@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow 1. I’m not a republican & in the UK I voted for a left wing party in every election I have voted in, even if I wouldn’t now 2. There you go again, assuming & placing labels on me! assuming I’m okay with grooming… I’ve called grooming gangs out consistently on this very account

@Cal_Talks @weirdrue @tenyearsnow Also, you anti-trans Republicans REALLY can’t be talking about child abuse lmfao.

Trump comes out in support of Transgender people being allowed to use the bathrooms of their choosing. He states Caitlyn Jenner would be allowed to use the woman restrooms in Trump Tower.

🚨NEW: An internal memo shows analysts at the ONS have admitted there is a "huge overrepresentation" of foreign nationals charged with sex crimes in London [@migrationCtrl]

@spikedonline The idea that as a country, we should even be considerate of a literal TERRORIST’s human rights, is simply bizarre

An Islamist terrorist who planned to blow up the London Stock Exchange has been granted asylum in the UK. This is suicidal. We cannot keep prioritising the rights of men who want to kill us over those of our own citizens, says Rakib Ehsan buff.ly/xCvQWHZ

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow That’s literally what you’ve spent this entire thread doing, misinterpreting what people had said and then creating literal lies to suit your own fantasy in your mind You’ve accused people multiple times of saying heinous things which they never once said. It’s concerning

@Cal_Talks @weirdrue @tenyearsnow

@GBPolitcs What idiot would even claim that anyway, we literally have a new announcement every day of an illegal committing these crimes You can’t import incompatible culture into western society. Doesn’t matter if you’re white, black or brown, some cultures simply cannot work in the UK

🚨NEW: Nigel Farage demands apology from Zack Polanksi over his claim that "illegal migrants aren't sexually assaulting women" after three illegal migrants were found guilty today of gang-raping a young, drunk woman on Brighton beach

@BBCNews The UK need to step up and legalise weed The unregulated chemicals sprayed on supply in the UK is creating millions of people with severe mental health issues Get the tax revenue, mandate companies to set up shop in the UK to generate jobs Regulate it and make it safe

US reclassifies marijuana, raising hopes of legalisation bbc.in/4e4txp8

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow So to hell with the women who have been raped or attacked by biological men going into the women’s bathroom, or a women’s prison…

@weirdrue @Cal_Talks @tenyearsnow “Whatever choices a person made to change their body is their responsibility and no one else should have to conform or make exceptions for them.” (In context of bathroom safety when it comes to trans women—who are often raped or SA’d when forced into male restrooms)

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow ‘Superficial similarities’ There is no logic with you is there 😂

@Cal_Talks @weirdrue @tenyearsnow BDD and AN have similar neurology. If GD was truly comparable to them, then why doesn’t it have the same (similar) neurology? They only have superficial similarities when it comes to symptoms. That’s it. Is that not an extraordinarily weak comparison?

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow That’s not aggressive, like at all… you were telling rue she wanted people dead, making up lies she never said I simply called out people like you who want to trap kids into a decision before their brains are even fully formed, it makes me sick to be honest

@Cal_Talks @weirdrue @tenyearsnow I love how you were just chastising me for being too “aggressive”, and then said that anyone who suggests that trans minors can have their GD treated is “child abuse”. I transitioned as a child. It saved my life, period. It was the only thing that did.

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow Just because you have had success and people were irresponsible enough to let you do it, doesn’t make it right People in your country can’t even buy alcohol into 21, yet you want to give kids life changing, irreversible surgery No thank you and I’m glad the world is waking up

@weirdrue @Cal_Talks @tenyearsnow Again, I am/was a child transitioner. I know what did and did not help me. Transitioning helped me more than anything else. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s ineffective. It’s overwhelmingly beneficial.

@weirdrue @hantalyte @tenyearsnow Completely agree Leave kids alone, under absolutely no circumstances should they be allowed to transition, to even suggest it is child abuse in my honest opinion

@hantalyte @Cal_Talks @tenyearsnow Absolutely fucking not. There’s a lot more we can do for children who suffer from the same mental illness but this is definitely not the answer.

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow The neurology being different, does not mean it requires a far more illogical and extreme treatment of gender affirming surgery. So yes, they can be compared like that, no matter how you try and spin it

@Cal_Talks @weirdrue @tenyearsnow While GD is often deadlier, that was not my point. The neurology is fundamentally different, despite BDD and AN being relatively similar. So they can’t really be compared like that.

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow So what you’re saying is because the mental disorder is worse, we should give in and affirm their mental health issues Listen to yourself, that’s completely illogical

@Cal_Talks @weirdrue @tenyearsnow BDD *and* anorexia are associated with thinner neurological cortices. GD is associated with thicker ones. Even the neurology is completely unique. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30084980/

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow And before you call me a bigot or transphobic, I’m none of the above If someone has transitioned, I wouldn’t judge them, it doesn’t affect my life, i hope they’re happy But it doesn’t mean I have to agree with the treatment for the problem

@Cal_Talks @weirdrue @tenyearsnow Gender dysphoria and BDD are completely separate disorders. Trans people are given psychotherapy and antidepressants. They can provide moderate symptomatic relief. But the only thing that truly solves GD is transitioning. The root of the problem is being born in the wrong body.

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow So are you saying that transition surgery is the equivalent to cancer treatment? That’s absolutely absurd These people absolutely need treatment, but that treatment should be therapy to better understand their body dysmorphia, not surgery affirming their mental illness

@Cal_Talks @weirdrue @tenyearsnow And it’s an ideology I don’t believe in 😉 Don’t trivialize the topic. Rue called the medically necessary treatment for a life-threatening medical condition a “lifestyle”. That’s absurdly insensitive. Imagine if you told a cancer patient that chemotherapy was a “lifestyle”!!!

@hantalyte @weirdrue @tenyearsnow Woke is in ideology, it’s not a counter argument The ‘woke’ brigade, generally refers to the crowd who has behaved like you have in this very conversation, aggressive, full of assumptions and quite clearly angry, over a civil discussion, all because Rue didn’t agree with you

@weirdrue @Cal_Talks @tenyearsnow It’s not my fault that y’all call literally everything you disagree with “woke”.

@weirdrue @hantalyte @tenyearsnow That’s the problem really, especially with the proper woke people, it’s their way or no way and they’re not willing to have discourse to understand the other perspective

@Cal_Talks @hantalyte @tenyearsnow I respect everyone’s opinion! I think we can disagree that’s totally okay. This world is big enough for everyone.

@weirdrue @hantalyte @tenyearsnow In all fairness, how they’ve just accused you of saying you want them dead is so bizarre You’ve put your points across in a fair manner, I might disagree with the logistics of your argument, but you haven’t been hateful at all

@hantalyte @Cal_Talks @tenyearsnow Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I respect others. It’s crazy just because I don’t agree you want to paint me as this hateful and aggressive person when it’s really you all that act that way lol.

@GBNEWS I also wonder if farage will plan to scrap the public duty cost allowance, or restrict the extortionate expenses politicians are allowed to claim? I highly doubt that as well

@GBNEWS I hope reform plan to give a big boost in wages then! Public sector workers are willing to take lower wages due to the appeal of favourable pension contributions Take that away, you’ll see a mass exodus to the private sector Silly policy

Reform UK plans to scrap 'gold-plated' public sector pensions for new workers gbnews.com/money/reform-u…
