If I'd have been born ten years later I could have been sat there writing out the exact same thing. I'm on the spectrum and I can see very clearly how places like GC could single-handedly save an autistic child from being medically misguided into mutilating their bodies and potentially destroying their natural human psychiatric growth.

This. Movement. Is. Horrifying.

This is a mass gaslighting that preys on the vulnerable, we can't afford to be silent. We're standing on the precipice of a mental and physical health crisis where peoples only options are to double down on this sunk fallacy of being sold a new identity and desperately try to fit it OR to admit the harm they've undergone willingly and face down the screams of nit-picking arseholes if they dare to tell their story and, heaven forbid, claim that transition might not always work out.

I was worried that I was too harsh with what I wrote in this thread. But then I scrolled down and read this.

You're even harsher, honey. And I love all of it. You are so right!
