I’ve kept my account fairly pseudonymous, no pictures and not too much detail. This horrific thread from Stella isn’t even one of the reasons for this, because this awful behaviour wasn’t even on my radar as a possibility
I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.
I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

An hour late due to being in pub but happy new year and all that. 2025 had a generally shit vibe, so here’s to the year to come

I socially transitioned 3 months after my referral, started HRT 9 months after that. Maybe 5-10 years until my first appointment at current rates?
Don't forget to consult your named cis expert for help living in role! It's not like you'll have had 31 years of experience with it by the time you reach the top of the list.

I got a sewing machine and am learning to sew. Oh, and I started sticking estrogen patches to my butt
Trans folks, I would be absolutely *thrilled* if you would tell me something great that happened to you this year.

Why did you transition, wrong answers only
I work in a male dominated field, and wanted to improve the gender balance

I took a long, hard look at my life and decided my interactions with men weren't terrifying enough.

It’s a rare uk win that our cheap HRT scheme is use agnostic. I presume the newspapers are aware and will launch a war against that fact at some point
🚨 New records released under FOI show the Department expect pharmacists to question trans people to access the free HRT scheme.
"Pharmacists will be able to query" despite the PCRS acknowledging "it would be practically very difficult to identify the reason people are using specific products".

Went to see some Diane Arbus photography yesterday. Felt really uncomfortable and self conscious whenever someone got too close while I was looking at a picture of a gnc person

supporting trans women in domestic and sexual violence services just broke my heart.

The Peggie reporting really does show that 1) the media is inherently transphobic and 2) they really will take the contents of press releases issued by anti-trans organisations as factual, despite the spin having been revealed again and again, eh

The idea the EQUALITY ACT makes illegal trans inclusive practices that pre date it is so farcical it's scary and yet that's the reality apparent to the supreme court
The WI has been trans inclusive since the 70s, before I was born. Do you see who in this scenario was innocently minding their own business, coming to their own arrangements locally? Do you see who is forcefully imposing themselves and their demands upon others, via threats.

@sophiedancer.co.uk would you mind if I asked you a somewhat random question? I don’t know anything about ballet, but I’m tempted by the production of The Red Shoes that’s on in London at the moment. Do you happen to know if that’d be good for an unknowledgeable neophyte?
