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

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 …
Also, the editing was brilliant in the clip I saw. First those 4 detransitiioners who have been treated appallingly by the gender clinics and then that HRC spokesman who couldn't give a damn about them but only cared about unhindered trans access to health care. True colours.
What's interesting as an observer of all of this is how much more persuasive the detransitioner stories are. Unlike how the trans community talks (eg generalities, talking points, calling ppl names, etc.), these stories are personal, detailed, & very sympathetic.
Yes, they were very powerful.
