Really excellent video by Ok2BeFat about the harms of medicalization, particularly transmedicalism, medicalization of fatness, and gatekeeping
another day, another white leftist complaining that feeding the community and abolishing the prison industrial complex isn't revolutionary enough and therefore must wait on the backburner until we achieve totally idyllic utopia
funny how only the things that impact BIPOC the hardest, esp Black people, have to always be on the back burner

People with ADHD see time differently. For many of us, upcoming events and tasks don't feel real unless they're within the next week, or two.
Then, once they're over, events and task combine into a puddle of "a couple days ago" before completely disappearing from memory

Trans, Gender Recognition Act (minor +, mention of -)
Amongst the news about the medical director for THT potentially playing a part in the scrapping of the planned GRA reforms there has also been a teeny bit of good news today
NI High Court found that the requirement to provide a gender dysphoria diagnosis under the GRA is unlawful and contravenes the ECHR and so there need to be a review of this requirement.
However, the same court also ruled that the provision of medical reports is "proportionate" to the aims of the GRA.
Realistically, I don't think this would actually change anything significantly without having to throw ourselves at ANOTHER mass movement for reform - since we'd likely still be beholden to the GIC system in the provision of those reports, so it would just amount to one less piece of paper.
But that said, it's a tiny step in the right direction. We're not being consistently thrown out, and there is hope of change through small baby steps and challenges like this.

esp when those people they keep coming after are BIPOC professionals. their parents didnt teach them manners but they did teach them how to harass, bully, and discredit anyone browner than they are. whew.
had my first interaction with a wild gen z (read: white terminally online teenager) online and gleaned a lot from a single statement. "Mind my business? This is social media."
i know i bitch and complain about being tossed into cotillion and "social skills" classes as a kid because they are inherently classist and ableist and racist but these wild ass white children need to be taught how to behave. "you put this online so now your entire life is my business" is a hell of a way to try and interact with people.
