      I think JK Rowling is a latecomer to this discourse and to a certain extent is the foam on the tide, but I think that the massive influence TERFs as a class have over UK media -- *not* just on Twitter, but in articles, op-eds, TV appearances -- have obviously had an effect

      And this kind of dodge you're playing is very much the last refuge of scoundrels Disclaiming that expressing your opinion could have any impact on anything and just saying you have the abstract right to say it

      I mean, sure, maybe JK Rowling's tweets have no impact on anything and don't matter at all In that case maybe she should still shut the fuck up, because the impact I know they do have is it's very unpleasant for trans people to see them and hear about them

      I can't agree. She has the right to an opinion. I think it might be better if people don't conflate the author in question with the recent UK court case because they have no bearing. This was an individual challenging the treatments they received as a child. That's their right.

      Except that's not the court case. It's not a suit about whether the claimant's informed consent was validly obtained. It's about everyone else.

      This remains the most strikingly wrong and bizarre argument that the court accepts: PBs are bad because of" the fact that the vast majority of patients taking PBs go on to CSH and therefore that s/he is on a pathway to much greater medical interventions"

      So the Court's argument here, basically, is that since MOST kids who start PBs take hormones LATER, therefore, unless you are consenting to hormones, you can't consent to PBs, which isn't just callous or ignorant, but flatly bizarre.

      it's such a staggering misunderstanding of causation here. people go on PBs because they are trans people later go on hormones because they are trans PBs aren't "leading to" HRT. being trans leads to both

      The TERF belief that endogenous puberty in and of itself "cures" transness -- that once the "right" hormones flood your brain they will transform you and make you normal -- is repulsive and terrifying

      and there's no scientific basis for this! it's a just-so hypothesis that they would LIKE to be true, because it'd be handy for their rhetoric. zero evidence for it it's horrific. insisting on the exact set of irreversible changes the patient is desperate to avoid. pure spite

      I know this is a fraught metaphor but @Nymphomachy believes it's the only metaphor that conveys the true enormity of the violation and who am I to argue -- They are openly taking the stance of "Just hold them down until they learn to enjoy it"
