I cannot empahsise this enough; I am just some dickhead. If you have experience living in the world as a trans person and a baseline level of intellectual curiosity about the world you have the same qualifications to do this stuff I do.
If there are three things I want to impress on everybody who reads anything I write they are:
* It's about power
* Don't take fascists at face value
* I am literally just some dickhead
* It's about power

@sasha98.bsky.social provides analysis of just how precarious and inconsistent access to trans healthcare on the NHS has become. They highlight how official guidance has favoured giving hostile and nervous clinicians excuses, rather than empower or expect them to provide good care standards.

Some people seem to think all writing should be done like this. They are wrong. It is fun and interesting to write with different things that are and are not allowed sometimes though.

Also any MPs who want their claims to give a shit about trans people to be taken seriously, you could do worse than to stand up in Parliament and directly ask the government about this.

Ask him why he thinks it's ok to continue asking a group who think blocking childline access, refusing rape crisis counselling, putting chilli sauce in make up and promoting DIY conversion therapy guides for their thoughts on trans healthcare.

To be absolutely clear on this, one of our volunteers received a letter from a cabinet minister acknowledging the contents of the Discord leaks, including comments talking about serious abuse. The government knows exactly who they are including in these consultations.

Ngl, it doesn't feel awesome that so much discourse about policies designed specifically to hurt trans people is about the negative effects it might have on some cis people.
Not cos it's not bad that it will have broader incidental effects but because it should be enough that it will hurt us.
