people call the UK "TERF island" and while not exactly _wrong_ this doesn't reflect my experience of the day to day reality of living here

in my experience, nobody 'on the ground' gives a shit. cops, landlords, nurses, doctors, all of these had plenty of opportunity to be transphobic or interphobic and if they actually did it was rather well concealed

it's true that it is systemically and politically transphobic and GRCs are awful, but as someone who doesn't deal with those, it's... fine?
