It's disturbing to see the likes of @campbellclaret & others on TRIP pods refer to us as, "the trans issue" whilst my US trans friends are arming themselves, figuring out DIY HRT and spending all day on suic*de hotlines in a state of despair.....
I was 17 when I was kicked out of my family home.
I bought my own flat and had a career by 23.
Definitely wouldn't have been mature enough to make decisions about my own body until I was 25 though, right?
Transphobia is ridiculous.
If you are trans or non-binary and would like to talk about yourself, your community or anything related to transness, please let me know in the comments or send me a DM.

Y Muni in Pontypridd is holding a Trans Day of Remembrance event on Friday 15th November at 6pm.
They are looking for a couple of trans speakers to lead the event which will include a vigil and a showing of the film Joyland.
I went to a mainstream pride event today and it was the most sanitised, white washed, liberal nonsense I have ever known.
Won't be making that mistake again.
@Emmyjewel I was a tomboy too. Then I was super fem for a while. Didn't stop the dysphoria.
Turns out I was actually a dude. I'm transitioning as a 34 year old now having wasted half my life.
Even as an adult the hoops I've had to jump through are ridiculous.
You don't speak for us.

Medicine given to children must always be proven safe and effective first.

Let me explain why this decision was taken.

@TheTrawlPodcast I'm a little sad to see you so happy about the Labour government and not immediately holding them to account over the continuation of the Tories anti-trans culture wars nonsense. :(
In the midst of everything yesterday, I did unfortunately witness some homophobia and racism which is a shame because it was such a joyous day otherwise.
The fight has never been over, no matter what capitalism tells you about Pride no longer being a protest.....
I'm going to share this everyday single day this week:
A reminder that your local corporate Pride reserves 100s of free VIP tickets for it's capitalist sponsors and politicians, but expects you to pay almost £20 for entry.
Happy fucking Pride Month! 🏳️⚧️🌈
