Rishi Sunak is not good news for the Transgender Community

Image
Rushi Sunak yesterday took over as PM as the 3rd Tory PM in as many months. Here are some points he has made about Transgender people in the recent leadership contest that he lost to Liz Truss. Rishi Sunak denied that Trans Women are Women He stated during a leadership husting that “Trans Women are not women”. Months before he launched his leadership bid, he said in a Mumsnet Q&A that trans people should be “respected”, but that “biology is important, is fundamental” when it comes to toilets and sports. In that same Q&A he called on people to have “respect” for cis women who are “anxious that some of the things they have fought really hard for and rights that are important to them will be eroded”. Damming report by an ally in the Daily Mail While he was chancellor he did little to advance or roll back LGBT+ Rights in general, though this was not his job either. An ally of his told the Mail On Sunday that he would reverse “recent trends to erase women via the use of clumsy, gend

Mental Health Struggles and MSM.

Over the last few weeks I have been struggling with mental health, namely feeling like no one wants me, Gender Dysphoria and my PTSD, which is coming to the season when I always struggle with it. With regards to my PTSD, I have not been sleeping well, I never do from now until about February. That I can live with as I know what it is and how to deal with it. My Gender Dysphoria has been hitting me quite hard recently as well, especially when I goto bed or wake up. I just want to chop off what’s in between my legs off most of the time. Also, when I look in the mirror and see my chest, I hate it. There should be lumps there instead its flat as a door nail. I just hate my body with a passion, but it's the hand that I have been dealt with. We just have to fight through it. I have found out I might be able to go private for Hormones instead of waiting for the NHS to deal with me. Already been waiting 2 years and I can wait a lot longer before I even get a first appointment. It’s just to

Coming Out Story (UPDATED)

Name : Kira Herdman Yes this is my legal name, I changed it via Deedpoll and I am Transgender. I knew I was different when I was 5. There was 2 problems, Section 28 and religious family. I didn’t even know what Transgender or even LGBT was until I was 20. I have always thought I was Bi and I had my first experience with a man at the age of 20 when I was in the Army, based in Tidworth, Wiltshire. No one knew as I was straight acting and more attracted to women than men. It stayed this way until a few years ago. The only person who knew I was Bi was my sister. I told her about 8 years ago that I was. About 3 years ago my niece came out as lesbian (but now is Bi) but was shy about it so I decided to come out publicly to support her. It seemed to help her. I was in a relationship at the time as well, though my then GF had problems with it. During the pandemic I found out my ex was cheating on me so we split up. All this time, I have felt I was in the wrong body, never really took good care

Poem and PTSD.

Image
 Well Autumn is here, and this is the season my PTSD kicks off like anything. Tried to get some sleep last night, I managed to get no sleep whatsoever. Every time I shut my eyes all I got was a nightmare. Along with this my mind is racing about being a transgender woman and who would want me. Sometimes I get very low, and last night was one of those nights where I wish I was not here. I feel so lonely all the time wondering if I will ever find someone who just wants to be with me for well, me and not a fantasy. So, I decided to write a poem to keep my mind occupied. I hate those that are happy Because that is not me I hate those that already are What I was supposed to be I hate those that started young They have not lost their prime I hate that I am old it feels like im out of time I hate those who look like me That is not who I want to be I hate those that made their decision Cause I am trapped, in my own prison I hate those who can live their life Mine is filled with woe sorrow and s

Relationships as a trans girl

Image
I have been out as a trans girl for about 2 years now. I can count on my hand the number of days I have been in a relationship in those 2 years. 1 day. Why is that? Well I think for starters it has taken a long time for me to realize what I want. At first I thought I wanted a “normal” relationship, that is a man and a woman. But I have found this to be really hard, as while some men are of course beautiful, I am simply not attracted to them in that way. Some men I am attracted to sexually but not romantically. Also most men seem to treat me like an object or an experiment. Maybe it’s the way transgender people are projected by the media or by porn, but I am not some kind of experiment for you, I am a human being who’s just trying to get through life without doing some of the things I think of doing to myself every Morning or every time I go to bed. Then I thought I was a lesbian. No woman so far as taken my interest romantically, also no woman has also taken an interest in me romantica
