Judging from the comments from @lecarnardnoir on yesterday's @ScienceBasedMed post, it looks as though it's time to remind people of how transphobes are misrepresenting my words about Lupron from 15 years ago.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1412139916260253702 …

Amusingly, Andy says that I've "been silent" about this. Look at the date of the quoted Tweet. Two weeks ago.

I worry for Andy, He has been such a stalwart defender of science for many years, but this trans thing seems to have tipped him over the edge. Its all he tweets about now.

Yeah, it's really, really sad to me. Back when I was an up-and-coming blogger, I looked up to Andy as an example of how to do it right. I just don't know what's happened to him—and a lot of my former skeptical heroes.

What I keep asking myself about my now former skeptical heroes: Have they changed? Or were they *always* like this and I just didn't see it then? Or maybe I've changed and they haven't. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

The hatred for trans people and their allies in the British skeptic community is really appalling AND hard to comprehend.

There *is* a disturbingly vocal contingent in that community who try to pass off their blatant transphobia as "science" and "skepticism." Is it larger, percentage-wise, than the similar contingent in the US? I don't know.

I have, however, been gobsmacked by the conspiracy mongering, ranting about "cancel culture" (complete with a complaint about the ABA's apology to its bookstores), and vigorous defense of Shrier coming from someone form whom I'd never have expected it. (Not Harriet.)

I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if a million pedants all droped their pencils and tutted at once.
