⚠️ It's a trap ⚠️ (please boost for reach)

I was just informed that the Guardian (UK) is prepping to do a story on DIY HRT and is looking to interview trans folk, particularly teens.

The story will almost certainly be weaponized by conservatives to argue for removing access to the necessary materials.

Just like with the police, anything you say can and will be used against you by mainstream media.

Be safe out there fam

Update #2: God dammit Guardian US, I retract my kudos to you. This is why we can't have nice things.

Update #1: I wanted to share this article that was brought to my attention. The US Guardian wrote a piece that really gets to the heart of why I'm sounding a warning, while also helping to frame that this isn't directed at the .com Guardian—they seem to have a healthy viewpoint on how trans people should be treated.

The Guardian view on the Cass report: rising numbers of gender distressed young people need help

Editorial: The review of England’s child transgender health service is not a full stop in the debate but part of a continuing conversation

@alice Oh no! I do not trust The Guardian! Even a place I did trust covering the topic would be suspect, getting this awareness out to the public especially right now seems like a very bad idea, despite how much knowing about it could potentially help trans people. :/ And like, I know there's trans folks who DIY T but like, I generally understand that to be illegal, whereas DIY E is at least in more of a grey area to legal, though that may be more my knowledge of Canada/USA than reflective of the UK.
