When you lie about what I believe about mental health medication and when you misrepresent the views of a trans woman for whom I feel nothing but admiration and solidarity, you cross a line. 2/11
I’ve written and spoken about my own mental health challenges, which include OCD, depression and anxiety. I did so recently in my essay ‘TERF Wars’. I’ve taken anti-depressants in the past and they helped me. 3/11
Many health professionals are concerned that young people struggling with their mental health are being shunted towards hormones and surgery when this may not be in their best interests. 4/11
Many, myself included, believe we are watching a new kind of conversion therapy for young gay people, who are being set on a lifelong path of medicalisation that may result in the loss of their fertility and/or full sexual function. 5/11
These concerns were explored by the recent BBC documentary about the Tavistock Clinic. Whistleblowers were talking about transitions driven by homophobia. https://bit.ly/31KLdRf 6/11
As I’ve said many times, transition may be the answer for some. For others, it won’t – witness the accounts of detransitioners. “The system sees surgery as the easy fix to girls who do not conform.” https://bit.ly/31LWP6L4/11 7/11
Sophie is a trans woman and a true feminist ally. She was making the point that anti-depressants were over-prescribed to teenagers in the past, with serious consequences. https://bit.ly/2VNqyIK 8/11
The long-term health risks of cross-sex hormones have been now been tracked over a lengthy period. These side-effects are often minimised or denied by trans activists. https://bit.ly/38F0GnD 9/11

The doctor who wrote this article scoured the literature & ended up with more questions than answers.https://4thwavenow.com/2018/06/18/testosterone-young-females-what-is-known-about-lifelong-effects/ …
On the other hand, effects of T on the female skeleton and brain are hiding in plain sight. Media refuses to acknowledge what's already known. Worse: "Informed consent" clinics studiously ignore data & fail to inform their patients.https://4thwavenow.com/2017/08/18/thoracic-outlet-syndrome-deteriorating-verbal-fluency-not-on-your-typical-informed-consent-form/ …
We are working on putting an article together re: unwanted side-effects from laryngeal enlargement post-T in FTMs. There are anecdotal reports of swallowing difficulties due to smaller throat anatomy in females, unable to fully accommodate T-caused increase in size of larynx.
