  A friend of mine had a job where she worked remotely most of the time. She would never interact with any other of her colleagues unless if she went offline on Slack for too long or didn’t get her work done. She managed to make some pretty nifty Selenium scripts to do the whole thing for her and delayed it to her usual working speed. I’m pretty sure she spent most of her time working there playing OSRS instead and I think she did actually go away on an extended holiday too.

  I just saw this and immediately felt struck with terror about how this will be used. Cops will fill it with tear gas and I suspect it will be used at ita full force against Palestinians.

  Mermaids are widely distrusted among the trans community as an org targeting trans youth with cis adults in charge. The wider community are mostly opposed to gender clinics however this pushes them in a more hostile direction, specifically because they chose to opaquely work with conversion therapist networks and no trans advocacy organizations.

  In this case, they used an adaptation of Newcastle Ottowa scale, however they didn’t provide an appendix of what those adaptations actually were. The specific points were raised that the studies weren’t double blind, which would obviously be a violation of basic ethics in this case. There were multiple conversion therapists involved in the report so its pretty reasonable to assume malicious intent.

  The current Guardian editor, Kath Viner is quite closely in the organised transphobe clique on the press/academic/legal side with Helen Joyce, Maya Forestater and Kathleen Stock. The Cass report was quite openly leaked to most of those orgs a week in advance to give them time to prepare statements. Its a political farce to legitimize them and it holds up to absolutely no scrutiny. Its impossible and unethical to double-blind trans healthcare.

  Its important to note that the evidence is there, they just applied an impossible and unethical standard to it to dismiss all but one study. Of those identified to be involved in this report, multiple conversion therapist organisations were consulted but no trans advocacy organizations.

  The way in which they dismissed the evidence was notably the exclusion of double blind studies. Imagine if they said the same of cancer treatments.
