I'm literally spending most days curled up trying to silence the suicidal thoughts in my head, and one of my teeth has fractured from me grinding my teeth. I'm terrified to leave the house and had to get signed off work. It's a nightmare. I didn't do anything wrong.

I am so sorry to hear this -
I meet so many people , often much older people , who are wholeheartedly accepting and cannot understand why a small group of people have been so dehumanised

We're possessions to them. Dress-up dolls. And religion is playing a major role, as evangelicals are starting to dominate, imported by right-wing groups. On this road to hell, we're only the first service station of many to the exaltation of the "whites", it seems, because society is failing.

I once served you a pint in a bar in Manchester around 2006 and now I'm trans. Care to explain? Hmmmm?

More mental health support is needed

I feel people are manipulated into taking aggressively opposing views. Like everything, over the last few years.
I don't understand not having empathy for people who have struggled, and face abuse. Talking with people who believe differently about anything is hard/painful but necessary/healing.

Thank you Robin.

It’s the easier and more lucrative option sadly for so many and I think a lot of them get a thrill from it, it’s an acceptable form of bigotry in their circles

It's all so unnecessary. Just across the Channel, here in France, it's barely an issue. It's almost as if all the fuss in the UK is wholly politically motivated and nothing to do with trans people and their lives at all.

Warmest hugs Robin.

You're not saying "accept this" or "accept that."

You're just saying "Love your neighbour."

My girlfriend has a wonderful daughter now.

Learn from the person you love, not ignorance.

Ask how to help them.
