I think a lot of cis allies genuinely do not realise just how bad is is/it's getting for trans people in the uk
so here's a little list:
- it's now impossible for under 16's to get blockers - waiting times for hormones on the NHS have doubled, some clinics being at 60+ months - self id is just not gonna fucking happen - the government is considering making non enrolled deed polls invalid, so there will be a public available list of every trans person (I don't have to tell you how fucking dangerous that is) - hate crimes have quadrupled - kier starmer has said he "doesn't want to get involved in trans issues" - not a single major political party supports trans rights - TERFs have now set their sights on adults access to hormones
some info about norther ireland:
- Northern Ireland has one gender clinic. For the WHOLE country - the waiting list is absurdly long and they're currently not even taking referrals - the adolescent gender identity service was disbanded because the one person in charge of it left - there are currently two doctors in the adult clinic, both of whom are at or nearing retirement age
i'd really appreciate it if you were to donate to the gender gp fund, it goes directly to providing healthcare to trans kids/teens
