making hormones more difficult to access is not the answer to this problem. i'll remind anyone participating in the current discourse that a study recently proved that puberty blockers and hormones can save teen lives.

if i could write this again i'd start the first tweet with "pressure to physically transition exists because of..." and not "de-transitioners exist because of" - i wasn't expecting this to blow up this much & wrote it while still half asleep. anyway i'm making a video abt this
