I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
So like, OT and not UK, but after 20 years, I finally arranged for an appointment at a shrink (or a nurse first). Not sure if I should've gone there or to a regular doctor. I had to go somewhere and I'm honestly not sure where to turn. Pretty sure I got ADHD and it's making my life bothersome. Would be nice to be able to maintain focus on something (by choice, sometimes I get hyper focused on stuff), also think I got some bipolar stuff going on. Highs and lows you know. Hoping to get some ADHD meds at least. The finnish health care system is being run down as well so who knows, but feels good to have finally stopped procrastinating. Having kids myself and seeing them getting adhd diagnoses helped.

Thankfully I don't have to deal with any disability stuff, but the system as people describe it here sounds almost comically cruel and hellish.

There's also kind of particularly british nastiness to all the descriptions I've read on here (which is not to say that other countries don't have their own flavours of nasty behaviour, just different).

I don't know about 'near every' but a few especially if you're including America.

Mind you one surprisingly progressive one for the time has a mother keeping her interracial kid secret from her new husband because she's sure he won't accept them, but turns out actually he's cool with it and raises them as his own.

There was talk a couple of years ago about refurbishment/repair that the houses of parliament needed and how it would be best if the mps moved out temporarily during it.

Perhaps they should move onto the Bibby Stockholm to demonstrate how great a place it is after all this bad publicity.

It's profoundly weird to read about these ATOS assholes, I can only suppose they're being incentivised to deny applications by financial means and/or through managerial bullying

I haven't experienced that particular strain of evil bureaucrat but then we don't contract out decision making to private businesses. It's not a good idea

They don't even want to take the minute walk to the Elizabeth Conference Centre. Many MPs seem content to stay even as the water gets to their ankles and the rats are eating though the walls.

There was a good while where we were getting articles about how particular Lords didn't want to move because they thought that once the tradition of hanging your sword in the de-robing room each morning was interrupted, no-one would want to restart it when they came back.

Sounds like every time you go into a women's bathroom there is a chance of a fun Hellraiser style treasure hunt.
Whereas the most fun you will get in a men's is moving the urinal puck a bit with your stream of piss.

Yeah, it's a big reminder that a huge part of modern terfism (as opposed to the older macho "trans is when you're so gay your dick falls off, and being near trans women makes you gay, and being gay is bad" transphobic idiocy) came specifically out of opposition to puberty blockers (then called menstrual suppression) in the 90s with rhetoric about "it's unnatural" and "they're sterilizing our young girls" and "having a period is an important part of becoming a woman" and "how can a man know anything about a woman's experience" which all sounds very familiar.

That last one at the time being mostly about the inventor being a man. And also a famous gynecologist who spoke to thousands of women about their experiences, invented the contraceptive injection, and developed treatments for endometriosis back when Britain was still calling it "women's trouble."

Combine that with healthcare being shamefully bad for cis women and the "it's poo poo and it's supposed to be poo poo" British attitude and you can get some seriously stupid ideas like

Where like, the actual solution is for all genders to know how a pregnancy test works, symptoms of early and late miscarriage, who to contact for sexual and pregnancy advice, how terminating a pregnancy works, etc. from school and educational media, because even if you aren't capable of getting pregnant then it's still better learning that stuff early before Alex Jones tells you that the birth control pill is made by shovelling babies into a giant metal cow or TERFs tell you stupid poo poo like that.

And she's been throwing a snit about it ever since yes, like, she thinks she is owed a lordship, like she has a right to it.

God knows what she did to be promised one by Bozza. Must have been grueling the way she's carrying on.
