I don't even look at anyone else because making eye contact in such a setting is kind of awkward & inappropriate. Last thing I'd be doing is clocking, judging & challenging who does or does not look 'feminine enough' to pass a standard which went out of style in the 1940's

It is very isolating having a child at a 'special school' as you don't meet or interact with other mums or get to know anyone local - We were the village outcasts & this isolation is really the problem here IMO as it leads to depression & feelings of despair esp for single mums

Many men objectify women, especially once we're in a relationship with them. We become 'a wife' or 'a girlfriend' - an object of desire & service & we lose our identity as people. They treat everyone else with respect except the women they 'own' who are labelled like possessions

TERFs seem obsessed with sex ironically - in a very 'old-fashioned' way similar to purity culture - As in 'all men are rapists & can't control themselves' and 'all scantily clad women are 'asking for it'' - These notions are from 1940's patriarchy & yet they claim feminism too

IMO we're judged as 'failed women' if we don't have an immaculate, attractive home as this is traditionally 'women's work' & we traditionally 'belong at home'. That's not maturity, it's social pressure! Men aren't pressured by tradition to be good home-makers, so it's optional

I had to wait nearly 2 years for my appointment in 2019 and it's twice as long now according to my GP - So 7 months is very speedy & they do move more quickly for young children as school can't get finance for one-to-one support without a diagnosis, so school pushes for it too

You can't even have surgical intervention till you're over 18 so IDK where you got that idea. Puberty blockers will just protect kids from being forced to develop facial hair, a deeper voice, breasts, menstruation, etc. when they do not want these particular characteristics.
