  • Maybe we should.

    Statistics-wise, let’s assume that the repartition of potential combating she people is the same.

    Terf Island + their occipied territories’ population is 69 millions people.

    A conservative estimate of the trans part of the population is about 1%.

    World population is 8B, which would make a ratio of 80/69 if favor of trans people.

    Considering that a quick search on military doctrine yields the amount of 10 soldiers per 1000 inhabitants, 20 in the case of active insurgency, the numbers are there.

    If we expand to LGBTQIA+ people in general, I don’t have a lot of stats but polling in the US gives 9%, which I’ll round to 10% because I suck at math and it’s 2AM. That brings that number to 800/69.

    Then, there’s the question of armaments. Reliance on the enemies of the UK proved quite effective the last time they faced a civil war so this seems doable.

    Understanding how the UK treated the population they colonized as a frame of reference for how they should consider the idea of others colonizing them, it is clear they are clearly not afraid enough.

    Did I spend 10min typing this just out of spite for terf Island? Yes. Was it worth it? No.


  • Thank you for the clarification! I wasn’t sure whether Japan mostly operated on a public healthcare like in the EU or private healthcare like in the US.

    It’s a topic I find super interesting and Universal Healthcare is under attack by neoliberals and other right wing political actors about everywhere it’s been enacted like my own country, France. So it is very interesting to learn about how it work in other places.


  • Thanks for sharing all that, that’s super interesting. I hope you don’t mind is I ask a few questions. I don’t know anything about healthcare in Japan, if and what is public, and what is private.

    When you talk about insurance, do you mean a private health insurance that you pay for?

    And are those 70% you mention at the end also from a private health insurance?
