CW: modern weapons
Today, in the Majura artillery range, explodey things are exploding aplenty. It is 19km from me, and the wind is (sort-of) blowing from there towards me. The sound is dramatic. Not *loud* at this distance, but weird, and it expresses a deliberate pattern at times.
Goodness me, I know that they are doing it for testing/training, but it is *still* confronting. A direct reminder of the thing we see each night on the news: a bit of explosive, in the right place, is certainly going to ruin someone's day.

I've finished "The Boy in the Dress", by Jonathan Butler. A great read! Part history, part memoir, it's a very personal exploration of homophobia in Australia, focusing on the Army during World War Two but also taking us into the present-day.

CW: Several Problems Press: Several problems — The Courier-Mail, 27 November 2022; CW: transphobia
27. "[Barber] said he follows Australian guidelines promoted by AusPath — a group of health professionals working with trans people — that says gender affirming care is evidence-based and saves lives."
What an absolutely delightful paragraph. For relatively few words, there is so much going on.
#AusPATH are the AUStralian Professional Association for Transgender Health, the Australian affiliate of #WPATH, and the peak body for trans health in Australia. AusPATH are "a group of health professionals working with trans people" in much the same way that the #AustralianArmy are "a group of people in green clothes who like guns".
Being the peak body, AusPATH don't "promote" guidelines; they set them. Nor is their setting of guidelines simply a matter of ineffectually wringing their hands and saying, "well, doctors *should* do this, we'd *like* it if they did, pretty please". As noted above, civil action for medical malpractice rests largely on whether the defendant provided the standard of care which would be reasonably expected from a medical practitioner of that kind acting under those circumstances [1]. Those standards of care are precisely what AusPATH (and WPATH) define.
AusPATH can literally "promote" guidelines in the common meaning alternative to the one used here, i.e., raising them up. They can endorse a protocol used by an individual clinic or in a small area, and distribute it under their own aegis. That just effectively makes it another standard they set, though, not some other thing they're shilling for.
Finally, the fact that gender-affirming care is evidence-based and saves lives isn't a matter of what either Barber or AusPATH "say"; it's simply true [2] [3] [4].
