This is such a powerful speech, this is courage and integrity.

It is so moving. I felt so sorry for Scott but the fact that they are willing to turn their trauma into such a powerful message is amazing.

Teamsaction · 12/03/2023 19:02

Wow, so heartbreakingly sad but true.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 12/03/2023 19:15

Powerful and intensely depressing. Well done to Scott for speaking out.

Helleofabore · 12/03/2023 19:17

That is raw honesty.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 12/03/2023 19:18

Oof. That's a hard but very inspiring watch.

RaininginDarling · 12/03/2023 19:18

Incredibly powerful and heartbreaking. Does anyone know the context?

BonfireLady · 12/03/2023 19:23

What a phenomenally powerful speech. I really hope it does get heard and taken on board by the US and UK press.

EggBlanket · 12/03/2023 19:30

Follow the money.

Well done Scot.

Boiledbeetle · 12/03/2023 19:31

I hope the right people watch this and actually listen.

I suspect a lot of them know though and just don't care!

Beeeeeeeee · 12/03/2023 19:37

Wow!! Spoken from the heart, the raw facts

NotRightNowNo · 12/03/2023 19:40

Powerful and moving. Let's hope it gets picked up

Follow the money.

Well done Scot.

Totally. Makes me sick. Used to be doctors were to do no harm..... but not when there's money to be made.

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 12/03/2023 19:52

I love Scott. Their testimony is so powerful.

Villagetoraiseachild · 12/03/2023 19:53

Thank you Scott for telling the brutal truth.
May it liberate many people.

Forester1 · 12/03/2023 20:14

Yes powerful and upsetting speech. And agree that those that are trying to argue against what is happening should not be called bigots.

Scott's own experience of medical profit motivation and interventions going awry.

There are some good MN threads about Scott Newgent's views on Biden's support for transition and children.

RethinkingLife · 12/03/2023 20:18

Scott visited MN FWR as @scottnew1972 in this thread.

Thank you @RethinkingLife sorry, I should have been clearer, I'm aware of Scott's story but wondered what/where this speech took place.

ScrollingLeaves · 12/03/2023 20:24

Thank very much. That is an especially powerful speech. It should be spread to as many people as possible.

I liked the was she said was a woman and a mother, even though she is a transman.

This is an interesting article about the commercial side of transgenderism and how it grew.

WhereYouLeftIt · 12/03/2023 21:20

That was a hard watch. Very powerful. And Scott's right, telling the press that they bear responsibility for this too, as they have consistently refused to cover this story.

BezMills · 13/03/2023 07:31

absolutely compelling speech. A gifted speaker. It's beyond tragic that Scott will likely die much too young, because of being subjected to dangerous unproven medical procedures in the name of gender affirming therapy.

FFS!

I'm relatively new to this issue (I started researching heavily in to children wanting to transition back in November for personal reasons) and I'm particularly sad that someone as articulate and compelling as Scott has being trying to be heard for this long.
Even with the Hannah Barnes book coming out and stories hitting the press more, I'm concerned that we don't yet have the momentum to help this break through in to the public conscience.
What's happening to children is shocking. It's also being called out by Buck Angel (trans man) and Blair White (trans woman) but somehow isn't being heard by policy makers.
Incidentally, I'm particularly struck by Scott saying in this older thread that not all of us will agree on everything but we can join hands on this one. I couldn't agree more.
Are there any signs that this time it's working?

turbonerd · 13/03/2023 09:17

Very good speech.
I hope more journalists in media all over the world will cover this.

There is no need to cheer on this gravy train to be inclusive.
