The massive overlap for gendered toys shows that they really are unnecessarily gendered and most kids will just play with whatever as long as you don't shame them about it.



Of course transphobe island takes the very reasonable radfem statement that toys should not be gendered in the way that they are and warps it into some utter nonsense about how kids are being transed just for playing with the wrong dolls, which is not how anything works.

Also apparently it is impossible for anyone to identify as anything other than their gender assigned at birth?? Or "men identify as men, women identify as women" which is like, duh?

thank you to the right honorable owl fancier for somewhat restoring order. another IK would be good, were any of us willing. i hope it will roll over to the next thread this time - when we make the summer one we should make that a point of order to check first thing.

Thank you to everyone who read my post by the way! I spent all 8 hours of work today writing stuff for my unison branch instead of my actual job where I have a significant backlog of stuff. I'm very union-brained right now.

I just hope that at some point we will have Rosena Allin-Khan as health secretary. Hey someone brought up that Unison post thing.

As a Band 9000 type when it comes to IT procurement some parts can be quite rigid, and it depends on how you score things in order to get a good response. I personally like to dip costs to quite a low scoring and quality / functional fit higher with the ability to trial systems without contractual onboarding.

Crown Commercial procurement is a bitch but if you do need some assistance on anything give me a yell on PM and can share a couple of things.

I would like to get more involved in union stuff but feel not my place so vibe along unless it’s done thing I can help with.

Oh, I don't do any procurement at all and i'm very glad for it lmao. I'm not entirely sure of the concepts you've referenced but thanks for sharing your perspective, and I apologise if I generalised unfairly!

As for union membership, it sounds like you could join Managers in Partnership (MiP). I don't actually know very much about it though, other than it being affiliated with Unison. Perhaps some other posters could elucidate further!

In future I would encourage you to consider that if I have to probate and threadban a guy to stop him making GBS threads up the thread, it might be a sensible idea to not jump in immediately afterwards with "yeah but he was right though" just to further annoy everybody.

If you enjoy NJAN99's posting very much then I encourage both of you to go post in the GBS thread or something.

I have a question for people here who probably know more, and it’s a genuine question because it’s not an area I am particularly in - have read and heard stuff from UK media on Cass report and it _seems_ reasonable, but seeing strong opinions against it.

On the general level I have no issue with letting people be and do what they want and who they are, but what is the counter medical info that this is in conflict with?

Feel hesitant asking this, but genuinely asking and interested to know. People here seem to be much closer to this discussion than I am.

I give it maybe two days the terfy science writer in the Finnish newspaper of record picks up on that report (the national broadcaster already did), and regurgitates it up as a story or a column with zero critical input. Happened with that one BBC trans story year back already.

The general understanding I have of it is that the report deliberately disregards all the evidence supporting the utility of trans healthcare in order to construct the conclusion that it's dangerous.

On a more personal level I just find it extremely difficult to take seriously the idea that trans people don't want or need healthcare because there are shitloads of people who will very willingly tell you that they do want it, that it helps them when they get it, and that it really sucks to not have it. Like I can't even really understand what a gender identity even feels like but very clearly and demonstrably there are a lot of people who have them and also very visibly and clearly they're not something you can just... pretend doesn't exist if you do have one. And if you have one and it's in conflict with how you look and have to present to the world, clearly and demonstrably that's something people need to be allowed and helped to fix.

There just isn't a good argument to the contrary, they're all just some variation of people just being lovely about gender roles generally, people posting at each other to hype each other up about the infinite cross dressed predatory men who are definitely hiding in the walls of the bathroom just out of your field of vision and the only thing that can stop them is washing your bloody knickers in the sink. Oh and people who are right wing culture warriors who are repeating straight up nazi talking points about how it's a jewish plot to destroy western society.

Like you can see the landscape of the debate pretty easily, I don't think you really need double blind scientific studies to see who to listen to and that's not why I pick the side I do.
