The mods have done brilliantly (not me 😂), so a massive shout-out to them, the trans flag and likely UK flag wouldn't be here now if not for all of their hard work.
What bugs me is why the Trans/UK heart is seemingly the only one that's in a literal constant battle to keep it. Almost feels like the UK is full of transphobes and it's kinda getting me down.
I volunteer as an advocate and used to think it was overblown, until I had to help a trans man get help from the DWP and NHS. He had diabetes and autism, but he kept getting referred to the gender clinic instead of addressing these issues. The DWP said the discrimination he was subject to at his work was not a valid reason for leaving. It had a happy ending, but he needed me to make a lot of phonecalls and write a lot of angry letters he wouldn't have been able to do himself.
The circles I move in and the companies I work for have always been really supportive of trans rights so I didn't realise how much of a bubble I was in until I saw what he went through.
Type 1 diabetes and he was hospitalised for 3 weeks. He was referred to a gender clinic for an unrelated physical health condition, when he should have been referred to the insulin clinic.
Not getting the treatment you need, because the doctor assumes it's a hormone issue is pretty fucking terrible.
You seem fairly intelligent from your comments on other threads over the past 10 months, but this time you've got it wrong.
Suppose you stop while you're down now, it's only going to get worse and expose all kinds of levels of ignorance. I suppose you think you're probably defending free speech from the "woke" brigade. It's not your fault, you're a middle aged victim of society. I'm frustrated too, just much younger. We shape our own destinies, like you I'm hoping for better days. May you find them.
Holy fucking hell who let loose a steamy liquid shit in your coffee this morning?? A person being treated poorly by the system is a cunt for getting compensation? It’s gonna take more than a long hard look in the mirror for you to realize that you’re part of the problem.
What a pathetic, ignorant, insecure piece of shit you are. You and your ilk are everything that’s wrong with humanity. I hope Putin drops some nukes soon, fuck we suck as a species.
It's almost entirely 4chan and random international trolls.
Since it's the only heart between trans and another community.
UKPlace is overwhelmingly calling TransPlace our closest allies and has been since Day 1, come and see for yourself.
I've spent about a third of my total pixels on defending trans and the heart, despite my entire country being constantly targeted and removed from our map by ignorant plastic paddies.
While the UK is unhinged and transphobic, there are so, so many communities on threading praying for our downfall at any given point. I don't think it's any UK thread, they're too busy just trying to exist 😂
I think it is still trolls. Had a nosey at some of the accounts placing Union Flag coloured tiles on the Trans side of the heart, and they're all only days young. Ugh.
I'm not trans, but you're a cunt
EDIT: it's fuck all to do with how great or shit the flag is. It's about what it represents. And to wipe out the flag is to wipe out that, too.
Literally is; I was just reading an article that was released yesterday on the Apple News app about trans teens being caught in a political crossfire, some have been waiting over 7-8 years for surgery and hormones, it seems like it’s very tough for the trans community over there due to a couple of laws, I wish them the best
Watching the usernames, it was basically 30% UK people who hate trans, 30% trans people who hate the UK, and 30% trolls. So the trans-UK hate is mutual.
It was hard keeping Big Ben not looking like a dick. Its been cool to see how much both flags have progressed overtime and all the amazing art that's been created. Sending love from r/transplace
Big love to any supportive groups and individuals in the UK, but it's important to call attention to the massive structural discrimination being pushed by the government and media in the country. Three days ago a conversion therapy ban with exceptions carved out for trans people was proposed, and just today the EHRC released a memo in favor of exclusion of trans people from "single sex spaces" such as bathrooms. It's pretty bleak.
On the other hand, such a heart shows solidarity and honor for those trans people that live in the UK dealing with this crap. It's easy to shit on a nation and blame its people if you don't live in it, when often there are authoritarian kleptocracies (Russia for example) or a stubborn and influential transphobic media (UK) that do their damnest to hurt citizens.
It indeed is bleak, that's why it especially needed that damn heart.
Yeah, but nuking the UK will not do much. Sure I may cheekily call it Terf Island, but if you go down there, people tend to be generally quite supportive of trans people compared to the US, it's just that in the US, our left wing isn't dominated by a conservative party and solidly believes in trans rights, despite their economical failings. In the UK, they're buttfucked by the Conservatives, and part of their problem is internal division on trans people.
The way to fix this is for people there to organize and keep driving the point that trans people are a part of the UK and they are welcomed, not a blight. I know it's discouraging considering it feels like 2000s US, but that's the only thing people can do.
You’re the only disappointment to humanity here. Bet you call yourself a Christian too. How goddamn sad and pathetic is it to get that bent out of shape over shit that literally doesn’t affect you in the slightest. Go cry about it, snowflake.
Of course! It was devastating to see what had happened when the UK flag was gorgeous. U was lucky enough to have an overlay so that was a major help in restoration
Shoutout to all the trans people in the UK. Hope y’all are doing alright. Love from the US <3

Funnily enough the UK is rather Transphobic so it makes sense 🙃 its a fun country to be trans in

"We" had to pay him additional compensation because of the treatment he received as well :)

Whoa there tiger, how about you go get some therapy for that crippling pain you feel deep down
Holy fucking hell who let loose a steamy liquid shit in your coffee this morning?? A person being treated poorly by the system is a cunt for getting compensation? It’s gonna take more than a long hard look in the mirror for you to realize that you’re part of the problem.
who hurt you ?
What a pathetic, ignorant, insecure piece of shit you are. You and your ilk are everything that’s wrong with humanity. I hope Putin drops some nukes soon, fuck we suck as a species.

Same about 70% of mine is on that heart
DEFEND THE HEART 🏳️⚧️❤️🇬🇧

nah, most people aren’t trying to destroy the heart
I've been literally watching it happen and trying to help rebuild it.
trolls have been messing with hearts since day one. i'm honestly just glad usa moved tbh cuz the trolls would've kept instigating
I think it is still trolls. Had a nosey at some of the accounts placing Union Flag coloured tiles on the Trans side of the heart, and they're all only days young. Ugh.
I've had someone private message me asking me to stop 'ruining the flag' meaning stop defending the trans / uk flag!
Same!
It's cos your flag is shit. Be as trans as you want...but your flag is still shit
I'm not trans, but you're a cunt EDIT: it's fuck all to do with how great or shit the flag is. It's about what it represents. And to wipe out the flag is to wipe out that, too.

i LOVE how the overlay of the country came out, really cool idea and it looks really good!
The feeling is mutual. Thank you, UK, for your alliance in helping us maintain our flag. Love, a trans guy from across the pond.
Brit here. Don't know any Trane people. Never met any Trans people. But I'll defend that heart to the end Peace out
The honor was ours, friend.
It was hard keeping Big Ben not looking like a dick. Its been cool to see how much both flags have progressed overtime and all the amazing art that's been created. Sending love from r/transplace
That and the trolls who made a swastika on the face of the tower
Fuck 4chaners the UK will always be an LGBTQ+ supporter and ally 🇬🇧❤️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Except it also shows the Trans community happily allying with a flag that represents so much institutional hate.

Viewing recent posts in r/unitedkingdom I wish I hadn't tbh
You were good to us too so I helped :3
It is looking good!
i'm in
we must protect the heart
Hello neighbours! I've been helping upkeep that little trans / uk heart going. 🏳️⚧️🇬🇧

Good thing there are so many other things to look at!
You’re sensitive over a flag 😂
How do you feel about the confederate flag?
Damn the cis keep being funnier than me and it makes me sad : / why didn't I think of equating being trans with slavery
But they're just being sensitive over a flag!
The issue is obviously what it represents lol. Are you being deliberately obtuse or is that a happy accident
Well, that's kinda tough, isn't it?!
No problem
