While this piece is in response to an article in the New York Times it has great relevance to the debate on the subject in the UK. There are a LOT of references to support the points made.

Aside from anything else, it's *so much fun* being socialised as the gender you aren't. Yeah. Really does wonders for your self-esteem and confidence. Anyway. Julia's always worth reading 👇🏻

"What we are dealing with here is a hundred-year-old medical field that has gradually come to the conclusion (particularly over the last three decades) that gender-disaffirming approaches are harmful and gender-affirming approaches are beneficial." Masses of receipts here.

Anti-trans “research” is completely bereft of any scientific, medical, or historical legitimacy, and yet this bunk and its proponents are what’s threatening to rob untold numbers of trans and nonbinary people of their rights. It must be opposed, loudly, with your chest. Julia Serano’s got the deets.

One of my favorite things to ever learn was that trans, and gender-nonconforming people have been a part of recorded history since Mesopotamia… the first human civilization… If being trans is “new and trendy” just wait till they learn about the wheel!

Spoiler alert: there is "current scientific consensus that gender-disaffirming approaches are harmful and gender-affirming approaches are beneficial for trans youth." Julia Serano bringing the receipts with over ONE HUNDRED citations.

"GC/TERFs have made their position quite clear: They are squarely on team “push trans people out of the public sphere.” They may dress it up in esoteric language but if you look at the entire body of what they are proposing, it’s a world that is utterly inhospitable for trans people."

This should be required reading by all politicians. Then maybe we could move forward instead of backwards.
