Most chilling quote in my opinion:

I think there are others, like me, who went to work at GIDS expecting to do complex assessments and differential diagnosis but the reality is that you run the risk of being called transphobic if you propose that, say, a child might have Body Dysmorphia rather than Gender Dysphoria.

Its super important that this gets out. A large part of transgender acceptance among "normal" people is the assumption that transition is only allowed after careful medical diagnosis. But if they're not allowed even voice the opinion that some of them might not be trans, its basically just self-ID which a lot fewer people are in favour of.

I'm glad this letter was published, but at the same time I can hear the response to this. "that's just, like, your opinion, man " We're literally going to have to wait ten years to see how this comes out.

Most surprising part of it, is that it published on Medium and not yet removed, like other similar topics.

I've seen a lot of GC stuff on Medium, is it not open to GC ideas?

At one point they started banning authors I've read, mostly ones that were trans-ideology critical. After that I stopped following the site.

If things changed or that was a one-time moderation highhandedness - it is good then.

They recently did a purge/ban of a lot of GC content, I assume due to mass TRA reporting. I got banned. Some stuff is still up.

It is funny how transgenders are 0.04% population of USA, and yet they or their allies are everywhere in the internet in the majority, trying to get as moderators everywhere. And their brigading is always so well organized.
