Some trans patients received news their surgeries had been cancelled just days or even hours before they were due to take place

Yeah, OK, point taken. I should probably have said, "Such a pointless fucking waste", or something.

I assume from your comment that you're trans... I'm curious, speaking as a dumb cis guy who's gradually realising no amount of "solidarity" is ever going to be enough... what do you think is the number one thing people could/should be doing to make life even a little bit easier for trans people? Is there anything you wish we knew? 'Cause the media sure isn't going to tell us if there is. 😬

Visibly support us, show the world that we are just people. I think in general people are ignorant about us and most support us but when media vilifies us, people build the wrong idea about us and descriminating against becomes more acceptable to them. So anything to show them we are just people like everyone else is great
