I'm letting this remain as a matter of discussion because it's so obvious to us all.

However, u/BEB, this doesn't tell the general public what we're experiencing. You need to make sure to do so in the future. We're not here to talk about all the bad trans things. We are not "Gay Gender Critical". We are here to demonstrate, actively, how LGB are impacted by the multitude of gender-identity follies, and why we want to separate and get back to our roots.

This video doesn't demonstrate it until all of us start discussing. It needs to stand on it's own merit, even to outsiders.

I watched the promo, and it's disgusting propaganda.

Marcy Bowers, a TW, is talking vaguely about policing trans identities, and being careful about trans medicine. WHILE BEING A FUCKING DOCTOR PROMOTING AND PERFORMING TRANS SURGERIES. And then Alfonso David, some random LGBTQ+ lawyer and president of a human rights campaign, virtue signaling to us all about how we really need to focus on trans healthcare because of how dangerous not getting it is.

Are there any detransitioners speaking? There wasn't a single detransitioner shown in the 6 minutes I watched. There wasn't a damn word about how LGB people are being impacted and guided towards transitioning, or how social norms are being impacted and changed.

Scroll down: The link to the entire episode is at the bottom of the OP link.

In the episode, 60 MINUTES has young de-transitioners talking about how they were almost immediately allowed to start the transition process and how they regret it because they weren't actually trans, and want stricter guidelines so that other young people won't make the same mistake.

The episode was good in the sense that it at least gave these de-transitioned kids a chance to speak, which most US media has not.

It's only 13 or so minutes long and worth watching (again, link to episode is at the bottom of the OP)

Now that I know there's more at the bottom, I'll definitely watch, thank you!

I watched the top video and read the article, and ignored everything around it since it's usually ads and garbage, even with my adblocker. Appreciate the heads up that there's more!

Pretty shitty that the real stuff is buried at the bottom. It looks like an ad for another article, not the main.

I tried to put the "Transing Children" flair on my original post but it just keep spinning so I gave up, but as you can see if you watch the episode itself, it is partially about the concerns surrounding young people mistakenly transitioning.

And, as we know, a disproportionate % of transitioning minors are gay kids who would grow up to be happy and healthy gay adults were it not for the money to be made off of "gender affirmation."

Sorry friend, after watching the video at the end, it's still 100% about trans and gender identity.

This would be excellent for s/GenderCritical or offshoots, or s/detrans, but it's not quite right here.

We support detransitioners, but there's nothing about the impacts on LGB at all, and we're an LGB sub. LGB is the focus here.
