I know it’s not for profit, I explained how classifications are used under our for profit system to do the same things you do under your alleged healthcare system.
This is a UK politics thread on the UK politics sub on the UK based instance. What do you mean by “our”. If you’re one of those trumpian interfering yanks, then admit it.
Yeah, I’m offering you my experience with the US’s horrifyingly dysfunctional healthcare system that was still able to give me a prescription within months rather than 6+ years. Maybe you should stop trying to blame trans people for your system failing so many people for so long.
At no point did I ever blame trans people. I don’t know how you even read that out of what I said.
here’s the things that jumped out at me:
A “bias” against self report and DIY HRT is understandable as the person has likely just been hanging out in forums and Discord servers but not assessed by a professional.
based on this I can only conclude that you don’t consider self report people to be trans. You’re clearly shitting on them for not following the 6 year labyrinth of your health system to get hormones and a proper diagnosis.
from what I can tell your main concern is continuing austerity rather than just figuring out what care is needed and providing it.
I think it’s important for it to be assessed first to make sure that necessary care is being funded by the taxpayer and not just cosmetic surgery
I can conclude
and you either missed or dismissed my point about cosmetic surgery. things like electrolysis on the face to remove facial hair may be “cosmetic” but it’s also kind of a big deal for transfems who don’t follow the puberty blocker track. It involves a lot of work in the system to even get to have that covered, I can assure you that nobody is getting recreational facial electrolysis.
if your concern is actually taxpayers money getting spent well maybe you lot should spend less money on weapons, cops and tax cuts? it’s what I tell them here because those things are money pits.
I’m just saying that the surgeries to the face shouldn’t be handed out no-questions asked.
It’s easy for you as a yank (who tend to think what applies in America applies everywhere else, as yanks tend to be incredibly self centred and trying to project themselves everywhere else) to tell us how to spend our taxpayer’s money. Weapons are needed because Europe is literally at war right now, and the UK’s police are underfunded (except possibly Northern Ireland, but that region is still dealing with the aftermath of what could be described as a civil war spanning several decades)
It’s really telling how as soon as someone critiques the way things are run on swamp island you just get defensive about ‘foreigners’ rather than taking the constructive criticism about your alleged healthcare system.
I’m an anarchist, I don’t like any of these fucking countries, they’re all capitalist shitholes, some more so than others. Fuck the wars, literally just setting money on fire and acting like the problem is minorities getting healthcare.
I’m just saying that the surgeries to the face shouldn’t be handed out no-questions asked.
The only way this happens right now pretty much everywhere is if you have money, then you can get whatever gender affirming surgery you want, cis or trans. The issue I have is that even the first step of this process like hormones and non-invasive procedures are already extremely gatekept, do you think they should be more accessible or less?
I’ll need to look more into it. I’m not an expert on the subject and to what level they are gatekept. I just don’t agree with some people’s opinions that they should be handed out with no questions asked due to someone “self certifying”

Only 3.8% of the treasury goes towards police and 4.8% goes towards defence. Compare that to 18% goes towards health and 22% goes towards welfare.
We don’t need you lot telling us how to run our country with your BS. We don’t need foreigners telling us how to run our fediverse instances either.
