I agree with with it being between doctors and patients based on the medical consensus.
Tho that’s kinda the opposite of your original comment, which seemed to suggest it should be determined by politicians. Or at least implied that politicians are basing their laws on the medical consensus, which isn’t always true especially with topics like trans rights that have been overly politicized and then demonized as a moral failing.
What do you think is the reason several countries are putting the brakes on certain gender affirming care under a certain age?
That’s a part of the Constitution itself, Article II, Section I, Clause I

19.4% The percentage of Ukrainian land occupied by Russia, according to the Institute for the Study of War. Over the past year, Russia has gained just 0.79% of Ukraine’s territory in the grinding war of attrition, the Washington-based think tank said in calculations provided earlier this month to The Associated Press, underscoring the little progress Moscow’s forces have made despite huge costs in troops and armor.
Their kingdom is still defending itself incredibly well against the larger nation after four years, with Russia taking extremely heavy loses with no clear sign of victory on either side. The recent fighting has gained barely any ground at all for Russia
What do you think the solution to that problem is?
Yup, I made a bad generalization. My bad, and to be clear I’m not a doctor or anything.
Some SSRIs may have an interaction with grapefruit. But grapefruit interacts with different medications differently, and it’s not based on the class of medication, it’s med specific.
e.g. Sertraline (Zoloft) is an SSRI and is listed as having an interaction with grapefruit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit–drug_interactions
Eta: thanks for calling that out, I’ve learned some interesting things, for example;
Ketamine: After drinking 200 mL of grapefruit juice daily for five days, the overall absorption of orally ingested ketamine was increased three-fold compared to the control group in a clinical trial. The peak blood ketamine concentration was increased over two-fold.
No grapefruit while taking ssri medication
edit: sorry, this is a bit misleading and an oversimplification
“Male penguins may exhibit homosexual behavior. However, as the author, I would like to make it clear I would NEVER have gay sex with a male penguin. That’s gross. I would only ever have sex with a woman penguin, as Putin would want.”
It’s not exactly the same but the Clicks phone keyboard is touch sensitive so you can swipe on the keyboard, and the button on the side has a notification LED
Well not overnight obviously, I’m sure it has to go through a board of directors and have a vote for it. My comment may have come off a bit more flippant then intended tbh. But I’m not aware of any legal reason they can’t go that route though, but I’m not in the UK so ¯\(ツ)/¯
I did find this, which I think is relevant. https://the-icm.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/CC363.pdf
What legal reasons? They’re not legally bound to only accept cis women, its just one of their own rules. They don’t have to go through the courts, they can change their bylaws to include trans women. Or whatever verbiage they need.
Unless I’m missing something, they have no legal obligation to keep the same bylaws as an organization. Then there’s no basis for a terf to sue.
ETA: whoop, missed this part of the article apparently;
Green said the organisation wanted trans women to remain “part of the WI family” and that from April it would launch new “sisterhood groups”, open to all, which would be “a place where we will recognise transgender women as women and explore what it is to be a woman in the 21st century."
So if that’s possible, then it seems absurd that the main organization could be at risk of legal action
Kinda, but the big difference is being a man is an identity and not a choice, while being a cop is entirely an intentional choice.
So we should be empathetic to the perspective and struggles of women while trying not to demonize men as an identity.

That Richard Stallman?
(I know he has since changed his views, the ‘allergic to PR’ part just seemed to be a bit of an understatement. Not trying to start an argument, just thought that was funny)
Your neighbor says women wearing dresses isn’t transphobic, but not respecting pronouns is?
I think you’re just chronically online. Just say female if you’re in a conversation and want to exclude trans women. Most trans people won’t care as long if the context isn’t transphobic. I really don’t see why it’s unacceptable to have an adjective if you’re describing a subset of women. Like there’s not a singular noun for “tall men” but if you’re actually not being transphobic then whatever.
Again with sexual orientation, it sounds like you’re saying that because chronically online. There are people who say it’s transphobic to say straight but exlude trans people. Again, context and intent matters. You can just say straight. This one is tricker because not all trans people have surgically transitioned, genital preference matters, and orientation is a spectrum.
And it’s a tough subject within the trans community itself, because it’s frustrating to present as a gender, transition in every way to that gender, be accepted and pass for that gender, only for someone to say they aren’t attracted to you only after they find out you’re trans. What other conclusion would you have other than transphobia? And it doesn’t help that it often is accompanied by blatant transphobia.
So if someone is calling you transphobic, either the context is also transphobic or they’re misunderstanding your intent.
So we just need super smart authoritarian communist to lead a bloody revolution backed by the uneducated masses that will then be handed over peacefully to the uneducated masses once communism is firmly established?
I support communism, I want revolutionary change, and I’m an idealist. But I don’t understand how that’s realistically possible. Theoretically possible, but the number of complications that would arise, the number of variables that could go wrong and destroy the entire movement, how easy it would be to corrupt… It’s never happened before for a reason, and having violent, bloody revolutions every few decades in the hopes it finally works perfectly this time doesn’t seem constructive or intelligent to me. There has to be a better way to balance how fast the change happens and how fragile and volatile the system will be during the change
Congrats on the transition
