@Yhe_XX_Estate She's all but guaranteed that her kid will never be able to desist now.
Imagine being the reason your family ran away from everything they knew, twice, to 'protect' you, and then realising that it was all unnecessary because really, you were just gay and a bit confused. You'd have to keep that secret forever.
The more I think about it, the more horrified I am for this kid, just not for the same reasons the mum wants us to be horrified.

@KeepTakingTheSoma @stephagain Mine did it. Cost me a fortune in solicitors bills, while he got legal aid.
He lost his nerve at the very last minute, and ended up agreeing to the same EOW arrangement we'd had since splitting up.

@stephagain Sounds like he doesn't want time with his kids, but he does want a judge to tell him he is ENTITLED to time with his kids. Dragging an ex partner to court is the worst way of establishing a dialogue. What he's actually establishing here is dominance.
Is this the same man who did the non-violent communication course, by any chance?

@Ladyfat @HebrideanHecate Every time a child is removed from school and subsequently murdered, home education gets the blame.
Every time, the serious case review shows that the authorities had many opportunities to save the child, but they failed to act.
But people remember shocking headlines, not serious case reviews.
If any of this was really about protecting children, the statistics about home educated children being less likely to suffer violence, abuse and murder than their schooled peers would be much more widely known.

@KeepTakingTheSoma @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain I can only imagine his frustration. No wonder no-one wants to work for the NHS. Meanwhile, these people clog up the system and make it hard for others to get help.

@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Meanwhile, people are literally begging the NHS for help with serious mental health problems and being told to fuck off (and maybe try a colouring book) because there's no money for psychotherapy.
Fuck 'maybe I should be grateful'. He should never have been allowed to take up time and resources for such a cosmetic procedure in the first place.

@RadicalCartoons I admire your bravery.
I have not heard about this before, which I guess shows that someone does need to bring it into the light!

@sim @KeepTakingTheSoma Hamell on Trial does a lot of storytelling. His song 'The Vines' is all about his time working in highway maintenance pulling up weeds at the side of the road, but they call it foliage reconciliation to make it sound fancy! 'John Lennon' (the HoT song, not the Beatle!) is good too.

@sim I do what I can, when I can with music to get me moving. Sometimes, I use the music as a timer. If I'm really not in the mood, but the house is looking awful, I'll decide to clean for 3 songs/1 CD/ 1 podcast episode, then I'm allowed to stop. Even if I don't finish everything, it's better than procrastinating while the mess gets worse.
I also have a cleaner who comes once a fortnight. I'm getting better at keeping on top of things since I hired her, as I'd be ashamed to let her see the level of squalor I sometimes live in, especially in winter when my depression gets worse. It's also less overwhelming knowing that I don't have to do it all on my own.

@sim What new music have you been listening to? I'm always on the look out for new stuff to listen to.
Having someone to come in and help is great. I'd highly recommend it if you can afford it. The only downside is my family have started taunting me for 'becoming middle-class'!

@sim Thanks! I'll have a listen while I do my paperwork when I get back to work in a couple of days.
I mostly like folk, rock, ska, alternative, industrial... but am willing to give most things a try. I especially like songwriters who use their songs to tell you a story, and bands that use instruments outside of the standard drums/guitars/keyboard combo. Stick some cellos or a hurdy-gurdy over pretty much anything and I'll probably listen to it!
Teaching lifeskills/household management to people in the privacy of their own homes would probably be a winning business idea for someone who has the time and motivation! In the meantime, you can learn how to do almost anything on youtube.

@KeepTakingTheSoma @GrumpyOldNurse @Chronic-Yonic I used to clean for a living. My post was not meant as a dig at cleaners, and I hope it didn't come off that way.

@GrumpyOldNurse @Chronic-Yonic Even when they're trying to justify it, they always compare prostitution to one of the really shitty jobs. Usually either cleaning or flipping burgers. You never hear them compare prostituted women's 'agency' to that of estate agents.

@Chronic-Yonic That's so grim. I knew they had a big age gap, but they met when she was a kid?!

@jmakesart @ellepalmer1 I've heard plenty about the glitter family abandoning detransitioners, but this is the first time I've heard of the actual family abandoning them also. That's unbelievably cold. I hope this brave young woman has a shitload of support from others, seeing as her cowardly parents won't step up for her.

@Sherri_Ingrey @jmakesart @ellepalmer1 I guess they'd rather have a miserable 'son' than a detrans daughter.
Hypocrites.

@TriptychTwinsRidesAgain When I saw the headline, I thought it was going to be a Modest Proposal style satire.
It's actually terrifying to share the earth with psychopaths who think this is ok.

@ChasingWaterfalls Most (if not all) of those drugs were only tested on men. But it's your fault that a drug that was not designed for, or tested on, women does not react well inside your female body?
What a pack of arseholes.

@BILLSan345 @polarisera @GrumpyOldNurse @LadyMont I'm not sure that's quite what they have in mind when they talk about being 'trapped in the wrong body' ! 😆

@BILLSan345 @polarisera @GrumpyOldNurse @LadyMont Chesticles sounds like something a twelve year old boy might come up with.
Funny how so many of these 'neutral' terms are based on words for male anatomy.
