people can’t afford basic groceries, old people are afraid to heat their houses in winter, but the UK gov think trans people are the most pressing issue in this country? give it a rest
It wasn’t wrong because she was in the room. The fact that her mother was present highlights how wrong that language is ALWAYS.
I think this might actually be a watershed moment of some people finally understanding how cruel transphobia is.

trans women aren’t causing poverty for 14 million people in the uk
trans women aren’t making NHS waiting lists so long that people are having avoidable deaths
trans women aren’t making the cost of living so expensive that premature deaths will rise by 6.5% this year
trans women aren’t encouraging children to be trans
trans women aren’t wasting billions of tax payers money
trans women make up roughly 0.1% of the population and are usually just trying to blend in and live peacefully. let’s stick to the facts.
i used to feel a little bit bad for hating tories because maybe they just don’t understand but nah if you’re supportive of the tory party at this point i’m happy to say you’re just a piece of shit
For me the best part Glasgow's Pride march was walking behind two incredibly butch Glaswegian lesbians who spent it by shouting "look at my gorgeous trans son" pointing to a young trans man marching topless in a kilt.
Twitter discourse just doesn't match up with reality does it?
nobody is performing “sex change surgeries” on “CHILDREN”, the daily mail should be shut down for repeatedly spreading transphobic misinformation
these are performed on YOUNG ADULTS who are old enough to consent to their own medical care (not children)
The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.
The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.
"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.
However...
Let's address that 0.3%.
Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:
👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.
Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.
The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.
Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.
it should be illegal to spread bullshit like this, my mum has people her age trying to question ME because they read stuff like this and believe it…
no, kids aren’t requesting cat littler boxes in classrooms because they identify as cats. no, doctors aren’t doing this.
