Made My Blood Boil

This person has to perform a very personal procedure daily, went on a short flight and chose to carry out this procedure on the floor of a public toilet meant for disabled people. Bad enough, but what makes my blood boil is their need to post a photo.

This procedure has to be done once a day. Surely at some time in the day this person would have been in the privacy of home or hotel room where the procedure could be performed in a clean and comfortable environment, without inconveniencing anyone needing to use a public loo.

This sort of attention seeking does nothing to help the majority of trans people who only want to live their lives in quiet dignity.

i also dpn't get it ... in my experience, disabled loos are often much viler than other public loos for a variety of reasons. I wouldn't even take my shoes off in a disabled loo, let alone lie on the floor

I'm not convinced it's a selfie.

I agree with you about the state of some disabled loos.

//'dilation' exercises, which doctors say need to be done daily //

No excuse for this. A flight between London and Scotland is hardly a three-day trek across the world. At some time on that day this person would have been either at home or staying elsewhere - either location eminently more suitable - and more appropriate - to carry out the doctor's instructions. I doubt, outside the trans world, such sickening exhibitionism will engender much sympathy - and for good reason.

My feelings exactly, Naomi. Totally unnecessary to do it there and then.

I may be a little naive, but what is daily dilation???

anneasquith

This post is totally unnecessary, is it for shock value. Or for the publicity for them ..?

She says she was "forced to do it" If that is the case and she was forced why is she not accusing the person who "forced" her for sexual abuse. This kind of exhibitionism is what gives the trans community such bad press

After male to female surgery the created "vaginal" opening has to be stretched/dilated to be kept open

Sharon, much like having to keep earrings in for a while after getting your ears pierced to stop the holes closing up.

naomi24

Sharon, as I read it this person had just had surgery to create a false vagina which, in the healing process, I presume, has to be kept 'open' by inserting whatever device they insert into such orafices.

anneasquith, //This post is totally unnecessary, is it for shock value. Or for the publicity for them ..?//

It's not unnecessary - it's news.

Never in a million years would I believe that HH is a woman, even in a dress. I agree with those who say there was no need at all to do what she did where she did it. Thank goodness this person is no longer an MP.

If the point of the exercise is to complain that there are no specific facilities where trans people can perform this function, then clearly it is doomed to fail.

There are thousands of people who are required to perform a variety of medical proceedures on themselves, but manage to time that part of their lives to accomodate traveling, and the absence of appropriate facilities.

The point is not that the person should be complaining about the absence of facilities, but that someone should advise that, as an adult, she can tell the time, and work out the parts of a journey when this proceedure cannot be completed, and work around that time frame.

That#s what grown-ups do, and as advised, this merely increases the perception that transgender people are, in the main, attention-seeking freaks who think the world should bow down and worship their irrelevent self-absorption.

Shame on her.

//Never in a million years would I believe that HH is a woman//

Probably because HH isn't a woman.

If this creature is doing what it thinks is necessary to itself who took the photo.? We can see its left hand and one would assume its right hand is doing this procedure so who held the camera? A damned exhibionist who is depriving a real disabled person of a facility that they may require through no fault of their own.
