@burnthelilacs hey, small correction on the legality of testosterone it's actually an odd-one-out among class c drugs in that it's not illegal to possess for personal use at all, only to sell it so the risk is even lower :)

@DMTMF23 @hehimta it's legal to kick people out if an "individual’s physique or physical appearance" is incongruous with their stated sex, so they don't have to take anyone's word for it unclear how this is going to play out in practice though

@DMTMF23 @hehimta from the guidance "a trans man might be excluded from the women-only service if ... because he presents as a man, other service users could reasonably object to his presence" so trans men do not have the right to use male or female facilities

@hehimta but the minute you uttered the words 'i'm a trans man' they would have sufficient grounds for ejecting you so i think this gotcha just doesn't work given the uniquely punitive british approach of banning trans ppl from M&F services simultaneously

@forwardnotback trans people are prohibited from using both male and female spaces simultaneously under this guidance, so e.g. a trans man cannot use the men's or the women's how is that not a de facto third sex?

@ftlsid so, for example, do you think that a brain dead person with zero consciousness should be treated in all respects like a regular person?

@NathanpmYoung considering that seems likely to be the case, doesn't that suggest legalising it may not be a good thing?

@UkeCreature i think it is important context here that they do not think trans men should be allowed into men's spaces, but rather placed in completely segregated ones (or provided no service at all)

@Rongwrong_ "the categories your concepts pick out ... are not socially constructed" seems an odd way of talking to me, because i (naively?) think of categories as a kind of concept, rather than as a thing-out-there unsure how much of this dispute is merely linguistic

@lithophage i get the impression that a lot of them are just hunting for excuses because they don't really want to anyway, but feel that saying that would hurt their credibility likewise with overwrought phallo hate

@TrulyWheelyMe @The_Bunny_Doll i think you underestimate the bureaucratic incompetence of the british state even if it is possible, in principle, to reconstruct someone's trans status, the actual process of finding the data and rendering it legible is not trivial

@dwaldenwrites i think he's misreading the 'as well' as 'in addition to', which would explain the remark about punctuation

@sentientist why suppose that was the reason for the adoption?

@TomChivers i'm not sure how much work 'social anxiety' can really do here though doesn't it amount to saying 'you find socialisation stressful b/c you have socialistion-is-stressful disorder'? (i agree 'autism' may not be a useful descriptor)
