The right support here is an informed consent model that monitors the child's progress. At current standards of care, a child would be an adult by the time they received any HRT or hell, saw the GIC. And at that point, it may already be too late. It certainly was for me.
Hi, I was an autistic trans child and am now an autistic trans adult.
Go fuck yourself with this condescending nonsense. I'm fully capable then as now of making my own decisions. I also have depression, trauma and social diff. for some reason. Probably being trans in a country that hates us.
Can I just say it's always been incredibly fucking creepy how GCs talk about the fertility of children? Like that other freak who talked about "young women's breasts that will never know a lover's touch" or some such bollocks.
Profoundly unnerving people.
We really need to stop pretending that some problems are new. I'm referring specifically in this case to a piece I keep seeing reposted about how Americans change their views on issues depending how a polling question is worded.
That's literally been a polling trick since the 80s at least.
So true. You're so brave bestie.
"You're not being reasonable" people continuing to be very normal about transpeople.
I was literally told by the GIC in London, against clinical norms (I think), "We think you're trans".
They proceeded to not give me hormones. Instead I was offered a support group. Instead of the hormones I asked for. Man, I got blisteringly angry just writing that.
I can't write or think about plots or muster up the will to do anything but mindlessly watch Youtube and sip my tea. It's been like this for days. I didn't suffer writer's block or blank page paralysis until this week.
Alas, my life is a dumpster fire :p I won't go into it but I am trapped by material need in my parents' house. Employment is an far off prospect.
Save me, mushroom people xD
They won't let me have it :<
ok cool so they literally are just doing Iraq again
"You're being liberated. Do not resist" energy.
It's something I observed myself while researching fascism. Hate comes in two varieties it seems; the ignorant and the neurotic. Neurotic hatred imo is way closer to a pathology. It's disordered thinking.
If Keir Starmer joins the USA in attacking Iran I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to the showrunners of reality. These recycled plotlines are worse than mine.
I'm in the UK, no you goddamn don't xD
Turns out, transphobia wasn't the vote-winning sensible centrist position.
"Sensible Centrists" STAY FUCKING LOSING!
Gorton and Denton is just one more nail in the coffin that appealing to the right wing as a centre-left party never works. Put your chest into trans rights, put your back into building public housing and get your fucking purse out for public utilities.
Hannah Spencer wins Gorton and Denton! Not only did the Greens won but Labour and Reform LOST.
"I will not accept a society where having more money gets you a longer life expectancy" - Hannah Spencer.
That's a promise.
Oh yeah, thanks Aly! I can tag the mushroom people story as TG because it technically is. Nobody ever said they had to transform into a HUMAN gender.
I think it's an example of how colossally I've failed at promoting my book that someone follows me and I'm like "not sure if for political views or book..."
In fairness, my book is laden with my political views :D The whole trilogy will be!

Election denialism because it's not going according to plan. Now where have we seen that before?
Oh they've been >>FUCKED<< fucked.
Manifesting the Greens utterly pulverising Reform and Labour so people finally see that left wing policy is actually, uhm, ~checks notes~ popular. It's fucking popular. Cater to lefties.
stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright
Can I just opine about how weird it is as a Brit to see you all venerating the founding fathers like we gas up the monarchy?
Except we actually arrest our monarchy when it does something wrong. OHHHHHHH!
A particularly angry transwoman might say "what has this society done but villainise and victimise me?" I never would because I rely on the state to live. But I can certainly think it since my dependence is an artefact of their bigotry.
Man someone should tell Keir.
I believe I said at one point that "trans people have reached the "if I go down I'm taking you with me" stage of activism". And BOY does the average political wonk deserve it.
Its also a much needed correction. Votes secured are votes that don't need pandering to.
Ayyyyy get fucked NYT.
Also going to add to the pile that boys would sexually assault me too for the crime of "being gay". I was gay, just not in the way they thought :L
