Same with childbirth, aparrently.

These patches are also used for hormonal transition, and we trans girls DEFINITELY don't want Seymour going anywhere near our healthcare.

If it's options we want, we actually want more than just patches 🤷♀️

So no. No. Too much has been won, and too much has been lost - to allow it to happen here, to not make every single millimetre the bigoted toxic anti trans right wing try to seize as fucking difficult and as miserable as possible for them to encroach on.

The name was changed between SA and UK for to avoid conflict, yes, but it was the original inventors moving on after they had sold their SA business. They basically did a small tour of the world selling their idea to as many different places as possible.

Fun history here: they were both originally the same. The original inventors first launched in AU, then NZ, South Africa, the UK, then the US, selling it to different local companies each time.

Wouldn't FFS and BA would interfere with your ability to dilate?

Funny how Greens rose twice as much as NZF but aren't mentioned in the title 🤷♀️

It's pretty hard to pip Labour themselves for that particular honour.

I did! That last episode was incredible.
I personally took that line as very tongue in cheek. Completely sarcastic. That is, because the FAA prevents pilots from ever seeking diagnoses, we don't actually know they have nothing wrong with them at all? Is that how you took it?

In the US? Pretty much anything can disqualify you. Talking to a therapist can disqualify you. So out of fear they'll lose their licence, most pilots leave everything unexamined, which is, you know, much much worse.

Generally, trans kids would rather go through *the correct puberty* in high school with their peers. It's parents and doctors that want blockers to give them more time to come to terms with it.

Completely forgetting, as usual, that once you're elected it's literally your job to serve ALL your constituents, not just the ones who voted for you. You're elected for your problem solving *methods*, not for who you will serve and who you won't.

Yeah, I think domain name verification in Bsky is a great system IF you solve the domain name verification system of the internet as a whole, but as we haven't done the latter, the former is close to useless outside of maybe big brands (and even then).

It's trivial to stand up a static cache or even proxy for the website you're trying to impersonate that would pass cursory inspection. So I agree that this is very 1990s-feeling in its naeivity (not criticising you, just commenting on the corruption of the internet over the last two decades).

Even if he has his own domain name, how am I meant to know that @keanureeves.com is legit and @keanucreeves.com isn't, or vice versa?
comment in response to

Domain name verification only works well for identity when the domain name is recognisable without further manual research. No one knows who is agent is, and very few know that he owns a motorcycle company and what it's called.

This is utterly unconscionable

This is a yes and, not a no but.

Yeah, that's definitely the primary connection. It's just a very specific kind of makeup – it looks like charcoal – so seeing that the whole campaign is about their unique spelling point of having charcoal in their filter I'm almost certain the marketing company was trying to be clever.

I imagine the idea came from the charcoal filter? Charcoal under the eye to make a black eye, tying in with two aspects of the campaign at once.

Even simpler (but maybe only to my brain) the side with the smaller number is smaller and the side with the bigger number is bigger?

When you have millions of dollars of net worth, income is just bonus money. All taxes are doing to you at that point is taxing a little off the bonus money you could never spend in the first place.
Taxes at that net worth are in no way the same thing as taxes to anyone living off their paycheck.

That must make for a confusing and unpredictable experience. I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm glad to hear the last, and sorry to hear the rest. Thank you.

I didn't see it until I read your comment BUT my brain was recognising there was some kind of bad shape there and it was rebelling against it hard.

So much in this world can be attributed to "I know you better than you know yourself".

Today I learned that they're not free in Australia. How does it work over there? In NZ there's generally a few fully subsidised options for each mainstream prescription medicine. We only pay a $5 script fee at the pharmary (which was free for a moment but our latest government brought it back).

Greens literally just released an amazing budget. This is not your mom's activist party. They're ready to lead, like let's go!
