I believe there’s somewhat of an internal rift between The Guardian UK and The Guardian US with the US publication being more progressive on Trans issues.

…of course people in the US still shouldn’t talk to Journalists, as plenty of right-wing organisations pretend to be journalists in order to produce “gotcha” content and misinformation.

This is new to me. I always viewed journos as standing on the side of truth and democracy.

Just start bulldozing them and only talk about DIY home projects. “OMG you should see our new deck. Steve wants to stain it but I really like the bare look.”

my ass would be so passive aggressive about it’s not even funny. I would completely derail it and talk about entirely irrelevant shit.

“DIY HRT? Yeah no i think linux is a pretty conceptually good system, has a couple issues, but such is life i suppose.”

Or i would just say nothing, and stand there.

I’m also joining the group coming here from All, I’ve never heard of this, but just wanted to chime in and say I’m sorry some of you have to DYI your own healthcare because the system is failing you, please be safe and healthy.

Unfortunately it’s an ancient tradition. Transitioning is like abortion in that people will find a way if desperate enough even if that way is life threatening.

I think maybe we need to acknowledge this more.

Exactly. This is the only argument needed to support treatments and drugs. If a person wants to do it (a choice made with a sufficiently healthy mind), we should provide safety. Euthanasia, abortion, hormones, etc. We shouldn’t care about further views.
