Here, finally, is a non-ridiculous post about puberty blockers. Gender affirming surgery also gets a mention.
“From an ethical and a legal perspective, this is a benign medication,” Giordano says. She is puzzled by the extra scrutiny these treatments receive, considering their benefits and limited risks. “There are no sound clinical, ethical or legal reasons for denying them to those in need,” she says.

my dad has been speaking to a royalist in his street and when my dad said we should get rid of the monarchy this bloke said "who would you have in charge instead... a load of transgenders?" and im obsessed with the idea that you can either have a king or a council of trans people

The council of transgenders would be amazing though. Parliament having to justify every single new bill to an extended polycule living in a squat in Govanhill.

Tangential, but is “load” the correct collective noun for “transgenders”?
