@AshKSkeet @PNemeth72 @emceebeere @chiller @goody_kate @OwenJones84 @DadTrans @FierceMum @parislees @MavenOfMayhem @JakeGraf1 Yes, but the Electro- is hyphenated off, hence ECT. A strong electric current is passed between the temples, causing whole body convulsions (unless the body's muscles are first paralysed). It causes loss of memories, & was thought might change personality.
@AshKSkeet @PNemeth72 @emceebeere @chiller @goody_kate @OwenJones84 @DadTrans @FierceMum @parislees @MavenOfMayhem @JakeGraf1 Here🖼️'s a terrible account, from the book 'Gender Shock', of a trans child in 1950s/60s America being subjected to that.

@StephDale68 @vickyjane64 @AdrianHarrop Yes, I've used it for 20yrs & know many using it. It has a useful moderating effect in several respects, & normal mammary development🖼️ cannot take place without it. A vital metabolite is allopregnanolone, a shortage of which is associated with depression & anxiety.
@StephDale68 @vickyjane64 @AdrianHarrop 2/ As for why doctors won't prescribe it; clued-up menopause HRT specialists do, but most others, even endocrinologists are very ignorant on it - their work is mostly with diabetes. Many confuse the artificial substitutes, which don't work well for HRT purposes since their…
@StephDale68 @vickyjane64 @AdrianHarrop 3/…purpose is to affect the uterus without the practical problems of progesterone - which has to be delivered in oil so cannot be in tablets, & needs to be taken daily, so is unforgiving of a missed day.

At HBIGDA2000 (now WPATH) I was astounded to hear the leading Dutch…

@gi66le_tits @ButNotTheCity 1/ Are you both totally unaware that right NOW in the UK primary schools are being picketed to stop LGBT being even mentioned in their equalities education, in advance of it at last being made compulsory next year? Teachers are in tears, children are in fear, MPs are caving in?
@gi66le_tits @ButNotTheCity 2/ The misinformation opposing parents are believing includes that their 4-10yos will be taught about LGBT sex - when by law they are allowed to withdraw their child from sex-education, whereas they aren't from equalities education. Now you are pushing that it must be included!
@gi66le_tits @ButNotTheCity 3/ The teaching materials have been very carefully selected in order to get non-sexual equalities education into the classes where actual 4yo trans kids, & kids of LGBT parents are, or might be present, in order to stop bullying. Education on babies come later, under separate law

@LisaTMullin @WhatTheTrans 1/ No the both of you, that is BS. LGB, ever since "coming out" was named, have done so in their teens & peaking in 30s was never a thing. Trans is very different. Perhaps if you spoke to us who have been advocating on kids for decades?
@LisaTMullin @WhatTheTrans 2/ Paediatric clinic referrals have rocketed, relatively, for a succession of reasons that the Tavi know well but never discuss because it wants the "panic" reaction - it is a psyschoanalytic centre & wants the ban on trying to "cure" NHS trans (of all ages) by that means ended.
@LisaTMullin @WhatTheTrans 3/ Not because that would work - it never, ever has - but because psychoanalysts at the Tavi have huge personal investments in promoting their belief. Remember that the Tavi now owns CX adult GIC too, as well as GIDS - both the world's largest.

😡 Un informe filtrado revela el mal funcionamiento del Tratado sobre la Carta de la Energía. Ese tratado opaco que casi nadie conoce y que puede costarnos a los contribuyentes en España más de 7.000 millones de EUR debe ser abolido. #StopISDS Abro hilo ⤵️ euractiv.com/section/energy…

Equities are largely pricing in a recovery in China leading to a pick up in global growth, as shown below by the correlation between China's PMI and $SPX YoY.
The same is true for global equities, as shown below. $ACWI
That said, we are not seeing the subsequent pick up via China's largest trading partners.

Dark Matter Hunters Pivot After Years of Failed Searches - WIRED

“Pivot” is an interesting choice of words. Sorta implies that one is pivoting from one thing (WIMPS) to something else. In which case the “something else” needs to be specified. apple.news/AfFMHcOI9QlK8e…
The whole dark matter search community reminds me of Daffy Duck in the episode quoted from IMDb here. [shockingly, I do not instantly find a gif of Daffy falling off said cliff.]
Reading this article does not inspire confidence. Sounds more like they’re poised to make the same mistakes all over again. Having spent decades in a fruitless search for WIMPs motivated by the WIMP miracle - an irrelevant numerical coincidence - might they decide to learn more?

OK, look, sometimes people mess up. We all have times when we mess up. We all have times when we make two or three bad errors in succession. We're human. #1/23
The @newsundayherald is one of the important institutions of Scotland's news media. Admittedly it's less important now as our new media develops, but it was a big win for #Yes when, in 2014, it nailed our colours to its mast. #2/23
However, there's two aspects to that decision: yes, @newsundayherald's decision to come on board helped the #Yes movement, but the #Yes movement repaid that with a substantial boost in sales for the @newsundayherald. #3/23
