This - don’t tell teenagers who are finding puberty difficult that they’re going to be erased etc. Growing up is hard (I hated it, most girls do) but humans have managed it for generations without genital surgery and without being given very damaging blockers and hormones.
Adolescents experiencing gender distress deserve honesty, not apocalyptic messaging. Telling adolescents that society is trying to “erase” them, “push them out of public life,” or that they are victims of a “trans genocide” can deepen fear, hopelessness, and alienation. Responsible adults should be helping them build resilience, not convincing them the world is out to destroy them.

“Even the most skilled actor cannot override biological reality.” My latest for @spikedonline on why casting a woman as Mr Palmer ruined an otherwise excellent adaptation of Sense and Sensibility - and why ‘identity casting’ is damaging the film industry. Read below 👇

Hey @TheGreenParty @ZackPolanski What's your view on women meeting together in groups of more than two and discussing female health issues without the necessary authorisation (in triplicate) from men like yourself? #Misogyny
Apparently @GussieGrips talking - over Zoom - about incontinence experienced by women in a fringe meeting at Green Party Conference was so awful, these men organised a display of their unhappiness with a big flag. Elaine can be heard at the end discussing urinary incontinence

.@GussieGrips was fantastic. The protesters intended to march their banner in front of the screen to disrupt the meeting, but the @GreenPartyWomen committee dealt with the protesters calmly and firmly. These men insist on forcing themselves into the centre of women's spaces.

The Green Party is now officially, by policy, anti women and anti Jewish. It has nothing useful to say on, er, green issues. It is a laughable extremist toxic mess, and it will be voted into oblivion as it becomes madder and madder. A repulsive band of deranged and pious morons.

This is one of the clearest demonstrations of the fact that some activism is only about men’s domination over women.
Women talking about pelvic floor health is transphobic.

Elaine @GussieGrips Miller is notoriously concerned with women's pelvic health. How very dare she!

Someone needs to set up an account for @TheKimchiCroissant of Kemptown.
I wonder what Kimchi Croissant‘s position on these shenanigans is?

Talk on how to manage your periods in environmentally sustainable ways, with a bit of pelvic floor exercises promotion on the side is protested by young, mostly male, Green Party members I’m glad - let them speak.
there are no words women can use to talk about themselves that won't seem unreasonable to misogynists convinced that the act of women talking about themselves is inherently selfish and unreasonable.

Replying to @ripx4nutmeg
We all know that humans can’t change sex. As doctors we really want our patients to do well, to be healthy. We are concerned about how life developed for this young man, and if he is OK. Cross sex interventions don’t improve long term health or happiness but it can take many years until people come to understand this. Almost every day we come across a new story of transition distress. Cross sex interventions must STOP 🛑
