I watched that 1-hour Swedish documentary that Chunkeeguy posted about a few days ago. It's really, really good. Straightforward and to the point, no distracting frills. If you are trying to spread awareness about child transing to a friend or family member, this is a great resource to show them and/or watch with them.

edit: Here's an article about the documentary and about the Karolinska institute, which was featured in the documentary. https://4w.pub/children-suffered-health-problems-after-puberty-blockers-sweden/

David Bell talking on the Nolan Investigates podcast was great too, makes it clear in a fairly concise way that a lot of these children are actually suffering from other problems and recommends closing down gender clinics and reinvesting the money into general mental health care

On a lighter note, here's what may be one of the best comedic moments of the year: https://twitter.com/thismorning/status/1464201060147412995

Yep, I listened to the whole thing, it was great! Also good starter material for someone new to these topics.

What is the context for that clip, if you don't mind me asking? Did he mistake the guy for someone else who came out on the show, lol?

The usual host, Philip Schofield came out as gay last year

Edit: Though it's also worth mentioning, Humphries was absolutely doing a bit. Though I don't think Dermot O'Leary was in on the joke
