He used Rowling's own words against her

Premier League referee Bobby Madley has hit out at J.K. Rowling after the writer misgendered trans football manager Lucy Clark.

Rowling wrote: "When I was young all the football managers were straight, white, middle-aged blokes, so it's fantastic to see how much things have changed."

The next day, she shared a Daily Mail article – which said Rowling had compared Clark to a man – with the caption wrote: "I didn't compare him to one. He IS one."

But former Premier League referee Bobby Madley leapt to Clark's defence, describing her as a "good, kind person." He then used Rowling's own words against her when he quoted a line from Harry Potter.

"'It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.' — Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Ironic..."

As the cool kids say: Sick burn.

Well its shopping Thursday yet again, same old what do I get to cook. Might call in on the local farm market as they have a meat counter to see if I can get different cuts to the standard supermarket stuff.
 Have all the windows open, window cleaner started to wash them with his long reach brush so a quick panic close. Problem I have is cleaning the inside of the secondary glazing as its not removable unlike the ones at the old house.
 Deb rang me again this morning to tell me she had got a new 3 piece suite for the front room, that will be the 3rd time. I do worry about her, thing is she over thinks things and has no one to talk to.

But the ICD 11 has moved gender incongruence out of  "Mental and behavioural disorders" and into "Conditions related to sexual health".

Progress 

Hugs, Devlyn

Yes the first time I turned up at hot rod club in a dress threw a few to start with even though they all knew, no problem now and get nice comments from the wives/girl friends as well. Shopping today so jeans and a long flower pattern top, its chill by the freezer section!!!

I was talking to a friend about this. He wasn't speaking about Peru in particular, but politics in general. He said,

"There is only one reason to declare someone mentally ill. To control them."

That made me think.

Quote from: Jessica_K on Yesterday at 02:57:26 PMHere in the UK, GP's are useless for anything transgender orientated. "We are not trained to administer hormones or to evaluate bloods" so will not do either. The fact they administer hormones to cis women and know exactly what good hormone blood levels are in cis women says it all.

I have a female GP that I choose thinking from her CV would good, but she is just like all the rest.

I hope in your country or state GP's are better than here.

My GP in the UK was amazing.. not totally accepting, we had a LONG conversation about his views on transgender people and their rights and he stated he would 'Never administer drugs of any kind to a child to ease gender dysphoria'. However for me, he was supportive and wrote of my prescriptions without a murmur, liaised with the private hospital and surgeon who did my surgery and was supportive on my post-op recovery.

I am sorry Jessica if you have a bad one.. but you know what, you can change your GP really easy.. I did not just happen to have this guy as a GP.. I had that transgender conversation BEFORE I joined his surgery.. The NHS has a lot of problems. It has some very bad wait times for gender surgery and gender confirmative care on the whole, but it does exist and it is accessesable to ALL.. in the USA you need insurance, that costs money and in most cases it is a lot of money. If you are working a dead end job, no insurance the chances of you even getting hormones are zero.. The chances of you being able to afford your consultations are zero.

I chose to pay for my surgery, I wanted it faster than the NHS could muster it up.. a friend of mine, however went the NHS route, did the GHC and the years of wait.. she had her surgery 3 months before me in the same hospital, with the same surgeon, with the same level of service.. it cost, on the door, nothing to them and close to £20,000 for me. The only difference was 3 or 4 years. WHilst that is too long, it being available to everyone is still something to be proud of and demands to make the NHS better are all called for - But classing it all as 'useless' or worse the people that work hard in this service as 'useless' is harsh
