Is that person then forced to live life as a man? That's what you're asking trans folk to do btw.
The Supreme Court legally defining something that cannot be proved is dangerous. For everyone.
Trans rights are human rights. And this ruling affects everyone.

Christine, you know this is a non statement.
What this ruling has done has actually made women less safe. The bogeyman has always been cis men pretending to he something they're not to hurt women.
This makes that easier. Any man can now wander into a "woman only" space claiming to be a trans man.

It was years ago now but I had serotonin syndrome from an antidepressant I was on. They didn't want to give me an appointment bc they said "sweating and a rapid heart rate is just your anxiety".
The colour drained from my GP's face when he saw me.

Funny how the right suddenly give a crap about autism... fairly sure this isn't the hymn sheet they're usually singing from.

Our bill was £41 once they adjusted for today's reading. Not £283.

Waiting times for accessible council houses are in the decades, doctor's surgeries aren't mandated to have accessible toilets and the DWP links disabled people's benefits to their partner's income making them vulnerable to financial abuse, assisted dying cannot be for the "incurable".

Factor in that I can walk to my GP. It'd suck, but I can do it.
I'd rather not drive anywhere when I'm in pain. My partner doesn't drive. My family live an hour away in the opposite direction to where A&E is.
Do they want me to also clog up ambulance resources?
It's honestly ridiculous.

I have no numbness. I have no tingling. I have nothing to indicate an xray is required.
We can complain about people clogging up A&E for non-urgent issues and that's valid. But when your doctor won't even examine you to see if A&E is necessary then what are folk meant to do?

100%. You can block anybody for any reason, and they you, and realising that can be quite freeing.
You don't need to let them wind you up. And who cares if they think they've "won" by you blocking them. Protect your peace.
