Are you trans?

[@NoahFelixx]

Yes very

[@iyonari]

👍🏻😁

[@alex.bane.1600]

Yeah👍

[@MawceResimont-rd3sw]

Yeah

[@Dr.Worm666]

Si 🏳️‍⚧️

[@alex.bane.1600]

Luke looks a bit different today. Did he get a haircut or something?

[@NoahFelixx]

He got plastic hair surgery Edit: I just realised this makes it seem like I’m saying that that persons hair looks like plastic. That’s not what I meant 😢.

[@alexlail7481]

Nope that's Pseudo-Luke

[@scratchfox1958]

genuinely laughed sm when it cut to him

[@Shrimpyfriedrice]

When listening I was so confused why he sounds so different

[@vh1830]

I would just like to say I would 100% appreciate the "fully picking the report apart" sci guys episode.

[@summeriscake_8460]

it would be really funny if he was just another dude called luke cutforth

[@Sisithehuman]

I love how many recent episodes noah has been in!!

[@christopherstrange36]

10:30 We are already seeing restrictions on social transitioning here in the USA. Where I live in Florida it is currently illegal for students and teachers in public schools to use names and pronouns “not aligned with their biological sex.” There are plenty of such restrictions trying to be passed into law right now and it’s horribly scary. Not to mention multiple states that are trying to pass laws on being able to take trans children away from their parents if their parents allow them to live as the gender they identify with.

[@SkysTheLimit57]

in indiana we need parent's permission for teachers to use other names and pronouns which sucks when you're not ready to come out

[@BayLovesSpiderman]

Same, it’s stupid because some people are in situations where they feel in danger and can’t ask their parents (I also live in Florida)

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

There are also proposals to create a "registry" of trans people (does that sound familiar at all?) and hotlines that have been set up to essentially report trans people existing out in public. This year, like the beginning of last year, there have been approximately 100 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation proposed per month, and far too many of them are getting passed.

[@chachabooom5]

Florida is bat$h1t crazy, our governor is an a$$h013

[@sadfaery]

Also in Florida here, and yeah, it's... Bad. And thankfully some even worse proposed legislation failed this year, but I fully expect to see more of the badness next year after the election is over. We do have some hope with some of the court cases on this legislation, but once it eventually goes to the state and then federal Supreme Courts, I suspect that the state Supreme Court will find in favor of the state and then the district court of appeals and the US Supreme Court are more iffy given their current makeup. Sigh. I hate everything about this and I absolutely cannot afford to move to any of the states where the legislation is better, so I'm just doing everything I can to keep fighting here to stand up for the other people who just can't leave the state.

[@rosegriffin2038]

i love how corry’s wearing a shirt from merch from a song wrote about him😂

[@planetaryg0]

oh my god i just realised noah sounds like gerard way speaking😭

[@asherapparently]

poor noah still trying (and failing) to be called the third sci guy :,(

[@JayyLott]

Hmm Luke seems a bit off here… I’m not quite sure why

[@rivshaw]

What is even more concerning is the things Hilary Cass has said after the publication of the review such as, trans people shouldn't be included in a conversion practices ban because some therapist may be hesitant to treat them

[@Akab]

Yeah that's just plain old discrimination. No way around it.

[@Aarenby]

She supports tilly Launton so.. yeah

[@Mx-Alba]

With regards to off-label use... There is a major danger there, in that the described side-effects for the medication may be incorrect or incomplete. For example, I'm on HRT. The entire documentation of the medication I take presumes that a cis woman is taking it to supplement a hormone deficiency, so hardly any of the documentation applies to me as a transfemme non-binary person taking those meds. We're always told that it's super important to read all the documentation that comes with any medication we take - but what if most of that doesn't even apply to us, and almost everything that does apply to us isn't on there? Hmmmm... (Note: this is not a statement against off-label use like we should ban all off-label use, but a statement against off-label use like all those off-label uses should be fully included in the label...)

[@lucyadams8354]

My dissertation is due in under 10 hours and I’ve looked at the cass review as part of it. I don’t have time to watch rn bc I have adhd so I’ve left loads of work until the last minute 😃 but in the words of Horton (2024) the cass review is “an exercise is cis-supremacy” !!!

[@kiranalexander8846]

I have been watching Scigiys for ages, and I love love love having a science podcast that truly takes an intersectional view on whatever is discussed

[@Dannyashcroft98]

im in Scotland and when i changed my gender marker upon changing it for my passport, this was 8 years ago now i was 16 and i got a new nhs number however they transferred all my details properly and i got letters about a smear test. its shocking how bad everything has gotten. i was 16 but because of the clinic messing up i didn't start testosterone until several months later in the year. i was in the child clinic so got hormones at 16 i started going to the clinic at 15 when i didn't need an adult present (can go to appointments without a guardian from 14), i had socially transitioned with friends and unofficially for quite a few years so i only had to complete some therapy and by the time that was done i only had to change name and live as the gender i identify before getting started on hormones , i did lie about how out i was at this time my mum didn't know but at 16 left school went to collage, changed my name and lives as Danny then started hormones the summer of my 16th year. but wow what a different world it was 8 years ago to now

[@Dannyashcroft98]

also hormone blockers werent a thing when i was 11 to 14 i think they only became possible to get when i was about 18 by that time already on cross sex hormones

[@whoviating]

"A Breif Look?" Is that a way to spell "brief-ish?" I am _so_ out of touch....

[@MaskedImposter]

Boxer-ish!

[@justpassingthrough7728]

More people need to be talking about this. It's really sad that it's just being accepted uncritically by a lot of people

[@planetaryg0]

i skipped the last episode coz weed triggers me I MISSED UUU

[@Miles_Plumlee]

Bro same! Happy they are back with another topic🤩

[@yusaki8064]

I got referred to the Tavistock at 13. I didn’t see them until I was 14. The first guy I saw there was the guy who coined the term which is basically conversion therapy for trans people (Anastasis Spiliadis). Had therapy for 4 years and got nowhere. Got referred to the GIC about 6 months before my 18th birthday. 42 months later I just had my first appointment at adult services. My dad read the Cass report and took it to suggest that there wasn’t enough evidence for gender treatment at all and that it should be restricted until you are 25. I couldn’t immediately see this in the Review but I wouldn’t be surprised if it suggested that. I have waited 42 months for even a chance at care. If that suggestion is put into effect, which both the Tories and Labour said they’ll do, I would have to wait another 42 months for that treatment. I cannot wait another 42 months. And I am saying it now, if the government put that into effect I will be self immolating in front of Downing Street before the day is done.

[@ally19288]

Just debating someone who claims that children transitioning is an intense intervention done to them and yeah… scary.

[@broke6785]

Im not sure if this is something that you would be willing to talk about but Idk why but no one has been talking about the fact that we discovered an ocean in the mantle. I would love for you to shed some light on this quite new interesting discovery.

[@wokery]

thanks for this ep corry :')
