Ah! Shame I would have been in the NL, otherwise I'd have offered to meet up :)

I prefer the express on Tritton Road, although the Holiday Inn on the wharf is also a solid pick :)

All I'm asking for is for you to be you. Keep existing. There are ways to make your life worth living, and no one can take that away from your hot-blooded hands.

If you need support, please reach out. Either to me, to a local trans support group or any ally you know. We cannot do this alone. 🧵5/6

there is nothing wrong with taking matters into our own hands.

You can transition at any age.

You can be your authentic self even if the legal systems wants to see you as a different person.

You can decide the hormones your body runs off without any doctors involvement. 🧵4/6

In these times, it is crucial that transgender people stay visible, stay noticeable (where safe to do so) and fight back. Non-compliance is the best way to cause systemic change, when fighting for the right to exist.

The NHS, Private and Legal systems have failed all of us; 🧵3/6

I have witnessed three attempted suicides over gender dysphoria in the last six years. It is an ever-expanding crisis, and only getting worse as the far-right turn their scapegoat to us.

The system is rapidly turning from ignorant to something near-genocidal. It is vile, and we cannot be quiet 🧵2/6

the one time I tried cycling in London, the superhighway was shut at Farringdon. What was meant to be a short, enjoyable journey ended up with me shaking as I ended up in Bank nearly being ran over by a lorry.

And I'm no inexperienced cyclist neither — I'm used to handling 70mph traffic!

the minutes of the October meeting between WellBN and SussexICB are chilling. Andrew Dodson from the Sussex side just openly saying patients will be “deprescribed,” that they’ll have no choice and won’t be allowed to talk to the team taking their healthcare away

Completely agree, although that just brought back a memory on when my friend from secondary school had an EXTREMELY severe bee/wasp allergy, however the doctors refused to prescribe an Epi because "bees and wasps are seasonal". He almost got stung walking to PE one day... fucking horrifying 😬
