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?

Shouting? Really? That’s a tad dramatic when it’s an online forum. Who has demanded anything? Disagreement and debate is not demanding anything

Scotland too!

Ah thanks for clarifying. I should have known that : )

It wis us that feckin sorted it for yees aw!

I know, sorry I've amended the original post! x

Who has demanded anything?
Are you for real?
You and your friend are demanding access to women's stuff and the word woman itself.
We say no.

You are a man, you are part of the oppressor class.

And as I have already said, you’re completely free to your opinion and I respect that. I’ve never demanded or told anyone how they should describe or refer to me.

You’re entitled to call me a man and I’m entitled to say I’m not one.

Bollocks. You are not a woman, you try and appropriate the reality of being female. How dare you tell a feminist on this board that they are the ones causing harm to women’s rights.

And your new friend's behaviour? Do you recognise that description in them?

Wrong answer. No adult male belongs in female spaces. You are NOT a woman.

Stay out of women’s spaces. You are a male and don’t belong. Stop

In a typical male narcissist way he doesn't think women's rights exist other than to centre men like him.

The fucking cheek of it.

Yes you are, you know that very well in the core of your being that you are male in every single cell of your DNA. Keep out of female spaces.

Yes cos a bloke who wants to appropriate the female experience couldn’t possibly be reasonable when it comes down to respecting women’s rights to SINGLE SEX SPACES. You know you have not changed sex as that is not possible so you know that you don’t belong in female single sex spaces.

You have never been and never will be a woman. No operation can change your sex.

…but you are not a woman….

Just because we’re both trans, it doesn’t instantly make us friends lol. And yes I do see the way they carried themself in this conversation. I didn’t like how they came here and tried to tell you why you’re not feminists and that you’re assisting the far right.

I think there is room for respectful discussion and disagreement

This makes out there's equal entitlement here.

It's a nice trick but what you dont point out is it's not just about words. It's also about deeds.

You have said you will continue to use female only facilities - this pushing out some women and removing the privacy and dignity of others. Women don't have anywhere else to go en mass.

As a single male you can easily remove yourself from this conflict point, maintain your privacy and dignity in doing so and not shit on women.

The entitlement is entrenched in this point together with your insistence that the material reality of sex - which offers you your own protections as trans and can't be ignored by doctors - is irrelevant and that sex is the same as gender.

Women are not demanding anything. They just want to be free of men dominating them everywhere. Single sex spaces came from the desire to escape male dominance and dictatorship as well as from safety and privacy reasons.

Now that's been bulldozed as not important - by men.

There's no equality in this entitlement in the way you try and make out. You try and frame it as reasonable but the point you miss is the most important one of all - women being allowed to advocate for themselves by themselves.

😂😂😂

we don’t need altered documentation to be women. We don’t need any operations to be women. We don’t need to take cross sex hormones to be women.

ADULT. HUMAN. FEMALE.

Sure, dude.

😂😂😂😂
It’s not a judge that determines that you’re a bloke. That was determined at your conception and nothing you do to yourself will ever change that fact.

Keep telling yourself that, mate.

Operation Let Them Speak in action. Every time you post you prove yourself to be untrustworthy and selfish.

In what way are you being discriminated against? Are you being sacked from your job for being trans? Denied housing? Being told that you cannot using single sex spaces of the opposite sex is not illegal discrimination you silly sausage.
