Got thinking of colloquialisms today that I use frequently, and I think my favourite (which is a tad old-timey) is "Oh, they're a good egg".

Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care.
Or congenital organ defect repair.
Or mental health care.
This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist.
It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist.

The joy of having a Google Alert set up my name is occasionally I get updates regarding my Nelson City Council name twin Jesse Woodward—who funny enough, ran the year I had looked at running for council in Nanaimo.
Instead, I ended up taking the job I had today which has been incredibly rewarding.

Two common reasons why people fall for disinformation:
1) anxiety about uncertainty, &
2) anxiety about social status and identity
One potential intervention is to engage the anxiety, rather than the message, and offer safe alternative community.
