when did that happen cus i recall him getting special treatment from the schoolI'm the wrong person to ask anything about that tbh, I really don't care for the source material and have always thought it was subpar, shitty fantasy schlock.
first years are not allowed to play quidich but he was made an exception
harry never faced actual discrimination
Lmao if truePotter was discriminated against for not being a "pure-blood" wizard which are the upper class witches and wizards, and muggle-born stole their wands and magic abilities according to the ministry of magic
why the fuck do you post things like thisTransphobes cant help themselves and are compelled to post weird pass agg shit in topics like these
Some people may not like telling people their name is Rumpelstiltskin when asked.Fun fact, you don't have to "go by" your legal name for anyone or anything beyond stuff like filling out your taxes.
What your name is legally doesn't matter except for paper work, people can still call you what you wantYep, and most of the time even for paper work you can use an alias instead of your "legal" name. People do this all the time.
Yes.That was BDSMKane
Missing post? Hm.Post #85?
videos like that lead to violence against trans people, fuck out of here@invertedlegdrop
I have them tagged, and the video was exactly what I thought it would be. I could only stomach half of it before I had to stop watching.^^ this
What is this supposed to be?predictably anti-LGBTQ+ hate speech knowing the user who shared it.
A fucking federal law proclaiming there's only two genders? Jeeeeezus this is sheer red meat for his fanbaseYeah he already previously committed to ending any recognition of trans people in the US and making it illegal for us to exist. They want to enact genocide.
DisciplineProbably the most disciplined person Ive ever met in the whole world is also one of the warmest, nicest, and a very wise person.

A lot of these end up making men turn into rigid, harsh and unlikable people even if they make good providers and protectors
Ive been waiting for a good chance to go in on this old gas bag.
The gas bag in question is Hilary Cass, titular leader of the four-year Cass Review into the UKs National Health Services treatment of trans kids at trans health clinic Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS). Cass was interviewed on Wednesday by Bostonian NPR branch WBUR News. I should clarify that I despise Hilary Cass for her ineptitude as a practitioner and the thoughtless damage shes done to thousands of trans kids, and I loath the Report her work produced because it is an unforgivable hack job not fit to be used as toilet paper that has still, somehow, become the shining beacon on the hill for every anti-trans journalist across the globe.
Appearing on WBURs On Point podcast with host Meghna Chakrabarti, Cass and her interviewer spend about an hour misgendering trans kids (for a laugh, I guess), and thats still not the most annoying thing about the interview. Truthfully, I dont think I could easily rank how annoying the obnoxious crap that comes out of Casss yapper is, so Ill just sort of go through the interview in chronological order and point out the various things that make it clear the good doctor is actually a bumbling buffoon.
To start, after talking a bunch of shit about whether or not puberty blockers maybe might not sort of possibly be unsafe for kidsshe admits theyre fine for cisgender kids, but of course we must draw the line at trans kidsCass says, the more we can let young people go through their typical puberty the more likely it is that they will make the best possible decision.
A statement so flatly ignorant and inflammatory that I had to go scream into a pillow for half an hour before I could continue reading. Lovely. As Ive explained recently to another churlish weasel, blockers are a typical part of gender-affirming care, and the vast majority of medical authorities agree that its the best course of treatment for trans youth. A highly credible study presented at a 2021 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference & Exhibition found a 60% decrease in moderate and severe depression and 73% decrease in suicidality among transgender and non-binary youth who received puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones over a 12-month period.
Next, Cass and Chakrabarti refer to young transmasc or non-binary people as adolescent girls, and discuss why theres been such a significant rise in this particular group identifying as trans over the last few years. Rather than any of the typical reasons that people seen as girls might receive medical attention on a different timetable than their male peers, Cass suggests that early exposure to pornography might be to blame.
I dont know what possible link any normal-brained person could draw between exposure to pornography and self-identification of ones gender, unless perhaps you preemptively view transgender people through a sexualized slant, like some sort of annoying loser who should stop talking and thinking about trans people forever.
Later on Cass accuses WPATH and their cohorts of producing guidelines that, to paraphrase, feed into one another in a circular way. She praises the Nordic studies of working from a clean slate, specifically Finnish and Swedish studies, both of which have serious problems: The Finnish gender clinic from which their study was conducted has been accused by parents of psychologically torturing children and asking them deeply inappropriate questions, while the author of the venerated Swedish study has been speaking out against transphobic misinterpretation of it for years.
Near the end of the interview, Hilary Cass advises trans children and their families to keep your options open, and that its not as urgent as it feels. Classic patronizing slop from somebody who has absolutely no idea what theyre talking about. Because of Cass vile, shoddy Report, trans youth in the UK dont have any options anymore.
Prior to heading the Review, Hilary Cass had absolutely no clinical experience with transgender youth. Unlike her, I know all about trans kids. I was a trans kid, I know trans adults who used to be trans kids, Ive met trans kids. Im not a doctor, and I cant speak to the individualized needs of every single trans youth in the world, but what I can tell you is that we knowhave known for quite a long time, nowthat gender-affirming care works. It greatly improves lives, and sometimes it may even save them.
I dont know how these children and their families will move forward, denied the right to express who they are and receive adequate treatment from doctors who should give a shit about them. But I do know that Hilary Cass has been instrumental in worsening their suffering, and I can only hope that decent journalists deny her the opportunity to spread her callous, uninformed bullshit.
The author mentions several times she was into hippie sex commune shit. She's not saying, like, socialized healthcare isn't compatible with motherhood.Conservatives do that stuff too, they just call it swinging instead
are you saying that the writer of the article was correct in that you can't embrace liberal ideology and be a mother at the same time?That user is how shall I say anti-liberal
"for me, becoming a mum meant giving up on a great deal of the liberal ideology Id embraced when younger because it was impossible to square with the embodied reality of caring for a baby. "These people seem to have only the barest of paper thin understanding of anything and just lick it and stick it on whatever narrative they want
stopped reading right there because this is a load of horseshit. you don't need to "give up" any liberal ideology in order to raise a child, what the fuck?
Lmfao no, im not going to change her statement so that it now becomes ok.Didnt make a comparison to being enslaved. Keep grasping those straws.
Im going to call it out for being made in the state that it is.
Ah yes, a black man being uncomfortable about slavery comparisons is "sealioning".
Gooood lord lmao
Strawman?Youre grasping at straws and still have nothing to contribute, particularly if you dont want to recognize intersectionality or otherwise deny we should be learning from history.
Theres no strawman. You compared your being questioned in this topic to someone questioning an actual holocaust victim or victim of slavery. You did that in this topic.
It has nothing to do with attacking your character. Maybe just dont do that? Thats incredibly tone deaf. We all make bad posts sometimes.
Another spin!What is a bad comparison? Your baseless strawman that you are attempting to attribute to me in a misguided attack on my character?
This one is the worst one yet. It actually has multiple spins.
It was a bad comparison, and the person she was responding to never said her existence should be made illegal.
what does attacking someones race or sex have to do with any of itHow is that an attack on you being white or male?
So you just completely dodged the question then.Wtf are you talking about, do you have a point to make that isnt disingenuous bad faith trolling? I didnt do anything that could even be interpreted that way, and never compared my struggle for basic human rights to being enslaved. You would have no grasp of perspective or intersectionality if you were doing anything beyond posting in bad faith.
Itd be preferable for you not to compare yourself to those individuals, and I dont think you actually disagree with that.
Are you... comparing *yourself* to an actual person in chattel slavery or a jewish person during the holocaust rn?This reach is cringe even for you, Toon.
That is ... wow.
Pulling a Gina Carano is not what I expected

I'm not particularly in favor for people needing to resort to 3rd party clinics abroad mainly for potential health and safety reasons. I feel the same for many treatments people may feel the need to go abroad for. It also potentially bypasses the important early engagement stages of actually understanding why a patient wants to transition, make sure it's what they really want to do, give them all the facts, give them time to reflect and ultimately allow people to make a fully informed choice.Thats not really under the purview of medical professionals providing gender affirming care. Essentially all they require is informed consent and this is backed by professional guidelines in terms of the best approach.
Theyre selling gender affirming careYep
But what do you do?I see this clown show of yours is featured all night.
"Other people's struggles are theoretical to me", huh?My mere existence shakes the very foundation of cisheteronormativity, you should see some of the sneers I get in public
Tell me exactly, what do you actually do to alliviate other people's struggles?
"Run away"? I'm not sure what you think this conversation is, but there's some deep issues in the way you're approaching it.ToteAll posted...
Regardless, my main point was, and continues to be:
Your attitude here is the exact opposite of this. You just want to be seen, which is kinda sad, specially on freaking CE.
Why not try to be seen somewhere else where you can put all this angsty energy to better use?
Yes, because they're incapable of being nice, you shouldn't be, and because that's the best way we get to prevent said genocide. Riding high horses and allienating more conservative/traditional/older "swing voters" is how these people keep finding power vacuums to fill over and over.
Trying to in any way downplay or ignore that fact is just a clear show of people just wanting to be right, not actually caring about the right thing being done.
I'm calling out people for thathttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/22205e8f.jpg
