15% suicide attempt rate without hormones

8% with hormones

Jesus Christ those are high numbers.

This clearly proves holding back trans healthcare was never about "protecting children". It's about erasing the identities of people who are aesthetically inconvenient to bigots.

Disgusting.

Labour under Kier Starmer is so concerned with appealing to far-right voters that he is happy to kneecap human rights in the process.

Get. Them. Out.

Davies’ Women’s Sports Union, alongside the conservative advocacy group ADF International, has now issued letters to 10 organisations. They contend that these bodies are in breach of the law and are failing to adequately protect women and girls by permitting male-born competitors to participate in their events.

parkrun allows competitors to identify by gender rather than sex.

The webpage states: “We feel this is aligned with us as a health and wellbeing charity that provides non-competitive, socially-focused physical activity, and allows people to identify in the way they feel most appropriate and comfortable.”

These pressure groups obviously have no leg to stand on, and are blatant transphobes. Go fuck yourselves bigots.

When the people's survival is based on charity and not state welfare, that's a failed society.

TLDR; He's a spineless, brown-nosed man who stands for nothing.

He developed a reputation as a low-maintenance operator who leadership rarely had to worry about.

Grain of salt as this is from the Telegraph, but:

In an interview with Talk TV in 2022, Mr Murray, who was then a shadow treasury minister, was repeatedly asked to define what a woman was.

He replied: “I believe that trans women are women.”

Sources told The Telegraph that Mr Murray’s view has since changed and that he is committed to protecting single-sex spaces in the health service.

It's very sad that people in extreme poverty are being abused by the far-right. Somehow convinced that their problems originate from immigrants and not the lack of welfare.

From what I've heard a lot of the time they don't even necessarily believe any of it. It's just grifting for money.

Some random man in Bangladesh or something.

Other times it could be genuine far-right agitators trying to get Reform or other parties elected.

They really can barely keep it in.

The judge, in fact the whole process was obviously biased against the defendents. How exactly is this a fair trial? The whole thing stinks to the high heavens.

It's funny how mf will say "Israel has a right to defend itself" but when someone says the same about Palestine that makes you a terrorist supporter 🤔

Chart of seats up for election and how many were gained and lost by party.

As the remaining council votes start slowing down, we see that the greatest growth and numbers go to Reform council members, but the Green Party have gained significant ground.

Meanwhile, Labour have lost over half of the seats up for election this May.

Basically, they're all horrible people, to no ones surprise. And these are the ones who have not been recently arrested for being Russian shills

Maybe this will be the thing that finally gets your weirdo uncle to reconsider voting reform.

Not sure if this qualifies for this community, but given Lemmy is the primary source of news for many I thought it was important enough news to share.

This is a developing story, and it's not even clear yet that Trump was the target.

To the surprise of no one at this point, Kier Starmer's Labour prepares to squeeze more money out of poor people. Anything to not tax billionaires.

The (Forced) Labour party seem to earnestly believe that disabled people are just too lazy to work, and cutting their benefits will incentivise them to do so. In reality, what will happen is that most will sink into deeper poverty and many will become homeless. Homeless people are a lot more expensive to the state than people on benefits, and their health will only deteriorate, causing them to be even less likely to work and costing more to the NHS.

EDIT: Changed the article from Guardian to Independent as it was a more complete, less odd article without a cookiewall.


The numbers are still unconfirmed, but having been there I can tell you it was massive and fantastic.

The police estimates of 50 000 are comically false. The truth is likely somewhere in the middle. Most likely in the multiple hundreds of thousands.

Either way, it dwarfs any of the half a dozen protests I've seen in London over the last year, and some of those were really big.

To be completely precise, some she reverse engineers herself, others she finds an implementation someone has already done and just creates a UI for them. Still very cool.

In the video, she then describes how she did it, tools and all.

It's a shame people in the US (and possibly UK?) would be putting themselves at legal risk if they did the same. See Louis Rossman's videos on the DMCA if you are curious.

The news first came in 2024, but it's been very quiet since.

I've been waiting this whole time to jettison WhatsApp from my phone.

Is it available only in some parts of the world? If so can I spoof it?

We know that adversarial interoperability works, so why have we not been able to make this work?

All else failing, are there any unofficial WhatsApp clients I can use to preserve my privacy?

Sorry for the YouTube link, I realise Lemmy doesn't like that format much.

This is a video trying to explain the bathshit crazy views of Pete Hegseth, the GOP and the rest of its Christian Nationalist followers.

Not to excuse them, but to help understand what they will do next and what their goals are. As to many of us, myself included, it sometimes seems like random chaos.

Yeah, calling the only black dude Shacklebolt as well. The more you look the worse it gets.
