Simple question.

Complex answer.

Transitioning 10 years ago undeniably made me happier. It saved my life, no doubt.

But am I happy now?

Trans people's happiness has a different baseline than cis people's which makes this such a difficult question.

One cannot help but answer it in a comparative way.

Yes I am happy compared to when I was a female-presenting suicidal borderline alcoholic, but am I as happy as the kind of casual cis dads I see at school pickup laughing and joking effortlessly as if they've got no worries?

I don't think so.

What's made me think about this is an encounter at the weekend with an ex boyfriend from highschool.

I was at the beach with my wife and kids watching the sunset when some douchebag on a jetski ruined the tranquility. This always makes me rage. Eventually when he came to the shore and we recognised each other and had a chat, the juxtaposition of my rage and his joy couldn't be clearer.

Like why aren't I able to be a carefree dude speeding along the shore not caring that it's fricking annoying? Why does the thought never occur to me to buy a fricking jetski, trailer and truck without thinking that money would be better off saved for my kids' future? Is it a hangover of female socialisation?

Anyway TLDR, trans folk of rdrama.net: are you happy?

Reminds me of old school anarchy before it's mainstream appropriation of censorship-loving, banhammer-ready, power-hungry antifa and anarchocommunist r-slurs.

Real anarchists are hard to find (especially those of individualist and nihilist varieties as they don't virtue signal) and I believe some would fit like a glove in rdrama.

@X @ACA can any of you hand out some invites? (or don't whatever I'm not telling you what to do )

first the gays was the frickin devil but then s came along n madr the gays look normal af. then the s was the devil n nothing could be worse than bein yrans. but then ofc the wingcycks came along n made it worse. we dont have any transes in my hood but I would rather be a trans than a wing cuck. wingcucks arguin about trump vs bide. like trumps n budens both not felons. lmao. meanwhile while all ts goin on I still vant vite even if I wanted too.

why are ftm so rare?

I mean, you hear "transgender" and you instantly know they're talking about a hulking behemoth, you don't wonder if they're talking about pooners, you KNOW it's a linebacker in a dress

anywhere online you go, it's 99% mtf.

Just before parliament was dissolved on 30 May, the health secretary Victoria Atkins introduced an immediate ban for trans young people using puberty blockers prescribed by regulated prescribers in France, Germany, Switzerland and throughout Europe.

The consequences are profound.

A medicine that young trans people have used for decades, that is lawfully prescribed throughout Europe, that is recommended by decades-old international treatment protocols, that cis people can continue to use, and the NHS can continue to prescribe to young trans people if they have already started, will no longer be available. In fact, it will become a criminal offence for those caught by the ban to possess it, punishable by up to two years in prison.

The Cass report has been widely criticised – by the trans community, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, by the Endocrine Society and by the American Academy of Pediatrics – for its conclusions. But even the Cass report contemplates continued use of puberty blockers to treat trans people.

The ban also bypassed the normal requirement for consulting a statutory committee to protect the public interest. And introducing it shortly before parliament rose meant that parliament could not scrutinise it either.

Its results are predictable – and terrifying.

We have heard from a well-placed whistleblower inside the NHS that, in the seven years before the decision in the Bell case (concerning the use of puberty blockers), one person using Gender Identity Development Services lost their life. The NHS reacted to that decision by introducing immediate, heavy restrictions to NHS services for young trans people. And it did not lift them when the decision was overturned in the Court of Appeal. We have been informed that in the three years following the decision 16 people lost their lives. We have contemporaneous evidence that this concern was raised at the time and the whistleblower believes senior management took a decision to suppress evidence of the deaths. We put these allegations to the Tavistock, we know it received them, but it has failed to respond.

This ban closes off the only route to treatment left open by the restrictions on treatment in the NHS. Atkins's shockingly callous decision is likely to lead to further deaths of young trans people. We have received many emails from desperately worried parents.

Trans Actual CIC, working with Good Law Project, has instructed Russell-Cooke solicitors and senior barristers David Lock KC, Jason Coppel KC and Rob Harland to advise on a legal challenge to the regulations. So we're taking the first formal step in urgent legal proceedings against Atkins.

"Me and who" posters will be shot on sight.

From a section of a book about drugs Hitler was taking. Chudcels will say it's fake anyways.
