"We know conversion therapy doesn’t work because the society we live in is conversion therapy.

I'm giggling at this one 🐝 ... Friday whimsy for you

'TRANSGENDER PEOPLE WHO move to Ireland from other countries are being told by the National Gender Service (NGS) they must join the waitlist and go through their assessment process before accessing healthcare in Ireland. This is despite having legally changed their gender and previously accessed gender-affirming care in their home countries. The NGS is requiring people who have already transitioned to join a years-long waitlist and prove they are ‘transgender enough’ once again'

Today ... no makeup, grey roots and an off shoulder dress It's another glorious day 🌞

Out for a walk with Isabel in the lovely Cork sunshine. She's the one striding ahead of me like the Duracell bunny as always🔋(... pretty much a metaphor for how our relationship works btw! 😂) Enjoy. If you're trans and in the UK then Ireland is a chilled place to think about *if* you'd consider a move ... #Transvisibility
