Today, the counterprotesters have started giving out leaflets.
This is because yesterday they managed to talk someone out of going to FiLiA, and they felt that leaflets could communicate such messages more effectively.
They have also started giving out stickers promoting trans joy.

Doctors & medical professionals are & can be allies in abortion work, but they are not the saviours or arbiters of abortion, its meanings, & its experiences. They are not the sole authority. Medicalisation does not mean depoliticised, does not mean availability, does not mean it is liberatory. 7/7

Lastly, I don't think medicalisation is a benign good. Indeed, we know people who were investigated/prosecuted for 'illegal abortions' in GB were reported to the police by medical professionals. 6/
