being trans in the uk is a paradox because the gic want you to "live" as your chosen gender for 2+ years before medical transition, but for a lot of trans people that's both humiliating and straight up dangerous. they want you to have legal documents stating you've lived as your chosen gender but in order to get those legal documents you need a note from a gender clinic to prove that you have gender dysphoria. they want you to have no mental illnesses then have 2 year wait times between referral and first appointment (if you're lucky and get into a clinic with a short wait time. otherwise you're looking at 4+ years)
