News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

No joke, I've heard talk of putting HRT meds on the Schedule list
Jesus fucking Christ, for real? I try to come up with purposefully exaggerated and completely ridiculous analogies, and this bloody administration still one-ups me with insanity...
thats the point - make things so mind-fuckingly insane that we just throw up our hands and walk away. look at the selection of people for directorships... each one is more fucking mental than the last. pure, unadulterated gaslighting.
Testosterone is already Schedule 3 and has been - same as ketamine and cocaine. You can’t DIY T legally, although I’m sure practically it’s not hard to hit up some roidheads.
Estrogen isn’t scheduled. Can’t cheat in sports with it I guess 🤷♂️
I don’t think they could do blanket bans on HRT - way too many cis people are on HRT. Cis women often take estrogen after menopause, an hour on a conservative AM talk radio station will get you at least fifteen ads for men with low T.
They’d have to make it specifically a ban on trans people on HRT, and that would get really difficult to enforce. Not that they care, but there is hope. The doctors who care about us are learning how to code things and word things in different ways.
(If they do take my script away somehow, I’ve always been tempted to walk into a low T clinic and tell them that I’m cis to see what happens. After that, the roidheads.)
The cruelty is the point. That's just a bonus
I can get them not caring about post menopausal women. But the second Daryl can’t get his dick hard enough for thirty seconds of fun with his wife, then we’d probably see an actual Revolution.
