I’m really wondering about the future of trans health care in the UK. I can understand the need for clinical trials and it’s a real shame they haven’t been done yet, but what is being done about the excessive wait times for people to even get an assessment?

    Haven’t we been giving puberty blockers to children with precocious puberty for a while now? Doesn’t that cohort represent a much larger clinical study than trans children?

    But we all know why they’re doing this. Not exactly a mystery.

      Well, they actually care about cis kids. Trans kids can just fuck right off.

      It’s so frustrating. I just want to live my life in peace, why are trans people constantly in the news, why are we constantly targeted 😭😭😭

      Yes; this is especially annoying because there is evidence, and it’s good, but motivated gatekeepers have put the goalposts roughly into the orbit of Pluto.
