Will his first lecture be “ How to leave your wife of 27 years for your much, much younger research assistant and continue to lecture the world about morality?”

You may not know that the OpEd was written by a woman who shares JKR’s horrific transphobia. This is a terrifying time for families with trans-kids. How sad that JKR & her ilk do not live up to the message of inclusion the HP books were once understood to share. m.youtube.com/shorts/-1FGZ...

Why are you so obsessed with policing this language? Particularly, when your grasp of the science is perhaps more limited than you believe? (we don’t even need to talk about your efforts to police/influence discussion regarding access to care for transgender people)

ambiguous genitalia, however, some babies will be phenotypically female and not identified until puberty. Same with antigen insensitivity syndrome. 10-15% of infertile individuals will find that they have abnormalities of their sex chromosomes. Why are you so obsessed with all of this?

This is so ridiculous - sex is assigned at birth based on physical features - rarely are additional tests such as karyotyping or imaging performed. For most people that sex aligns with their innate gender, for trans people it does not. 5-alpha reductase deficiency may be identified at birth due to…

Streeting needs to go as well - what a horrible little man

What voices/studies/politicians/journalists/etc. that are supportive
of trans people have you amplified? What studies indicating positive outcomes with gender affirming care have you posted? Have you ever looked into how manufactured controversy re: trans people is being used for political gain?

I think I have read the vast majority of your work.

Of course journalists should examine medical care. Journalists should not, however, fail to consider the voices of a community they write about or the people who actually participate in provision of their care. Objective journalism is good, journalistic activism often is not.

Please post the evidence for this claim. Again, the fact that most people who go on blockers continue with hormone treatment, simply indicates that blockers are not being prescribed indiscriminately and that appropriate assessment is being performed.

And the majority of those who detransition do so due to lack of social support and other issues. Detransition is real, but it is the minority. Limiting care to youth who need it makes it much harder for them to be accepted in adulthood. This also needs to be factored into clinical decision making.

Please post the study you are referring to; as you know many of the older studies that claim to show desistance included youth that were simply gender non-conforming (ie boys who like to played with dolls) not youth that saw themselves as trans.

At the same time I would imagine that you might be offended by a reporter focused on the gay community who only interviewed homophobes or gay men with strong internalized homophobia, but for some reason you don’t appear to see the connection.
