Amnesty. This is simplistic, fashionable nonsense. You have not properly considered the human rights. You are being led by
@Mermaids_Gender &@Genderintell organisations that advocate telling healthy children their bodies are "wrong" & surgically turning gay kids 'straight'26 replies 165 retweets 932 likes -

Children should not be undergoing this kind of surgery. Their healthy bodies should be protected. They must have time to explore the psychological reasons they feel dissociated from their bodies.

Telling children that others accurately perceiving them as male or female is "outing" them, and is dangerous to their mental health, welfare and that they should keep this basic fact secret for fear of others is cult like behaviour... It is child abuse.

Young children can be effortless androgynous, but as they approach puberty they their normal, healthy development makes this impossible. You are backing organisations telling children to hate their bodies and fear the outside world. THIS makes them vulnerable

@KateAllenAI@tomdavies77 - it is not obvious that the route Amnesty is taking on this is the "right side of history". Have you done your research? Have you thought it through? Can we hold you accountable for that? [Ends]9 replies 30 retweets 258 likes -
