This is important. Trans people are disproportionately affected by unethical research.
Would just like to point out that Anna Waehre, the researcher here mentioned as guilty of grievous research ethics violations targeting trans minors was a panelist in a SEGM conference last year with a large number of other abuse apologists.
Vi har avdekket at forskerne fikk avslag på fritak fra taushetsplikten og fra å innhente samtykke til forskning fra pasientene - tre ganger.
De gjennomførte forskningsprosjektet likevel.

I genuinely think that trans people need to fight a bigger fight about research ethics governing our treatment. "Trans rights are human rights" is vague.

It's right that trans people should be able to refuse to be subjects in research being conducted with an aim of reducing their options in life, reducing their comfort and wellbeing.

For years, I’ve known that Maitlis was a key player in the institutional and orchestrated attacks on Trans+ youth
Now, emboldened and clearly unrepentant, she's flaunting her complicity
The world can now see her for who she is - someone willing to weaponise their power against the vulnerable

The EHRC's ‘interim guidance’ is transphobic, harmful - and legally wrong.
We’re in the High Court tomorrow to challenge it.

Similar to the Hinsliff article about GenX radicalisation. Beam. Own eye. Speck in others. No understanding
What's fascinating here is that as she rhymes off the list of gender critical people at Newsnight pursuing an explicitly gender critical agenda, in the context of a discussion of ideological capture at the BBC, she doesn't recognise that she was part of the ideological capture of the BBC by GCs.

The narrative put forward by Maitliss is the one you're likely to have heard.
But that isn't what really happened.
The kids lost their care. Some took their own lives. Nobody was 'saved'.
There is no 'trans ideology', just people who needed help.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

I reject the attempts to blame individual or specific judges for these issues. The 'enemies of the people' narrative is appalling. But if we are to restore public faith in the judiciary, especially among marginalised groups, we must address the structural prejudices within our institutions.

If Esther Ghey was willing to say how she believes that this campaign would've stopped some children murdering her daughter I'm all ears.
Instead, she seems to be focussed on Brianna's mental health. Her mental health did not kill her. The hate enabled and encouraged by a transphobic society did.

It's not at all bizarre to have fellow trans folks recognising the behaviour of someone who is failing to respect her daughter in death, seeing as a lot of us have lived it.
