A pair of slippers on the arm of a couch. They are in the likeness of a white man with a white beard, glasses, and his tongue sticking out. The writing on the inside of the slippers confirm his identity...it is Sigmund Freud. These are Freudian Slippers.

Ohmygod Ohmygod OHMYGOD! These slippers are in the top three best presents I ever got and I thought I'd lost them ages ago and I just found them and I'm giddy! Look at them!! When you wear them you can use your toes to make his tongue waggle!

Fucking hell, I needed this uncomplicated joy today.

I was one of the leaders of Scrap The Green Paper because I & my friends were suicidal after learning proposals for ~84% of disabled to be pushed into work

I've not recovered from pushing myself to fight it, nor my friends

I'm so broken & Humphreys wants a house in the park on our backs

A painting of the Pokemon Gengar, however its fur is in colours of the trans flag following the contours of its body. It is coming towards you, and has its mouth open in a wide toothy grin.

This morning I had inspiration, I now have a painting of the rarely seen Transgengar Pokemon.

I like to think that it's a Fighting/Fairy type.

I suspect "some" is doing some heavy lifting. Just by the number of towns and villages in the country you'd expect there to be a few by chance where the transaction volume is low.

To clarify the situation. The former NI Health Minister commissioned a review of gender services. That involved trans people and their families and concluded in April after almost 6 years. They made recommendations, which were going to be implemented, and asked for funding, which was allocated

I spent many years on the panel for the review of trans healthcare, that was only "completed" and we were discharged from that in April of this year, that was over five years for nothing and just a few months later they are at it again.

Trans women facing confusion over their eligibility under the free HRT scheme The Irish Pharmacy Union has said they are seeking clarity from the Department of Health on the issue

I spoke to several trans women who described the confusion they are facing over their eligibility under the free HRT scheme.

The legislation isn't clear, and the Department haven't provided a clear answer.

One person I spoke to said "we are used to fighting for everything".
