I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

Every time I see an American claim that trans people kill their own support, I think about how in the UK, self ID polled majority support until the media attacked it.
When Labour accepted self ID should die, we were told to let them win, it would get better. Now we have a bathroom ban.
Fuck you.

They apparently took all of the wrong lessons from the wildly successful gay rights movement, choosing to be as alienating as possible. I won't be surprised if it ends up like abortion and 20 years from now public opinion is effectively frozen on the issue somewhere around 50/50.

This, right here! Both voting for these Democrats and abstaining from voting for them has significant risks and instead of spending their time yelling at us (and never at the politicians doing transphobia), cis people should maybe grapple with the fact that they've put us in a no-win situation.

It really hasn't dawned on liberals that for trans people in some races, there is no meaningful difference between who wins. Kansas and North Carolina have Dem governors and they're some of the worst for trans people in the country.

Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough:
“The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”

This tells me that trans health care in the UK is deliberately governed to keep numbers down and when a clinic caters to the actual needs of its trans patients, then it is attacked by activist journalists and politicians under the smokescreen of 'safety concerns'.
Wales Gender Clinic cancelling surgeries for trans people has made the front page of the Sunday Times and needed three (3) cis journalists to write it.
Oddly, they actually quote trans people (lifted from Reddit)
Oddly, they actually quote trans people (lifted from Reddit)
![The NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC), which represents all seven health boards in Wales and is responsible for commissioning NHS adult gender services in Wales, met on Monday to discuss WGS’s high referral rates. The decision to suspend operations and pause referrals was made on Friday.
David Fluck, executive medical director at Cardiff and Vale University health board, which is responsible for WGS, said that NWJCC had asked the board to “pause referrals for gender affirming surgery and scheduled surgeries through the Welsh Gender Service while an independent clinical review is undertaken”.
He added: “The pause applies specifically to referrals for gender affirming surgery, surgical assessments and surgery. Other elements of care provided by the Welsh Gender Service, including hormone therapy support, endocrine review and psychological support services, continue to operate and are not affected by this decision.”
NHS Wales said that the action followed “concerns [that] have arisen from referral data from 2025-26 indicating significantly higher rates of referral for gender affirming surgery from the Welsh Gender Service compared with English gender services”.
About 17 per cent of the 4,900 referrals for genderrelated surgery across the UK in 2024 and 2025 came from the Welsh Gender Service despite Wales representing less than 5 per cent of the UK population.
After the decision was made to pause surgery in Wales some patients received the news hours before they were due to undergo operations.
“My partner’s top surgery [to remove breasts] was cancelled with less than 12 hours warning. We’re devastated. We had accommodation booked and medical leave arranged and everything,” one message read on the TransgenderUK page of Reddit on Thursday.
Another user of the social media forum wrote: “Girlfriend just had a call to cancel her surgery. It was tomorrow. Everyone is cancelled no matter how far along you got.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyefpiziml7b24sxpd74axq7/bafkreihyhndcsu5tnzuagd2fnfb3rvhc2ycnk3wctxxmac3bntv5cjpaiu)
