I hate the comments I've seen on this blaming her for her "indecisiveness" and saying basically you've made your bed now lie in it, we're willing to pay for it once, but not twice, as if attempting to reverse the damage done to you was exactly the same as undertaking that damage in the first place.

They're not putting together the enormous social pressure on young people, the lies and misrepresentations, the lack of medical ethics and experimentation, the long term medical problems and unknowns, the crushing of any other narrative, and the way it's being written into law and taught in schools, the way parents are being told their children will kill themselves and they're abusive if they don't go along with it, and the way children are being basically groomed and told to distrust and hate anyone trying to stop them, the huge amounts of money and lobbying from powerful organizations.

Most people haven't seen this big picture, because of the aforementioned censorship of other perspectives, or more concerningly they just don't care and are willing to blame the victim again (well of course, it's mostly young women!). I hope it all comes out, and gets put together into the big picture, but I don't trust the media on this.

She's extremely brave. I hope she has personal security guards, and I'm not kidding.

I watched this yesterday and a common thing I've noticed with many detrans people, is their criticism for not having had enough psychological evaluation or the therapy has been short and more of a focus given to getting them set up on medication.

Anecdotal evidence via former clinical staff based at The Tavistock Centre also suggested that there was insufficient counselling given to young people who were referred there. Former patients of the clinic who have since detransitioned all seem to feel like they were failed by the Drs and the GIDS service that were supposed to help them explore their choices, instead of defaulting to puberty blockers.

Im also attempying to find data on those claiming to be trans whilst also presenting with some kind of autism. Im sure Ive read somewhere theres a high correlation with the two.

There was a thread on this in the reddit news sub yesterday. The top comments were surprisingly sane.

And so it begins.
