4thWaveNow founder tweeting here today. When my daughter believed she was a man, I sought (like many parents do) detransitioners for wisdom. Their main message to me: We can't "fix" it. We don't have all the answers. Focus on/expose MDs & therapists who let this happen to us.https://twitter.com/turnthetide2018/status/1148241936404365312 …

A lot of these providers are caught up in the exhilarating sweep of identity politics, just like their young clients (& their parents). The Internet/social media has turbocharged this historical moment, & a particular group of extremist trans activists have seized the narrative.

Feminists have been talking for years about the deleterious impact extreme trans activism has had on women. In more recent years, child/teen adult transition (formerly rare) has impacted family members who are starting to wake up and push back. A groundswell is building.

There are reasonable trans-ID'ed ppl; some are activists. They don't believe "trans women are women"; don't push for kid transition. While some of us have problems w/ very concept of sex change, these more reasonable ppl aren't going to vanish. Is it worth finding common ground?

I think this is a very naive interpretation. The medical profession has always attracted sociopaths, ideal job to exercise power. Long history and grim catalogue of medics seeking out opportunity to brutalise women/girls in particular, or those considered lesser in general.

That particular surgeon though, with his santa hat, posing with buckets of women's breast tissue and glasses of women's body fat like it was all some hilarious joke - I don't believe he has good motives. It's not demonising to point out extreme hatred of women when you see it.

I don't know whether he hates women or not, but those photos are despicable; almost beyond belief. (The thread wasn't about excusing behaviors--it was to explore underlying psychology.)
