An autoethnographic critique of a past report of inpatient psychiatric treatment for gender diverse children

Conclusion
The balance of evidence indicates that efforts to suppress or change gender identity & sexuality are ineffective, & actively harmful.

An autoethnographic critique of a past report of inpatient psychiatric treatment for gender diverse children
Contrary to ongoing representations of efficacy, “therapy” that aimed to change or suppress a gender diverse child served to delay self-acceptance for two decades and caused long term harm

This is a gem from the archives :
Brian May plays "Good Company", his ukulele-based ditty from Queen's classic "A Night At The Opera" album for the first (and only) time ever at The New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth on his tour with Kerry Ellis back in 2012.

At this 1996 Olympics the reigning Olympic Champion was banned from competing because she was a woman.

@TracyEdwardsMBE is claiming women are weaker than men & trans women on GAHT in shooting. She is wrong on both accounts

There is no evidence that shows 46 XY DSD women (competing naturally),or trans women who suppress their T(through hormone therapy or surgical gonad removal) possess any physical performance attributes that is neither attainable nor present in 46 XX women.

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Hahaha, not a very good example of a trans athlete dominating. She never played in a single winning team in this low division community college league. She wasn't good enough to even start a a game & she retired 14 years ago🤣

Trans is defined in many areas especially in sports.

Not all trans women are recognized women in sports.

Sports require trans athletes to meet stringent hormonal & other requirements as a prerequisite to even be considered a recognised trans woman in F sports.

In 🇦🇺, Trump would not pass a working with children's check (WWCC). Fact: There have been more individuals named Donald Trump than trans women or drag queens who have been legally found liable for sexually abusing a woman in a New York women's changing room.
