Really pleased to see this. Alley says 'these decisions should be made well into adulthood' and that opposing it is not transphobia.
I hope she's not bullied into retracting.
I'm seeing more and more Americans speak up. Hoping this horrifying movement is beginning to reach its peak there too.

Brilliant Kirstie!! Wine

I wish she wouldn’t refer to it as a “sex change operation”. There is no such thing. Sex is immutable.
There is no surgery that can change it, there are just cosmetic procedures that can give a superficial resemblance to the opposite sex.
Every cell of the patient’s body remains their original sex, and they will never produce opposite sex gametes.
As a doctor, I am beyond weary of people confusing sex with gender identity! One rather expects it from TRAs, but it’s a little irritating when GC supporters are muddled in their thinking too.

Even Scientologists can see it's child abuse.

“Sex change surgery” is a procedure and term invented by Sexist men to help other sexist men invade women’s spaces back in the mid 20th century. No one asked women their opinions on the matter.

She literally will believe any old shit; one of the most notorious celebrity conspiracy theorists out there that isn’t Jim Corr. Still, its about as good as we can do these days I guess..

Indeed.

In addition that leads to a discussion that depends on interpretation with TRAs arguing that a “sex change operation” will only be carried out on adults and so there's no problem*.

  • double mastectomies tend to get brushed under the carpet in these discussions ** the problem is actually the medical pathway that is initiated by puberty blockers and that for nearly all children the endpoint is sterilisation and life-changing surgery

Yes even people who believe in any old shit are not convinced that the transition of children is a good idea :)

Grin indeed, Signalbox
