She's mainly being pulled apart in the comments due to, you know, lying.

No doubt in my mind that she's getting puberty blockers and the contraceptive pill mixed up.

Such a shame as I have been following her since my early 20's and found her feminism very accessible back then.

Am I being unreasonable to say she's talking nonsense??

should have said no right or wrong way but I'm sure you get the gist.

@Mrsjayy

She is one of those people you head tilt at and go "ah bless" Confused.
The most dangerous sort then , really.

Children should be encouraged to love their own bodies and that there is no right way to be a boy or a girl.

What they are being told is horrific on every level.

yourhairiswinterfire · 14/04/2021 09:23

Isn't she always stressing the dangers of things like diet pills, unattainable beauty standards, against cosmetic surgery, etc?

But she's telling her followers that puberty blockers (a prostate cancer drug) for children are fine?!

Indeed, and as a further to the feminist angle to this, because Lupron started off as a treatment for prostate cancer, the only full research into side effects have been done on men who take the drug. The side effects on women and children are still to be studied.

Yes Molten exactly!!

Almost as if this board is about centering females, isn’t it?

And providing evidence to support assertions? That keeps getting ignored too.

Really! Whoodathunkit!

Hopefully that gravy train will come off the rails in the not too distant future.

PandorasMailbox · 14/04/2021 09:22

@Mugginyouleftrightandcentre

She is notorious for, ahem, 'inconsistencies' about her past, so I would imagine this is another one of those times where she has got herself a little bit mixed up.

I was also at an all girls school in the 90s and can confirm that puberty blockers for heavy periods was not A Thing.

Someone who was at school with her popped up in the comments, saying that she's basically talking bollocks (but more politely)

I also think she is a grifter. There is money and status to be derived from supporting this ideology, and she is not the only one who has recognised that.

Except thats not true as evidenced prior in the thread

Which part? Clinics don’t follow the Dutch protocol. When I say all, 47 out of 48 of the Tavistock study continued PB. Another study had it at 98%. So you can be pedantic about the word “all” but it pretty much is.

Yes I completely agree, Underhisaye.

UnderHisAye · 14/04/2021 09:18

She really has become unbearably sanctimonious, mixed with a (fairly large) side of dim. A bad mix.

GoldfinchCharm · 14/04/2021 09:16

FFS. Don't know whether to laugh or cry at this one.

Over 700 retweets (not quote tweets) and counting - people actually listen to this.

Theunamedcat · 14/04/2021 09:16

@NotBadConsidering

It would be great if puberty blockers were stopped so normal puberty could resume, but, and I’m going to say this as definitively as I can:

NO ONE EVER REVERSES THEM

They aren’t stopped. Children who start them for gender reasons continue them and ALL go on to cross sex hormones.

@Helleofabore

OMG!! people posting on this board have a wide range of interests in issues that affect women and girls!!!! No way!

Drugs such as Lupron have been discussed for some years. Despite what some others may suggest, there are many issues discussed here.

Whoodathunkit!!

This is true Princess. And that we should have been happy to be put on Dianette too!

Dandelionsandskylarks · 14/04/2021 09:14

She’s rude and mean and she has a massive agenda. I can’t wait till she stops spouting bollocks and people stop clapping her for it

PrincessBuggerPants · 14/04/2021 09:14

🙄 This idea that women should be grateful for being put on hormonal contraception at a young age because doctors couldn't be arsed to deal with problematic periods properly, is just bizarre.

Do they honestly think it is helping trans people? Because I can't see how it is.

@ASugarr

Can you give evidence of this?
Was that directed towards noob or just a result of an unfortunate posting?

'New Systematic Reviews of Puberty Blockers and Cross-Sex Hormones Published by NICE
Weighing potential benefits against profound long-term uncertainties'
(extract)

"In 2020, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) undertook two systematic evidence reviews of the use of GnRH agonists (also known as "puberty blockers") and cross-sex hormones as treatments for gender dysphoric patients

chocorabbit · 14/04/2021 09:10

The same article also said that about 80% of children who experience gender dysphoria go on to identify with their biological sex as adults compared with only 2-3% of those who had been given blockers.
