Further to a few earlier threads about the various individuals and groups found to have been lobbying WPATH to remove age limits in SOC-8, the latest is The Trevor Project.

Why can't these people just listen to the settled science, eh?

Isn’t the Trevor project the one favoured by Daniel Radcliffe and producer of extremely suspect stats?

Yes indeed, Radcliffe has worked with them lots.

Subject: Concerns About Standards of Care 8

Hi there [redacted]

My name is [redacted] at The Trevor Project. My primary portfolio is supporting trans youth and fighting the anti-trans healthcare legislation and policy sweeping the country right now. I know you're likely quite busy leading up to the symposium in a few weeks, but I'm hoping we can talk sooner rather than later.

If what we're hearing is correct - and it's entirely possible it isn't - we're extremely concerned about the age minimums I believe are in the new SOC8 standards. If what we've seen is accurate, this could have disastrous consequences for the work to protect basic healthcare for transgender youth.

I promise I wouldn't be emailing you at such a busy time if I thought this was anything but an emergency. I know we're on the same side, and I'm hoping we can talk this through a bit. Is there any way we could connect in the coming days? My cell is [redacted] and I promise I'll be on call all weekend.

Thank you so much for all your work on behalf of trans and nonbinary youth.
I hope these busy weeks are treating you as kindly as possible.

Take good care.

Thanks @UtopiaPlanitia , I probably should have made the effort myself!

It's so damning isn't it? Brazen politics and ideology, no evidence or validity of argument.

Who are all these people fighting for the right to medicalise vulnerable children?

No worries Ingenieur, I had a spare 5 mins and was feeling helpful 😊 Thanks for posting the original link - Ben Ryan is like a terrier with a bone on this issue of genderism-influenced medicine and it’s good to see journalists like him taking it seriously.
