I spent ages detailing great points from this interview but Mumsnet new format seems to be stopping me from setting them out.

So just linking to this fantastic interview with Elaine - apologies if it's been linked already but it's great....

It beggars belief that since following GC people, in a fairly short space of time I was aware of vaginal atrophy, increased risk of osteoporosis and cancer etc from taking testosterone, and fully aware of the fact a transman is female so just as likely to fall pregnant as any other woman fully dependant on the medical procedures they've had eg a hysterectomy etc.

Transmen themselves are being shielded or kept in the dark about these medical facts. They're ushered through on a medical pathway with extremely limited discussion of the side effects and everything involved.

It makes you wonder for who's gain? A political lobby that keeps indoctrinating adolescents that GC feminism is evil because "terfs want to kill them" tells them that transpeople are a hated group, which isn't even true? Big pharma? Medical industry? Why? Why is such harm being done to young people and children under such an ideology?

Elaine is so smart.
The outcomes for these trans men is very worrying. Very worrying.
