Just saw this article by a man with gender dysphoria, angry that Stonewall have unmedicalised his mental health diagnosis.

What an excellent and moving piece of writing. I hope Stonewall get to see it.

Yes very good points. I've seen something by them about children; the importance of watchful waiting till adulthood.

Seven Hex is really good too; afaik she doesn't use women's spaces either.

This is her Newcastle talk in 2018

This part of the OP link:

If you genuinely want to achieve something meaningful let me help you…
1 Stop teaching people, especially children, that people can change sex.
2 Start telling people that your sex doesnt need to determine who you can be in life. Tackle instead damaging gender roles and stereotypes.
3 Start listening to women. You have an uphill struggle to convince women you dont only care about men. Talk to the Lesbian community in particular for the damage you have done to them and continue to do on a daily basis.
4 Stop legitimising paraphilic behaviour and thinking that should get you special treatment (or worse overrule the established rights of others).
Please, please stop and think about what you are doing. I beg of you.
Gender dysphoria is not a fetish. It’s not a sexual orientation. Its a debilittating psychological illness requiring complex multi disciplinary intervention.
Stop pandering to fetishists and misogynists.

That's a very powerful piece of writing, I feel their anger and disappointment at becoming an oppressed minority in their own community.

One of the comments makes a point that has frequently crossed my mind; when the backlash comes the transtrenders and fetishists will return to public gender conformity and it is others that will suffer.

Very moving and thought provoking. It's sad. It shows just how much damage they really are doing. And that no one wanted this. I'm guessing they are the wrong kind if trans person to listen too though.
