It’s tempting to don the tinfoil and think he’s got a backhander from Wegovy to spew this out but honestly the column is so deeply poo poo, and quite clearly one of those ones where the “columnist” dictates a few thoughts to a ghostwriter who then bashes it out to the requisite length that I doubt it.

what is it about transphobia specifically that rots peoples' brains like this, where they go from being a run-of-the-mill lib or centrist to literally the only criteria they have for judging whether something is good or bad is 'does it hate trans people'

My theory is gently caress you, got mine. Every righteous movement has its members that are only in it because they personally are affected. They lean liberal out of habit, and because their friends do so; but when push comes to shove, they only really care about themselves and not any greater principle. So its more than plausible for them to pull the ladder up and find a new context.

Honestly I think it's the same insane brain rot that anti-Semites have (looking at you, Institut fuer Sexualwissenschaft), in that trans people are able to be an "enemy" that walks unseen amongst us. The paranoia that they're everywhere and not immediately visibly different makes your brain enter crisis mode.

That stuff works and it'd be better if it was dispensed wholesale via the NHS.

Of course if you're snorting cocaine and meth it might affect your appetite in other ways.

From all his history of lying upto yesterday, I can only conclude he doesn't raid his fridge, he is allergic or never eats cheddar and chorizo, he doesn't believe it will cure anyone, and its not a drug, its probably just mud or poo poo.

It's interesting stuff! It seems to actually work, but: a) It's kind of pricey, b) You need to keep taking it to maintain the weight loss and c) nobody's quite sure about the long term effects yet.

I'm kind of tempted to seek it out myself, cos I've got some fat around my middle that I've completely failed to shift by conventional means but I can see myself regretting it if I do.

All drugs should be freely available on an informed consent model to everyone but given that they're not, I hope the companies making them are making enough that there's no shortage for the people with diabetes once all the people taking them for weight loss have had theirs.

I’d probably give it a try myself now that I’m old and falling apart and dieting just doesn’t do poo poo in the face of the passing of time, but I’m terrified of needles so when the alternative is having to stab myself every day I’ll just stick to falling apart.

It's not full-on injections! Just a little gizmo that you prick yourself with. The injection thing put me off too, until I found out it wasn't actual injections.

Tbf there are like a load of alternative drugs in that same class for diabetes and only 2 for weight loss.

I'm not an endocrinologist but I do wonder if they're being pushed as weight loss medications vs diabetes medications is because they're not actually good enough compared to the oral versions to justify the increased cost. You can get the various gliptins which act along the same pathway and they've been around for long enough for generics to exist.

Any of youse know of anyone that makes a combination VHS/DVD/Bluray player? I've had to fight the rats nest at the back of my dad's TV today and condensing some of it into one HDMI and one power cable would do minor wonders for it.

Ozempic was the only drug that seriously helped my wife lower her insulin amounts, start to lose weight and help manage her extremely complex form of diabetes that combined insulin resistance and a hosed pancreas.

But thanks to all the weight loss trends she hasn't been able to get it on the NHS since the start of the shortages and her mental health has taken a loving nosedive.

It really loving sucks watching a tiktok trend destroy the person I love the most and there's nothing I can do about it.
