A UK forum is encouraging a desperate parent of a trans identified male to seek out DIY hormones, without consulting health care professionals, how is this dangerous advice legal?

OP "If anyone could help me to understand, I would be extremely grateful. I just want my daughter to be alive and happy in her own skin as much as possible ."

Responses: "diy is reliable and safe, there are communities that will be able to help, and really all it is getting a blood test every now and then to check how low or high a couple numbers are and adjusting accordingly."

How is this even slightly legal? The pro anorexia sites were shut down right? The pro suicide?

What would that be? Expecting females to be the service humans to males and to defer to them at all times? To obey men and to do as they say even if it's at the expense of women?

Which one of bewildernesses rules do you differ on?

I tend not to boil everything down to male vs female. Every single person has a different upbringing and was socialised differently, so I wouldn’t venture to speculate on her behaviour.

Yeah because I wasn’t being sarcastic at all (/s for the slow ones)

Honestly given the sheer amount of denial going on about sex being the same as gender and women always being in the wrong about what makes them a woman...

Nice luxury that.

I tend to curse my sex when trying to reach the top shelf in the supermarket rather than blame my inability to reach the top shelf on my socialisation because the whole world is designed for default human aka men...

Do you think I would get the same answer from the women on this thread as to whether that behaviour passes as female?

What do we have in common?

How are we 'punching down'? Genuine question. This makes no sense.

That much is true.

It’s not a luxury. I just don’t make lazy generalisations about people I know nothing about.

I’m with you on the top shelf thing. It’s incredibly frustrating they were only designed with the average height of men in mind.

Why don’t you tell me how you perceive the behaviour and why you think it’s male coded?

That irony klaxon just went off again. It's going to break if we aren't careful.

We’re 3 pages on and I’m still waiting for an explanation of what it is that all women and all transwomen have in common which isn’t shared with any men?

I took a seat 10 years ago waiting on the answer to that question.

Please tell me where I’ve generalised? What do you object to?

what it is that all women and all transwomen have in common which isn’t shared with any men?

Or shared not only with men but with cats even, as we share 90% of our DNA with cats? 🐈‍⬛

I know! I know!

The irony wasnt in the generalisation. Which you are well aware of.

Well yes, but I’m always optimistic!

Also waiting for the explanation of how anyone who isn’t female can determine that how they feel must be ‘feeling female’ How does that even feel? I’ve never met a woman who can describe it, but….. v happy to hear an explanation

100%

Been waiting a loooooooooooong time.

You are waiting for yet more mansplaining?

You are a glutton for punishment.

Men can't feel like women because they aren't women. They can only feel what they imagine it's like to be a woman. It's larping.

There isn't an explanation that gets round this problem.

I'd modify this a bit and say that the "cis male" establishment here has to a great extent happily colluded in the trans invasion of women's spaces because transactivism is no skin off the patriarchy's nose and tends if anything to undermine women's sex-based rights. Which suits the "cis male" establishment very well.

Vintage jerk: I'm the answer to a maidens prayer! Let me f*ck you.
Vintage woman: No thank you.
Vintage jerk: Uptight! Frigid! Lesbian!

Modern jerk: I'm a lesbian too! Let me f*ck you.
Modern lesbian: No thank you.
Modern jerk: Bigot! Sexual racist! Genital fetishist!

It's all the same: men must be given what they want.The only thing that changes is the fashion in manipulative tactics and accusations.

You really can't see it? Shouting over women and demanding stuff of them?

Cis men aren’t exactly know for treating trans women very well

I've just caught up on the last few pages, and my goodness it's so obvious which two posters are the men!

They really don't like being told NO by women. So fucking predictable.

No you are not welcome in women's single sex spaces and the UK law confirms this.

Continuing to enter is predatory behaviour. Women don't want you there. You have no legal or moral right to be there. Throwing mantrums and calling women names doesn't change the fact.
