Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden).

The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

Azeen has this platform because women in astronomy helped her report major stories about alleged perpetrators of sexual misconduct in our field, like Lawrence Krauss. This is what she has done with the platform. It haunts me. 🔭
It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible.
It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.

It's a certain type of online brain rot to believe that my posts about trans youth completing suicide, while being failed by the adults around them, is because of a cynical social media strategy rather than genuine anger at those creating the circumstances that lead to those tragedies.
Alejandra doomposts & makes enemies out of people who actually support her cause because her relevance depends on others being mad and scared.
It does her no good to tell followers that they're resilient/strong, or coalition build.
In any other context people would rightly call this manipulative.

Streeting is admitting that the Pathways “trial” already has a predetermined outcome. Stuffing it with SEGM placeholders is evidence of this.
The only way we are going to end state-mandated torture of trans kids is to get Labour out of government completely.

The “Pathways” trial is, IMO on more than one level, a thoroughly unethical piece of “research” to be carrying out on children, especially children who are part of a marginalised minority.
