It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

As my therapist is leaving for extended maternity, possibly one for good, it's the last time we sat and talked. Two years almost do the dot, week by week sans some singular drop outs of work, which also included many clashes between us.

Calling for + perpetrating violence against and harassment of trans people, has legal precedent now.
Gender indentity is no longer a protected characteristic in law, if anti-trans activists can legally go out of their way to attack someone based, purely on their being trans.

The rush to ban puberty blockers for trans kids is so that having gone through an inappropriate puberty, they look “trans” for the rest of their lives. So they are easily identifiable.

In order words: "Sex is so obvious we are now used to being constantly challenged for not looking the part and happily suck it up".
The LGBTQ community has been saying that targeting trans people will disproportionately affect cis women for FUCKING YEARS. And it does. LGBAliiance treat them like their abuse is acceptable collateral damage to their prejudicial grift crusade.

It reminds me of my pre transition life, where I lost a tooth and gained 2 criminal convictions for stepping in and resolving a cis dudes who struggled with the concept of "no" regarding random women in the public.

Not one has said that men need to hold each other accountable to stop situations where men feel like they can act in a certain way and get away with it.
