Incredibly important new study from Cal Horton @fiercemum.bsky.social - the first to look at England's post-Cass child/adolescent gender clinics. Dr Horton found patients and families are being actively harmed, with one young person describing appointments as "the worst thing I’ve ever experienced”.
I think I'm broken..
I just had to put the cheese back into the fridge, couldn't eat any more , 😭
Barely controlled chaos!
The #ducks are very excited
Hello! 😀
Yeah the "curating" of knowledge is shocking
Poster art for the animated TV series "She-Ra and the princesses of power"
Netflix is dropping #SheRa . A fantastic animated series that had great #LGBTQ+ representation and stories arcs.
Because of biggoted networks it got no love.almost no merchandising, and no real drive to bring it out DVD.
So pirate it!
Otherwise it's unlikely it will see daylight again
My toes now get cold 😭
Pity me!

Ooof Karl Marx spitting the truth! ❤️
Just out there showing how vile and bigoted you are huh?
The troll carried on attacking for 20 comments!
For the record studies show transwomen using estrogen as part of their transition to have breast cancer rates around 40 times above cis men, but still below cis women.
Life on tiktok:
Me:"Transitioning with estrogen means that yes we have to do lump check to monitor for breast cancer or breast cancer like all women with breasts should".
Trolls: " OMG why are you saying men mustn't check? Men get breast cancer too AKSHULLY! "

glad to see this "study" is being debunked, but I want to point out the double bind at work behind the scenes here: for years, anti-trans activists pointed to any increases as signs of "social contagion" (read: these kids aren't "really trans"). but then, if or when the numbers ever go down...
Hello!
9 month transitioning HRT assesment and check up soon!
And I finally have my POTs specialist appointment too!
Desperately need to buy more cold weather clothes, I'm only wardrobed for warm weather.
Needs more monies first! 😭

I'm glad I found other support in the physical world. The Reddit trans groups are dire.
So true!
Temperature is in the 30s.
Which means all my nail varnish has turned to gloop 😭

Look after yourselves in this heat!
And remember not all of us can function at 100% in extreme weathers like this.

Thanks, it's laughably incompetent of them.
I think it helps that I kinda expected them to do it too.
I'm feeling remarkably chilled about it.
But it's ok, they're going to reassess in a year to see if anything has changed ..
Absolute morons.

But then PiP reassessment time came around. And because the Pip funded adjustments compensated for the chronic illnesses impact, that means In their eyes that I don't need PiP anymore , because I can now manage 🤣
I'm still ill.
And without the PiP I can't afford the adjustments anymore ..genius.
Living in the UK is funny/bad sometimes.
I claim PiP support to help with the complexities of having a chronic illness.
And it's been great and made a huge difference, I could afford the things I need to compensate #pip #gov
Mentally I'm fine.
The constant media attacks from the UK gov and establishment are shit.
And it's hard to ignore them, but this is about survival and I plan on being around for a lot longer!
Starting to get more twitchy about my name, really do need to sort out why forever name.

Almost 3 months into my HRt ❤️
Skin is getting softer, and I have breast growth(and painful buds!).
I can't believe the number of times I bump them into things😭
Am moisturising a LOT more!
Not encountered any #terfs or arseholes out in the wild yet, which is nice.
