Thanks for reading the links, april 23 feels like a different lifetime ago to me now.
I'll be honest I'm probably going to leave this thread after this post as I'm losing the will to discuss it in the space I use for football chat and reading.
I just want to say the Cass Report is pretty...
I personally don't feel comfortable using the disabled toilets but not every space has a disabled toilet, this will affect business as well some like my own employer don't have a disabled toilet. As an aside most trans women sit so no issues there we will keep the seat down.
I don't doubt there will be something but how practical is it to tell everyone their business must have a 3rd space toilet if all they have is a gents and a womens and no real ability to install a thrid space. What are trans people to do then?
Also forgive me for not trusting the EHRC they have...
I mean a tomboy is different from someone feeling that something is wrong when they go through puberty like their body isn't there's and it doesn't fit. We don't see a tomboy and go they must be trans here's some drugs. The tomboy would have to go hang on I think I'm a boy to get any...
Yes height is a huge advantage but there are massively tall cis women who tower over men, same as there are men who tower over other men.
Getting a grc takes many years to gather enough evidence of living as your identified gender including changing your name, indeed I've heard tales of someone...
I used chess to show it can be a political decision rather than a fairness decision I was decidedly not covering all bases with that example.
So here's the thing HRT can actually make us shrink not in every case but some, it does cause massive changes in our bodies, our muscles mass will shrink...

I think my position here is going to be well regarded. Trump and Vance can go f*** themselves our laws are written in London not Washington.
Willing and funded. Including Wes Streeting and the labour party.

What trans people want is to not be outed by their official documentation, for their drivers licence and passports to have the F,M or X that they identify with and present as. Of course medical records should be accurate to what the needs and risks that a persons body is likely to face are, but...
I see it as a step on the road to forcing trans women back into mens bathrooms which will not be a safe place for us given it increases the risk of sexual assault. Now is any policy like that enforcable without serious breaches of privacy no, will that stop people taking matters into their own...
Well, I think as one of the few trans women on this board I should comment.
This will put members of my community in danger and it will cause harassment for gender non conforming women when they try to use the spaces they are legally entitled to use.
This will be the thin end of the wedge.
China was involved in WW2 both Nationalist and Communist forces suspended their civil war to fight the Japanese. Which is why first the RoC and then the PRC are on the security council.
This has so often been used to attack my community when its the American gun culture making it a necessity to enable kids to go to the toilet during an active shooter situation. I'm sick of it and I'm so annoyed that this particular line of attack is coming back.
God it really is a case of everything I don't like is communism for the Americans, they're transitioning to Mussolini's Italy rather than Stalin's Russia.
My last weigh (Wednesday) in came in at 78.2Kg not convinced I lost the weight in the healthiest way, depressions's a bitch, but its closer to where I wanted to be.
