This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth.

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent
The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

Take a look at the Transparent Pledge and help Transparent Action grow.
I’m so proud to be part of this initiative.

Parents have set it up BUT we welcome ALL OF YOU to sign our Transparent Pledge in support of trans+ people.

In the Alaskan bush, liking school is considered not "masculine." I adopted the role of a "geek" to avoid being treated like one of the boys. I found math to be a good distraction from dysphoria. By the time I accepted I was a woman, I had developed a real love of math and science.

Cis people, how many times have you been asked to describe how you masturbate, and what you think about when you do, to access healthcare on the NHS?

Trans 🏳️‍⚧️ kids are people under the law and are deserving of all the Charter and Health Canada Act protections afforded to them and what Danielle Smith did to them this week is beyond all comprehension of cruelty and I hope she dies.

Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to tolerate being subjected to the sort of abuse, that she has subjected trans people to for years, for approximately one week.

The denial of self-determination to trans kids is rooted in the notion of children as property. Victorian parents lost their shit over the idea that they can't send their 5 yo to work in the mines, and that’s the origin of "parental rights"—a reactionary assertion that parents own their kids’ bodies

To appreciate trans existence you have to face the horrifying reality that trans adults were not cis kids.

This is being required of trans teens in the UK in order to start puberty blockers. There is a limited time period in which PBs are even useful.

Are there ANY medical treatments that require this many pre-requisites? This is designed to exhaust patients so that they age out of the system.
The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.

Apparently, they are comparing two groups, with one group experiencing an arbitrary one-year delay in prescription. But where is the group that skips the blockers entirely and goes straight to GAHT? You need to include that group as a variable for the study to be scientifically valid, right?

Bullshit alert: some NZ politicians (dishonestly) claiming that the puberty blocker ban is about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions and "letting them make up their own minds"

No, that's *what puberty blockers* do. It gives those kids time to work out their own identity.

No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.

This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

Jaimie Veale, the founding president of PATHA and Director of the Trans Health Research Lab at Waikato has written an excellent op-ed for the Conversation: "The government has placed a burden of proof on puberty blockers that we do not place on other paediatric care."

The majority of the UK media, encouraged by the UK's equality body, is waging a campaign to encourage the public, employers and health providers to harass anyone who doesn't fit their definition of what a woman should look like.

This is what JK Rowling is funding.

The HHS report on gender affirming care released it's updated report showing they stacked its authors with anti-trans hate-group affiliated members, several of whom aren't even doctors with any sort of clinical experience. They selected their own ideologically friendly peer reviewers.

It's a joke.
