not nearly enough people are fuming about the cass review. do you understand the eventual implications? trans people in the uk will be considered children up until the age of 25, and denied HRT/surgery/even basic measures like legal name change and social transition. all owing to a biased and largely unscientific study. you know what “treatment” for gender dysphoria is recommended by the review instead? conversion therapy.
this will kill people and they know it, because they prefer us dead and out of sight. the government, the NHS and even the opposition have made this clear again and again. a twenty-five year old can have sex, get married have children, join the military, earn a living, be halfway up the corporate ladder or highly successful in their chosen career field by that age, but they can’t transition under NHS rules. this is a death sentence for trans teenagers and they are going ahead with it. it’s trans genocide, same as across the pond.
i’m so afraid for my trans siblings and our futures. i’m so scared for myself. what are we to do if not even the party that is supposed to be on the “left” gives a shit about our safety and mental health as long as they get voted in? labour have become tories with a red coat of paint. it all feels hopeless
It’s fucking horrible. Scientifically it’s absolute nonsense with the most ridiculously biased methodology possible, and it makes me feel fucking insane to see the way it’s being talked about and how it’s being used
I was 28 years old last year when my GP clinic was basically trying to use GUIDELINES MEANT FOR CIS CHILDREN to deny me HRT I had been on a wailist for for 7 years. I am fucking terrified of the way they will try to use this against all of us.
