LGB HistoryAlan Turing on the £50 note

submitted by CastleHoward from (self.LGBDropTheT)

Turing was a hero to the allied forces. He literally did more than any one individual to fight Nazis. He was treated horribly because he was gay. He was chemically castrated using a drug called Lupron. Lupron is still in use to block puberty in children that think they might be transgender. It is not fully reversable and it stops a child in the development to adulthood. Our government and healthcare providers say this is a good thing. Please spread the word. Alan Turing would not have wanted this to still be happening.

RIP Alan Turing, one of the world’s greatest gay men to have ever lived. Gay men should look up to gay men like him, instead of worshiping popstars and drag queens.

He was chemically castrated using Lupron specifically?? If so, that's fucking crazy. Do you have a source? I would love to share that with people.

RIP Alan Turing. A true genius.

As long as they don't say that he was a trans revolutionary like they have been lately. Ah yes, being forcibly chemically castrated immediately makes you trans, especially if you're no longer alive to defend yourself from people forcing terms onto you.

Exactly! Lupron, an advanced prostrate cancer drug, is being given to kids in the US as a "puberty blocker" (chemical castration) - same thing given to Turing. Spread the word.

Rip to a great man. The way our country treated him after the war was just awful. I think his featuring in the note shows how far we have come in terms of lgb acceptance

Yeah because why put someone on a bank note for historical relevancy, no, it has to be about the supposed gay claim.

Also this has nothing to do with modern issues. This is honestly the "LGB" version of "Marsha threw the first brick at stonewall so trans women are women!!!"

He committed suicide shortly after being chemically castrated. In his time his achievements were appended with a "but hes gay so".

I'd call that relevant to his legacy. Hero was abused for his sexuality and is suffering from attempted postmortem transing. Everyone here knows you don't give a shit and despise it whenever sexual orientation is related to anything other than self-loathing, but you don't really have a leg to stand on here.

Considering how trans seems the new conversion therapy it seems like they were considering chemical castration to LG people far back then... they just changed their approach to be woke and more "inclusive" to fool everyone
