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)

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.
