Tonight there are going to be many trans individuals genuinely fearful for the future, again. People, once again, scared to seek treatment, scared of how they will be treated. This isn't some hypothetical debate. It isn't some fluffy, intangible, issue. People's lives are on the line, YET AGAIN.
One of the common arguments from so called "gender criticals", transphobes, is "what rights are trans people losing". The answer is so many. Just today we have seen in practice that trans people are being excluded from healthcare., to add to public spaces, education etc. It all costs lives.
As we have just seen with the NHS, as we have seen with EHRC "guidance", as we have seen with Labour's Section 28 2.0 for schools, as we see every damn day, transphobia is now policy, trans individuals rights are being removed. It is a cruel and inhumane attack against trans individuals all round.
I see the Times is going full on attack disabled individuals as scroungers and layabouts with no consideration for how PIP is not an "out of work benefit" and how for many it is essential support to actually work and live.
