Transitioned 17 years ago now & like all I only regret not doing it sooner. 57 but still under guarantee. Asexual & Lesbian.
Lots of hobbies but don't spend not enough time on any of them. Miss not having a garden.
Atheist & Tea drinker
WTF, do these people never learn!!
My heart breaks for my American friends across the pond, their alternative to the Republicans is a return to the same mistakes that led to Trump and Project 2025.
It is actually a good thing to keep shitty people from positions of power.

What scares me as a Brit the other side of the pond, is that Brexit means we no longer have the EU protecting us from a lot of America's low food standards coming to our shores.

He basically wants to be the centre of every story... if only we could persuade him the hero always dies.🙄

The problem is most people will only hear the 'questioning' part and not see anything wrong with that, only to then show no interest to who is asking those questions and their motives.
It worked with us trans people & it can work with abortion rights as it only takes a few people in power.

Oh yeah I wouldn't do this else where without others going in with me. 😞
This was a shared space during day time at a pub I know.

My dad managed 94 so if I can get close to that then most of arseholes will have turned to dust. Just hope I'm well enough to dance on a few graves.

Yep and it will no doubt happen again with my bladder.
I still don't understand why they are even male & female when they are all the same and the waiting space is mixed. 🤷‍♀️

Is this factual is the low bar all media should be forced to abide by or be pulled.
How you stop media becoming captured by extreme right view is another more complex issue but just holding them to the facts would be a start.

Consult went well, although places with hills always kills me growing up on a flat city island like Pompey.😊
Tina still thinks all is not lost so dilating with Trimovate cream every night for 5 weeks. Surgery would probably not be this year so there's nothing to lose & much to gain. x

Thanks ❤️
The frustration is that a cure is some quick surgery but getting to that point is just delay after delay.
Speaking of delays, fingers crossed for the trains in a mo. 😊

Thanks x
Train trip to Nuffield Hospital in Wimbledon, not been there before so I'll make it a bit of a day out.

For those who don't know, after 13 happy years I'm having problems with my surgery with some bleeding from granulation that refuses to heal. I stay positive but after a year it can be tough. From gym & indoor climbing to planning how much a walk is going to cost in pain & blood.

Terms like pregnant person came about to be more inclusive for people like trans men who can still give birth, it was in no way meant to replace pregnant woman just add to the options.
It's just another version of the lie that if you give rights to one then another must be losing out.

Also lying about public support & how they will win out eventually because of it.
He reminded me of the right wing trans people who will destroy everything to get their own way. Everything about this episode had familiar overtones about it.

As trans person I couldn't but notice this guy was like a blueprint of every transphobe & their tactics I have ever known.
Quoting references but lying about their findings. Promoting the undermining of anyone who doesn't hold their point of view, framing it as a danger.
November 9, 2025 at 10:16 PM
Stage two was seeing us as an equal, deserving of rights.
A tactic we see used today in the framing of giving rights to some must mean a loss to another.🙄

Stephen Miller is the real President and head of Project 2025, Trump, GOP, Republican Party are all secondary to this crusade.

Yep changes in hormone levels are fun 🙄
I've not used patches but they should be ok just got to get the blood levels good all over again every time they make a change.
Came off Progesterone recently & my legs were on fire & itchy, not been like that since I was a kid. Fun times.
