dracofidus:

If anyone was wondering how Britain is doing transphobia wise… it’s BAD.

• The government backed down from a promise that trans people could self-identify instead of having to spend hundreds of pounds to send a complex dossier to a panel of judges who’ve never met you, who decide what gender you “really” are.
• A group of transphobic “feminists” are touring the country, holding meetings where they sit around and denigrate trans women in the name of “debate”
• The same group were invited into the Palace of Wesminster (parliament) and held a meeting there, where transgender people were (illegally) banned, and, in the heart of our democracy, dead named, misgendered, and called trans women “parasites” and not only did no newspapers report it, nothing has been done to oppose or condemn it, despite complaints.
• Trans people, and trans children, are being doxxed.
• The ceo of the UK’s biggest charity that supports trans and gnc kids and their families has had to call in the police because of the amount of hate crimes and threats she has received.
• Transphobic women are “self identifying” as trans to swim topless at men’s swimming sessions to protest laws that were passed 18 years ago, and which apparently are a threat to women.
• Yes, their aim is to rescind any legal protections transgender people have.
• The national press publish a transphobic article almost daily now.
• Transphobes flooded a government consultation on trans rights, pretending to be all kinds of people in order to sabotage our rights.
• It’s become almost impossible to source gel testosterone and nobody knows why (it took me visiting eight pharmacies in two cities to get just half my prescription)

It’s horrific.

Britain is a steaming trash fire and transphobia is rife.
