I read somewhere that the sound of people talking in The Sims is supposed to be what english sounds like to non-english speakers. Not sure if true.

Charlz Guybon posted:WTF The clinic or whatever mentioned in those tweets had a scandalous expose recently that's driving the TERFs wild since its a pretty decent excuse to ditch the whole thing from the NHS. Some of the stuff is genuinely hosed up like not taking procedures and consent seriously enough when dealing with kids. Other stuff is vague references to terf bugbears like the fact that some parents are reported as wanting their kids to transition to make them not gay. That one obviously fits so well with Terf ideology that they may as well have discovered the bathroom attack classes It's pretty hosed up, unless it's all completely fabricated the stuff coming out of there is extremely "this is the one thing we didn't want to happen"

What's also interesting is that the consequences of the history of doing this remains one of our strongest pieces of evidence that gender identity is biological, and why 'they are tricking autistic girls into becoming trans men" is less likely than "the neurological structures that lead to autism may have some correlation with the neurological structures that produce a male gender identity."

the entire NHS gender clinic infrastructure is awful and not fit for purpose. trans people hate it because it's under resourced, under staffed, and very slow to adjust its methods to modern practice in how to actually deal with trans people, transphobes hate it because it allows people to transition. just a clusterfuck all round this is me when anyone ever tries to insult me irl, throwing a printout of all my something awful posts in their face

My brother transitioned awhile back and it took years of NHS poo poo to even get started to the point where a GP was witholding his perscription because he didn't believe him. To get surgery he went private because of the amount of unknowns with the waiting list and when they'd be able to operate. I think it was like they'd just call you eventually and you'd be expected to be avaliable for a slot in like a 2 week time frame and if you couldn't do it then you're back to waiting for months/years.

My brother transitioned awhile back and it took years of NHS poo poo to even get started to the point where a GP was witholding his perscription because he didn't believe him. yeah the gender clinic I went to had I believe the best waiting time and I still had to wait over a year to get my first appointment. some places are like three years. for the children's clinics it's definitely in the region of years I mean there does need to be better support for questioning-if-i'm-trans people figuring out their stuff, right now the system is so bare-bones that for all practical purposes it's "figure it out by yourself and come to us basically when you're certain". Ideally there would be some counselling available that was completely separate from the people doing treatment so you could feel free to express initial uncertainty without worrying it would dilute your case if you decided to transition later on, and ideally ideally it would all be done on an informed consent basis anyway so you didn't have to feel like you were convincing some guy you were trans. But no way do I trust these terf groups to suggest anything approaching the correct procedure. like, "how do we judge if this person is able to weigh up the risks in either direction to this procedure and give meaningful consent" is not a brand new issue and the answer is not "always wait until they're 18 also don't trust them if they show signs of autism because that means they can't make choices ever"

Communist Thoughts posted:The clinic or whatever mentioned in those tweets had a scandalous expose recently that's driving the TERFs wild since its a pretty decent excuse to ditch the whole thing from the NHS. My immediate reaction to that is that the "anti conversion therapy" rider that was talked about in Truss's leaked policy, something that a lot of us were thinking "well, at least there's that" about, is actually something that's only there so they can weaponise it against GICs. I don't know what to make of the writeup of that programme. I can totally buy that there are parents taking their kids to the GIC with all sorts of hosed up ideas about transness and gayness, and that there are some that would try a line like that. I find it hard to believe that anyone at the GIC would entertain that in prescribing treatment. People on the inside flagging up concerns about "I cannot believe some of the poo poo that these parents come in here with" is, in that scenario, a sign that they're doing their job, weeding out the people coming in with misconceptions. They better had be, frankly; much as I want people to take trans kids seriously so they don't have to go through what I did, I also want people to be careful. And nothing about the GICs I've experienced suggests they aren't careful. Yes they have huge problems coming out of underfunding, the clerical stuff particularly bad with people waiting ages for communication and whatnot.

It's a fairly transparent strawman. Nobody is pushing for the scenario of "GP, I think I might be tra-" "Ah ah, say no more, here's a year's supply of hormones and a surgery voucher" Just like nobody is pushing to transition children the second they show any signs of gender non-conformity. But I think it sounds a bit like the wider NHS - we feel forced to defend it despite its shortcomings, because any admission of problems immediately has the Crowbar of Total Abolition stuck in it.

Let's start with saying we want GPs hanging out on rooftops with dart guns full of estradiol taking potshots at anyone they think is too masc and then we can compromise on a well funded gender healthcare programme.

lol Guavanaut posted:It could be the case that it's both too slow (36 month waits) and too fast (under pressure to prescribe once you've got an appointment) but I'd need to see evidence of that and also the solution is, as Angepain said, more funding. yeah, i mean it's hard and i'm sure mistakes do happen but like ehhhhh i just get the vibe that there's still a ton of transphobes out there and a lot of the articles around it don't seem to connect to reality, or at least what i know my brother experienced, so i find it hard to take them seriously.

^^^ [e]: loving Christ. 6th largest economy in the world, 2nd/3rd highest coronavirus deaths. Reminds me of when gay marriage got some traction, and people were screaming how they were going to be forced into gay marriage. Don't get me wrong that's still the plan, but after discussion with our Trans comrades, we've decided to also implement the Mandatory Trans policy - although debates are still being held as to whether it should be before, during, or after the Enforced Gay Marriages.

And the Greeks also believed that at funerals you should drink uncut wine. That was in special designed jugs that didn't have proper bottoms, so the only way you could put it down without spilling your wine was to drink it all. Very civilized this.
