Ops Manager, R. Smelt Logistics Ltd. 2 boys (one enby #proud), a lovely wife, and a springer 🐶 keep me young. Problem-solver. He-him. Friends calls me Crouchy.
@LolsysL@LeatherGc We won’t stop talking about this until it stops. If you cared about children, you’d be angry too.
Not long now til it does stop, if you’ve seen the new NHS service standards/contract terms. Thank goodness.
@LolsysL @TwitterSafety That makes no sense. Everyone should be saying that we shouldn’t sterilise kids or taking away their ability to orgasm.
It’s the people who want to do these things who have lost the plot. Thankfully, in the UK, the medical establishment is waking up to the harm it has caused.
@MavenOfMayhem Very true.
But it does say something when an entire movement refuses to engage in a debate over the practical changes it is demanding to see to legislation and policy.
@AmeliaCrowley3 @Gecs10000 Was about to start explaining the problems with those studies, but, to be honest, I doubt you’d listen. We just need to let this play out over the next ten years to see the true detransition rate. I hope it’s as low as you suggest, but I doubt it will be, & that’s heartbreaking.
@Steveimho @MavenOfMayhem I accept everyone for who they are, not who they are not.
Trans people must have their rights respected as trans people.
That’s not the same as saying trans people should have rights respected as if they have changed their sex, when they have not.
@Trizetacannon I don’t care whether you call/think me a transphobe or not.
What other people think about me is none of my business.
We should all adopt that belief. It has served me well.
Question for genderists:
Do you want a world in which kids are routinely subjected to invasive medical treatments/procedures? I’m not asking if you want to force all kids to transition. I’m just asking how much prepubescent/adolescent medicalisation exists in your utopia?
@Trizetacannon So you don’t trust individual doctors, but you do, at least, trust the medical establishment, in terms of its broader evidence-based approach.
I agree with you. In fact, I believe we’re seeing this establishment reassert itself right now.
