I want to emphasize that no matter how much I post about the difficulties of being trans, it’s worth it.

It’s worth it to be trans, and it’s worth it to pay the financial cost and it’s worth it to be “out” even in a world that doesn’t want you

It’s worth it. It is.

...I reach the point this morning where I go 'fuck I need hormones' and then I see Dr Beth Upton being forced out of her job and harrassed in top story national news.

Like. The fuck am I supposed to do?

...yet still feel deep connection to all the egg posts, yearning to be as beautiful and confident as all the other trans women I see online living their truths, and admiring the women and their outfits I see on my commute wishing that could be me...

Cannot explain how difficult it is trying to come to terms with your gender identity right now.

I've reached a point of dysphoria where I'm so numbed to existence, having to present 'male' and feeling apathy towards my gender and that I'm a fraud or imposter for suggesting I could be a woman...

This is the reality for trans people in the UK

You could end up the victim of a harassment campaign with your name and face in the papers for GOING TO WORK, then when they effectively bully you out of your job, they continue their harassment

This is fucking vile
I feel so sorry for her

When you’re a UK trans woman, you roll invisible dice every day before work. All sixes, and a coworker with billionaire money will take your employer to court over you, you will be on the news, and when you leave the country, men with abuse allegations against them will call it a victory for women.

"She also suggested "unrealistic images and expectations on social media" had misled children", the "unrealistic image" being that you can transition and have a happy and long life, but since Cass sees every transition as a failure she doesn't believe that is possible

she is the poem by june bates

I don't love women
the way men love women.
I don't want to tame them.
I don't want to own them.
I don't want to treat them
like a trophy in a case.

I just want to be close to them.

It's still hunger,
but a different kind of hunger

-I almost didn 't recognize it at first.

80% of Mumsnet users do not intend to vote Reform.

But @lbc.co.uk is dedicating an entire hour on how "mumsnet users are turning to Reform"

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.*

People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.
