    I’m just saying that the surgeries to the face shouldn’t be handed out no-questions asked.

    It’s easy for you as a yank (who tend to think what applies in America applies everywhere else, as yanks tend to be incredibly self centred and trying to project themselves everywhere else) to tell us how to spend our taxpayer’s money. Weapons are needed because Europe is literally at war right now, and the UK’s police are underfunded (except possibly Northern Ireland, but that region is still dealing with the aftermath of what could be described as a civil war spanning several decades)

    Only 3.8% of the treasury goes towards police and 4.8% goes towards defence. Compare that to 18% goes towards health and 22% goes towards welfare.

    We don’t need you lot telling us how to run our country with your BS. We don’t need foreigners telling us how to run our fediverse instances either.

      It’s really telling how as soon as someone critiques the way things are run on swamp island you just get defensive about ‘foreigners’ rather than taking the constructive criticism about your alleged healthcare system.

      I’m an anarchist, I don’t like any of these fucking countries, they’re all capitalist shitholes, some more so than others. Fuck the wars, literally just setting money on fire and acting like the problem is minorities getting healthcare.

      I’m just saying that the surgeries to the face shouldn’t be handed out no-questions asked.

      The only way this happens right now pretty much everywhere is if you have money, then you can get whatever gender affirming surgery you want, cis or trans. The issue I have is that even the first step of this process like hormones and non-invasive procedures are already extremely gatekept, do you think they should be more accessible or less?

        I’ll need to look more into it. I’m not an expert on the subject and to what level they are gatekept. I just don’t agree with some people’s opinions that they should be handed out with no questions asked due to someone “self certifying”
