 There are things that trans people get asked a lot put hate in general. Here are the 2 things I hate personally when I get asked all the time. Are you boobs real/Have you had lower surgery (GRS)? Both men and women have asked me this online. I usually reply Are you real. Usually I don't get an answer back but lets put it another way. Would you ask a cis woman the same question? Would you ask that to my face. I would think the answer is no. So why ask a total stranger online? The same could be said about the lower part of my body. Total strangers have asked if I have had lower surgery. Sorry but it is none of your business if I have had or not. The only people who need to know that is myself and my partner if I have one. Using the wrong pronouns. This I really hate. I have been misgendered a lot. Though when I do correct them most people are apologetic and that's cool. One person I know keeps calling me him until I actually shouted at him in the middle of his pub to tell him I

Hi all Since coming out as trans last year I have been on a roller-coaster of a ride with my sexuality. The only thing I knew for certain is I was trans. During this time I have flipped flopped from pan to lesbian to bi. Even though I have not been with anyone since coming out I have talked to a lot of people. I've come to the conclusion men are idiots who treat me as an object. All they seem to want is sex. Women are very shy for the most part but treat me with respect and a human being, not an object. While there are exceptions to this, this is what I have noticed. As a person the main thing I am after is not sex, but love and appreciation. Someone who excepts me for me. Someone who just wants to be with me, doing normal every day things like cuddling on the settee at night to watch a movie, or going shopping or something as simple as having a good natter. So this is me. A Trans Woman who is lesbian with extreme exceptions. Welcome to the world me.

The health secretary, Sajid Javid, has compared transgender healthcare to the cover up of Rotherham Sex Gangs. He has stated that the political fears of transgender healthcare for kids is the same as the cover ups the police made about the Rotherham grooming gangs. Not only this, he is also threatening to change the law regarding GDPR that protect the health records of Trans Kids. I'm sorry but "Political Sensitivities" have nothing to do with Gender Dysphoria. He has no clue what kids go through. I do, I have been through it. At times I wanted to kill myself, do self harm and all the rest. It was only thanks to joining the Army that I am alive today. Thanks to the Conservative Government of the day and their stupid "Section 28" law that banned LGBTQAI+ in school's I had no clue what it was I was suffering from. I was also brought up in a religious family so I couldn't discuss this with them as it was against the teaching of the Bible. All this will do i

 I went to the Manchester Trans Conversion Therapy Ban on Saturday. It was amazing, over 2000 people was there protesting for transgender people to be included in the Conversion Therapy Ban. I saw all parts of the community there, from Gay, Lesbians and Bisexual people there all the way to Bears and None Binary people, as well as Gender None-confirming people. Allies was out in force as well. I would like to say to everyone who turned up and to all the people who support us, Thank You. I would also like to thank Manchester Trans Rise Up (@manc_up on Twitter) for organizing it so quickly and all the speakers who was there as well. Now the BBC said "hundreds" of people turned up to the protest. Of course they would say that as they are transphobic, so I did the best thing I could, posted video evidence on Twitter to convey the truth. the BBC got ratioed badly. As you can see, at the time I took the screenshots, the BBC post got 347 likes where my reply to the post is 561. Doesn

First off sorry for not posting a lot over this year. Been having problems with PTSD so that does effect my concentration a lot. I will try to make posts more regular. As you may or may not of heard this government flipped flopped on Conversion Therapy. At first it was a total ban for everyone, then no ban at all then finally they decided to ban for everyone apart from Transgender People. The " Safe to be me " LGBT+ conference the government had set up collapsed thanks to every major LGBT+ Charity and AID Charities pulling out. Over 200 in total. The Government wasted £650,000 of taxpayers on this conference. The BMA (British Medical Association) also supports a full ban. It has also emerged that over 60% of the population, no matter who they vote for, support a TOTAL ban on conversion Therapy, yet this government does not listen. This is unacceptable. Last weekend there was a protest outside No 10. about 3000 people turned up, along with smaller ones in Belfast and Dublin, e
