It's worth noting that this was also a pretext to open up new services designed and run by people who push an unproven pseudoscientific "Gender Exploratory Therapy" model that has been likened to conversion therapy by international experts.
In a functional country, this would be a scandal. A service suffering only from chronic underfunding was ripped apart because the media created a myth of 1000s of complaints of malpractice. The truth - as in my family’s experience - was very different.

i can't stop thinking about this one because it shows that the writer knows EXACTLY what this is

why are you saying your OWN POLICY needs to be "sensitively explained" TO ITS MAIN SUBJECTS unless you're fully aware the policy is cruel
The disrespect and dehumanisation is off the scale.

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

The sex pests claiming they were cancelled because they were transphobic book?

If they’ve actually given up on that lie then it removes about half the original justification for the transphobic moral panic.

"Good Law Project can confirm that in 2021-2022 suicides of trans children in England surged to 22, a marked increase from 5 and 4 the previous two years. This spike follows the decision by NHS England to [limit] GAC for young trans people following Keira Bell’s case against the Tavistock."

Something I wrote about 3 years ago on this topic, before any of the puberty blocker bans went into effect. You cannot compromise on the science with bigots. If you try to meet them in the middle, they'll just move further away.

A further reminder to all Gender Critical Activists:

All of your talking points and alleged concerns were drafted and then disseminated and presented to you by a network of ACTUAL pedophiles and ACTUAL sex traffickers and ACTUAL groomers. You're on their side, and WE'RE their opponents and victims

2.5 million Epstein documents are still unreleased with the DOJ saying no further prosecutions are likely to take place. That alongside the failure to redact the victims in this case is a complete and utter moral failure. Release all of them now.

There's no point trying to give ground to extremists to make them happy. Their lives are dedicated not only to making others miserable, but to the endless pursuit of unhappiness for themselves.
