3/ It's important to emphasize the story is nearly 4 years old. This is not to diminish the outrage of ppl just discovered it, but it's old news. Trust us when we tell you affirmative clinicians are all-in when it comes to med transition of ppl w/serious comorbid health issues.

4/ Heart conditions, extreme obesity, cancer, life-threatening conditions and yes, Down Syndrome--NONE are barriers to surgical or hormonal interventions. When ppl like Olson-Kennedy spend years peddling the idea of "suicide or transition," anything goes. We have the receipts.

5/ Just 1 example. Winters (not an MD) is a powerful player in trans activism; WPATH, runs a widely read website, currently co-moderates the International Transgender Health (formerly WPATH SOC 7) FB page, among many other roles. Frequently advocates for early med transition.pic.twitter.com/IrQXzfGzwg

6/ This thread documents a group of activists & clinicians debating whether a person w/extreme obesity should be a candidate for phalloplasty, a very serious surgery. The more extreme commenters claim ANY restriction based on BMI is just "fatphobia."https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1029029149564755969 …

Anyone who knows anything about Down Syndrome will be aware that people who have it often also have many serious comorbid health problems--problems severe enough to land someone in an intensive care unit.pic.twitter.com/5MyT0yk98g

2/Aydin Olson-Kennedy, gender therapist & spouse of Johanna Olson-Kennedy (a top gender MD) boosted the fundraising campaign on Aydin's FB page. We thought it would wake the world up to how reckless the whole "affirmation" approach is. But--crickets. http://archive.vn/aFzTG

It seems the Trans Cult is recruiting members like any other cult does--young, troubled, and preferably of low intelligence/easily fooled.
