A huge number of staff resigned from Tavistock due to concerns the clinic is engaging in over-diagnosis and unethical practices. This is all fly-by-night stuff, a branch of medicine that is essentially being made up as they go along. Children are being experimented on. Autistic children are being given puberty blockers after 1 consultation. Little or no follow-ups. An enormous unexplained explosion in the numbers of children being diagnosed with dysphoria and no attempt to understand it or put the brakes on. There is widespread child abuse going on, kids irreparably harmed. But if you say anything you're a bigot.

A recent Bill in Wyoming USA banning Female Genital Mutilation came under intense pressure before thankfully it was passed. The pressure came from trans activists who saw it as a draconian limits on trans gender people. The absolute disgrace of it. Another related point is on Hibo Wardere, an absolutely amazing woman from Somalia, who had level 3 FGM at 6 years old (92% of females in Somalia have some degree of FGM )a procedure that caused every drop of urine that passed from her body to cause agonising pain. She is an educator on the matter of FGM living in the UK now. Recently she has had to publicly ask trans activists to back off attacking her because they say ''Female'' in fgm is transphobic. I sh1t you not! There have been protests outside places where she gives talks by these morons. Other women who have been brutalised by FGM have also been attacked by TRAs. As long as this type of cretinism goes on I will keep myself very well informed and up to date on the whole topic, perhaps to your discomfort, but try and stop me.https://twitter.com/hibowardere/status/1269999207030669313?s=21https://twitter.com/RadfemJana/status/1269389904175419392

Heres a article on the UK where the tories ( under pressure from feminist groups) have abandoned reform to the Gender Recognition Act that would have removed the need for psychiatric evaluation, living as the preferred gender etc. In short - self id.Who knows if the Labour party will campaign on this, I doubt it. So it is probably dead.

I suppose my best example of this is as a 19 year old studying jurisprudence. I had to write a paper on feminism and the impacts of certain types of it. I couldn’t get my head around the belief of Catherine McKinnon that women are fundamentally not able to consent to intercourse because of their treatment by men makes them effectively brainwashed and submissive. To me that was the opposite of feminism and practically was mysoginy. I find some of the message from trans groups as damaging. But still agree with the protection of gender rights of transgender people. I try not to throw the baby out with the bath water.
