Elaine Miller - great thoughtful interview here

[pombear]

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....

Thank you pombear. That was a good listen.

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

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?
