I wish people would stop telling us that all sides need to be heard in the debate around trans people. It's not a debate. You don't get to debate if I exist. You don't get to debate if my rights can be taken away so you can feel safer.

The Government has confirmed today that the publication of draft trans guidance for schools has been delayed again. We welcome this delay, as the Government's current approach to trans young people would be discriminatory, harmful and unworkable 🧵

Ricky Gervais has recently been liking tweets that bully, harass and deadname a trans woman. But the people who criticise him doing that are the *real bullies.* "It's just "facts"" etc.

And "All laughter is good" is such a stupid thing to say. I'll prove it in the next tweet...

Transphobes: Don't worry we must be in the right! We have that guy who wrote old comedy shows who became so rabidly transphobic that his family left him, the lady that wrote the books about child wizards full of problematic racial things and now Vladamir Putin!

The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.

The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.

"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.

However...

Let's address that 0.3%.

Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:

👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.

Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.

The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.

Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.
