    <cw: far-right transphobic harrassment>

    Got surrounded, harrassed and threatened by a bunch of rabid zionists and fascists while supporting a peaceful pro-palestinian group in my city yesterday. They were carrying IDF flags, calling us terrorists and Jew hunters and on top of all their usual depravity, were being virulently transphobic, attempting to single out any of us who were gender non-conforming and loudly, repeatedly agressively misgendering us. The police stood and watched as they got in our faces and threatened us with violence. But if we’d have raised a hand in self defence they would have immedaitely beaten and arrested us. My comrades were brave, composed and unyielding, but it was a horrible experience. I’ve been part of enough anti-fascist action to develop a pretty thick skin but yesterday was fucking horrible.

    <cw: UK NHS indifference>

    Today i have been trying to sort out blood tests for my GAHT and running into the standard NHS “we’d rather you just die” approach to healthcare. I don’t have any transfem friends in my city to ask for advice from, but I’m gonna go to a social this week to see if I can meet some women who might be able to signpost me.

    So not a great start to my week. But I will never let them crush me. I will fucking thrive out pure spite if I have to.
