Streeting's message to trans kids is literally "there is nothing better for you than to keep your secret and be bullied".

When he says he understands, we understand that he understands what he is doing and knows that it is evil, but is doing it anyway.

@Conor Mc Bride I mean, those of us left came through that and survived after a fashion.

But fuck me, it needs to be so much better for those who come after us. They could be so happy, and the fact that they’re being forced to endure what was done to us four fucking decades ago breaks my heart. Not all of us made it.

@goatsarah Yes, this. And it was being done to me four decades ago, and I couldn't deal with it.

@goatsarah For me, it's different. It's the happiness of the people who came after that meant I just couldn't bottle it up any more. I don't want that taken away from them, even though I've wasted it.

@Conor Mc Bride Physically winced reading that last sentence.

I could say all the things. I’m not sure it would help, would it?

Just that … “what could have been” doesn’t have to be the enemy of “better than this”.

You take care, ok? x
