Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 26/09/2026The 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 110
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 25/09/2026I 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 010
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 25/09/2026Its 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 120
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 25/09/2026Huh. So Bluesky's notification system just completely shits the bed after more that 50 notifications? This app is held together by duct tape and hope 000
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 25/09/2026the 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 030
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 25/09/2026Its depressing to watch it in this state, doubly so when you're on the receiving end of this kind of malice 161
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 25/09/2026I 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 1151

Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 14/09/2026if 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 010
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 14/09/2026I 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. 120
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 09/09/2026idk 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? 000

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. 02510
Lyra @8bitblackmage.co.uk · 02/09/2026The 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. 020

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 14114
