Have you ever noticed, that when talking about children, the gender criticals always focus on trans *boys*, so they can claim 'they transition because of misogyny', but when talking about adults, they always speak of trans *women*, and claim we transition for access to women?

A perfect catch-22. You see, if nearly everyone who goes on blockers then moves on to HRT, this is evidence of blockers causing persistence. But counter, if many of those on blockers did *not* transition, this paragraph would instead suggest blockers are an overmedicalisation.

This here strikes me as a little discussed but particularly awful part of the Cass Review. In effect it says 'well okay so you had massive dysphoria, and you feel better now, and you never regretted, but how do you know you wouldn't *really* be happy without transition?'

it argues that a person on T wouldn't have "experience as an adult c*s-gender woman" and, as such, "may have no frame of reference to cause them to regret or [but] may have had a different outcome without medical intervention [and] not needed to take life-long hormones."

Preventative mastectomies have an approximately 5% regret rate. Detransition rates are something sub-1% So, if allowing transition is 'mutilation' and we have to prevent any possible regret... We should cease all preventative mastectomies too, right? No? Examine that thought.

This is maybe the most bizarre justification of religious transphobia I've ever seen - this gay man was asked how he reconciles Leviticus with himself, and answered that he thinks it's about trans people! How does he square that with the GC idea that trans people are a new thing?

@Dams_Lefty @BigYacky “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Leviticus 20:13 refers to gender deception where a man identifies as a woman. ‘As with a woman’. We do not lie about gender.

We're supposed to believe this trans woman made polite chat, then just before leaving said something absurd about wiping her hands on her penis, a complete non-sequitur that wouldn't functionally even be possible? Guarantee you she actually said 'jeans', or 'pants'.

So in Rowling novels: - Trans people are awful cultists - The awful cult cares about 'SJW' stuff like climate change - Neurodiverse people are 'simple' or 'r slurs' - Women are manipulators - But also all in love with the asshole protagonist GC feminism sounds like Andrew Tate.

Holy hell just reading the plot description of this book is just wild. Literally every single bigoted talking point in there. Anti trans bigotry is just brain rot. It’s all she sees now. It’d be sad if it wasn’t so horrific.

'WPATH says 1% of people are trans so something else must be driving all these kids' There were 2,500 referrals to T&P last year. There are 14 million under-18s in the UK. By my maths, that's a lot less than 1%, so that seems perfectly consistent to me Mr Clark.

The Supreme Court refused to review a Kentucky law that compels abortion providers to insert a transvaginal probe, describe the fetus, point out its organs, and play the sound of its heartbeat. So the law stands.

Note that of course such 'feminists' do not tend to also advocate for protecting *men*, whether they're also a minority of any kind, or whether they're trans women that the feminists consider men. Because that's just inevitable 'male on male violence', it's 'not their problem'.

Every single time action is taken against someone for transphobic views, they call it akin to 'book burning'. Do they know any of the books Nazis burned first? Ours. The history and potential future of trans people burned in 1933, and it's taken decades to relearn what was lost.

The ERCC tribunal ruling is unhinged. Roz repeatedly asked to disclose a non-binary staff member's previous identity in a manner so humiliating that they requested no further contact. The ERCC considers calling this transphobia to be 'unlawful discrimination' 1/

But then sometimes they *do* show a glimmer of understanding, in say homophobic attacks against lesbians, they recognise the homophobia, and say we need to reduce homophobia in society at large. But with transphobic attacks, suddenly it's 'well men are just violent' again.

The 'LGB Alliance' hide behind their organisation, feigning support for LGB people and women, but they aren't supportive at all. The only times they actually mention these groups are when they can use them to remove trans people's rights (left) or imply we are predators (right).

As for 'we need careful assessment of the risks', we've had that! We have it, endlessly! At the medical end, T&P are loathe to prescribe anything at all without an absolute battery of tests. At the social end, teaching about identities will not suddenly change who kids are!

Oh, and in case, for some baffling reason, you don't think this is homophobia, let's have a look at who they associate with. Who's this? The Scottish Family Party? Oh, let's have a look at them. Ah there it is, same sex conception is bad, adopting should be for man and wife 🤔

@JamesKelly What kind of pointless poll is this? Of course practically everyone thinks it's wrong, including trans people! The only thing you can use this poll for is waving it at trans people and saying 'see, you're wrong!' about something we don't even believe to begin with.
