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.

"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

Are they wearing a duck t-shirt? How do I become as cool as them?

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

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".

Christ, that's fucked up.

Genuinely really sorry for this, I only had the edited version above. I wouldn't have posted it if I knew this was the original.

I'm helping with the Union Jack in the top left, but supper happy to see tankies maulding over the NATO flag.

Lol

What in the goddamn is a 'goofy slur'?

Corn dogs are battered though. A beef wellington is actually a posh sausage roll.

Cute.

A standalone VR headset from Valve has been rumoured for a while, maybe this for getting games targeted at Facebook's Quest to run.

'I wish I could kill the child Legionnaires'

How is it that every time we hear from the TERF in the high castle, she's somehow even more unhinged?

The only Muslim group mentioned is hardly left-wing:

Another decree targeted a group called Jonas Paris, which it said claims to support France’s Muslim community but instead promotes violence, hate and discrimination toward non-Muslims, women and LGBTQ+ people.

Also, the antisemitism talked about in the article is genuine hatred of Jewish people, not just anti-Israel rhetoric.

What groups from the left? The article doesn't mention any left-wing groups that were ordered to dissolve.

poastorg is run by neo Nazis?
