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."

Full details here:

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

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?

Cigarettes aren't an over the counter remedy.

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

Thanks to the SC we can

People on HRT are not addicts. This is sex realist moralisation speaking in the efforts demanding the removal of all trans medical treatment.

This is gender delulu propaganda using hyperbole to try and emotionally manipulate

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.

A person's womanhood does not balance on whatever your belief of passing is or is not.

Trans men are men. Trans women are women.

So cigarettes can't be proved safe by saying that lots of people smoke them but cross sex hormones can be proved safe by saying lots of people take them

because......that's different?

Just like how gender critical people supported trans people, but only had this tiny small isolated issue with youth overmedicalisation and fairness in sport.

I am still stuck trying to understand how you jumped to cigarettes when I was discussing prescribed medications.

SlackJawedDisbeliefXY · 19/03/2026 23:02

Society evolves but up is still up and down is still down

The idea that any man should be allowed to self identify as 'excellent at woman-face' and so be allowed into women's spaces seems open to abuse

I've never seen a cigarette dispensed as a medical remedy over the counter. They've been restricted access as long as I've been alive.

Because you made the quite ludicrous claim that a lot of people taking something proved that it was safe.

The idea that less than 0.000001% of the planet will ever hear those words combined in that way and sort of understand what meaning they are attempting to convey gives me peace.

Happy to. It’s called single sex spaces and services. If a service is relying on single sec exemptions to provide a women’s only device then that is by definition exclusive of transwomen

Will TRAs and other gender delulus respect those spaces or will they continue to terrorise women and services for excluding men?

Public spaces are not mediated by individual whim.

Not public spaces.

Specifically single sex spaces. Do you deliberately misunderstand points or do you genuinely not understand?

For once a gender delulu gets it right. A woman’s ‘womanhood’ is based on being female.

It is a bad faith question that I will not answer in this environment because your meaning of 'care', 'women' and 'children' are loaded with non-standard context.

Edited to add: The answer I provide will be used to further produce bad faith responses.

It’s giving “won’t someone think of the children” energy

Don’t forget that at one time cigarettes were marketed as having health benefits and doctors were used in advertising materials.
