A little trip down Memory Lane. In March, Jennifer Boylan, a prominent member of the trans community said @HRC was "on it" to influence producers of the @60Minutes program on detransition...pic.twitter.com/6FDIEzxGgy

Last night, Boylan tweeted about the results of these efforts by a "hardworking group of LGBTQ advocates to pressure" @60Minutespic.twitter.com/UZezc8ialX
Some detransitioners who agreed to be interviewed by @60Minutes have expressed frustration at the slant of last night's show, & how they were edited or left out completely. But it's a minor miracle the show survived, given the well-funded pressure campaign @CBS underwent.
The show will make a difference because despite any spin or slant, detransitioners finally got a real voice in what has mostly been a one-note narrative about youth transition.

Dr. Jack Turban also did his best to pressure @60Minutes producers, as he admitted an hour ago.https://web.archive.org/web/20210525015756/https://twitter.com/jack_turban/status/1396988281057726464 …
We will continue to add to this thread with other prominent examples of the coordinated activist attempt to first cancel the @60minutes program, and now to flood @LesleyRStahl and @CBSNews with complaints.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1397194695768485896?s=20 …
Dr. Erica Anderson discusses the @60Minutes program in a public Facebook post. Though Anderson did NOT try to get the show cancelled, she did influence the producers to broaden the scope of the show beyond detransition.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1397210470793220110?s=20 …
Today Jo Olson-Kennedy said that she, too, had tried to pressure @60minutes & @LesleyRStahl into cancelling coverage of detransitioners. So the bullying came not just from activists, but from the most esteemed practitioners of gender medicine. @CBSNewshttps://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1397547754000420864?s=20 …
