We of the lgbt community and our allies know the reports flawed as fuck at best but those who don’t have an interest in trans people outside of attacking them don’t know enough or care enough to know the reports shite. I was reading comments on the live politics blog of the guardian UK and there was someone attacking the green party of the UK because they’ve been supportive of trans people in their policies and manifesto, of course the replies were mostly in agreement and the evidence they used to support the attacks on the green party for being pro trans was the fucking case report. The guardians demographic is typically centre left middle class so likely university educated and they still don’t fucking get it. It served as a good reminder why I stopped reading it earlier this year. Unfortunately here in the UK there isn’t a leftwing paper that’s pro trans. Every news outlet is ambivalent at best and outright attacking at worst. There’s also a General Election this year and local ones within a month so it’s hugely important to me that anti LGBT people aren’t elected and that won’t be the case it seems. I fucking hate the UK and I’m lucky enough to live in Northern Ireland which hopefully will reunite with the south at some point in my lifetime.
