Naomi 💛🤍💜🖤

So. Asking for advice.

How do I prepare for this?

First Appointment Date! So I got an email last night - and it's to set up my first appointment as part of the diagnosis process! Not only that - it's next Monday!! I'll need one appointment with an associate, then one appointment with the doctor, then hopefully on to an endocrinologist. Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com I didn't expect the turnaround from email to appointment to be so fast...

Dear Naomi (surname), Thank you for your iForm which we received on 12 August 2025. Your customer reference is (censored). Your online submission reference is (censored). I apologise for the delay in replying to you. Thank you for getting in touch, and I’m really sorry for the frustration caused by the issue with our online form. I’ve updated your records to reflect your new name as Naomi (surname), with no middle name. You won’t need to take any further action on this — your details are now correct. I understand how confusing it must have been to be required to enter a middle name when you no longer have one. I’ve passed your feedback to the team responsible for maintaining our online forms, so they’re aware of the problem and can look into improving the design to avoid this happening again. Thanks again for raising this — it helps us make things better for everyone.

Nice when official bodies are lovely in emails about (minor) issues you had 😊

This landmark text sets new standards in all areas of life, most importantly ending unnecessary medical interventions on intersex children.

Great news - have contacted my mp to advocate for implementation in domestic legislation.

Intersex people are treated awfully by society, and in particular the uk should ban nonconsensual surgery to fit intersex children into the binary, immediately.

I think particularly in well meaning cis progressive circles, it feels like it would be too easy for it to just become "we dislike the Bad People" rather than engage with what their victims actually need

I'm not fond of the term TERF.

I don't have a coherent reason why. It just sounds deeply silly maybe?

I tend to default to "transphobe", which at least explicitly mentions the type of people being victimised.

Evidence‐based medicine has three pillars: (i) appraisal of research evidence, (ii) real‐world clinical expertise, and (iii) individual patient values and preferences. The Review's failures across all three are evident. Clinician and researcher self‐awareness of personal values is essential for evidence‐based medicine practice. Non‐financial conflicts of interest should be disclosed; for example, religious, cultural, and so‐called “gender‐critical” beliefs. The Review acknowledges no such considerations, and does not disclose the positionality of authors.

The new Aussie critique of the Cass Review does not pull its punches about its failures, & makes the point that "gender-critical beliefs" should be declared.

Since transphobes have made so much of having these protected by law, they should be required to declare them.

🫂💜 trans only spaces *really* help

Between those on average the "tranny" bit is sorted tbh

You need a signaller, some permanent way engineers, a maintenance crew and a train driver

This tit tried to go swimming but left her swimsuit by the front door rather than bring it, so had to go home without a swim feeling rather embarrassed...

Was the once weekly trans only group too, I was really looking forward to that

Just finished Lords of Uncreation by @aptshadow.bsky.social - fantastic end to a great series, especially loved Olli's arc

It would take me ten years to get a first appointment for gender healthcare if I waited for the NHS.

Wow apparently my employers workforce is 90% male. (My office is 75%)

Your sense of style goes from yes to Yes

Oh I adore this look on you 😍

I do believe that currently I desire to be, and feel, desired more than I actually desire sex itself - but I definitely do experience sexual feelings, desire, attraction, fiercely so.

It is so difficult to find one's own sexuality when it is not the one the patriarchy says one should have.

How do I separate what I want from what I'm told I want? Is fed to me incessantly?

I don't even 100% know what genitals I want, leave me alone society!
