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?

[SingleSexSpacesInSchools]

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?

Shame the SC doesn't think so

@onepostwonder you are always rude and resort to insults cos you know the arguments you and your fellow posters who identify as women are rubbish. You'd all be perfectly safe in the men's loos
You are offensive - if you and your 'friends' were serious about identifying as women you'd try for more solidarity, more empathy, more understanding. But no- just shout 'terf' or 'right-wing' at us
You'll never be women
You don't have vaginas
And yes this is my belief so I'll save you the trouble of saying it.
Just happens to be truth
And please stick to your name ffs

Trans women do not violate womens spaces.

I don’t believe that you should be able to change official documents to alter reality. If you want to have a new document produced that uses ‘Gender’ instead of sex then go for it. Or gave your own copy that you can frame and put on the wall go for it, but no, I don’t think you should be able to falsify official documentation. Be proudly trans, don’t try and deceive others about your sex.

i don’t give a shit what hormones you use or what you do surgically as an adult. The only caveat should be that anyone receiving what you call trans healthcare should have to acknowledge that they understand that they are not and cannot change sex and that they cannot access single sex spaces or use services or take opportunities intended for the opposite sex. Children should not have their puberty blocked nor given cross sex hormones.

Trans people are not the only group who struggle to access treatment that they want. I have no ability to demand specific treatment or tests from the NHS. Young women regularly get refused elective hysterectomy or breast reduction. I am currently waiting on a referral appointment to come through after adverse blood work last year that indicated that I could have a female only cancer. Lots of people would like weight loss jabs on the NHS to improve not only their physical health but also their mental health but they can’t get it. There are huge backlogs for mental health services. We should explore all possible options including talking therapies (that gender delusion want to smear as conversion therapy) before anyone undergoes any medical interventions for gender issues. Michael Kerr’s story as well as Ritchie Herron and Keira Bell show the dangers of the current validation approach.

I have no idea whether @ATranssexualWoman, @TiredOfYourLies or @onepostwonder pass all of the time, some of the time or none of the time as they are just randoms on the internet. I cannot be arsed to engage with their idea that they have somehow jumped into a definition of woman that ignores the requirement of a body constructed around the production of large gamates. What does amuse me is their willingness to throw 90% of their sisters brothers under the bus to claim their special entitlement to womanhood.

I can only refer to the cases in my locality. Was Tiffany Scott an oppressor or one of the oppressed?

I believe that that was the only Scot named on the list for Transgender Day of Remembrance. Before anyone asks, the reason that Scott's name comes to my mind is that that particular person lived in the adjacent village, while he was still called Andrew Burns.

Gender delulus not understanding words is a real thing

They are men in women's spaces

It's violation

Men in women's spaces violate those spaces. Of course they do. Enough of the gaslighting, we can all see right through your predatory behaviour.

Thankfully your beliefs are held by a small number of people and your characterisations of trans people are so outlandish to be laughable. The rest of us live in the real world.

This is nonsense. You know that. Why are you lying about it?

And that is literally all the gender fantasists have. Meaningless words.

In the real world everyone knows that men can't become women and men who think they should have access to women's spaces (contrary to the law) are predators

I wasn't discussing smoking. I hope that helps?

And surgery. Of a kind that no woman would ever need.

We live in an evolving world. Exciting, right?

How often to gender delulus boringly try to talk over women, don’t listen to women and ignore women’ boundaries? All the damn time.

Women's rights to single sex spaces have not 'evolved' 🙄

Their behaviour is exactly the same as incels. Tedious beyond words 🙄

You will have your beliefs. Your relatives and offspring will be ashamed of those beliefs. I'm sorry you were ensnared by whatever forces you to obsess over those of us who change sex. I hope you live a good life.

Christ on a bike! Quit with the hyberbolic bullshit. Respect women! Be a proud trans identifying man and stop appropriating our shit!

No one changes sex. Fact, not belief

You said

"Based on the numbers of doses consumed worldwide, sex hormones are much safer than other prescribed medications. They are even sold over the counter in many countries as any other self-administered remedy."

Loads of people smoked and self administer cigarettes. So based on the number of doses consumed worldwide, smoking must be safe, right?

If you want to exclude trans women, then define and advertise your collective space as trans woman free.

Gender delulus refusing to accept material reality
