EDIT: I see that the “fediverse” link for posts has been removed. I posted this to lemmy.ml from a lemmy.world account and there’s no way for me to get the lemmy.ml link now. And when I crosspost it it shows a lemmy.world link instead of the lemmy.ml one. I think this should be changed [back].

That’s how it’s always worked??? The fediverse button goes to the canonical source, which is the post on the poster’s instance. The button doesn’t show up because you’re already looking at the source.

I’ve said this before and I doubt it will be the last, but this ban is not about child safety. It’s about reducing the number of trans kids because they’re a political inconvenience to a slice of the establishment. If it was about how unsafe they are, it wouldn’t only be for kids experiencing gender dysphoria/incongruence. The ban would extend to intersex adolescents:

However, [Streeting] overlooks the fact that this ban does not include teenage patients with a difference of sex development (DSD), more commonly known as intersex. These individuals are prescribed puberty-blocking medication when they unexpectedly commence a puberty that is at odds with their gender identity. DSD patients are taking the medication for much the same reason as transgender patients – ie the puberty they are undergoing is causing distress, and pressing pause will probably manage that distress and minimise harm while a continuing care plan is developed. If we follow Streeting’s logic, the medication would also be banned for this patient cohort.

Thanks for your work.

I’m using the nightly from the F-Droid repo and trying to download an image crashes the app.

“We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.”

Mr Maugham said the review considered “current and former” Gender Identity Development Service patients, while his figures were directed to the larger group of “those on the waiting list”.

The DHSC has insisted that patients on waiting lists were included in the review as well.

They literally didn’t, from the review:

I have examined the figures provided by NHSE on deaths in each year between 2018-19 and 2023-24. They are based on an internal audit by the Tavistock of deaths among current and former GIDS patients

There was some discussion of this in one of the admin chats and this seems to be a Hetzner issue. You’re post on SDF has the correct metadata. Also compare my post here on feddit.uk (Hetzner) to this one here (Linode).

So our prisons are so overfilled that we’re letting some people out early, but we have space for this?

Sure, if he’s elected then Vance is someone Lammy will likely have to work with. He didn’t have to announce that he had so much in common with an ethnonationalist before he’s even been elected though.

Most of the support staff is their customers and users actually.

It’s not users that process refund request, recover your account if e.g. you’ve lost your 2FA method, or any of the other innumerable things you might need to contact Steam support for. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to include the staff that do this as part of their workforce.

This number doesn’t seem to include support staff who iirc are contract workers so might not count as “employees”.
