Medical Women's Federation - TWAW

I don't know. Everyone can potentially get breast cancer, so that's right, though I don't think the incidence is high enough to make population screening like mammography effective. If there is less prostate cancer among transwomen, I'd like to see evidence that it's not due to transwomen dying younger, as prostate cancer iirc is a disease of old age. However, I know that female hormones have some role in prostate cancer treatment so maybe they're right. I'd be amazed if there was much evidence.

Added to which it's really dangerous.

There's a transwoman in those threads who is insisting that since hormone treatment has caused breasts to grow, it's important to watch out for breast cancer. However, since the hormones also cause the prostate to shrink there is now no worry about prostate issues.

That can't be right, surely?

I'm scared. An FB acquaintance of impeccable fluffiness recently posted general support for Kathleen Stock (she's also an academic) and got so so much intense pushback in quite harsh terms. I never use FB for anything political, I don't have the guts.

It's awful when you see it in real life isn't it ? I know a perfectly normal reasonable pleasant nice man who went apeshit when a friend (very mildly) said "I don't think you have thought it through".

He is a well educated man, accustomed to being able to argue his point and I think he suddenly felt backed into a corner and had to revert to aggression because there was no alternative.

Twitter is like that. Perfectly normal people suddenly lose their shit, often because they know they are being proved wrong.

Oh bollocks, one of the men giving Dave Curtis a kicking is the husband of someone I know. My acquaintance's husband comes across as a really unpleasant piece of work, one of the doctors I could do without, though I don't doubt his clinical skill.

I'll paraphrase a Ben Shapiro video I was watching the other day.

"If you show me a doctor who says that men can be become women, I'll tell you that the person is not a doctor but an activist".

www.medicalwomensfederation.org.uk/about/who-s-who?view=article&id=349:mwf-president-professor-chloe-orkin&catid=15:officers-of-the-medical-women-s-federation This is the president. she is female but is very immersed in gender woo

I'm a doc and I'm not surprised. Anything with women in the name has been infiltrated and the MWF has always been quite lefty and keen on "inclusivity" but they also give award for men who are good feminist allies which is a bit cringy.. Interestingly it says in their manifesto that women should be able to see women doctors if they wish...

Loads of likes, but an awful lot of implications about his career . I wonder did he know what he was letting himself in for.

If you google Dr. Dave Curtis and it’s the same guy he specifically studies/studied Genetics, Evolution & Environment

Div of Bioscience

So, if it’s the same guy, no wonder he knows sex matters.

Oh my days.
Do they think that's all the evidence needed?
The rabbit hole is actually bottomless.

Poor Dave Curtis, whoever he is . All he said was that doctors know that women are women and transwomen are not.

I'd say there was probably a real life pile on as well as the totally bizarre twitter stuff.

Oh I'm all mixed up!

It's Dave Curtis who's closed his account not the women's medical association.
Unfortunately, they're still active.

"This Tweet is from an account that no longer exists" apparently.

I can't imagine Twatter would ban an account that is so pro-TRA, so can only assume they've closed it themselves?

Maybe the intern who posted that Tweet is getting a bollocking.

My guess is that India Willoughby's doctor will be the first to declare that he's found a mtf trans with a cervix

How depressing. But then medicine has always been incredibly misogynistic arising from its history and working culture I guess, even though these days the majority of med students are female.

@ErrolTheDragon it’s more having to say it at all. It has nothing to do with anything in this instance. The same if it was having to clarify men means even the ‘gender diverse’ men.

I should’ve made that clear in my original post.

Hang on, this could be a golden opportunity!

if anyone knows how Transwomen become women, it's got to be these doctors. They could finally clear up this debate by giving us some nice, crisp, clear definitions.

I’m just embarrassed for them - I’ll wait for them to tell me when they’ve found the first uterus in a TW, fucking morons

One of the replies did make me chuckle "your mind is so open your brains have fallen out"

The vast majority of the responses I can see are ridiculing the tweet. I haven't yet seen any doctors supporting it.

The replies to the original tweet by Dave Curtis include loads of (claimed) doctors spouting that twaw. When Curtis offers to debate them they of course all refuse.

Ffs it’s lunacy

Is the same happening in men's healthcare?
Oops ignore me, I forgot men are permitted to be men and to be women.
