If you need something to be annoyed about...

Here's a long and not very good article from Aeon magazine. Apparently it's gone woke (and lost a subscriber - me.)

aeon.co/essays/the-real-reason-why-theres-a-global-rise-in-trans-youth

You missed their specialness They are non binary and queer (that's straight and white to you and me). I stopped reading in the first paragraph, Transgender Trend are a conservative news outlet etc. I wonder how many lies and falsehoods they can cram in. I couldn't be bothered to read it and find out.

Yeah it seems like the really special writers need thousands of words to make their point. Whereas the terrible witches and bigots can do it in three or four. ("Men aren't women tho", "woman: adult human female").

It's a terrible disadvantage for them, to be fair.

Shame to see a decent publication go down the pan, though.

Does anyone at Aeon do any fact-checking? What rubbish.

From Transgender Trend’s website, www.transgendertrend.com

Transgender Trend is the leading organisation in the call for evidence-based healthcare for children and young people suffering gender dysphoria and for factual, science-based teaching in schools. Our expertise was acknowledged recently when we were granted permission by the High Court to intervene in the Keira Bell v Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust judicial review.

Established in 2015, Transgender Trend has led the way in advocating for the rights of children to reject gender stereotypes and be who they really are without discrimination, labelling or medical intervention to ‘fix’ them.

In other words, TT is very far from being in some kind of rightwing homophobic and anti-feminist conspiracy!
