling threatened NOT w/ intent to decieve to obtain sex..the diff matters
100
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
kinda is as theyd see it as "disgusting/shameful etc"..attraction to trans wont make you gay or really mean anything and my bet? entire attack is purely over frail masculinity/shame..and only reason they feel such is they are TAUGHT to through incessant anti-trans fear-mongering/hate/propaganda etc
110
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
yea, it's most fair article concerning this I've seen so far in basically any media, but wording and lack of some details which wouldn't have to be specific but could be clarifying is still suspect imo..sometimes it's quite clear the actual GOAL is to stir up controversy and trans rarely get a voice
100
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
depends on how far they go..if you are attracted to a person, you are attracted to them. people randomly have sex with random people all the time w/o disclosing medical details..YOUR argument is like WWII Nazi found out someone they were with was actually Jewish then justifying some horrific revenge
100
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
partly why I need more info, but a sure bit: media like Telegraph can't be trusted to not purposely write in a way/leave out details etc to always make trans the villain..also possible she felt compelled to lie then pressured into the act both from fear..but I'll look to learn more like of the video
110
Never give up! @timetogetreal.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
most do..but also absurd/unrealistic (possibly literally dangerous) expectation in some (not all) situations. nondisclosure isn't same as active deception (seems that occurred after threatened)..how to tell right then if disclosing VS lying gets you stabbed. in any case, heinous to equivocate here
