Medieval Neurodivergence

Boots do not “sell” any hormone therapy drugs. They fulfil prescriptions, as they are legally (and morally) obliged to, provided by qualified medical experts despite journalists, politicians and political campaigners not approving!

@Huriye @sharrond62 @AllisonPearson @richardpbacon The vast majority do not regret transition. Detransitioners who detransitioned due to regret are in a minority even amongst detransitioners. Adolescents can consent to their own medical treatment.

@MedievalNDs @sharrond62 @AllisonPearson @richardpbacon Children are not in a position to fully decide. Some who have transitioned and undergone mastectomies and hormone therapy deeply regret it later. Parents shouldn't be enablers to harm their children. It's become "fashionable".

You are just a bully now.

@Huriye @sharrond62 @AllisonPearson @richardpbacon The key is bodily autonomy. We don't want anyone to transition who does not want that themselves.

@sharrond62 @AllisonPearson @richardpbacon Well said, Sharron, ignore the abuse, those of us who remember Swimming and Athletics in the 80s know the truth. Most of those poor women didn't have a choice in the beginning and were told they were vitamins. To deliberately pump your child full of testosterone is bullying.

@BenadamAda @sharrond62 @richardpbacon Nice fanfiction you've got there.

@sharrond62 @richardpbacon It’s never been about the data it’s just about forcing onto others the ideology they have you feel x you must be y some girls are tomboy now they are told the are trans …. Some boys are effeminate now they are told they are girls see a pattern…

@ContorSien1527 @vix_the_star @Miss_Snuffy Yes, this is true. However, not all disabled people are going to think that it aligns with their experiences. Some prefer a mixed model understanding. Plus there are other models like the cultural model which reframes the diversity of bodyminds as an asset.

@MedievalNDs @vix_the_star @Miss_Snuffy It’s the one that was developed by disabled people.

“…the current epidemic of childhood disability is not a medical problem. It is a cultural failure. Telling children that they are disabled, and unable to cope with the demands of life, is setting them up for a life of dependency and unfulfilled potential” spiked-online.com/2026/04/03/why…

@vix_the_star @ContorSien1527 @Miss_Snuffy The social model says that people are disabled by societal barriers rather than a physical impairment. Some disabled people say that the social model does not accurately describe their experiance of disability. That's why I am suggesting caution when applying it universally.

@MedievalNDs @ContorSien1527 @Miss_Snuffy I’m not sure you’ve understood the social model of disability.

@KatarinaHill2 @jamesdavis6939 Who am I meant to be a sock of? Maybe your opinions are just so unpopular that a lot of people disagree with them

@MedievalNDs @jamesdavis6939 Like making multiple soc accounts so you can troll?

A year ago this month, the Supreme Court made it clear that a woman is defined by biological sex. However, parkrun continues to defy their ruling and allow men to cheat in the female category. It’s time you stopped breaking the law parkrun and make the female category XX only!

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy It's not a binary can vs cannot eat. You get more points the more support you need with feeding yourself. So you might need prompting to eat or to help with cooking steps. Executive dysfunction and alexithymia are recognised features of ADHD which might contribute to this.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy Detected fraud rate. If you show me somebody who claims that their ADHD means they cannot wash or eat, I'll show you a liar.

@Xisfunnny @Miss_Snuffy Diagnosing disability facilitates this rather than prevents this.

@MedievalNDs @Miss_Snuffy That’s my point , children need to be taught resilience so they do have the tools to cope with difficulties and challenges .

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy Right so that's fraud. The PIP fraud rate is 0.4% currently.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy And that's where the coaching comes in - claiming that having ADHD prevents you from doing those things. It's bullshit.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy If it is disabling enough to prevent you from eating, washing, and managing life without support, yes it should qualify you for PIP.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy I'm not saying they are pretending to have ADHD. I'm saying having ADHD shouldn't be sufficient to qualify for disability benefits.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy Yeah, the non-ableist side.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy It's clear which side of your bread is buttered in this debate.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy No, I dismissed your assertion that people are going through a ridiculous amount of effort in order to pretend they are ADHD and claim PIP.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy Yet you just dismissed it as chump change.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy I know it is not a diagnosis. I was saying that in addition to the PIP assessment not being lax, it is also difficult to get an ADHD diagnosis in the first place.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy A pip assessment isn't a diagnosis. I'm not sure you know what you're taking about.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy I don't think it is nothing.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy PIP isn't an income it's to supplement an income or benefits. You're clearly very well off if you think £184 a week is nothing.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy The assessment is not too lax. It is also very difficult to get a diagnosis in the first place. You have constructed this fantasy which does not reflect reality in the slightest.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy Yes I know, and that assessment is too lax. Nobody should be receiving benefits for the consequences of having ADHD.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy For what? A maximum of £184 per week? Some lifestyle.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy It means they are malingerers. I do not want my taxes used to fund their lifestyles.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy ADHD is a disability though. It's also not a mental health condition but a developmental condition. To get PIP you have to be assessed as having significant challenges in daily living and/or mobility.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy My own personal experience of people I have met, and ADHD being the number one mental health condition among successful pip recipients, and a review of the scoring matrix used to assess claims.

@BarryTizer @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy Fibromyalgia is real, as is long COVID. We have known for decades (if not longer) that illnesses can cause residual and lingering effects. This belief is ascientific. However, even if it was caused by mental illness, that would still mean that the people who have it are disabled.

@MedievalNDs @Charlot4779395 @DaveAirCEO @Miss_Snuffy Oh spare me. "Long COVID" is the new fibro, entirely self reported medical conditions used by malingerers who either have unresolved mental health issues or can't cope with getting older. You're clearly part of the problem yourself.
