Dr Sidhbh Gallagher (the yeet your teets monster) seemed to be able to practise without malpractice insurance. I think she's in Florida

Yes, whatever. You post about exactly the same thing over and over again on every single thread you post on. Don't you ever get tired of being so boring?

I have first-hand experience in what I responded to, for the most part. Unlike those contributing solely with a genuinely held belief about trans people.

Jeez, I thought I recognised the name.

She’s currently being featured on Channel 4’s programme about Brits living in Florida. She’s shown as running a plastic surgery clinic with her sister.

@FireBucketthe only way you get tiny numbers of detransitioners is to follow the rather disingenuous TRA definition which would exclude even Keira Bell from its numbers despite the fact she stopped taking testosterone and sued the Tavistock for what they had done to her. If you don’t want to use pre-2010 studies that consistently see the vast majority desist then I recommend the recently published Finnish study. I’m afraid I’m not techie enough to provide a link but, remarkably, it covered every single child ever seen by their children’s gender services and followed them for the full duration. No sampling. No abbreviated temporal windows. Everyone. Long term. You really don’t get better than that. That’s beyond gold standard. The majority of both sexes in every age group desisted or detransitioned. From a high of (I think) 72% for young teenage girls to the lowest figure of 51% for older boys. And this at a time when every group, internet forum and school was supporting transition.

If you want me to move from rigorous study to anecdote, in my small cul-de-sac we have two desisters. I wish this were not so common but it is. It was a virulent contagion that damaged many children. In the USA the insurance companies that funded pro-trans operations refuse medication and surgeries to reverse the damage. I fear this hospital will not struggle for patients.

We have first hand experience of being women.

Enough said.

Brits? I didn't know Louth was in Britain.

Oh, if we’re only able to pontificate on those things we have “lived experience” in, I presume you’re excluding yourself from any discussion on women and women’s issues?

OK, there's the town in Lincolnshire, but that's not where Gallagher comes from.

Guess she can play the ‘identify as’ card too.

Funnily enough there’s been no mention of anything other than breast augmentation or loose skin reduction type procedures for women on Channel 4.

Not this wank again. You didn’t experience female puberty, you grew some breasts due to taking a ton of oestrogen.

You’re right. Their fantastical nonsense can speak for itself. I won’t get sucked further into the derail.

After reading that DM article I think a service offering a new identity to prevent stalking, harassment and death threats might also be useful.

The internet was a bad idea.

According to this study, the East German athletes who were doped with steroids (i.e. testosterone) against their knowledge went on to develop significant bone health issues.

So please do tell them that they are fine as well @FireBucket

Well yes and not lactating ones. Just fatty tissue. Which men have anyway.

Good. Sadly they won’t be able to reverse all the damage they’ve done to those seeking to de-transition, but it’s a huge step forward to have this available.

Men do have latent breast tissue, which can grow when exposed to oestrogen, TiMs who take female hormones do develop ‘breasts’ which potentially could lactate, they aren’t just “lumps of fatty tissue”. I’m not saying TiMs should try to breastfeed, but they do have breast tissue, because all men do, that’s why they should check for lumps as men can get breast cancer too.

Have you no sense or irony
How were these treatments started in the first place?!?

Nice try, but I wasn't the person suggesting another person be excluded from discussion.

I am a woman, acknowledged by all but the sex realists on mumsnet who I've disclosed my adolescent transition experience to. Probably just a coincidence.

Stop pretending that people can undergo an opposite sex puberty. They can’t.

And heart disease.

All levels and arms of the Texas Republican Party government, including the AG, have made Texas one of the states leading the Christian-organised anti-LGBT and anti-woman culture wars in the US.

Texas Republicans have spent their time in office passing laws to control the bodies of all but non-trans men. There is very good reason why many American (and international) women will not travel to Texas on business, or otherwise.

The AG has been frustrated at court denials of requests for patient information from hospitals outside of the state (reproductive healthcare including abortion, mental health and transition care, etc.)

This detransition 'judgement' was invented by the AG as punishment for the medical system. The efficacy of this resource will be seen over time. But one cannot ignore that it is only a small part of the anti-everyone but men culture war in Texas.

Remember ladies, you're only a woman if others tell you you are.

You know what I mean. Sex realists do what they must to preserve their beliefs.

Yes, very familiar user name and history!
