Always extra horrifying when you click through on some idiot saying some garbage about trans women not needing mammograms etc and seeing they're a medical professional. Genuinely terrifying.

Dear Graham
This one really fucking hurts. I lost Christina to breast cancer in 2014, leaving me with a 7 year old daughter.Â
I married Sarah, also a widow in 2016 and we were bringing up my daughter and her two boys as one big family.
She died, also of breast cancer, in December. Three months ago.
I have three young children who between them have lost three of their four parents to cancer. And I'm not 50 yet.
And this person is gloating about how taking hormones is *increasing* their chances of getting breast cancer? Of needing a mammogram?
Get to fuck you disrespectful, arrogant shit.
I’m sorry, I just had to say it to someone.
Yours,
William.
William - you are right to feel angry. They are playing at being women but women can’t self id out of breast cancer. It’s getting beyond words how callous and self absorbed these people truly are.
That just broke my heart. If you're reading this William, I'm so so sorry. People like Katy are incapable of empathy and with every insensitive word they spew, show time and time again, how vile and thoughtless they are. As someone currently suffering from cancer, this makes me unbelievably sad and angry beyond belief.
