I know misogyny when I see it, and the bill really ain't. Wee beardy blokehood is also not diagnostic. #pressfastforward

You've been following the (evidence-based) debates on this?

I have, but I'm very open to any and all aspects I may have missed.

Did you miss the state-sanctioned conversion therapy of gay women? Because that's a very big part. Hard not to conceptualise that as misogyny, I think. Bill proposals help to further erode protections.

Yes, I did miss that, although I'm not sure what conversion means in this context (and most therapy of all sorts is state-sanctioned!). Point me at it.

Huge wealth of evidence re: sharp spike in girls being referred to gender clinics, affirmed "as boys" and put on medical pathways. @ImWatson91 and @charlie_sci important voices. See also @detrabajadores and @post_trans

Thought that this was a very small number of people, who made decisions as adults that they were happy with for some time? I'm not excusing misdiagnosis and prejudice, and choices can be seen as incorrect over time, but it's not systematic nor widespread. As I read the evidence.

Have you read the report from the Tavistock's David Bell? Or the testimony of the subsequent whistleblowers who refer to the "joke" that "there'll be no gay kids left". This isn't some crank conspiracy theory.
