Mermaids gives 13/14 year olds chest binders—even "behind parents' backs"!—for the same reason other services give them free condoms, contraceptive pills & abortions. Teenagers have a right to make informed choices about their own bodies, & this is historically a feminist view.

Imane Khelif is a butch, gender nonconforming cis woman who grew up as a tomboy with a dad who thought boxing was “not for girls”. She’s literally the blueprint of who “gender criticals” claim to defend from being “transed”, when in fact they’re the ones now insisting she’s male.

Saying puberty blockers are safe for precocious puberty but not gender dysphoria is quite telling. The drugs don’t have different effects in these cases—you’re literally using them *to block puberty*. What you’re saying you have a problem with is *young people transitioning*.

Puberty blockers have been used to delay puberty in children and young people who start puberty much too early. Use in those cases has been extensively tested (a very different indication from use in gender dysphoria) and has met strict safety requirements. 5/9

Transphobes don’t dislike “queer” because it’s a reclaimed slur (so is “gay”, and so is “homosexual”, which I’d argue is a lot less reclaimed). They dislike it because it’s a word/concept that unites cis LGB people and trans people within a shared oppression & history they deny.
