To take just one example, here's Diane Ehrensaft talking about kids being sterilized by the standard blockers + cross-sex hormones protocol. Strangio and other adult transitioners were not sterilized, because they went through natural puberty.https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7kqndq

Here's another affirmative doc, Robert Garofalo, acknowledging on PBS that *we don't know* how trans kids who medically transition will feel later about loss of fertility. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/when-transgender-kids-transition-medical-risks-are-both-known-and-unknown/ …pic.twitter.com/70meF3KDQr

We've criticized the SD legislation, and Strangio is obviously free to do so too, but at the very least, he should be honest when doing it. There's no way the ACLU lawyer most involved in trans issues is unaware blockers + x-sex hormones sterilizes kids.https://4thwavenow.com/2017/01/26/shriveled-raisins-the-bitter-harvest-of-affirmative-care/ …

So many trans activists (the vast majority having gone through their own natal puberty) seem to want to have it both ways: Celebrate the reproductive rights of trans people, while promoting the sterilization of prepubescent children.

One of the top issues in international trans activism has been overturning laws which required adult trans to give up their fertility to be legally recognized--"forced sterilisation." Yet same activists promote "voluntary" sterilization of 12-16 yr olds.https://tgeu.org/tgeu-welcomes-swedish-parliaments-historic-decision/ …

One of the comments from Chase's post:"My actual child having a happy, healthy life is far more valuable to me than potential biological grandchildren." Because it's all about what the parents want?

And, of course, if they were able to 'procreate naturally, then it is abundantly clear that they were not truly suicidal about their natal sex. It helps to prove up the sham that is their bullshittery...

Good thread. Notice he says “many” are able to procreate. “Many” people survive drug overdoses, should we affirm that too?
