TRANS HEALTH MANIFESTO

I'm choking on my porridge. This Trans Health manifesto is...just...gosh.

I've only skim read it but they don't seem to have included Female Genital Mutilation on their list of bad things done to bodies. Interesting!

We demand an end to capitalist & colonialist “medicine”.

Then on the very next line:

We demand hormones & blockers are made available over-the-counter and by free prescription

Who do they think makes these hormones and blockers?

They can't - surgeons are already very carefully walking a line when just doing repair work, let alone re-modelling someone's vulva into a faux penis. Because it's a cultural practise, it's had to be outright banned, as getting a girl and her parents to tell a court that she wanted it done would't be a problem.

Perhaps the only sensible thing in the manifesto!

We demand the right to multiple surgeries, including reversal of previous surgeries if desired, so that we do not have to fear regret.

Oh right. Hmm

The comments were great though. I liked this one:

“We want things and we want them now and for free and also give us your things and DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO MOM”

We will have full, historical accountability for the abuses perpetuated against us in the name of ‘healthcare'.

This part made me think of kids like Jazz Jennings. I hope they do get full accountability for what's been done to them. Although that's the exact opposite of what this tranifesto's thinking of.

"We demand hormones & blockers are made available over-the-counter and by free prescription upon request. We need free, universal access to safe hormones & blockers at any age, the opportunity to decide our own doses, and universally accessible information on the safety & efficacy of different regimens. We are already taking hormones in this way, so this demand is simply that the danger of doing so is effectively mitigated"

But if they are going to decide their own doses, how will they know it is safe.

Blockers are not necessarily safe!

Perhaps it isn't real. We have been taken in before. But the cultish burning righteousness is in line with their views on punching women.

Cunts.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 21/09/2017 01:19

Is this really real?

Christ on a fucking plane.

Actually, I'm not sure about the kitten thing.
It might seem to be puppyphobic

MaximilianNero · 21/09/2017 00:34

These are all very knee jerk 'terfy' responses to what is a very modest and humble list of asks. It's important to interrogate the origins of your empathy based phobia of rapists/murderers! A careful examination of your inbuilt prejudice against transformative violence and research grants, followed by a reread of this glorious manifesto, will surely change your minds.

Polly is right though, it would definitely benefit from free kittens.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 21/09/2017 00:32

Absolute raving madness, every last word of it

Isn't it just?

tygr's post made me snigger.

We demand medical training to enable us to safely carry out medical procedures & research for each other

Not sure anyone is stopping this. Isn't that called going to medical school?

Is this for real?! I'm tired and bog eyed so can't read and digest it all.

It's like barbietransken took some acid then went on supermarket sweep!

Free dermabrasion? You couldn't even get muesli round here until last year (stolen from Pat and Margaret slightly)!

SentimentalLentil · 21/09/2017 00:01

I love how they've just claimed a load of systematic violence against women to be violence against trans people. ConfusedHmm not sure many women in northern Ireland would agree that abortion is a trans issue to be honest.

HelenaDove · 21/09/2017 00:00

YY Buttery and in line behind childfree by choice women and women who dont want any more children who want to be sterilized.

MissHavishamsleftdaffodil · 20/09/2017 23:57

Mmn. This is the same group who tweeted on 14th September

'We must be radically and transformatively violent' and 'may our violence liberate us from the abuses of power, let our violence be freeing and revolutionary, let our violence be a force for good'

They want to get rid of all governments but want free healthcare ?????

That's the ravings of a full on lunatic right there.
