Someone made an engagement map for TERF tweets

[mentalgearsolid]

Y’all in the notes please be mindful when you say stuff like “it’s time to kill the British.” The people suffering the most from British transphobia are....British trans people.

[britnxyspears]

^^^^^ for serious. British trans folks rarely get to transition at all, and when they don't they're often denied any social transition period. TERFs in the UK aren't here to start laws against people in America, they're trying and succeeding to kill off trans people in the UK. This really isn't the situation to cram on the brits to look and feel better about yourself... the trans body count is tremendous over there. Please have some respect for the people actually effected.

[ethanoic-acids]

Please do keep this in mind. As much as I find the anti-British memes funny, this is a genuine issue in the UK.

I’m a trans man in the UK, I’ve been on the waiting list to be diagnosed for just over 2 years now, and am expected to wait around another 2 years before I get my first appointment (if the wait time doesn’t increase). I will then wait around 2 more years (at the very least) for my second appointment, and if I’m very lucky and am diagnosed in that appointment (which is not guaranteed in the slightest), I’ll enter another waiting list to access healthcare. The service I’m in is considered around average. There are people waiting 6 years for their first appointment in other services, so I am incredibly lucky with my supportive family (in that I haven’t been kicked out or abused, parents still don’t respect pronouns or name) and I have good friends who respect me, as well as only waiting 4 years for a first appointment.

Maybe you could go private if you had the money, right? Go a similar route to trans people in the US? A diagnosis from a private practice can be rejected by your General Practitioner, and any referral you get for hormones or surgery can be completely dismissed, because you weren’t diagnosed by an NHS practice. You would likely have to go entirely private, which is not possible for thousands of trans people who rely on the NHS. This is an issue within the NHS and a completely lack of funding and training for trans healthcare, resulting in horrifically long wait time and difficult to access help, especially given doctors and surgeons have and are having their practices shut down because they aren’t considered proper by the NHS, despite being one of very very few who commit to this kind of work.

The transphobia in the UK runs far deeper than just tweets, and combining the aggressively transphobic attitude of a large portion of the population with the lack of healthcare due to wait times and difficulties with funding, you set up an incredibly difficult and dangerous position for trans people. Maybe this sounds like a bunch of complaints and nothing to people in the US, but people here are dying as a result of this. Please do keep this in mind when making anti-UK memes surrounding specifically transphobia.

[pelontriques]

also, our wait times for HRT have gone up to 6 years through the NHS.

[eroticcannibal]

^ a clarification, the state of trans healthcare is far more down to how the process is set up than funding. I had an entire appointment where they only asked me about my dead dads. I've had another being interrogated on my hobbies. One appointment was an hour of me being told to get a job.

Aside from totally wasting resources, clinics are also required to make trans people jump through unnecessary hoops and frequently add their own restrictions like "making nb people wait an additional 6 months" or "not allowing parents to transition". Looking like you havent medically transitioned will also get you turned down for medically transitioning, as will making any attempt to medically transition without their approval. Some clinics require you to be in work, some require you to not have sex or relationships, some require you to have sex and relationships. I went to one clinic where the fact that I wore clothes from the men's section was used as evidence that I am not transmasc. And god forbid you be ok with the fact that T will give you body hair, that just means you arent taling it seriously.

Honestly I have little doubt saying that their IS enough funding if the NHS moved to an informed consent model and that wait lists would drop to a few months. As it is people are just wasting time and money to be told no and then we jump on to the next waiting list so everyone else just starting out has to wait longer.

This has never been about money, it is about hurting and controlling us.

Sir Edward Burne-Jones, School For Dragon Babies, 1884, pencil on paper

[ponqo]

i can’t believe you posted this without posting the sequel!

[a-book-of-creatures]

It gets better and better

[rionsanura]

Oh my god. This is the same Sir Edward Burne-Jones, the famous Pre-Raphaelite painter who in the extra-dramatic BBC series about them, was played by Peter Sandys-Clarke, whose oeuvre is more usually represented by this kind of stuff:

It’s that Sir Edward Burne-Jones. Who drew all the dragonbabies at school. I’m.

A guest looking at the timber rattlesnake in the reptile exhibit: Do the snakes have names?

Me: (Launches into my speech about how No, they don’t even though the nonvenomous snakes do, because they’re wild animals and dangerous to handle. The reptile keeper is wary of over-familiarity becoming carelessness, so we don’t give them names as a mark of respect and a reminder of caution.) You can call them anything you want though!

Guest: Oh… That makes sense. I was going to say this one’s name should be Justin. You know, Justin Timbersnake?

Me: I am going into the reptile room this second and asking him to change the name policy

[morphegus]

real talk something i have to keep learning and i think a lot of you guys are like me: your friends shouldnt be intimidating. if you see all of your friends chillin in a discord vc, dont just sit there and think damn they are all hanging out without me theyre playing games without me they dont want to talk to me. just join the vc homie. if they didnt want you to talk to them they would privatly call. if u wanna play a gane and nobody has asked u to play a game that just means u can be the one to ask to play a game. a majority of the time ur friends are not sitting there thinking about how much they dont want to hang out with you

[morphegus]

also its ok to be the one to initiate all conversations. i love talking to my friends but its not on my mind 24 hours a day. if someone sends me a message im like oh yeah my cool friend who i like messaged me we get 2 talk now

the rubber duck

[arsonistblue]

For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it. 

It’s also very useful for writers, and I’ve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.
