As Layla Moran said, some women have beards

Did she really say that? If it’s perfectly normal for women to have beards, they don’t need to have them removed then, do they? You can’t have it both ways!

This 'me, me, me' moaning is fantastic grist to the peaktrans mill, isn't it?

Pity the DM feels the need to include a recommendation to Mermaids in the article!

The women I know with PCOS related facial hair have to pay for private removal.

I wonder if this is some of the "basic healthcare" MM says transpeople are not getting on the NHS and why they should be centred Hmm

No wonder she is crying. Fancy the NHS prioritising cancer surgery over beard removal. The bloody bigots.

I have excess hair because of genetics and dodgy hormone levels. It has been a cause of distress to me since I hit puberty. My doctor said there was nothing to be done. I have been teased and mocked for it. I pay for my hair removal. I don’t see why this person shouldn’t either.

They really do think they are the most important people in the world

Don't they just.

Ffs I’ve been waiting for two years to have a hole in my heart that causes me to have mini strokes to be fixed and I’ve managed to wait without crying or heading off to the press.

I wonder what the waiting list is for older woman with facial hair?

Doyoumind · 03/01/2019 14:19

WTF. Women pay for their own hair removal. How can anybody be getting this on the NHS when funds are so limited.

Having to shave is LITERAL VIOLENCE.

Meanwhile, other people are having vital surgeries postponed, so diddums, really.
