I used to (pre-transition, he ignores my existence now) have a really good friend called Jon, who despite being a lovely guy, was gullible as fuck.
How gullible you ask?

I once managed to convince him that a side-effect of being deaf was that you became nocturnal, evidenced by the fact the sign-language assisted programs were always on TV between midnight and 6am.
For a good 9 months, whenever he noticed a person with a hearing aid, he would nudge me and say " they're up late!"
😂😂😂
I even remember telling him not to let any deaf people over-hear him talking about it, cos it might upset them.
He just nodded sagely, totally missing the glaringly obvious. 🤦🏻♀️

"Following a Freedom of Information request (FOI) sent to Exeter GIC, it has been revealed on Reddit that during the period 01/12/19 and 30/11/20, only TWO patients were assessed by the Laurels gender clinic...
...The request revealed some shocking figures, including the fact that the current number of patients on the waiting list is 2,592 and the longest time someone has been on the waiting list in days is 2,092 – which is almost six years...
I have some PAID opportunities for trans men, non-binary humans, and trans women who are willing to act as lived experience speakers as part of a well-respected charities 'Trans Awareness Training' program. Full training given, no experience necessary.
I will collate a list of interested parties over the next day or two & then will narrow it down based on experience & suitability from there.
Would ideally like someone who can hit the ground running, but as things develop we will be looking to add more people to our roster.
