My mischievous side wants to do only one word answers, but my rational side knows they’d probably know how to twist it to fit their narrative

my ass would be so passive aggressive about it’s not even funny. I would completely derail it and talk about entirely irrelevant shit.
“DIY HRT? Yeah no i think linux is a pretty conceptually good system, has a couple issues, but such is life i suppose.”
Or i would just say nothing, and stand there.
I’m not trans, just a middle aged dude, but it gives me a bit of hope that the trans community has these sorts of options when it feels like half the world wants to deny you your preferred existence. Shitty that you have to, but glad that you can.
Fuck the bigots. Fuck the church. Fuck bad-faith politicians. Fuck the lies of conservatives. And fuck the people who can’t or won’t see the media doing the same thing to trans folk they did to gays mere decades ago.
Idiots, cruel intolerant, controlling idiots, the lot of them.

No, we should all waste their time giving testimony that is so ridiculous, but still believable.

“yeah no i’ve been DIYing water for the last 30 years of my life, it really helps me stay healthy and focused”
“Don’t talk to journalists” in general is a good rule of thumb these days
I mean it’s nuanced yeah?
Am I gonna talk to a journalist about a sensitive thing like DIY that could trigger brainwashed regressive people? Fuck no.
Am I gonna blast on all channels that we are in a climate crisis and inequality crisis and housing crisis and? Yes, yes I think I will.
And that’s my decision for me. Some people are understandably never comfortable talking. Let alone to journalists lol!
I remember when the Guardian was the good newspaper that proudly published the Wikileaks documents, sad to see them turn into the Terf Stasi.

i was a little confused, until i realized that it was home grown HRT (not literally i know, i just like phrasing things weirdly.)
took me a second. We certainly live in a time to be alive.
Is the Guardian consistently anti-trans? I’ve seen some reasonably pro-trans articles like https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/13/veteran-trans-campaigner-cass-review-has-potential-for-positive-change
They’ve posted articles against banning transgender conversion therapy, their chief lead writer is an outspoken TERF, they’ve posted articles for years now calling trans women threats to cisgender lesbians, and many more examples than that.
The article you linked does indeed seem to be a relatively trans supportive article. The guardian is internally divided on issues of transgender rights and acceptance, and occasionally trans positive articles are published there. The organization is not trustworthy, however, and has been actively hostile to trans rights, unfortunately.
us guardian tends to be slightly better but not by much. uk guardian is full blown fascist.
generally don’t talk to the guardian about anything unless you need extra kindling for a fire
What’s diy?
Nice try, Guardian journo! 🤣
(DIY is Do-It-Yourself. HRT is Hormone Replacement Therapy. DIY HRT is doing HRT on your own, without professional assistance, in situations where HRT may be otherwise difficult or illegal to obtain because of age, family, or local politics)
Okay but why? Why shall we not talk to the guardian people?
DIY HRT is a trans-beneficial concept. The Guardian tends to have an anti-trans agenda. It is assumed that they would not be investigating to paint DIY HRT in a positive light, but to investigate in bad faith so they may push it to the forefront of national/worldwide conversation as in “look at the new evil the trans mafia are pushing on our children!”
I assume they would do the kind of thing Project Veritas does.
