"It is absurd to me that the biological differences between males and females is something that has to be proven. This experience has left us feeling helpless, confused, and gaslit." The girls of Roanoke have had enough.
Rep. Jonah Wheeler and 11 other Democrats voted to ban child-transing genital children for minors. I hope that reason and conscience guide them to consider whether we should ban the chemical castration of children as well.

Trans ideologues love to lump "trans people" together, but autistic teenager girls and privileged heterosexual men have very different reasons for pretending to be the opposite sex.
@GavinNewsom
Why should moms and dads have to send their children to schools run by a sect that secretly tells boys and girls with autism and emotional disabilities that they were born in the wrong bodies and need chemicals and surgery to be their authentic selves?

There is no trans community. There are men and women pretending to be the opposite sex, a medical industry exploiting vulnerable children, and a powerful and ruthless lobby waging war on women and reality.
"My heart aches for the kids being told today that because they did not conform to stereotypes or because they feel like they don't fit in, there's something wrong with the body they were born in and they need to take chemicals and have surgery to fix it." Jennifer Black…

@CNN
There are no trans people. We're men or women, male or female. We legislate away people's full humanity when we pass laws coercing people to pretend that a man becomes a woman if he says so, or that someone can be nonbinary.
"A large percentage of trans women are heterosexual and are sexually attracted to women, so that's just one more reason they shouldn't be in our locker rooms. It's called autogynephilia."

"Over time the feelings of wanting to be a boy faded, like I am a girl but I like having short hair, wearing boy clothes, and doing boy stuff but I'm still a girl and there's nothing wrong with it. I'm still me. And now that I'm 21 I'm happy being a girl."

If you have solid evidence that children will die without puberty blockers and hormones, please share it. I suspect you're making stuff up to support your convoluted ideology.
I had a lot of positive feedback and a few good discussions at the entrance to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center today. I can't stop them from mutilating healthy girls, but maybe I can make it less appealing.

🧵"Transition has one of the lowest regret rates of any surgery."
First, that research has loss-to-followup rates of 20% to 60%. There's no reason to believe that these people stopped communicating with their clinics because they were happy with their treatments. Second, those…
The trans suicide myth isn't only an effective tool blackmailing moms, dads, and legislators, it's also a license to shut down any discussion about the medical transition of minors. I'm often told my signs kill children.
I planned my presentation on trans suicide blackmail for 20 minutes, but it lasted for two hours because of the questions: Is that 41% before or after the transitioning? Can you show me the CDC rates for actual suicides for trans kids? When the doctor said "transgender children"…
"Joining a male team wouldn't even be a choice for me" because of the "mental anguish I'd go through being forced to be someone I'm not." Maelle Jacques, trans-identifying boy and NH Division 2 girls high jump champion. SB375 would protect girls' sports and spaces.

I went to a dangerous middle school and this gives me flashbacks, especially the giggling girls in uniform, who think assault is hilarious. It's a good allegory for transgenderism: The grownups in charge do nothing to help.
Transgenderism is a religion that believers have every right to practice, but they have no right to impose their faith on others or to use public schools to proselytize children.

Great rant. Of course her kid was going to commit suicide. In the 70s unaffirmed boys and girls would form in crowds of in the tens of thousands and dashed off cliffs into the sea.
"Why do you hate trans youth?" Youth are trans the same way they're goths. The medical industry discovered how to cash in on a popular identity by turning troubled teens into life-long patients. I'm stopping this exploitation.

@thenation
Lia is a big, strong man, a human male; a mediocre swimmer who’s cheating by competing against women, human females. Those of us who value fairness, respect women, and believe in an objective reality see this as a travesty.
Transgenderism too nuanced and complex for the average person to understand.
But an autistic 16-year-old girl with PTSD is competent to diagnose herself and give informed consent to breast amputation and testosterone.
Whenever a man intrudes into young women's competitions and appropriates their prizes, someone claims that the girls are complicit. I disagree. How can we expect teen girls to speak up while the adults they trust are silent? The trans lobby is brutal and thorough.

Staff at the YMCA Manchester NH didn't want us near their building. I admire their persistence. They've teamed up with child-transing Dartmouth Health to provide health information for children.
"I really haven't felt like myself since I was 13 or 14. I wish my parents made me wait, I wish I just waited. I miss my breasts, what little I had because I started testosterone so early they never actually developed. I hate how my hair has thinned and how I'm now bald."
