Exactly. Can you imagine (pick any group of patients..) eg cancer patients or stroke patients or ANY other patient body EVER looking at serious academic research concerns about outcomes for their fellow patients and trying to silence the experts who want to investigate it?
Most patient groups dedicate themselves to raising money to funding research and getting academics interested in their cause to look into it by by funding research programmes- look at something like Cancer Research UK, British Heart Foundation, the Association of Medical Research charities etc there are literally thousands of these charities doing this and medical research is one of the top causes for the public to donate to in the UK year in year.
So what the actual fuck is going on here?
Honestly, to me this is when it’s so transparent that this lobby is just a political rights project to undermine women and children’s rights. The political argument relies for validation on the existence of ‘trans kids’ and their apparent need for drastic physical intervention as opposed to intensive psychological support. Or just being told it’s OK to be lesbian or gay.
The rush to affirmation and silencing of research needs even being talked about is disgusting. They truly couldn’t give a fuck about those kids or they would want the kids’ clinical and emotional outcomes, emotional needs, experiences, any possible alternative treatments etc to be researched as much as possible. They would be calling for as much talking therapy as possible to be offered urgently, before moving on any kid on to any physical approach to transition like blockers, hormones, or surgery.
And in this particular case- The irony of University students trying to silence University academics from raising concerns about permanent reductions in cognition for children. Let Them Eat fucking Cake, hey.
Pretty unlikely once these Oxford students have grown up and moved on, that the kids being put on cognition-destroying puberty blocking medication since the age of 10 could ever aspire to be a woke Oxford student too, isn’t it.
And what do we think those kids would say if they were asked about their experiences of growing up like this? About their quality of life today, wearing a constricting binder that stops them from exerting themselves in any way, possibly breaking their ribs? or having daily injections so they can undergo a surgical egg retrieval before going back on to cross-sex hormones? or enduring the brain fog of blockers? And bone aches or whatever else.
If the trans lobby and their ignorant student handmaidens get their way then we’ll never ask these girls and boys and we’ll never know. That’s what silencing actually looks like. TRA and woke idiots denying child medical patients any voice. Denying children the best up to date evidence based care for their needs.
Honestly the TRA lobby with its fucking glitter and rainbows and fake human rights sympathy are like those cosseted generals back in safety at HQ sending the troops off to battle. It’s absolutely shameful.
