The caption to this post is a joke about the NHS Gender Clinics policy of "real lived experience" as a method of gatekeeping care The headline in the screenshot is real and linked elsewhere in the thread

I always thought that the singular advantage (amongst many many disadvantages) was that you could push for an informed consent model in the US Thats bleak

Its really telling that so many people immediately got what i was getting at here, i love that the entire Uk trans community has a shared trauma caused by our "healthcare" provider

the NHS has been doing shit like this for at least the last decade, this is just the first time theyve formalised it for cis people (to my knowledge

Its depressing to watch it in this state, doubly so when you're on the receiving end of this kind of malice

I mean thats the charitable outlook, I personally think its them hoping that if they deny care enough people will give up trying to get help and learn to mask and / or kill themselves

if you wanna talk shibboleths, forcing trans people to risk assault and murder for two years just to get a crumb of inadequate healthcare certainly feels like one. The GICs have medicalised hazing rituals

Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 14/09/2026
I had a GIC quack tell me i was faking my dysphoria for having fears about using the women's facilities where I grew up, because it was UKIP heartland and multiple trans people had been assaulted there.

idk if its a conspiracy theory or what, but im certain that the push for foldable phones comes as a direct response to much improved durability of glass fronts on regular touch screens to push people to keep replacing phones every 2-3 years still. coz like is there any real benefit to it folding?

X is swamped with so much pro-AfD propaganda, the people staying there are ensuring those in their circle get bombarded by it. So 100% agreement, staying there *is* literally and directly enabling fascism.

Nick Wallis: this service set up to remedy deficiencies in provision is remedying deficiencies in provision! Also I found an unsupportive parent of a queer adult! I mean that’s literally it. Apparently that’s all you need to tear down trans healthcare in this country.

The BBC is institutionally bigoted, from top to bottom. This is what your TV license pays for, the manufacturing of consent for a genocide against trans people. Don't pay it.

much as the murder of Brianna Ghey mysteriously stopped being about the climate of transphobia in the UK and became about teen access to social media, the death of Jason Arday is, equally mysteriously, no longer about racism and is becoming about free speech in academia

Two-tier policing in the UK. Trans person is less than polite about the deceased Anne Widdecombe. Scottish Police investigate, contemplate charges. Loads of white media people harass a black person to the point where they kill themselves. Met Police declare this is not a police matter. #Arday
