A major #UK #report says #trans #children are being let down by #toxic #debate and #lackofevidence.

Dr. #HilaryCass claims “no good #evidence” on the #longterm #outcomes of #interventions to #manage #gender-related #distress, and #youngpeople have been caught up in a “stormy #social #discourse” about the #issue

@Susan_Larson_TN Acknowledging the 2% and then calling the ideas "mythical" is kinda problematic as well, though. The whole method of them pushing that propaganda so hard is to take a narrow subset and making it seem larger than it is, calling the foundations for their crap "lies" when we know there are misused facts at the center only gives them more power to assert their bad claims. We can hit them harder without ignoring real people.

People who detransition exist.

People who *willingly* detransition exist.

However, detransitioning by choice was not the only possibility in the statement about study results.

My first thought was, How much of the 2% had passed away?

How many were forced to detransition because support faded?

One person who detransitioned (who the transmisic majority are eager to acknowledge) is not a good reason to minimize calls to give people medical support.

@shadowsminder @Susan_Larson_TN Had me up until the last bit. Were you inferring I was supporting such a reduction?
