Maybe we need to make some space to have conversations about the way that rigid gender expectations can hurt people. I'm not talking about trans people, exclusively (in fact the trans people I know are among the most sophisticated when it comes to processing these kinds of events and emotions)

No, where I see a lot of unprocessed trauma flailing around putting everyone in a bad way is from cis people who have unexamined psychological harm due to their failure to conform to some gender norm. 1/

@futurebird You should have him try a bahama mama. It has three kinds of rum in it and I don't even know what kinds of juice. It's tropical and fruity, and with as much alcohol as is in it, definitely not a drink for the weak of liver.

I always joke that it's my sobriety test. If I can pronounce it, I'm still sober. :blobfoxsip: :blobfoxsipglare: :blobfoxsipowo: :blobfoxwhoaa:

Bearing in mind that per the last census, transgender people make up ~0.5% of the UK population from memory ...

@Natasha_Jay It is dead last in the poll, which tells you that any conversation had on this topic by a politician is well beyond the interests of their constituents. Their constituents would rather they discuss and take action on those top items and are likely happy to never hear about us in the realm of politics.
