Long 🧵about this ⬇️and about #Autism. Something too many charities, activists & celebrities have been quick to ignore in favour of promoting the 'if they say they are, they are' narrative. It really isn't that simple. @genspect @BayswaterSG @Glinner @LuxuryMoon @RooneyRachel 1/

Did you know you can sue your health professionals on this basis: Standards of Care WPATH (v7, 2012) clause that "role of mental health professionals includes making reasonably sure that gender dysphoria is not secondary to or better accounted for by other diagnoses".
