The GIDS Audit she commissioned found less than 10 detransitioners in a discharged cohort of 3,306.
Cass herself only spoke to 2.
Other studies WPATH found concluding detransition is low were discarded.
Where exactly is the evidence of a increase incidence of detransitioners?
Adult transgender clinics in England face inquiry into patient care after 'an increasing incidence of individuals seeking to "detransition"'.
6 of these 7 trusts refused to cooperate with the Cass Review.

The idea that there are no safeguards is absolutely ridiculous.
What other surgery requires that you provide multiple psychiatric letters of recommendation even if you're paying out of pocket? I don't know of a single one.
This might come as a surprise to y'all, but Transgender Cast Members have been making magic at Disney Parks for a LOOOOONG time. If you don't think your kids can handle being around Trans people, maybe you should just lock them up at home like Rapunzel.

Wow. It's almost as if Trans Women are actually biologically Female and are affected by the exact same culturally systemic sexism that TERF's claim to be fighting against. 🤷♀️
Here’s the thing, she was displaying symptoms of a female heart attack.
We know men and women experience different heart attack symptoms but culturally we’re generally only aware of male symptoms because of sexism in medical testing and information sharing.
I’ll go even further. If the evidentiary standard the Cass Review applied to GAC were applied to Lung Cancer, the Tobacco industry would remain unaccountable to this day.
I live with Anxiety Disorder as a result of conversion therapy when I was a teen. The most common memory my brain uses to trigger it is my mom forcing me to get my hair cut the morning of my graduation because she knew I was planning to transition as soon as I left for college.
@ASchifty
WPATH SOC 8 cites about a dozen studies in the detransition section to conclude incidences of regret are extremely low. You're going to have to be specific about what study you're citing.

Mia Hughes doubled down on the sentiment in the Space she and Shellenberger conducted the next day. She straight up said it doesn’t matter how many Trans people are happy with medical transition she’ll continue to believe it’s wrong. It’s basically religious fervor at this point.

Good parenting actually reduces suicidality. Trans youth with supportive parents actually have a lower rate of suicide attempts than their Cisgender peers (Typical teenage rates based on CDC stats are 8%), while those with unsupportive parents see those rates skyrocket over 50%:

Kaiser successfully petitioned the judge in Kayla Lovdahl's case to compel binding arbitration. The motion was unopposed by Kayla's attorney Charles Limandri. This case is effectively dead.
Next week Chloe Brockman's case faces the same hurdle.

That makes absolutely no sense. Even if they consider the plaintiff to be a Man, wouldn't it be sex-stereotyping to dictate that because of that they can't wear a skirt? 🤔
Sorry, White Feminism is why Trump won. And no one embodies White Feminism more than TERF’s Being willing to accept Anti-Choice / Anti-Equality policies just to appease your Transphobic agenda is the antithesis of Feminism.
Anti-porn, anti-prostitution, anti-male violence against women, anti-male supremacy, and anti-masculinity? Dedicated your life to undoing these systems and fighting for female liberation? Trump is YOUR fault.
Looks like the Anti-Trans crowd has moved on from "Early Puberty Supression results in loss of sexual function" to "Gender Affirming Care in any age results in a loss of sexual function".
Are we all supposed to be perverts doing it for kicks or mutilated with no sex sensitivity?
@JulieRei
@JuliaMasonMD1
What this study concludes is that out of a small sample, a quarter of trans women who got blockers (at any age), cross sex hormones, and vaginoplasty reported they cannot achieve orgasm. That supports Ryan’s point about risks.
THIS is what "Cancel Culture" really is for Trans people. Dave Chapelle and JK Rowling are "Cancelled", yet it's working class Trans people losing their jobs and financial opportunities for speaking up against transphobia responsible for our systemic and legalized discrimination.

And... I have more to report today. I missed the 2nd page on the Judge's Motion to Dismiss and he already ruled on the motion for Statutory Sanctions for over $40,000!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, these cases are going to end up seriously costing detransitioners.
For all those who still don't believe Anti-Trans policy issues are going to be front and center during this Presidential Election cycle; Political Detransitioners have already filmed ads for the Trump Campaign to be released later this year.

news dropped. The case of Soren Aldaco was dismissed against 2 more Defendants (2 dismissed in Dec), Del Scott Perry and Texas Health Physicians Group; the medical provider that prescribed Aldaco HRT.
How about instead of virtue signaling for publicity points on the cause du jour, you actually made an effort to reach out and make ammends to Trans Voice Actor's whose work you've underpaid, stolen from and outright blacklisted in the past. Actions speak louder than words.

I've been telling TERF's directly that this is exactly why right wing groups are so interested in helping them further their current advocacy against Informed Consent for HRT. They can't see that they're literally helping Conservatives lay the groundwork for a Roe v. Wade repeal.

's case. It's an extremely painful read. Declaration is by Lauren Wohl-Sanchez, who initially consented to her child receiving GAC, but when she revoked consent and DIY failed, her child became intesely suicidal and has been in and out of psych ward since.
This is the truth about what the "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria" (
#ROGD
) proponents are suggesting be done to Trans Youth. Complete social isolation. Even in prison populations, we recognize this to be torture. This is modern day legal child abuse and needs to be exposed. SHARE!!!
Trans people don't need to just be brought on to play Trans characters. We can do gender norm subversion comedy on Cartoon Network. We can play Androids on Nickelodeon. We can even play Cavewomen on Comedy Central. Given a chance, we can nail all sorts of roles!

Quick reminder to all the right wingers claiming The Matrix isn't a Trans narrative because the Wachowskis hadn't come out at that point.
Lana literally wrote a scene into Resurrections comparing Right Wingers co-opting the red pill to the Matrix itself.
I was put through conversion therapy specifically for being Trans. I had psychiatrists and Rabbi’s try to convince me to be gay instead even though I never had any interest in Men. The idea that being Trans is more acceptable than being Gay is just as fantistical as Hogwarts is.
Many, myself included, believe we are watching a new kind of conversion therapy for young gay people, who are being set on a lifelong path of medicalisation that may result in the loss of their fertility and/or full sexual function. 5/11
This right here is exactly why those demanding the extra 9,000 GIDS patient records are doing so in bad faith.
The data will likely show the exact same detransition rate as all other data and it still won't be enough for them to accept that destransition has always been rare.
@assignedmedia
The real scandal the mainstream media is ignoring is that governments are openly using political reviews and "whistleblower" allegations to openly create registers of Trans people. Does no one remember how this turned out last time?
#NeverAgainIsNow
It's amazing to me that the people claiming governmental access to Trans patients private medical records is justifiable are the same ones who just two years ago were whining about how having to show a vaccine card to eat at their local Chili's was somehow a HIPAA violation.
The anti-trans side won't even acknowledge that there are real privacy concerns. They treat everything like a talking point, but I've interviewed stealth trans people whose greatest fear is anyone finding out their transition history.
I despise this comparison. Medical transition isn't a form of self-harm. We transition specifically because we DON'T want to self-harm. My realization that I had to come to terms with myself came after a failed suicide attempt. We transition to be healthy:
"Charlie Jacobs" needs to understand this abuse will end up one of 2 ways:
- Her child will die by suicide and she'll try to sweep it under the rug claiming she didn't know what went wrong.
- Her child will survive and reject her in adulthood, and she'll blame "the trans cult".
Anyone who’s convinced Gender Dysphoria is “just a feeling” should be forced to undergo HRT so they know what it’s like to experience puberty opposite from that of your Gender Identity. Seriously, if it’s just a choice, it shouldn’t be such a big deal to them. 🙄
Apparently this is from Vancouver... just as I was feeling less bothered by the pussy hats and signs that equate womanhood with biology, this reminds me of the underlying ideology behind them and why I go back and forth between being heartened and alienated by Women's March.
A Cisgender doctor took my blood and then called me to say "I'm sure you're a nice enough person, but I can't treat you." This happened in California. But sure

claims Trans people are too invested in treatment and procedures we personally underwent to be able to make recommendations that would help improve care for others experiencing the same medical condition we have. Also note deliberate misgendering of Dr. Bowers.
@CaseyExplosion
Also worth noting that Gender Dysphoria that appears to be sudden by family and friends in adolescence is already noted in the WPATH SOC, and it already has a name: “Gender Dysphoria”.
I honestly don't care what your personal beliefs are. No one has the right to create a hostile work environment. Being fired for harassment does not constitute oppression. Transphobia is not a protected class.

Are you kidding me? I know almost as many Trans/Trans couples as I do Trans/Cis. It's incredibly common for Trans ppl to date other Trans ppl. I've probably dated just as many Trans ppl as I have Cis ppl myself. Please educate yourself rather than continually making stuff up. 🙄
A core issue that will always be a challenge for transgender social integration is the reality that most trans people do not date other trans people.
A transgender person requires a gay person to engage in heterosexual behavior and a straight person, homosexual behavior.
All I keep learning from the
#ROGD
crowd is that those assigned Female at birth can’t be trusted to make their own medical decisions for themselves without extensive gatekeeping. Nothing they’ve ever displayed affects those AMAB. In other words, it’s an anti-Feminist perpesctive.
“I believe that autistic children who are not transgender are being exploited by the transgender lobby. They are being brainwashed into believing they are transgender.” Thank you "Carol" for speaking out, we hear from many teachers who see the same thing.

The Venn Diagram between ROGD proponents and Anti-Vaxxers is a circle.
The irony about comparing Trans Medical Care to Lobotomies is those were wrong because they were about improving quality of life for everyone around the patient and not the patient themselves. That's EXACTLY the same reason they're against transition. It's to benefit Cis people.

It boggles my mind that a certain segment of Democrats claim they won't vote for Biden because of Israel/Palestine. It's incredibly short-sighted. Our election will likely decide if Netanyahu maintains power in Israel after the war, and if he does, he wants to occupy Gaza.

This is something that doesn't get repeated enough. I've yet to hear a single Trans person defending the validity of this case, yet they keep acting like the Trans community is somehow celebrating the plaintiff as some sort of civil rights hero. 🤷♀️
@transscribe
It's impossible to describe how amazing those first few weeks post-GRS are. It reminds me of the scene in "Interview With The Vampire" where Louis has just been turned and he literally starts to see the world differently. People underestimate just how beneficial GRS it is to us.
When my grandmother found out I was resolved to transition, she sent me to speak to her Rabbi. After talking philosphy for an hor, he asked: "Why can't you just be gay?" I responded: "How can I be gay if I've never been attracted to Men?". The confusion in his face was apparent.
@notCursedE
Seriously, this is the same shit that happens in high school. The "cool" kids pick on the "nerds" and the moment they stand up for themselves they act like it came out of nowhere. It's petty and downright childish. 🙄
Does anyone else notice that the way TERF's talk about restricting medical care for Trans people that doesn't affect them directly is the exact same way Conservative Men talk about restricting reproductive healthcare for Women that doesn't affect them directly either?

@assignedmedia
This is the most ludicrous demand in the "Detransitioners Bill Of Rights". There's no medical care for which regret in and of itself is grounds for medical malpractice. They can still sue if the provider was actually negligent, which is why I think Soren Aldaco's suit has merit.
