If they hadn't cut every Trump supporter out of their life already, we could've gotten an amazing viral video out of that. Oh well  :fbm

'm legit terrified. I live in Maga country. 75 percent of my county voted for Trump. I'm surrounded by MAGA chuds. My wife and I already talked today about packing up suitcases tonight in case shit starts going down and we have to flee. Trump's cult is 100 percent brainwashed. Even if they call for Biden tonight, I'm worried Trump is going to call on his cult and burn the country down with him. We're not sure where we would go. We thought about Michigan, but where my wife's dad lives is Maga country too. I have relatives in New England, so we've talked about fleeing there if we have to. Any sense that shit is about to get out of hand or I'm just being paranoid.

Just off the top of my head.

For citizens? Taxes go up, quality of life will go down as the middle class gets gutted via regulation, job loss through exports and cheap labor both abroad and in the country via sanctuary cities allowing labor to undercut citizens who have a higher overhead. Erosion of your rights as the Bill of Rights gets shredded, specifically the 1rst and 2nd Amendment. Health care will not be fixed, but will cause everyone to have the same quality of shit health care at a higher cost then you currently experience.

For local businesses? Probably forced regulation on fossil fuels in an attempt to ramrod green energy at a high cost and rolling brownouts across the nation. Even higher taxes to bloat local and federal government. More job loss as well as no longer being a net exporter of energy as they kill fracking and coal mining.

For other countries? Expect troops to appear somewhere as the warhawks of both sides continue their CIA play time.

For China? They will be given the red carpet to continue to grow and leech our innovation, IP and treasure at the expense of the middle class. Probably move on Taiwan.

Intersectionality pushed everywhere and then exported as American Culture does. You will pay for the benefit of being told you are racist and your job opportunities will be taken from you if you are white due to original sin. Possible forced struggle sessions in all private sectors with the heavy hand of the Federal government.

Iran will have pressure taken off as the Trump Doctrine in foreign policy gets shitcanned by Democrats.

First of all it is President Kamala, not Biden
-Endless lockdown over the flu, to continue to destroy middle class wealth and funnel it to Jeff Bezos
-Higher taxes as a punitive measure, probably framed in terms of racial justice; the ultra rich will avoid them and they will end up being paid by successful salaried workers as they always are.
-Full woke government, CRT sanctioned everywhere, so white people will be forced to admit their original sin in “workshops”
-no border enforcement, massive H1B expansion so tech companies can avoid hiring Americans
-proposal to steal my 401k and accumulated wealth to pass reparations
-Cities continue to collapse 60s style as things like “arresting people for committing crimes” quickly get tagged as racist

All of this I am saying based on things Democrats have said, quite recently. Now, you may argue, well that is just the nutter shitlibs, not mainstream politicians, well see the speed at which ”defund the police” went from some crazy moon thing to being something that Democrats in government and major media were talking about as a goal. This is the way these people operate, listen to what they say and take them at their word. I have no doubt that President Kamala would sign any of this in a bill if it ever landed on her desk.

Quote from: HUELEN10
Just saw the president's statement and I agree with what he said in the end, that in the end it doesn’t matter if it ends up being for dems, gop, joe, or him, but it should be fair and legal. Anyone sayIng there is no fraud is as full of shit as anyone saying the president won by a landslide. I feel what the president is pushing to do is good for the country and is a promise he is keeping that he made a long time ago, to drain the swamp.

Find and expose the corrupting, find and declare the real winners regardless of what party they are from. If his excellency the president of the United States ends up being a different man than it is now, or different woman should it be Harris because this is 2020 and anything can happen, I will give them the same respect I do the current one now.

How can anyone be opposed to exposing fraud and promoting the use of a legal arguments and lawsuits to try to clear the air in a relatively quick way, to help ensure that the Democratic process isn’t tainted? It will be weeks at MOST, is that too much to ask when half the nation thought he was working with the Russians for years despite having nothing but baseless accusations and innocent connections? We have real evidence of fraud here, even if it’s a single case, the American people should demand the opportunity to rid themselves of corruption.

If Trump is indeed a 1-Term President then I hope to god he succeeds in draining the swamp as much as he can. If he can do that, he’ll be a true American hero, one that preserved the soul of the nation.

And no, I did not vote for him before and I never have stated who I voted for in this election either. I believe in this country and a president, just a president period, and I just hate corruption. Voter fraud is a violation of the most important thing the people can do to voice themselves, regardless of how screwed up our system is.

Mark my words: Under President Biden, race relations are going to be the lowest in U.S history since 1887.

Trump was truly colorblind and wanted everyone to succeed.

Biden is going to do a complete reversal and make America into the biggest ethnic battleground on earth. Take a look at the 1619 project as proof. Without Trump, the Democrats are going to brainwash future generations to hate each other over skin color and it's all going to be legal.

Cheers bud. The way things are now is much more aligned with my original vision of the forum, which is as a kind of Babylon Five neutral ground where people can discuss different views as long as they're civil and steer clear of hate and extremism. I definitely let that goal slip away circa 2015-2017, leaving an increasingly volatile powderkeg of hatred, extremism, and mental illness with an inevitable result.

Fortunately, I've had an opportunity to rebuild with a far stronger foundation consistent with that mission statement, and a cool group of people with whom I respect. I certainly won't forget who the people with a sound moral compass and strength of character in the face of an angry mob were when shit hit the fan.

First, some background to set everything up. So. I lived in Europe (the Netherlands, specifically) until about three years ago. Rushed to apply for a marriage visa to move to the US before Trump could possibly shut it down and leave us waiting until the next administration fixed everything up. I'm now a permanent resident of the United States, and will be a citizen in like two years. Times have been really tough under Trump's rule, but I don't regret my decision in the slightest, especially now that Biden's been elected. I've had a lot of Americans specifically asked me why the hell anyone in any sane state of mind would ever move to the United States under Trump's presidency, and whether it'd be a better idea to just move my wife over to the Netherlands and be together with her there, instead. Because Europe is so much more progressive and safe for LGBT people and everything, right?

Ehhh. Not exactly. Ignoring all the difficulties of logistics and my wife having to learn a whole new language that nobody wants to speak anyway, the only minorities Europe is good for white gay men. I've seen a lot of driveby posts in the election thread about European people wanting to share their takes on how Biden is right-wing anyway. Or that Biden would be 'far right' in Europe and that Bernie would be a centrist. (lol) I'm pretty sick and tired of these takes. Super sick.

Europe's economically far to the left of the United States, yeah, but that's not the only measure of politics. Sure as heck isn't the only one that matters. Sure, Biden might be to the right of most European parties in terms of economic policy, but his social policy is significant to the left. Europe is terrible to minorities.

In case you haven't already heard, their treatment of transpeople is particularly atrocious. While my own experiences are limited to the NL and the NL alone, I've talked with a lot of other EU transpeople and I know the situation is the same, or sometimes even worse there.

So. I cam out to my parents as trans seven years ago. Eventually went to the doctor to get a referral on where I should be going to talk to a 'gender psychologist' to get the help I desired. Yeah, okay. Sure. Whatever. That doesn't sound too ridiculous, even if it's a little silly. I've been trans all my life. Pretty sure this is unnecessary, but okay, whatever. This is important to me. I travel to supposedly the only equipped hospital (wtf?) in the country in Amsterdam. Like two hours by train, and like 30~ bucks for tickets back and forth. Whatever. That's terrible, but I'll manage. I was told it'd be covered by my health insurance and I should be fine. Thank god. I don't have the money to spend on this. I'd have to cover the travel fees myself, though.

Get told to my face that I'm probably not actually trans because I didn't show up wearing a fancy, frilly dress, in high heels, in heavy makeup, and dressed androgynously instead. He started feeding me some bullshit about how transitioning is a staircase (???) and that I was at the bottom and I needed to take it step by step. Because otherwise I'll just continue to be a 'man'.

...and then he told me to take my mom with me the next appointment to see if there was any evidence at all that she had picked up on that I'm not just crazy or something. So, went home, told my mom, next appointment was a week later and she came along. Sixty euro in train fees for the both of us that I had to pay because my mom was in heavy debt and poverty. I get sat down with my mom and the doctor proceeds to repeat the exact same bullshit he said to me last visit to my mother. About how I'm probably just crazy and insecure because I'm not dressed like a woman. I'm literally wearing some of my mom's old clothes. My mom was wearing something extremely similar to what I was wearing. He was questioning my womanhood by criteria that would've made my mother not a woman. He repeated his delusional garbage about the staircase of transitioning and I was eventually sent home and told to come back in a week again.

And like the desperate and dumb idiot I am, I returned next week. I got some help from my mom for my makeup, wore some of the most feminine clothes I had at the time because, again, I’m fucking poor. I can’t go buy a new wardrobe. Cool. Maybe this visit’ll go better. I set down, have a long talk with the doctor again.

...and I hear the exact same fucking bullshit. This time I tell him to his face I’m wearing my mom’s clothes. Me and my mother worked hard on getting any sort of makeup to look nice and fitting because I seriously had no idea how to work makeup. But he again brought up the fact that I wasn’t wearing heels and that I brought such a ‘masculine’ hoodie with me. It’s a FUCKING HOODIE. Because it was winter and COLD. It’s the world’s most nondescript hoodie ever. How the fuck are you gendering a fucking hoodie? He goes on to tell me that I’m really not trying hard enough. I would need to actually ‘live as my preferred gender’ for several years before he could even consider prescribing hormones, especially if I was going to ‘pretend to be a man’ like I apparently was.

...for wearing my mother’s hand-me-downs.

But no, it gets worse. He starts laying on the ‘doll yourself up’ shit to the point were it was getting seriously uncomfortable. He started asking me detailed questions about my sex life (fuck off?) and repeatedly asked me ‘how i masturbate’ and made sure I knew that I had to answer this for the sake of transitioning. Some sixty year old white guy wanted me to go in *actual detail* about this. And I have no real choice, because I’m insanely dysphoric and want to have SOME sort of comfort in my own skin. After politely trying to not answer the question, I eventually have to go in excruciating detail about these things. About what I ‘think about’ or ‘look at’ or what role I fantasize myself being in. And about what I physically do. He gave running commentary on every single thing. I finish up the appointment, feeling like I have to vomit from how uncomfortable the entire situation is. I get told he’s going to talk it over with his ‘colleagues’ and see if they can ‘reach a consensus’ on perhaps giving my hormone therapy early. I get told I need to come back next week.

So I come back next week. It’s like a five-minute appointment in which he told me no,, I’m not getting hormones. Maybe in four years. Because I’m just not trying hard enough.

I got told to come again next week. Through the course of the week, I started realizing the shit that was going on was not okay, partially from talking to it with my now-wife and being told how ridiculous all of this is. I call out and cancel all upcoming appointments because I realize he spent the entire time gaslighting me to my face and asking me shit that was very definitely just sexual harassment. It was insanely heartbreaking to just be told I’m not going to be able to transition because a group of old men decided I’m not really a woman. Imagine how fucking ridiculous that is. I’ve only talked to one of these people.

And they decided I’m not a woman.

...and later I get like five or six bills of over 200 euros because I canceled and not only did decide to bill me for the canceled appointments, it turns out they were also billing me for the ones I also went to. I end up in healthcare debt over the fact that I couldn’t instantly pay all of them (because they all arrived!! At once!!) and my monthly premium went from like 80 bucks to 200 bucks as a result.

I started telling myself that I must’ve just gotten the worst possible doctor. That this was some sort of insane thing that happens to like, nobody else. I started talking with some of my other foreign trans friends, and they all come out with similar experiences. I know multiple people in Sweden who, after several years, are still being gaslit to their face about how not trans they are. That this is normal.

That this is how European health care just kinda treats trans people. By telling them they’re crazy.

There’s no real political movement in Europe to fight against this garbage. This is just how it is. When Joe Biden got asked a question about trans rights in the town hall leading up to the election, I felt something so overwhelming, that I’ve never felt before. Even if his answer wasn’t the best, he showed any sort of care. He showed a desire for progress. He actually has any desire to represent me. Even if people wanna spin it as fake support to earn votes, that’s more than I’ve ever had before.

I can’t really describe how happy I am that Joe Biden is winning the election. And I can’t really describe how much it hurts for people to dismiss the suffering of trans people by pretending Europe is some sort of utopia that does everything better, all of the time.

Anyway, I have no idea why I typed this all out. Wanted to vent this out now that the election actually feels like it’s over, I guess! I hope I could offer you at least a hint of a new perspective to why I’m so happy Biden is winning even though I’m a pretty heavy leftist from Europe that grew up in poverty. There’s more I wanted to say, but I feel emotionally drained from typing out all this traumatic shit.

I wasn’t able to vote in this election, because I’m not a citizen yet. But god, I am elated.

Ehhh. Not exactly. Ignoring all the difficulties of logistics and my wife having to learn a whole new language that nobody wants to speak anyway, the only minorities Europe is good for white gay men. I've seen a lot of driveby posts in the election thread about European people wanting to share their takes on how Biden is right-wing anyway. Or that Biden would be 'far right' in Europe and that Bernie would be a centrist. (lol) I'm pretty sick and tired of these takes. Super sick.

Europe's economically far to the left of the United States, yeah, but that's not the only measure of politics. Sure as heck isn't the only one that matters. Sure, Biden might be to the right of most European parties in terms of economic policy, but his social policy is significant to the left. Europe is terrible to minorities.

In case you haven't already heard, their treatment of transpeople is particularly atrocious. While my own experiences are limited to the NL and the NL alone, I've talked with a lot of other EU transpeople and I know the situation is the same, or sometimes even worse there.

So. I cam out to my parents as trans seven years ago. Eventually went to the doctor to get a referral on where I should be going to talk to a 'gender psychologist' to get the help I desired. Yeah, okay. Sure. Whatever. That doesn't sound too ridiculous, even if it's a little silly. I've been trans all my life. Pretty sure this is unnecessary, but okay, whatever. This is important to me. I travel to supposedly the only equipped hospital (wtf?) in the country in Amsterdam. Like two hours by train, and like 30~ bucks for tickets back and forth. Whatever. That's terrible, but I'll manage. I was told it'd be covered by my health insurance and I should be fine. Thank god. I don't have the money to spend on this. I'd have to cover the travel fees myself, though.

Get told to my face that I'm probably not actually trans because I didn't show up wearing a fancy, frilly dress, in high heels, in heavy makeup, and dressed androgynously instead. He started feeding me some bullshit about how transitioning is a staircase (???) and that I was at the bottom and I needed to take it step by step. Because otherwise I'll just continue to be a 'man'.

...and then he told me to take my mom with me the next appointment to see if there was any evidence at all that she had picked up on that I'm not just crazy or something. So, went home, told my mom, next appointment was a week later and she came along. Sixty euro in train fees for the both of us that I had to pay because my mom was in heavy debt and poverty. I get sat down with my mom and the doctor proceeds to repeat the exact same bullshit he said to me last visit to my mother. About how I'm probably just crazy and insecure because I'm not dressed like a woman. I'm literally wearing some of my mom's old clothes. My mom was wearing something extremely similar to what I was wearing. He was questioning my womanhood by criteria that would've made my mother not a woman. He repeated his delusional garbage about the staircase of transitioning and I was eventually sent home and told to come back in a week again.

And like the desperate and dumb idiot I am, I returned next week. I got some help from my mom for my makeup, wore some of the most feminine clothes I had at the time because, again, I’m fucking poor. I can’t go buy a new wardrobe. Cool. Maybe this visit’ll go better. I set down, have a long talk with the doctor again.

...and I hear the exact same fucking bullshit. This time I tell him to his face I’m wearing my mom’s clothes. Me and my mother worked hard on getting any sort of makeup to look nice and fitting because I seriously had no idea how to work makeup. But he again brought up the fact that I wasn’t wearing heels and that I brought such a ‘masculine’ hoodie with me. It’s a FUCKING HOODIE. Because it was winter and COLD. It’s the world’s most nondescript hoodie ever. How the fuck are you gendering a fucking hoodie? He goes on to tell me that I’m really not trying hard enough. I would need to actually ‘live as my preferred gender’ for several years before he could even consider prescribing hormones, especially if I was going to ‘pretend to be a man’ like I apparently was.

...for wearing my mother’s hand-me-downs.

But no, it gets worse. He starts laying on the ‘doll yourself up’ shit to the point were it was getting seriously uncomfortable. He started asking me detailed questions about my sex life (fuck off?) and repeatedly asked me ‘how i masturbate’ and made sure I knew that I had to answer this for the sake of transitioning. Some sixty year old white guy wanted me to go in *actual detail* about this. And I have no real choice, because I’m insanely dysphoric and want to have SOME sort of comfort in my own skin. After politely trying to not answer the question, I eventually have to go in excruciating detail about these things. About what I ‘think about’ or ‘look at’ or what role I fantasize myself being in. And about what I physically do. He gave running commentary on every single thing. I finish up the appointment, feeling like I have to vomit from how uncomfortable the entire situation is. I get told he’s going to talk it over with his ‘colleagues’ and see if they can ‘reach a consensus’ on perhaps giving my hormone therapy early. I get told I need to come back next week.

So I come back next week. It’s like a five-minute appointment in which he told me no,, I’m not getting hormones. Maybe in four years. Because I’m just not trying hard enough.

I got told to come again next week. Through the course of the week, I started realizing the shit that was going on was not okay, partially from talking to it with my now-wife and being told how ridiculous all of this is. I call out and cancel all upcoming appointments because I realize he spent the entire time gaslighting me to my face and asking me shit that was very definitely just sexual harassment. It was insanely heartbreaking to just be told I’m not going to be able to transition because a group of old men decided I’m not really a woman. Imagine how fucking ridiculous that is. I’ve only talked to one of these people.

And they decided I’m not a woman.

...and later I get like five or six bills of over 200 euros because I canceled and not only did decide to bill me for the canceled appointments, it turns out they were also billing me for the ones I also went to. I end up in healthcare debt over the fact that I couldn’t instantly pay all of them (because they all arrived!! At once!!) and my monthly premium went from like 80 bucks to 200 bucks as a result.

I started telling myself that I must’ve just gotten the worst possible doctor. That this was some sort of insane thing that happens to like, nobody else. I started talking with some of my other foreign trans friends, and they all come out with similar experiences. I know multiple people in Sweden who, after several years, are still being gaslit to their face about how not trans they are. That this is normal.

That this is how European health care just kinda treats trans people. By telling them they’re crazy.

There’s no real political movement in Europe to fight against this garbage. This is just how it is. When Joe Biden got asked a question about trans rights in the town hall leading up to the election, I felt something so overwhelming, that I’ve never felt before. Even if his answer wasn’t the best, he showed any sort of care. He showed a desire for progress. He actually has any desire to represent me. Even if people wanna spin it as fake support to earn votes, that’s more than I’ve ever had before.

I can’t really describe how happy I am that Joe Biden is winning the election. And I can’t really describe how much it hurts for people to dismiss the suffering of trans people by pretending Europe is some sort of utopia that does everything better, all of the time.

Anyway, I have no idea why I typed this all out. Wanted to vent this out now that the election actually feels like it’s over, I guess! I hope I could offer you at least a hint of a new perspective to why I’m so happy Biden is winning even though I’m a pretty heavy leftist from Europe that grew up in poverty. There’s more I wanted to say, but I feel emotionally drained from typing out all this traumatic shit.

I wasn’t able to vote in this election, because I’m not a citizen yet. But god, I am elated.
:american

Sounds like the doctor was doing his job and not just prescribing hormones to a minor after 1 visit.

Also yes you will get asked sexual questions when the topic is sexual. Duh.

Also sounds like this person has never been to a doctor in their life.

"Oh wow the doctor won't prescribe me life altering heavy meds after one 5 min visit? Wtf transphobe."

Just judging by that post and his reaction to the ordeal the psycholigst made the right choice, this person is not mature enough to make this decision and the state won't help him at least.

I used to think the Supreme Court existed to keep government legislation in check. At least that is what we were taught in school (checks and balances). But over the last month I have learned that was a fantasy. The dark truth is that the Supreme Court exists at the whim of the Senate and, now that filibuster is gone for Supreme Court stuff, at any moment the Senate can increase the number of justices or remove unfilled seats. Hell the republicans could do that right now if they really wanted to...

But just think about that for a minute... I mean the founding fathers really fucked up with this one right?

Now let me ask the question, what is stopping the democrats from making "Republicans" illegal. I mean we all know that they deem republicans evil, racists, and enemies of the country, why not make it official? Given that they will have the majority in the house, senate and the presidency there is absolutely nothing that can stop them. Here is how it could happen.

1. Democrat controlled senate increases the number of supreme court justices by 6 and fills the seats with yes men and women...and xers.
2. Democrats pass legislation that makes "Being Republican" illegal and abolishes other parties in the United States. People have a month to disavow Republicanism or face treason charges.
3. Supreme Court rules that since Republicans are "racist" the first amendment does not protect them (hate crime law) thus nullifying any chance to fight this new legislation.
4. In order to make sure they cannot be voted out by dissenting members of their own party the democrats pass legislation that removes elections all together by claiming some special "COVID EMERGENCY" status.

Boom its over, and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop it as everything I posted is allowed in the united states. #4 could be skipped all together since we know Democrats will never lose another election. Mail in Voting is the death of the Republican Party. Why? Because of what happened in Georgia and what's happening in North Carolina. Basically it works like this,

1. They pause the counting to see how many votes they need to win (Happening in North Carolina, and happened in other states)
2. A judge sends out a call to canvass voting locations for any missed ballots. (Happening in North Carolina) This is actually a dog whistle for DNC people to start going door to door with pre-printed mail in ballots and asking people to vote democrat on them. They then post date the ballot and send it in to be counted (This is how you can have more votes that registered voters as well)
3. Votes are counted and magically the democrat wins at the 11th hour because of a surge of ballots for them (somewhere between 80-100%)
4. Democrats never lose again.

First, some background to set everything up. So. I lived in Europe (the Netherlands, specifically) until about three years ago. Rushed to apply for a marriage visa to move to the US before Trump could possibly shut it down and leave us waiting until the next administration fixed everything up. I'm now a permanent resident of the United States, and will be a citizen in like two years. Times have been really tough under Trump's rule, but I don't regret my decision in the slightest, especially now that Biden's been elected. I've had a lot of Americans specifically asked me why the hell anyone in any sane state of mind would ever move to the United States under Trump's presidency, and whether it'd be a better idea to just move my wife over to the Netherlands and be together with her there, instead. Because Europe is so much more progressive and safe for LGBT people and everything, right?

Ehhh. Not exactly. Ignoring all the difficulties of logistics and my wife having to learn a whole new language that nobody wants to speak anyway, the only minorities Europe is good for white gay men. I've seen a lot of driveby posts in the election thread about European people wanting to share their takes on how Biden is right-wing anyway. Or that Biden would be 'far right' in Europe and that Bernie would be a centrist. (lol) I'm pretty sick and tired of these takes. Super sick.

Europe's economically far to the left of the United States, yeah, but that's not the only measure of politics. Sure as heck isn't the only one that matters. Sure, Biden might be to the right of most European parties in terms of economic policy, but his social policy is significant to the left. Europe is terrible to minorities.

In case you haven't already heard, their treatment of transpeople is particularly atrocious. While my own experiences are limited to the NL and the NL alone, I've talked with a lot of other EU transpeople and I know the situation is the same, or sometimes even worse there.

So. I cam out to my parents as trans seven years ago. Eventually went to the doctor to get a referral on where I should be going to talk to a 'gender psychologist' to get the help I desired. Yeah, okay. Sure. Whatever. That doesn't sound too ridiculous, even if it's a little silly. I've been trans all my life. Pretty sure this is unnecessary, but okay, whatever. This is important to me. I travel to supposedly the only equipped hospital (wtf?) in the country in Amsterdam. Like two hours by train, and like 30~ bucks for tickets back and forth. Whatever. That's terrible, but I'll manage. I was told it'd be covered by my health insurance and I should be fine. Thank god. I don't have the money to spend on this. I'd have to cover the travel fees myself, though.

Get told to my face that I'm probably not actually trans because I didn't show up wearing a fancy, frilly dress, in high heels, in heavy makeup, and dressed androgynously instead. He started feeding me some bullshit about how transitioning is a staircase (???) and that I was at the bottom and I needed to take it step by step. Because otherwise I'll just continue to be a 'man'.

...and then he told me to take my mom with me the next appointment to see if there was any evidence at all that she had picked up on that I'm not just crazy or something. So, went home, told my mom, next appointment was a week later and she came along. Sixty euro in train fees for the both of us that I had to pay because my mom was in heavy debt and poverty. I get sat down with my mom and the doctor proceeds to repeat the exact same bullshit he said to me last visit to my mother. About how I'm probably just crazy and insecure because I'm not dressed like a woman. I'm literally wearing some of my mom's old clothes. My mom was wearing something extremely similar to what I was wearing. He was questioning my womanhood by criteria that would've made my mother not a woman. He repeated his delusional garbage about the staircase of transitioning and I was eventually sent home and told to come back in a week again.

And like the desperate and dumb idiot I am, I returned next week. I got some help from my mom for my makeup, wore some of the most feminine clothes I had at the time because, again, I’m fucking poor. I can’t go buy a new wardrobe. Cool. Maybe this visit’ll go better. I set down, have a long talk with the doctor again.

...and I hear the exact same fucking bullshit. This time I tell him to his face I’m wearing my mom’s clothes. Me and my mother worked hard on getting any sort of makeup to look nice and fitting because I seriously had no idea how to work makeup. But he again brought up the fact that I wasn’t wearing heels and that I brought such a ‘masculine’ hoodie with me. It’s a FUCKING HOODIE. Because it was winter and COLD. It’s the world’s most nondescript hoodie ever. How the fuck are you gendering a fucking hoodie? He goes on to tell me that I’m really not trying hard enough. I would need to actually ‘live as my preferred gender’ for several years before he could even consider prescribing hormones, especially if I was going to ‘pretend to be a man’ like I apparently was.

...for wearing my mother’s hand-me-downs.

But no, it gets worse. He starts laying on the ‘doll yourself up’ shit to the point were it was getting seriously uncomfortable. He started asking me detailed questions about my sex life (fuck off?) and repeatedly asked me ‘how i masturbate’ and made sure I knew that I had to answer this for the sake of transitioning. Some sixty year old white guy wanted me to go in *actual detail* about this. And I have no real choice, because I’m insanely dysphoric and want to have SOME sort of comfort in my own skin. After politely trying to not answer the question, I eventually have to go in excruciating detail about these things. About what I ‘think about’ or ‘look at’ or what role I fantasize myself being in. And about what I physically do. He gave running commentary on every single thing. I finish up the appointment, feeling like I have to vomit from how uncomfortable the entire situation is. I get told he’s going to talk it over with his ‘colleagues’ and see if they can ‘reach a consensus’ on perhaps giving my hormone therapy early. I get told I need to come back next week.

So I come back next week. It’s like a five-minute appointment in which he told me no,, I’m not getting hormones. Maybe in four years. Because I’m just not trying hard enough.

I got told to come again next week. Through the course of the week, I started realizing the shit that was going on was not okay, partially from talking to it with my now-wife and being told how ridiculous all of this is. I call out and cancel all upcoming appointments because I realize he spent the entire time gaslighting me to my face and asking me shit that was very definitely just sexual harassment. It was insanely heartbreaking to just be told I’m not going to be able to transition because a group of old men decided I’m not really a woman. Imagine how fucking ridiculous that is. I’ve only talked to one of these people.

And they decided I’m not a woman.

...and later I get like five or six bills of over 200 euros because I canceled and not only did decide to bill me for the canceled appointments, it turns out they were also billing me for the ones I also went to. I end up in healthcare debt over the fact that I couldn’t instantly pay all of them (because they all arrived!! At once!!) and my monthly premium went from like 80 bucks to 200 bucks as a result.

I started telling myself that I must’ve just gotten the worst possible doctor. That this was some sort of insane thing that happens to like, nobody else. I started talking with some of my other foreign trans friends, and they all come out with similar experiences. I know multiple people in Sweden who, after several years, are still being gaslit to their face about how not trans they are. That this is normal.

That this is how European health care just kinda treats trans people. By telling them they’re crazy.

There’s no real political movement in Europe to fight against this garbage. This is just how it is. When Joe Biden got asked a question about trans rights in the town hall leading up to the election, I felt something so overwhelming, that I’ve never felt before. Even if his answer wasn’t the best, he showed any sort of care. He showed a desire for progress. He actually has any desire to represent me. Even if people wanna spin it as fake support to earn votes, that’s more than I’ve ever had before.

I can’t really describe how happy I am that Joe Biden is winning the election. And I can’t really describe how much it hurts for people to dismiss the suffering of trans people by pretending Europe is some sort of utopia that does everything better, all of the time.

Anyway, I have no idea why I typed this all out. Wanted to vent this out now that the election actually feels like it’s over, I guess! I hope I could offer you at least a hint of a new perspective to why I’m so happy Biden is winning even though I’m a pretty heavy leftist from Europe that grew up in poverty. There’s more I wanted to say, but I feel emotionally drained from typing out all this traumatic shit.

I wasn’t able to vote in this election, because I’m not a citizen yet. But god, I am elated.

Can't help but feel if you actually give a shit about the high rate of suicide in "the trans community", maybe don't cheer on people failing their psych eval and then ignoring the results because they weren't what they wanted and then overtly assuming transitioning is like hitting confirm on a character create screen and rejecting the idea that it's a process they need to go through and prepare for.

Because if you want people self-deluding they have a magic bullet fix for all their perceived problems, that turns out to then not solve any of their actual problems, that's how you get high rates of suicidal ideation.

I mean doesn't this statement works for both sides?

yeah I mean we know people saying "count the LEGAL votes" mean to imply that there is some kind of epidemic of illegal votes, but everyone should agree with the sentiment

count the legal votes, which includes mail-ins and gives us the exact final result we have now
