I'd like to add - having read the book - that Shrier talks to transitioned people (TiF's) and is extremely respectful and polite to them. There isn't a single sentence where she sounds even remotely "phobic" towards these people. It is, unsurprisingly, also these TiF's who feel that ROGD is the "new anorexia" and that it's essentially very harmful to teenage girls, who haven't even had any sexual experiences in their lives. (Many of these young trans-identifying girls haven't even masturbated.)

This just to point out that she is absolutely NOT transphobic but is very concerned about this phenomenon - as one should be. Giving hormone blockers/T freely to teenagers whose brain is still very much developing is nothing short of abuse, in my opinion.

But of course, the lil Wokists won't even look at the book, far less try to read & comprehend it. In their minds it's just terrible fascist propaganda or whatever. Which is funny, because their tactics are very much veering on fascism, not ours...

The puberty blocker LUPRON, so touted by trans activists, was developed as an advanced PROSTATE cancer drug.

"Harmless" puberty blocker, Lupron, is also used to chemically castrate sex offenders.

So a prostate cancer drug given to male sex offenders is being given to minor girls - what could possibly go wrong?

There are already stories popping up of girls with constant pain all over and nerve damage. its so painful to watch this unfolding.

I've been very active on twitter trying to dispell the "irriversable" myth there and ive had 2 detrans kids tell me they wish they knew this earlier. That someone told them the truth of the consequences. It made me more determined to reply to any such posts but its just heartbreaking.

Good for you - thank you!

Have you seen r/detrans which is the sub Reddit for destransitioners? It used to be heartbreaking story after heartbreaking story of kids sucked into the trans fad, only to wake up from their brainwashing missing their breasts or penises, or having permanent beards and deep voices.

But r/detrans was banned around the same time as r/gendercritical. It's back but it seems to have been compromised. I read it's because the mods were changed to those more trans sympathetic.

Yea when i was trying to understand what was going on and researching GC, gender ideology, terfs etc etc i quite early stumbled upone a detransition story and found that subreddit.

Like you said its been compromised so i try to support the kids on twitter as much as i can. They have little green salamander icons in their names or bio. So if you see that it's a detransitioner.
