      Weird how an obviously ridiculous notion takes hold. No one encourages children into a cycle of psychological treatment then drugs and then surgery. Who chooses that for a child? I guess the myth is just easier to grapple with than the reality.

      It's true there is a real increase in transgender children, which we should try to understand. And that the evidence is clear that telling those kids their feelings are wrong harms their mental health. But no parent or teacher spontaneously pushes children to change gender.

      In the UK - an international outlier because we've given over health policy in the sphere to the equivalent of anti-vaxers - trans kids wait years to access even the psychological evaluation which is itself a precondition to accessing (reversible) puberty blockers.

      This creates dreadful incentives - kids driven in desperation to buy drugs from unlicensed suppliers and to abandon the reversible 'cooling off' period of puberty blockers and to move straight to irreversible cross-sex hormones.

      Meanwhile, most remarkably of all, the right wing press portrays an amateur hobbyist, insulated by her wealth from any real consequence, as victim and just flat ignores the day-to-day lived reality of the thousands of children whose lives she makes more difficult.

          Anyway. @GoodLawProject won't stand by whilst the healthcare needs of thousands of children are sidelined by prejudice. We hope to make an announcement shortly.

          If you want to inform yourself, here is the NHS's description of the staged model of care provided (albeit only to the few who can access it in time) https://gids.nhs.uk/puberty-and-physical-intervention … and here is the world-leading Mayo Clinic's (not run by anti-vaxers) descriptionhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075 …

          So I take it you won't be signing the letter condemning the abuse and threats she has received on Twitter then?

          He might even have been one of those sending death and rape threats. You know what they say about people who are cruel to animals....

          Thank you Jo. Finally some sensible words on the matter. I don't agree with the death/rape threats made to her, but those are a consequence of her using her huge public platform to promote ill-informed, prejudiced ideas, that in turn, cause serious harm to other people.
