It's still funny to me that people went gaga over the very tall lady. Height either way has never really registered as attractive to me so it's funny watching everyone go "oh my god what if human but long" It's longcat for horny humans is what I'm saying.

Fundamentally I think people understand 'wanting to be a man' more because it's still written into our society that being a man is better than being a woman. It seems natural that a 'woman' should want to be a 'man', but unnatural the other way around. Ugh trying to think like those folk makes me tired.

For non-terf transphobes I think this is a large part of it. There's an assumption of male as superior and/or default, which means "well yeah of course women would want to become men" is an enormous if largely unspoken undercurrent.

I had heard trans women outnumbered trans men by about 2:1 as the ballpark figure but the truth is I don't really trust many statistics on numbers of trans people because for one research has historically been a bit fraught, and also because the yoof being so much more ready to say they're not AGAB implies a number of possibilities which need to be studied and controlled for before we can say much with certainty.

2:1 is the figure of referrals we reached, down from 3:1 when gender dysphoria was a silent and purely medical thing in the nhs, before Tavistock had a messy internal culture war about the EXPLOSION in TEENAGER TRANSMEN and BUT THE OVUMS. Getting accurate data since 2015 is like pulling teeth, and I didn't see any charts made after the 2017 inflection point. When the bulk of the data is drawn from 2 figure sample sizes it's not really any different to medical anecdotes. And speaking anecdotally, I know a hell of a lot more trans men than women, which is probably easily explained by living with the third guy that the papers kept calling the first pregnant man. The notable part is that only a small number of them have any interest in going medical, which I've always assumed was pointing towards some kind of trend.

You would get shouted down, like Starmer fans now, for opposing him, even by some in this thread at the time, although it wasn't as left a place then in fairness. I remember one of his aides screaming in my face and jumping around backstage at the BBC in when he took back Aberdeen South in 2007, it was mental...

Labour is calling for a parliamentary investigation rather than the small powerless one that the Tories are doing so in this case it might just be the media doing the absolute minimum reporting they can get away with on it rather than anything Starmer can do. I am not putting any effort into finding out what Labour are doing and my usual information networks aren't either except to tell me how poo poo Dan Norris is so why that's still a problem for Labour it is a different problem.

I’m not sure the media are doing the minimum reporting they can get away with on it, the whole thing has been driven by the FT and the Sunday Times. The BBC seem to be doing their utmost to ignore it though. I think it’s not easy because it is a genuinely very complicated story.
