I used the girls bathroom for the first time ever
I'm 16 mtf, pre everything. I was feeling cute today, so I went into the girls bathroom. Thankfully, when I went in, it was completely empty, so I locked myself in a stall. When I was done, I had to wait about 5 or 6 minutes because I could hear people going in and out, and using the sinks and stuff. When I I went out, I saw a girl was washing her hands, and she looked at me weirdly. I'm 99% sure she clocked me, but she didn't say anything to me, so I was fine. That was pretty scary Imao. Overall, I'm proud of myself and happy :3, I had the confidence to overcome my dysphoria and I did something good :)"

On TRAs' weird claims about right wingers
There’s an inconvenient fact in the new trans data - "If the rise in trans identification is due only to a reduction in stigma allowing trans people everywhere to come out of the closet, shouldn’t the increase be seen relatively evenly across all ages and social groups? Where, for instance, are all the middle aged women who ought to be suddenly revealing that their true self is in fact a trans man? Why is it almost entirely teenagers having this realisation, especially teenage girls – a group notoriously vulnerable to fads and mass psychological phenomena, from eating disorders to witch hunts to contagious laughing or fainting fits which have been known on occasion to close down schools? If, as looks likely, the trans fad begins to fade away, most of those who loudly supported it will quietly forget that they ever did so. Medics, NGO workers, journalists and the like who should have asked questions instead of uncritically accepting trans ideology will continue with their professional lives unaffected. It won’t be so easy to move on for the young people who have been casualties of this movement. Depending on how far down the trans pathway they progressed, they may now be sterile, or missing body parts; many will face lifelong medical consequences. They have been catastrophically failed by those who ought to have protected them."
Robby Starbuck on X - "Wow. The US government funded a $9.7 Million dollar study where they gave puberty blockers to kids in an effort to prove that it was healthy for kids to be transitioned. The study proved that it WASN’T good for the kids though. Now they refuse to release the study because the lead doctor is afraid that it will be used to ban sex changes for kids. These people are evil."
U.S. Study on Puberty Blockers Goes Unpublished Because of Politics, Doctor Says - The New York Times
Thread by @LeorSapir on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "NEW: Azeen Ghorayshi reports in the @nytimes that prominent gender clinician Johanna Olson-Kennedy of @ChildrensLA has refused to publish data from a study on puberty blockers, fearing that the unimpressive results will be "weaponized" by critics of "gender-affirming care." π§΅
Olson-Kennedy told the Times that the kids didn't improve because their mental health was "in really good shape" at the start of the study. As Ghorayshi notes, this seems to contradict what Olson-Kennedy et al. reported in 2022 about the study's cohort at baseline. Olson-Kennedy fears the study's results could be cited by critics of pediatric sex "change" in court cases. She doesn't seem to think that, as a medical researcher and clinician, her primary responsibility is to her current and future patients. Doctors as agents of lawfare. Ghorayshi's report is helpful in holding members of the gender Rx industry accountable, but it also has at least three problems. First, Ghorayshi mentions the reported findings of the Dutch puberty blocking study but not the highly important critique of those findings, nor that systematic reviews (e.g., NICE 2020) have found it to be unreliable due to risk of bias... Second, Ghorayshi mentions the reported findings of the NIH-funded cross-sex hormone study but doesn't mention that the boys showed no improvement while the girls' improvement was very small. Nor does she mention the authors' HARK-ing and goalpost shifting. Critical problems... Finally, it's disappointing to see the Times continue to refer to the kids given Rx as "transgender adolescents." This isn't a neutral term. Whether these kids "are transgender," or what it means to say such a thing, is half the debate in a nutshell. Neutral terms for journalists who want to remain independent of the controversy and not (intentionally or unintentionally) put their thumb on the scale:
Adolescents with gender dysphoria.
Adolescents who identify as transgender."

Getting policymakers to follow the evidence is hard enough; please don't make them wonder what scientists are hiding. We should be the one group they can trust to always tell it like it is."
Thread by @jessesingal on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Youth gender medicine has had abysmal stnadards for years.

This is what I'm referencing. This study laid out in their protocol was never published. Instead, we got a different study, with a different hypothesis, with mostly different variables of interest chosen for no explained reason."

Benjamin Ryan on X - "In 2016, leading pediatric gender-transition doctor Johanna Olson-Kennedy told @STATNews that she hoped her NIH research on treating gender dysphoric kids would provide data that "will help win out over discrimination." Now she's told the Times that she sat on that data when it showed that puberty blockers had no psychological impact. She also appeared to contradict her own published data when she claimed to the Times that the participants in her study had favorable mental health when they started the puberty blocker study."
The gender fad will pass, what's important is getting through it without permanent damage - "why do adults, including politicians, teachers and even clergymen, keep endorsing the gender fluid fantasies of children? Because they’ve forgotten what it means to be a mature human being... In the past, kids have wanted to be punks, hippies and beatniks, and all of these involved changing one’s outward appearance to express political and sexual identity... Things have changed. Today, social liberalism goes hand-in-hand with a new definition of children’s rights that means the choices kids make are not only tolerated but encouraged. We must now learn from them... Children denouncing adults and adults taking their side is pure Stalinism – an inversion of the natural order, a cult of youth, a dictatorship of political values. Teachers shouldn’t have to put up with this rubbish. They are there to teach. The young are there to learn. There is play involved, yes, but there are also boundaries set by the adults – because they are the ones with enough hindsight to know that any decision made when you are, say, 13, should not be so big that it is physically permanent. We wouldn’t allow a teenager to have a tattoo, so why would we permit them to take drugs that block their puberty, to begin to bind and reshape their bodies into another sex? Yet that is exactly what our society is doing."

Meme - Wesley Yang @wesyang: "Anyone familiar with the violent meltdown of the black radical successor movements to the civil right movement of the 1970’s — from the Weather Underground and Symbionese Liberation Army to Jonestown — can see the same dynamics at work in the transgender movement, scaled up by several orders of magnitude by social media. Four decades after the American electorate decisively rejected dead end racial radicalism, the entire stock of slogans came to be taught to millions of schoolchildren after a long march through the institutions. The transgender movement differs from black radicalism in that it began life propagated by the institutions that had already been captured. The doctrines were scarcely invented before they were being taught to the youngest schoolchildren."

Deerfield middle school administrators force teen girls to change in front of boy in school locker room - "Deerfield School District 109 administrators forced teen girls at Shepard Middle School to change in front of a boy in the school locker room. That's according to parent testimony heard during public comment Thursday's District 109 School Board meeting. After receiving a complaint from girls in early February that a boy was in their locker room while they were changing for gym class, District 109 “Assistant Superintendent for Student Services” Joanna Ford, "Assistant Principal" Cathy Van Treese and “Director for Student Services” Ginger Logemann reprimanded the girls, then escorted them to the locker room and tried to force them to change in front of the boy... The next day, Georgas said, Ford, Van Treese and Logermann tried to bully them into to changing in front of the boy. "(The administrators) all came into the girls locker room, making them change into uniform. This went on all week," Georgas said. "My daughter refused to take part in her privacy being violated. How dare they!" She said Shepard School Principal Rob Wegley told her daughter that any male student can use any girls bathroom or locker room at his school so long as they say claim to “identify as female.”... The school board meeting attracted a horde of cross-dressing activists from around the Chicago area, who came to speak in favor of requiring teenage girls to undress in front of teenage boys who pretend to be girls. Kerrick Goodman-Lucker of Northbrook, a female who dresses like a male and has grown a mustache and beard, said she had a male cross-dressing friend in college who "was pulled out of a woman's bathroom and attacked by a police officer for using a bathroom (he) thought was safe." She complained that cross-dressing kids are "being attacked as liars... and deviants." Jesse Holzman of Chicago, a woman who describes herself as a "Queer, Non-binary, Consensually Non-monogamous, Intersectional Feminist, Anti-Racist, Activist, Educator and Scholar," said that "ensuring access to (girls') bathrooms and changing rooms is not controversial." Holzman said that "research" shows middle school girls "do better, academically, socially, and emotionally" when boys are allowed to watch them undress in school locker rooms... Tina Nelson of Deerfield, who informed the board she is a lesbian, said those opposed to letting boys watch teen girls undress in the locker room are "petty women" pushing "the white supremacist agenda of their 'cis white' husbands" and their "White God.""

Ambulance service calls women 'people with breasts' - "St John Ambulance has been accused of “erasing women” after issuing guidance on how to perform CPR on “people with breasts”. Its website stated it aimed to address the fact that “people with breasts are statistically less likely to receive bystander CPR than men”. However, gender-critical campaigners said a failure to use the word “women” in the guide was “an unfortunate example of misogyny” in “a life or death situation”... The guide also advises readers they should “remove bras or binding” if the casualty is wearing one, in order to reach their bare chest... Attention to the web page was drawn by campaign group Women’s Rights Network (WRN) – which posted a screenshot of its title on X. “Immediate medical treatment is required for @stjohnambulance,” the post read. “They’ve developed chronic amnesia and forgotten the word for half the population. “Those ‘people with breasts’ are women. They have no problem with saying ‘men’ so why don’t we merit the same respect?” The post provoked a series of angry responses, including from those who described the guide as “insulting”, with some pointing out the “double standards” of referring to “men” in the same headline. Cathy Larkman, one of WRN’s directors, told The Telegraph: “From our point of view, this is just another example of misogyny... “It’s another incident of erasing women.” Some commenting on the X post pointed out that St John Ambulance had run a campaign that aimed to tackle gender disparity in CPR."
