Definitely feels recently like the first country to offer asylum and a fast track passport to trans+ folk from the UK and US will mop up a lot of talent. Just saying ...
Suzanne Harrington: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic. That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

'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'
So... more #transvisibility selfies today! Yes it's easier from Ireland, but I'll be back in the UK for a visit in a bit
On an unserious note, I'd never have imagined I could feel so comfortable in my body in my mid-50s. Today ... no makeup, grey roots and an off shoulder dress
It's another glorious day 🌞
