In September of 2022 the state of rhetoric and discrimination against trans people in the UK and US was so bad that the Lemkin institute for Genocide Prevention issued a statement warning that we were seeing a move toward the genocide of trans people.

🚩 Heads up - I’m in the pub two glasses of wine down and have not read the Levy report, so, correct me if I’ve misunderstood.
May I repeat: for a health issue NOT classified as a mental health condition, why are psychiatrists and psychologists the first line of assessment for trans patients? 🚩

“First assessments should be conducted by a senior clinician, such as a psychiatrist or consultant clinical psychologist, in a face-to-face meeting.”
This is going to be interesting.

“This formulation should include an understanding of how gender dysphoria has arisen”
This is just another way of saying “Despite the WHO definition, we’re going to carry on pretending it’s a mental health issue.
Because, if we don’t, we might actually have to start genuine gender affirming care!”

I want to write a bit about this, because I panicked slightly when I skim-read the report.
This is a massive red flag. It indicates, I think, that Levy wants to filter out trans people who are trans because unacceptable reasons (insert your own guesses). This wouldn't necessarily be a problem...

Ew: "Biopsychosocial & complexity assessment should lead to a holistic, individualised formulation for each patient. This formulation should include an understanding of how gender dysphoria has arisen; complexity assessment should not simply be confined to the identification of additional conditions

Looks like Levy may be dropping at 2pm.
1) Dont panic
2) Itll take some careful analysis so beware people jumping the gun
3) put your own mental health first.

If this post was about Russia every media outlet would be screaming "human rights abuse!" and "Fascist government".
But this is the UK. These people are our neighbours, our friends, our family. And it's OUR government that condemned them to this and is watching, rather smugly, as they die.

We still don’t trust them.
Take, for example, Dr Anna Hutchinson.
She is an advisor to SEGM, and was also co-lead on the training guidelines for the Tavistock replacements.
Many of us in the trans community think that this trial will do nothing more than massage the evidence to reaffirm the PB ban.

I feel like we used to condemn regimes that held political prisoners without trial and then watch as they starved to death.
Now we have one.
Now we have one.
This is deeply troubling.
The silence of so much of the mainstream.
That this should be happening when a former human rights lawyer is Prime Minister…
Peace is a greater threat to the powerful than war.

It's also telling that they sent out a bulk reply. Suggested they had more than they could palm off individually. It also avoids having to address specific points raised by myself and others.
No fear, I'll be escalating as I hope many others do (Be clear on what wasn't addressed folks!)
