Aesthetics & Bigotry -- In their world, we are diseased, and they are better than us by way of birthright. When they're forced to reckon with the fact this isn't true, it's hilarious and beautiful.
I feel deeply vindicated to be even more sure that Dr Upton is in the right and hopefully will be totally vindicated. I have cried about this case many times in the last few weeks.
Dr Upton and I share many similarities- we are young doctors and we are trans women. We even look fairly similar it would seem. I have been lucky to feel mostly accepted at work since my transition although it has indeed come at significant personal and professional cost. I have read a lot about this case in the press and social media (ugh) and I am terrified that a similar character assassination could happen to me. I struggle to know how I would be able to cope.
To see her looking so courageous, self-assured and beautiful as she stands up for herself (and all us trans women!) lifts my spirit.
Thankyou Lucy for your tireless advocacy. I hope that you are able to unwind from the gruelling work you do and give yourself space from the often demoralising work of transgender journalism.
Much love and respect from Rachel C (Also from Naarm!)
Fascinating (and unsurprising) that the Guardian column would just neglect to mention the load-bearing information that she LEFT during a resuscitation, i.e. the one time you really should put any personal issues aside – let alone ones this petty and awful – to, y'know, prevent the patient in front of you from death…
It's only an allegation that was brought up in the tribunal -- we aren't aware of what evidence there is, but since the NHS seems set to fire the nurse; it seems that they know something we don't.
It never fails to stand out to me that TERFs will without hesitation use the same invalidating language against trans women that dudes use against them. You aren't real because you're not pretty enough, you have hair in the wrong places, you are too loud, you are too angry, whatever.

These people are as ugly on the inside as they are on the outside.
