Thought from a bruised and tired, increasingly irrelevant, trans elder: One of the simplest and most defiant things trans people can do right now is to keep on creating, making, dreaming, speaking and thinking … Hell shall pass, and our poetry, art, literature, faith, hope and love *shall* remain

I mention this because disagreement can be a "we" problem, if I'm interested and willing to negotiate your counterarguments. But disliking something is very much a YOU problem and I am never really interested in those. Without apologies, by the way. It's not my ministry.

Leaving aside the violence and slurs, etc of the NHS England trans thing, as well as the grim language of BBC News - WHICH IS HORRIBLE & DESTRUCTIVE - the new policy is CLOWN-CAR STUFF … utterly delulu in the NHS as it is now … one thing worse than a cruel policy? An impractical cruel one …

(Gen Ai autocorrect is epistemic violence of the highest order, btw. Grrr. Let’s pretend all my typos are a radical resistance strategy and not just me being too tired to fix it. Kthx.)
