Saw On R/detrans That NHS England Is Setting Up A New Service For Detrans People! REALLY Happy To See

saw on r/detrans that NHS england is setting up a new service for detrans people! REALLY happy to see this.

People deserve the ability to give TRULY informed consent about their bodies and medical treatment! Allowing detrans people to come out of the shadows and share their experiences will help everyone with GD including those who choose to transition, because we'll have more data!

I remember years ago a dear friend of mine got on T and I scoured the internet looking for research to try find out how I could support him/what he could expect from side effects. The main thing I learned (especially from a zine survey created by transmasc people who were medically transitioning which I've linked here) is that the long-term impacts of being on HRT are WILDLY underresearched (especially for trans men).

I would argue that this fits into the larger underrepresentation of female bodies in medical studies (though I'm sure the authors would disagree with me)

"I question how useful informed consent models are when there is hardly any information to consent too" is certainly a sentiment many radfem and gc people on here can relate too. I genuinely respect people like this for doing the work for their communities and find it rlly fucked up that the medical establishment can make so much money off of them while working with data from sample sizes that were much snaller than this because they don't care enough to test it more.

It is kind of funny that every time there’s a poll made on here about how Radfems actually voted it’s like 90 percent Harris, 5 percent not US. It’s almost like they’re predominantly leftists but disagree with you guys on one thing (as many leftists do.)

… This book is so dumb in such obvious ways that it makes me think the people who keep recommending it to me didn’t actually read it.

I saw a vid of this girl talking about her complicated feelings about Botox that essentially boiled down to: 1. We don’t live in a vacuum, ageism is a thing, looking good means I get treated better and I should take advantage of that, but, 2. Me getting Botox reinforces beauty standards on other women, and even young girls.

And I just get so frustrated because this “nuance” was very well received, and it really feels like sooo many women are constantly choosing between “this is a way for ME to feel good/gain an advantage” and “this is what’s best for women as a collective” and the collective often loses. :/ I feel like a broken record but I really really want women to stop prioritizing “advantages” that ultimately hurt our gender as a class. There’s no way out with this framework.

Most Radfems and the like don’t respect DNIs- which I honestly think kind of sucks in its own way. You don’t owe me or anyone your time or attention and I’m not owed access to your blog. A DNI is a polite request to respect a boundary and you- the person reading this- your right to your own space and your own boundaries matters. Never let anyone make you believe the lines that you place don’t matter.

Sometimes I respond to posts on my for you out of habit though and don’t check blogs beforehand. If I break your DNI, I’m sorry especially if I do so in a way that triggers you. Please curate your online experiences as needed.

by the way if men seriously “can’t help it” and “can’t stop himself” from sex offending in literally any scenario, he should be put down like an uncontrollable animal

i learned that researchers historically have avoided using female animals in medical studies specifically so they don’t have to account for influences from hormonal cycles. This may explain why women often don’t respond to available medications or treatments in the same way as men do (x)

Mind, I’m bi, but mono-sexuality isn’t this mystical impossible to understand thing unless you insist your experiences of the world are universal. It’s actually really easy to believe someone likes one thing and dislikes another even if you enjoy both things.

The appeal to tradition is so funny- the amount of people who the past was good for is so small. "It's been around for ages" a lot of terrible shit has! Slavery wasn't a new invention, it existed for ages. Marital rape existed for ages. Dictatorships and monarchies existed for ages. The past is filled with hot garbage.
