This is why private hospitals shouldn't exist and religious organizations should be tightly regulated and required to offer the current standard of care regardless of how their imaginary friends feel about that standard of care.

the wording of the study title is better than the wording of the post title, just FYI. Those first 4 words were a rollercoaster

Most participants (72.3%) reported high levels of gender euphoria, meaning positive feelings and experiences around gender identity, expression, or affirmation. Non-binary people reported the highest levels of gender euphoria (74%), followed by trans men (71%) and trans women (68%).

Seems the only real increases was in sexual satisfaction. So keep fucking enjoying it, and get yourselves tested for STI's!

It's sounds like a synopsis for a court themed Sesame Street episode.

Not familiar with this case. Good for tickle, but oh my God it was too early in the morning to comprehend this sentence out of context: "The High Court also ordered Grover and Giggle to pay Tickle’s legal costs."

Great news to start the day with. Happy for the Australians.

When someone lobs a softball at you with a title like that, how could you not swing at it? 😂

Yes yes! I had to make sure this was posted.

You know, I don't think I own anything purple. Mind you, I also rarely leave the house.

Trans rights are under attack

Human rights are under attack

I'm not on your side of the world but solidarity forever. Shut this shit down.

Sadly they exist all over the world.

We generally call them TERFs (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) but a more apt-term I've been seeing (and using) lately is FART (Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobe)

Oh, you also have this kind of "feminist" in Australia. In France we have this one: Alice Cordier.

Nice !

I've said it before and I'll say it again, in the words of Nelson Muntz, HA-HA!

Incrediblé 🙃

I think you missed the first '.

This is extremely disappointing to see. TERFs now have complete control of the Sydney Mardi Gras.

This event needs to be boycott going forward, and a more inclusive celebration started to replace it.

I'm fine with kiwi representation!

As a disclaimer I am not trans, but have a trans nephew that lives in NZ. They do ship to Australia, but if you're looking for only Australia based stores then feel free to delete this comment. Here is the store https://www.arohapride.com/ looks like it's accessories mostly.

Sounds like a cult, grooming someone to their side.

Sal Grover is an example of the indoctrination process the TERF movement has perfected.

Giggle, when it was first released, allowed trans women, but it also used an automated facial recognition system to decide who was a woman and who wasn't. There was quite a bit of pushback about that, especially with the fact that the system was far from perfect, and excluded many women, particularly trans women. They put in a process to manually approve signups from people who were rejected by the facial recognition system, but that was slow and more invasive of people's privacy.

Sal Grover at this point, doubled down on the facial recognition aspect, and the pushback against it also increased.

And then the TERFs came in. They told Grover that she was doing the right thing with her facial recognition system, and the fact it was screwing over trans women didn't matter. And the next thing you know, Grover just bans trans women from the app, and starts actively spouting TERF transphobic talking points, and over the next few years becomes an important figure in TERF circles in Australia...

We must remove some protections from transgender people now so that later we can remove protections from everybody.

LMEB are trans owned and operated. I go to them for all my laser, and their prices are as cheap as they can go to help support fellow trans people.

If you're looking for electrolysis, laser, etc. I highly recommend checking if they have a branch in your city (or you could talk to Liv and start your own?)
