Healthcare should be there when you need it. No exceptions. Trans people deserve the same dignity, respect and access to care as everyone else.
Quote graphic. Headline reads: “When trust in healthcare is broken.”

Quote from Anthony Slaughter, Leader of the Wales Green Party:

“People had surgeries cancelled at the 11th hour, with no explanation or option to reschedule. These are people who had spent years preparing, both physically and mentally, for this life-affirming surgery.

In my own way, I was able to relate to that agonising wait. In the days leading up to planned surgery over recess, I underwent scheduled and serious surgery. You trust the system around you. For some, that trust has been broken.

What is important is that the voices and experiences of the trans community are amplified and understood. Gender-affirming healthcare saves lives. What this community needs now more than ever is decisive action, proof that their government will stand up for them and take the lead.”

A donkey, who in US symbolism typically represents a democrat or the democratic party, is standing in a doorway shaking a first at a woman wearing the colors of the trans pride flag and a black eye. She is slightly hunched and caring a bag. The donkey is shouting, in comic sans "Bitch you better not leave! What are you going to live in the streets and vote for nobody? You'll regret this! I'LL SEE YOU IN THE CAMPS BITCH!"

There's a hand written caption along the bottom reading "Vote Blue No Matter How Many Times He Hits You"

Alt text is making me crazy today, why can't we just attach it to a file? I'm spend more time describing this one frame over and over than I spent drawing it. Also the entry field keeps slipping behind my screen keyboard. 

Anyway the art is sloppy and rushed and I wished I'd included the phrase "I'm the best you'll ever have" into the donkey's rant.

In recognition of @lillywachowski.bsky.social telling off JKR, here's that one Matrix comic I did The estrogen is a metaphor for being trans
The Xanimatrix

The comic is a parody of the Matrix red pill/blue pill scene, with pre-transition Xan sitting across from Morpheus.

MORPHEUS: You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. 

XAN: Okay... um... the red pill represents transitioning, right? 

MORPHEUS: Yes. The red pill is estrogen.

XAN: That would be nice... I mean, I would like to be a girl. 

MORPHEUS: It would be extremely awesome. 

XAN: But... ugh. It's a big decision, you know? Do I have to decide now? 

MORPHEUS: That... would be most convenient for the plot, yes. 

XAN: What if I spend a decade or so in denial, and then I eventually do take the red pill, and also I regret not taking it now when I was first offered it? 

MORPHEUS: Okay, but why would you... I mean, you definitely want...

XAN: Is the red pill even covered by my insurance?

MORPHEUS: YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PROTAGONIST

“It is very appalling and sometimes quite frightening to see how trans-exclusionary feminists have allied with rightwing attacks on gender” Today is exactly 5 years since @theguardian.com censored the words of non-binary academic, Judith Butler. These are the censored words. Still valid now.
It is very appalling and sometimes quite frightening to see how trans-exclusionary feminists have allied with rightwing attacks on gender. The anti-gender ideology movement is not opposing a specific account of gender, but seeking to eradicate "gender" as a concept or discourse, a field of study, an approach to social power. Sometimes they claim that "sex" alone has scientific standing, but other times they appeal to divine mandates for masculine domination and difference. They don't seem to mind contradicting themselves.
The Terfs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) and the so-called gender critical writers have also rejected the important work in feminist philosophy of science showing how culture and nature interact (such as Karen Barad, Donna Haraway, EM Hammonds or Anne Fausto-Sterling) in favor of a regressive and spurious form of biological essentialism. So they will not be part of the coalition that seeks to fight the anti-gender movement. The anti-gender ideology is one of the dominant strains of fascism in our times. So the Terfs will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism, one that requires a coalition guided by struggles against racism, nationalism, xenophobia and carceral violence, one that is mindful of the high rates of femicide throughout the world, which include high rates of attacks on trans and genderqueer people.
The anti-gender movement circulates a spectre of "gender" as a force of destruction, but they never actually read any works in gender studies. Quick and fearful conclusions take the place of considered judgments. Yes, some work on gender is difficult and not everyone can read it, so we have to do better in reaching a broader public. As important as it is, however, to make complex concepts available to a popular audience, it is equally important to encourage intellectual inquiry as part of public life. Unfortunately, we are living in anti-intellectual times, and neo-fascism is becoming more normalized.
