Please tell.me that you have better sources in the UK than I, and that their recent transphobic swing didn’t make trans care harder to get and keep.
Comment on Delusions of a Protocol

And they use the threat of trans people getting government healthcare as a way to stop socialized medicine. They also use racism this way, and sexism, and homophobia, and xenophobia, and other reactionary ideologies. These things are directly connected, we can’t really ignore one to focus on the other.
Besides, we need to form a mass movement, and you can’t form a mass movement by telling minorities to shut up and wait their turn.
Also I might lose my healthcare in the next few months. It’s kind of fucking urgent?

Move to a civilised country and seek asylum because you’re persecuted in your country of origin.

This is complicated by the fact that the English speaking world isn’t safe, or won’t be for long. The UK is having its own wave of transphobic reaction which has spread to Ireland, Canada is being threatened with a trade war and being the 51st state, Australia got couped that one time by the CIA, and New Zealand is a hard place to get into since it’s basically the bunker nation for billionaires since COVID.
I might apply for asylum outside the English speaking world but that’s extremely challenging in lots of other ways. I’m cramming language lessons atm to give myself a chance if I am forced to flee, but it’s dire.
