  • See https://lemmy.today/post/61872970 for hexbear swallowing this uncritically. Also on other social media

    The speech mentioned in the link was an announcement and had no policy changes

    https://www.ukpol.co.uk/steve-barclay-2023-speech-to-conservative-party-conference/

    It did not limit trans patients to only single rooms. Here’s what he actually said

    To deliver the long-term change the NHS needs, we need a relentless focus on patient outcomes and that means prioritising frontline resources.

    It does not mean spending huge sums of taxpayer’s money on diversity consultants or hiring bloated internal diversity and inclusion teams.

    And it does not mean ignoring patient’s voices – especially women’s voices when it comes to the importance of biological sex in healthcare.

    If we do not get this right now, the long-term consequences could be very serious for the protection of women and future generations.

    And Conference, I know as Conservatives, we know what a woman is and I know the vast majority of hardworking NHS staff and patients do too.

    That is why I ordered a reversal of unacceptable changes to the NHS website that erased references to women for conditions such as cervical cancer and stopped the NHS from ordering staff to declare pronouns to each new patient.

    And that is why today, I am going further; by announcing that we will change the NHS constitution following a consultation later this year to make sure we respect the privacy, dignity and safety of all patients recognise the importance of different biological needs and protect the rights of women.

    Now, Conference, if all of that seems like simple common sense, that’s because it is.

    Reporting at the time was terrible

    Headline correctly says ‘Trans women may be banned from women’s NHS wards’, and subheadline incorrectly states ‘Transgender people may be banned from single-sex hospital wards under plans to restore “common sense” in the NHS, the health secretary says.’





  • AI clarification

    Chromosomes are the instructions, not the definition.

    Someone with Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) is still male because their body is organized toward the male developmental path. An extra chromosome doesn’t create a third gamete, and since sex is defined by anisogamy, it cannot create a third sex. A chromosomal variation is just a glitch in the instructions, not a new biological category.

    Source backing that up

    https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/klinefelters-syndrome/

    Boys and men with Klinefelter syndrome are still genetically male, and often will not realise they have this extra chromosome, but occasionally it can cause problems that may require treatment.

    People often have strong opinions and/or inexperience on topics like this. I think it’s good to examine AI responses as a summary of something that’s ingested the entire internet, getting everyone on the same page and enabling interesting critical analysis.











  • It was banned with a bunch of other pedophilic subreddits (spez calling them all “animated CP”). Here’s someone complaining about it at the time

    For fucks sales I thought I was blessed when I found Reddit Loli community, I’ve spent far to much time on the darker parts of the web to find that stuff, and far to often its thrown in with material that none of us a r/lolicons or r/pomf ever wanted, the real disgusting vile poo poo. it was safe here. Had it been a quarantine I would have understood, We get it out fetish is creepy as gently caress! But we were not hurting anyone. I mean those were probably two of my favorite communities because we understood one another, no one got harassed or attacked like on 4chan or 8chan, were weren’t being flooded with referral links to actual CP by robot spammers, it didn’t feel like some dark alley where I had to do shady deals for a fix, for once were safe and I didn’t feel ashamed, I didn’t hate myself, And you took it away because you don’t like it! That’s your only reason, you clumped us together with a bunch of racist, hate mongering assholes because you found our fetish morally objectionable. And don’t act like your doing some great deed by getting rid of it, it still exists, you’ve just forced us back to the places where were going to abused and harassed to find it, you’re helping no one, your just hurting us, me and my fellow lolis. You’ve left us to fend for ourselves against a horde of trolls. I’ll never leave reddit, I’ve invested to much, but as a company I’ve lost all faith in you, your saving face, not your community. [EDIT] fixed auto correct mistake and added a sentence for clarification

    Stop defending Drew DeVault’s pedophilia.

    Read it, instead of wasting time defending a pedophile.

    You’re literally doing the same thing MAGAts do.

    Trump is opting not to validate accusations made by bad faith actors. Neither of us knows.

    We do know that the liberal media is full of scum and filth that would likely make asinine accusations for the lawls

    ☝️You, literally right now

    You’re entitled to put your head in the sand.

    If anyone else is actually curious, spend a few minutes reading Drew’s response. Lots of words apologizing over a minor detail. Zero response to the facts of his pedophilia. Just read his words. Classic shitbag strategy.

    He wrote that response so that people like you can defend his pedophilia in exactly the way you’re doing now.

    His rebuttal curiously doesn’t dispute the facts of his pedophilia. It’s included in a blanket denial and then ignored.

    Are you claiming those pedophilic accounts aren’t his? Why?

    And he did more than “deny” his involvement in the report

    Speaking as someone who has done a lot of my own research on Stallman’s bullshit, the depth of this report is astonishing.

    That was his report. He can’t be trusted and will openly make bald-faced lies. He’s full of shit and best left in the dustbin of history.
