Polycule falls apart

Almost.

"Molly got in touch with her local MP"

and later

"He has posted images of himself using the female toilets"

That article is amazing , Sophie and heather are correctly sexed through out.

Well Sophie seems to have made a new friend in first blackman

Lily Tino? He always strikes me as a dangerous bloke. Wasn't he banned from Disneyland for filming in the ladies toilets?

Knife to the heart is what that man who filemd himself eating alone in places in the states would say when some server with English as a secnd language would call him sir.

It's like the noodle version of Eurotrash - but with added woman hatred. Totally batshit.

Poppy Hackett claimed pot noodle was so unbearable that he drove him to self harm (including with knives) and OD so pot noodle is reclaiming the narrative here

Yesterday my friend said I was a loser.

I'd known my friend for many, many years.

The emotional pain was like a knife through the heart.

But I'd rather the pain than be a turf.

Oh, mate. The nasal voice, the non sequiturs, the superbly clunky anti-scansion. Don't ever change.

Oh my god 😂

He's singing droning that he'd injured his ankle and it was bad but it's better than being a TERF.

The Bontempi element has an interesting dual function. It soundtracks both the listener's extreme tension that the vocal is about to start again as well as the sense of head-spinning euphoria that occurs when the vocal stops.

I managed two seconds of that. It hasn't helped my insomnia , it's the anti lullaby

He's fired up the Bontempi

I’m not a fan of headlines suggesting this was simply about a higher rate of referrals. The service was already a Service of Concern and under heightened investigation, so there was clearly a wider context.

The report says the issues identified “include” higher referral rates and concerns about referral appropriateness. “Include” matters — it suggests these were not necessarily the only concerns, particularly while the investigation is ongoing edit - there may be concerning information emerging as part of the process or cannot easily be made public like whistleblowers.

And this isn’t the minute of the meeting where surgeries were paused. So it’s misleading to suggest someone simply saw a high referral rate and decided to cancel all surgery. The published evidence points to a much wider set of concerns and an ongoing assurance process.

And there was me thinking trans tourism was staying at home in Doncaster and using AI to insert yourself into pics of the French Riviera.

If it's within an NHS area then it's fine; going out-of-area isn't. For instance, if I live in Oxfordshire I can ask to be referred to any hospital or specialist within Oxfordshire as far as I know (and possibly some units in adjacent counties; not sure about that). What would be dodgy would be to ask for a referral to Aberdeen or Abergale, I expect.

Stack me what an abuse of a commonly funded health care system it is.

Going out of area for a referral if it’s easier. We know this was happening in Brighton with the (now disgraced) enthusiastic trans man doctor. I would imagine the internet has loads of useful information about how quickly you can get an appointment and how readily a particular doctor prescribes.

Ed for typos (introduced by autocorrect 😑)

What is trans tourism? Is it a thing now?

I watched some, 'what to expect from your first visit' videos from Scottish gender services, which are very affirming, & all made clear that hormones aren't prescribed on the first visit, so I was a bit shocked to see that in Wales they're handed out automatically.

I suspect the WGS figures are a combination of trans tourism and that it’s probably run by loons who refer everyone for surgery on the first visit. It was supposed to be independently reviewed in 2024 and has been a service of concern for some time but trans exceptionalism means nothing has been done about this. Thank heavens for Nick Wallis who has been doing what investigative journalists should do.

I'm not the only transgender in the village

"significantly higher rates of referral for gender affirming surgery... compared with English gender services"

Hang on: does this suggest that more Welsh people are trans than people in the rest of the country?

If it does, why might that be?

Is that overall, or per capita population (there's quite a difference! England, 56.5 million; Wales, 3.2 million; if it is over all, it's terrifying)? Or is it just that there are several clinics in England and only one in Wales?

Is it just that Welsh medics are more likely to pass the buck upwards if someone wants to be treated as the sex they aren't?

It looks like referral for surgery is multiple times the rates for other clinics

Tinkerbell felt people were denying his existence if they were not constantly affirming him and he claimed it was killing him. Hence the name. Constantly affirming is the verbal equivalent of clapping.
