I’d be interested to know where the funding is for these studies.

I’m trans & proud of being me.
I suppose i’m lucky in one sense yet I have also seen the other side which is hard.
I work for the NHS & they have been very supportive as an employer, yet as a service user i’ve also seen the other side of the NHS that discriminates against us because we’re not normal.

What is normal.

I’ve faught the NHS during my reasent admissions into hospital with all the transphobic discrimination i’ve suffered & still suffer at times.

?Following one incident that lead me to complain & threatening to sue the local NHS Trust I was asked to do a talk for the drs about what its like which has been included in the Psychiatric Bulleten. I also spoke to the ward managers of the said trust. I’m also involved in educating health proffessional within the largest Mental Health Foundation Trust within the UK for the past 3 years.

I don’t & will never pass 100% but I knew I had a duty as a member of the NHS to say your treatment of us is wrong & the service has to learn to change.

There is still a very long way to go & there will always be someone who expresses transphobic discrimination one way or another but we also as transgendered individuals to fight for our rights & those who are yet to come.

When & if I get my gender recognision certificate along with my operation I will not stop fighting for what is right or for those who find it hard to stand up, be counted & say we have a right to fair & equal treatment within the NHS.

A born again woman.

so you’re refusing to clarify your points then? A rather cowardly thing to do my dear.

Well goodbye and good riddance to another person who likes to come on here and hyjack threads.

Last post, you’re very good at insults yourself so I guess that makes us quits. I have better things to do in my life(actually very successsful and far from your pitifully vicious caricature) than to waste time on arguing with you.

your kindness fills me with horror my sweet but I do not ask for your kindness, rather rebuff it.

so are you answering any of my points or just ignoring them and throwing insults?

Oui mais vous appeler “con” était bien une gentillesse, en réfléchissant sur la chose, j’ai cru que c’est le mot “crétin” qui vraiment vous convient, donc voilà!

A list of insults from yourself:

some drag act

what a clown

Enjoy your feeble existence

Quel con

an obviously sad individual who clings to his trans existence to bring some meaning into an otherwise empty life.

Pathetic waste of space

cretin, there, is it clear what you are

seek treatment

You really are utterly and irredeemably stupid

Oh and your French is iffy too. ‘Cretin’ is ‘cretin’ you duper. ‘Con’ means something closer to ‘bloody fool’ (a correct translation of your post would be ‘what a bloody fool’ not ‘what a cretin’) which, with your pathetic attempt to look clever, you’ve made yourself look.

Oh and my French would not even maker it into the ‘conversational’ category.

and you, my dear, are a self-loathing, hate-filled, vicious bitch.

Still refusing to clarify any of your questionable comments then? Still insisting on personal attacks as the way to win an argument…you must have pissed really high up the wall in your ‘former life.’

anyway the points I wish to have clarified again:

1. why you are assuming that your own identity is shared by all Trans people.

2. Why the term ‘some drag queen’ should be understood as having anything other than contempt behind it.

3. Why you where insulted by me pointing out that Cross Dressers don’t like being called Transvestites and that this is an insult to them?

4. (a new one) since you think Trans Identities are ‘pathetic’ do you consider any Transperson who does not ‘go stealth’ to be a ‘Pathetic waste of space’?

I’ll not hold my breath waiting on your answers.

ooh jsne: in terms of ‘pathetic lives’ you score3 higher than myself.

My life:

musician and musical theorist

Trans activist

published poet

Business woman (the business pulls in over £2 million a year)

In a four year long relationship with my Lesbian partner and planning a civil.

Your life:

cut off from lifelong family and friends

lying to partners

lying to doctors

lying to employees

lying to everyone, every day

filled with hate and fear, never sure you’ve passed every second of every day

walling in fear, hate and lies.

A friend was considering converting to the Jewish faith and asked his rabbi if being Trans was a sin. The Rabbi pointed out that though it was a sin it could easily be atoned for but that lying to yourself and everyone else was a greater sin by far.

something worth thinking about in your lonely, stealthy, Ivory Tower.

Oh dear, look I have other things to do in my life than argue with you. You can say I’m running away, not wanting to respond to your (increasingly abberant and bizarre) remarks, say whatever you like, I’m not bothered in the least! Do seek treatment, though, for your own sake.

theotherone — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:19:21 +0000

i suppose it’s for you to decide what is acceptable then? You and you alone? What a world you inhabit where you are it’s supreme ruler, to only arbiter.

Who died and made you God?

As to my ‘pathetic’ identity: does that mean anyone who dose not go stealth is ‘pathetic?’ Another point you need to clarify.

As to ‘the great battle’ – again you show that you lack any humor.

By: Jane

Jane — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:48:57 +0000

Published poet, it’s not within your gift to decide what is “outrageous”, it’s not you who will lead “the great battle” (whatever you actually do mean by that), it’s not for you to lecture or chastise, who are you, an obviously sad individual who clings to his trans existence to bring some meaning into an otherwise empty life. No-one is accountable or responsible to you, are you kidding me? Pathetic waste of space. I’ll translate “con” for you, it’s cretin, there, is it clear what you are?

By: theotherone

theotherone — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:34:40 +0000

so you’ll not make any more outragious statments…

will you clarify the ones you have made?

By: Jane

Jane — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:52:28 +0000

Quel con!

By: theotherone

theotherone — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:42:56 +0000

still refusing to clarify any points you make…

oh well if you don’t come on and make outrageous comments I won’t argue with you.

Nice and simple eh?

Jane — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:13:17 +0000

Omigod, what a clown, seemingly determined to have a fight.
Look, I can’t be bothered, life’s too short.
Enjoy your feeble existence, published poet!

Jen: I would love to have people like Jane onside for the great battle but she’d turn her gun on other Trannies, Cross Dressers, Drag Queers and for all I know Gay Men, Lesbians and Bisexuals.
