Someone made an engagement map for TERF tweets

Y’all in the notes please be mindful when you say stuff like “it’s time to kill the British.” The people suffering the most from British transphobia are….British trans people.

^^^^^ for serious. British trans folks rarely get to transition at all, and when they don’t they’re often denied any social transition period. TERFs in the UK aren’t here to start laws against people in America, they’re trying and succeeding to kill off trans people in the UK. This really isn’t the situation to cram on the brits to look and feel better about yourself… the trans body count is tremendous over there. Please have some respect for the people actually effected.

Please do keep this in mind. As much as I find the anti-British memes funny, this is a genuine issue in the UK.

I’m a trans man in the UK, I’ve been on the waiting list to be diagnosed for just over 2 years now, and am expected to wait around another 2 years before I get my first appointment (if the wait time doesn’t increase). I will then wait around 2 more years (at the very least) for my second appointment, and if I’m very lucky and am diagnosed in that appointment (which is not guaranteed in the slightest), I’ll enter another waiting list to access healthcare. The service I’m in is considered around average. There are people waiting 6 years for their first appointment in other services, so I am incredibly lucky with my supportive family (in that I haven’t been kicked out or abused, parents still don’t respect pronouns or name) and I have good friends who respect me, as well as only waiting 4 years for a first appointment.

Maybe you could go private if you had the money, right? Go a similar route to trans people in the US? A diagnosis from a private practice can be rejected by your General Practitioner, and any referral you get for hormones or surgery can be completely dismissed, because you weren’t diagnosed by an NHS practice. You would likely have to go entirely private, which is not possible for thousands of trans people who rely on the NHS. This is an issue within the NHS and a completely lack of funding and training for trans healthcare, resulting in horrifically long wait time and difficult to access help, especially given doctors and surgeons have and are having their practices shut down because they aren’t considered proper by the NHS, despite being one of very very few who commit to this kind of work.

The transphobia in the UK runs far deeper than just tweets, and combining the aggressively transphobic attitude of a large portion of the population with the lack of healthcare due to wait times and difficulties with funding, you set up an incredibly difficult and dangerous position for trans people. Maybe this sounds like a bunch of complaints and nothing to people in the US, but people here are dying as a result of this. Please do keep this in mind when making anti-UK memes surrounding specifically transphobia.

also, our wait times for HRT have gone up to 6 years through the NHS.

^ a clarification, the state of trans healthcare is far more down to how the process is set up than funding. I had an entire appointment where they only asked me about my dead dads. I’ve had another being interrogated on my hobbies. One appointment was an hour of me being told to get a job.

Aside from totally wasting resources, clinics are also required to make trans people jump through unnecessary hoops and frequently add their own restrictions like “making nb people wait an additional 6 months” or “not allowing parents to transition”. Looking like you havent medically transitioned will also get you turned down for medically transitioning, as will making any attempt to medically transition without their approval. Some clinics require you to be in work, some require you to not have sex or relationships, some require you to have sex and relationships. I went to one clinic where the fact that I wore clothes from the men’s section was used as evidence that I am not transmasc. And god forbid you be ok with the fact that T will give you body hair, that just means you arent taling it seriously.

Honestly I have little doubt saying that their IS enough funding if the NHS moved to an informed consent model and that wait lists would drop to a few months. As it is people are just wasting time and money to be told no and then we jump on to the next waiting list so everyone else just starting out has to wait longer.

This has never been about money, it is about hurting and controlling us.

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book.  It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

IT DIDN’T HAPPEN THAT WAY IN LORD OF THE FLIES EITHER YOU JUST HAVEN’T READ IT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL IF EVER AND DON’T REMEMBER WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE GODDAMN BOOK

#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick

yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.

i read about this in rutger bregman’s human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you don’t want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

no outside force has access to ur thoughts

like dude i pinky promise that you and only you have access to ur lil noggin’s notes app
you also do not attract good or bad events just by thinking good or bad things ESPECIALLY IF U SUFFER FROM INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS

your head is a safe & secure place that only you have access to

trying to work out why you think the things you do is great, but sometimes ya just gotta accept it’s a chunk of meat built halfway between an ape and a god trying to act as a computational device and as a result sometimes it will just throw its proverbial arms up in the air and run naked screaming into a bowl of pasta.
