This is evil. This will lead to deaths of children. Fuck everyone involved. I wish there was a hell for TERFs to go to.
Somehow I don’t think many Tories are TERFs
They are just plain useless pieces of worthless shit
banning puberty blockers for trans kids but allowing cis kids (who have been using them for like four decades without harm) on the start of pride is pretty absurd.
it also shows that it’s not actually about protecting kids but about impose section 28.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only reason I know of for cis kids to use puberty blockers is as a measure against the condition precocious puberty, which basically means the body is going into puberty too soon.
If that’s correct, then this isn’t really a good argument, because using drugs to delay premature puberty until its ‘normal time’ is very different from delaying ‘normal time’ puberty to a future ‘late time’–the latter moves the body into an abnormal state, while the former movies out out of one.
Isn’t that kind of like arguing that because we’ve been using blood thinners successfully for a long time (leaving out that it’s used primarily on people who are prone to blood clots to treat that condition), that there’s definitely no harm in prescribing blood thinners to people with regular blood?
for cis kids they would take them to delay puberty until a time in the future at which point they come off the blockers and everything works fine, which defeats the main terf talking point of “irreversible changes” or being dangerous to children.
the only difference is that trans children would take them only until they can start taking hormones.
Oh, don’t worry; they definitely want to ban them for cis kids too (or at least girls). The one thing Conservatives the world over have in common is they like their women young.
Unless someone is against trans people existing, is there any merit to doing this? Why make a person go through puberty twice just because they’re “too young” to decide?
Trans people have been chosen as the current boogeyman of the UK for them to expiate for their own failings as a country, and for the consecutive disasters provoked by the Tories. It’s a sleight of hand that allows them to distract the public with a fear without basis on reality in order to avoid taking responsibility of their own failures.
Hey, I thought it was the people who come on boats!
Where I live, immigrants are the new boogeymen too. But the Conservatives have a big market in immigrants too, so when “other immigrants, not YOU immigrants” doesn’t work, I guess that’s what trans people are for! Lol
because they know starmer’s labour will continue to go along with it.
WTAF is happening right now.
Sir? SIR! Stop the train, I demand to get off at once!
As you step off the train you are met with the void. As the last glimpse of the train disappears you realized you are doomed to wander the void forever.
(I honestly don’t really know were this comment is going. It just sounded funny in my head.)
Spelling
I want to propose a few different meanings of TERF
Trans exclusionary radical frauds
Transphobia extreme rat fucks
Terrible egotistical rich fascists
Totally elbow rash fungus
Feel free to add your own.
Taliban-equivalent reactionary fascists
What does TERF mean?
Trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
They generally refer to themselves as “gender-critical feminists”.
The first part “trans-exclusionary” is pretty self-explanatory. “Radical” meaning they believe the whole system needs an overhaul, and mostly comes from the branch of feminism that TERFs/gender-criticals grew out of.
I prefer the term Feminist Appropriating Ridiculous Transphobe (FART)
deleted by creator
Trans exclusionary rad fem. It’s a radical feminist that basically believes that your gender assigned at birth is fixed and cannot change
Terf island strikes again.
