Madeleine Kearns has written a very good piece for the National Review.

It lays out very clearly the issues with gender affirmation treatment in Europe and the US.

This quote was particularly disturbing

Parents who are unimpressed by transgender theory, or who suspect there are other reasons for their child’s gender dysphoria, may not have a choice in the matter. Earlier this year the Daily Mail reported that a British teenage boy with autism had been taken into care because his parents refused to treat him as a girl. And I spoke to the father of Sofia (not her real name), a 15-year-old girl living in Spain. “Our daughter,” he told me,

declared she was a boy when an older boyfriend came on the scene. We found violent and misogynistic pornography on her phone. Later we found out that at least two of this boy’s ex-girlfriends had had double mastectomies. . . . He seemed obsessed with girls getting their breasts cut off [and] advertised on social media where girls could get their breasts removed in Spain. . . . He [the boyfriend] then reported us to the police, . . . but when Sofia threatened suicide, social workers were brought in to help reconcile our family. The social workers turned out to be transgender activists. Now Sofia has been taken into state custody, where she plans to undergo sex-change treatments.

Thanks Erishkigal so I think I can safely ignore the " 54 percent of Americans believe that whether someone is male or female depends on his or her birth sex" and go back to assuming the real figure is more like 98% Wink

Fucksake, that’s why you shouldn’t post when you’ve just woken up!

Here was the tweet (thanks for the right photo orchid)

If you’re wondering why more journalists aren’t reporting on this stuff, consider this. A “6ft 3 ex-Para” male threatening a young female journalist with physical violence. Nice.

Shocked to see, from that poll, on this one issue I'm Republican (or leaning). I'm not American but I always follow their elections and have ALWAYS rooted for Dems. Not this time, weirdly. I can't stand D. Trump but still...

The survey question is quite badly phrased - ‘can be different from sex at birth’

This depends on how you interpret being different from sex at birth, because of course children can be different from what is expected (gendered expectations) of their sex at birth (and most liberal-minded people will agree with that) but they cannot change their biological birth sex (well, they can change it legally and they can adopt the gendered expectations of the other sex, but that is a different thing).

Maybe that is just me, but I found the question badly phrased.
