I've had an offensively lightweight word salad of a reply from my MP. Among the 'I welcome progress against transphobic bullying' (this is the basic standard I would expect from a sentient human, so fucking what?) anodyne crap, is the statement ' I am also encouraged that gender dysphoria is no longer considered a mental illness'.
Is this true? Being so unhappy with your body that you are prepared to undergo treatment that may well remove much of your sexual function is not considered a mental illness? Really??? If it isn't how the hell do sufferers access therapy?
I need to construct a reply to him, but I'd like him to engage his brain and not take immediate offence so need to simmer down a bit before writing it!
The probably agp twat is a conservative!
