I'm sure it was someone here who skeeted that The Muppet Christmas Carol shows the perfect way to deal with billionaires - just have everyone sing at them whenever they're outside:
"There goes Mr Asshole, there goes Mr Dick".

I really regret getting my GRC. The risk/benefit analysis at the time made sense, but boy did I never imagine we'd be where we'd be at today.
My main concern? Being on a list of transes! The HMRC, DWP, Police, DVLA all know who we are and all have open anti-trans SEEN networks.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

How do we solve these mega waiting lists for the gender clinics???
Just dont do the gender clinics and just have GPs prescribe hormones and refer for surgeries
Gender clinics exist to soothe scared cis people not to help trans people transition

The long-awaited Levy Review is out.
This is tinkering around the edges of a failing system.
Until trans people can access our healthcare based on informed consent, from the same doctors in the same communities as everyone else, issues will remain unsolved.

Our health secretary is so willfully ignorant about health in ways that are going to kill people.
Also pissed off at Steeting going off on "biological sex is immutable for screening and healthcare" in parliament, if ignoring that we very much should be treated according to our current anatomy and hormones, and that treating us as our birth assigned sex will cause serious healthcare failures.

You are going to kill even more trans people Wes, this is actually dangerous. HRT changes your biology, if you deny trans people appropriate screening and refuse to take account of the actual biological changes to their bodies, you will kill someone
