My aunt is a GP, and I'm nearly 100% sure that she would deny her patients HRT, considering her overt transphobia, including towards close family and attempts to convince people to detransition, calling them slurs and claiming that being trans is a 'phase'. It's terrifying that doctors can legally deny this life-saving care on the basis of their vile "personal beliefs".

These people do studies where they show that the treatment works, do mental gymnastics to say it shows that it does not work, and then use these studies to end treatments that people have come to rely on and desperately want, which doctors see working, which are reversible anyway. Is this deliberate bad study design and working backward from a conclusion analysis? its maddening how the most vocal, most platformed opponents who are given official state sanction and credentials, are so badly uninformed misinformed, deliberately ignorant, and do mental gymnastics that cause then to come to the exact opposite conclusions that are warranted by the evidence, if you understand the questions you should be asking, and don't deliberately move the goalpost until its too far away to be reached.

Doctors can be just as wrong as everyone else. I suspect that doctors could be more prone to being more often wrong in areas they don’t specialise in. In the same way just being a doctor means some people will believe everything they say, the doctor could also legitimise their own uninformed opinions. Adding comment to please the algorithms ❤

This is just so vile. Not only are they trying to kill and silence trans kids, they are trying to kill and silence trans adults as well who used to be trans kids themselves and know the experience of it very thoroughly and wish to advocate by admission of their own child self for the benefit of other trans kids. Trans people who had little support growing up, or didn't even know what being trans was, and had to live with the effects of a puberty that they didn't want for their own body, have been saying for years: how if only they had support and knowledge as a child and were able to delay the effects of the puberty that did so much damage to them psychologically, they would be better off later in life as a grown adult. I've said it myself for years, if I had the support I needed growing up I would have been on puberty blockers 100%, and would not have to deal with as much dysphoria as I do now, I have to push all the pain of the irreversible puberty effects down because I was an unsupported, suicidal, scared trans child with no resources. These kinds of lying grifter fascists will always point to and lie about trans mental health, but they will NEVER acknowledge how the current political state of affairs that they are manufacturing and societal hatred and discrimination is effecting the mental health of trans kids who are forced to bear witness to it all.

About that third thing you mentioned, terfs don't care about other parts of the world. There's so many legit issues that women all over the world are facing, there's so many causes they could join where they could actually be helping women. The problem is that terfs only care about cishet white women, cause they are predominantly cishet white women. Women in india facing domestic violence and other manifestations of misogynistic violence? Women and girls in G@z@, or in Sudan? Women in Afghanistan who are being forced out of public life? Hell, polish women dying due to Poland's ab0rtion ban? Women in Turkey being scared to go outside? Who cares, have you seen these trans women, they are eroding my precious victim complex as a white woman, and have you seen these transgender men, they're being tricked into cutting off their breasts and robbed of the opportunity to fulfil their purpose by breeding, and everyone who claims to be nb is just being crazy! /s Terfs don't care about women who don't live in the west. They don't care about queer or racialised or disabled women. If they did, they wouldn't need to invent problems where there aren't any.

Something I noticed was the vagueness about the "other European countries" mentioned as inspiring the Cass review. They're not revealing which countries they mean, because they know that the decisions in those countries were just as pseudoscientific as it was in the UK and would collapse under even the slightest scrutiny. I live in one of those countries (Sweden), and the healthcare system here (Socialstyrelsen, with Thomas Lindén running the healthcare department) pulled the EXACT SAME TRICK as the Cass review two years before the UK. They commissioned a special review from another government department (SBU), stacked that review with gender critical people including the most outspoken anti-trans doctor in the country (Mikael Landén), concluded that the evidence was too "low quality" due to a lack of randomly controlled trials (without noting said trials are impossible and against medical ethics), and ordered gender clinics to stop prescribing puberty blockers except in "exceptional circumstances" or randomly controlled medical trials. The only difference between the UK and Sweden is that people noticed what was happening in the UK, probably because British people in general are actually sceptical enough of the government to get upset when blatant corruption occurs.

In Denmark the liberal alliance party basically spread propaganda conflating the trans community with evil scary communists, then pressed for the complete defunding of all gender studies related research projects in universities around the country. Nobody said anything, not even the press, which were too busy platforming transphobic assholes that were pushing to ban transgender people from participating in team sports on an organisational level. Lockdown was awful and seriously exploited by right wing politicians flying these sorts of things under the radar. We have people here actively claiming they are fighting for the liberty and justice of all danish citizens, and who call everyone who speaks against them "woke" and "easily offended" and "against free speech" while pulling this sort of crap :(

It's curious how transphobes, when presenting the "facts" that purportedly "don't care about our feelings", don't put this effort into presenting what the literature says and why it says what it says. They don't actually look at the facts, they cherry pick facts that make us look bad and ignore everything that makes us seem legitimate.

In one Tweet, Linehan says of one person "couldn't hack it as a gay guy". That's adding homophobia to his already vile transphobia and ableism. I am more than a little alarmed that Linehan has not been arrested, when he has posted Tweets of him stalking a minor, been recorded harassing said minor with allegations of a sexual nature, and has openly admitted assaulting them. Alarmed, but not surprised. The way the police treat transphobes with kid gloves in the UK is disgusting. I reckon the use of the name "Tarquin" is a ruse to trick Sophia into revealing her deadname.
