Written for catharsis and the gender criticals.

Why do they have to make it an issue? They just won't live quietly, or go away.

They seek healthcare, the evidence is weak. They wait years on lists, they get told it's just a phase.

They blend in, they're deceiving you. They don't blend in, they're making you uncomfortable.

They conform to gender roles, they're a stereotype. They defy them, they're making a mockery.

They come out young, it's a trend, a social contagion. They come out older, it's a midlife crisis.

They share your spaces, they're a threat. They ask for their own, they're erasing yours.

They use the NHS, they're draining resources. They go private, they're buying a diagnosis.

They ask for dignity. You tell them their existence violates yours.

They follow the law, you rewrite it without them. You enforce their exclusion, then call it "clarity and dignity."

Do you see it?

There is no version of them you will accept. There never was.

Stop.

Stop calling it safeguarding, biology, concern.

You have decided they should not exist. The people who created the word 'genocide' are using it for this. So perhaps stop pretending it's about anything else.

And while you debate whether they deserve any dignity or respect, this is what reality looks like:

Waiting for the first GIC appointment: 18 weeks, average of ~5 to 8 years, ~48,000+ patients

Waiting for conversion therapy ban: 2,876+ days, 5 governments, 6+ major delays.

Waiting for the adult national waiting list: 151 days, 1 government, 1 delay.

Increase in police-recorded transphobic hate crimes over the last 5 years: 50%.
