Meanwhile in the UK...
So, for people unaware, today in the UK we saw a massive setback for medical care for trans teens, as part of a lawsuit ruling. In short, under 16’s are now incredibly unlikely to be able to get access to puberty delaying medication. Explaination in thread.

Imagine being told "we are next to certain that your child has a medical condition that will cause permanent damage and pain for their whole life, that we can prevent now, but for this one condition we're not allowed to help because children don't understand medicine"

If transphobes think trans kids using blockers under a doctors care is risky, wait until they find out how dangerous depressive drug use is when you’re a dysphoric teenager looking to dissociate from reality every chance you get with the other abused kids who showed you the way.

Sucks that detransitioners are used by transphobes to shut down transition care for trans youth when detransitioners could be working directly with care providers to implement “lessons learned” that would help identify gray-area kids who won’t benefit from medical transition.

Today would be a great time to leave TERFs and their gender critical movement. I wrote a guide on how to exit. https://t.co/Hr4mqAnRgw

And something Christmassy:
Refugees have fled unimaginable horrors and are suffering in this country.

I've seen the amazing work that @_kran_ do supporting refugees in Kent.
Please support their Christmas appeal to make sure young refugees get suitable accommodation:https://t.co/TJovcUj803
