Happy New Years to our friends and supporters! Here's a quick 𧔠outlining some good news from this year. 
1/UK: the Tavistock gender clinic, deemed unfit for purpose by the Cass Review, was ordered to close. Gender-distressed minors will now be treated in regular childrenâs hospitals w/a whole-person, developmental approach to gender dysphoria.
2/SWEDEN: psychological interventions will now be the first line of treatment for gender-distressed minors. Medical transition can only take place in clinical research settings. Half of the pediatric gender clinics in the country were closed.
The reason I didn't #transition? BC I didn't only approach therapy with the objective to prove that I am without a doubt authentically trans, but with the objective to rule out the possibility that transition was what I needed, and the evidence became stacked against me. đ§”
I spoke to a gender therapist via text through an app and received 0 pushback/questioning/argument. Even when I ASKED to be confirmed instead of validated in my identity. The therapist's words to me were "If you say uou are trans, I believe that you are trans."
With minimal background of my mental health history given. This therapist had no clue of my state of mind. No idea of the emotional and physical abuse I have suffered over the years, or whether or not I may have even been experiencing a psychotic episode.
@itvnews @StoatlyL @PaulBrandITV *Excellent news* if so. Govt have to stand firm to the blah on twitter on this
Paul, pls be clear, gay people are already protected & gay conversion is already outlawed.
This is just about giving *good quality health care* to ppl who might or *might not* be trans.

@itvnews @StoatlyL @PaulBrandITV What is being fwd here is an argument for a *non biased* therapist to assess children, teens & adults who think might be trans to talk thru why that is. What their feelings are stemming from. As therapists have always done
Eg
Are they exp discomfort in their gender? Body?

@itvnews @PaulBrandITV Is this autism? Normal puberty anxieties?
Are they gay & concerned about homophobia? Are a lot of their friends trans? Are they struggling with their looks & feeling unattractive?
Have they watched sig online content about trans?
Have they accidentally accessed pornographic

I am ready to talk about the #silencing of over 25,000 psychologists in Australia with regards to the safeguarding of children. We are threatened, harassed, coerced to provide only one #therapy to children or else! They tried to force me into this I said NO. Any journalists???
I am ready to talk to journalists, lawyers, bloggers and am now writing a book on this topic/issue. I am ashamed of my colleagues and the board who wilfully ignore the immature prefrontal cortex, the autistic brain, and their own ethics and guidelines #rogd #gender #transgender
I have not been able to speak openly about this until now as I have been continually #silenced, harassed, threatened, coerced by other #psychologists #therapists, my board, governing agencies and other professionals. Itâs time to reveal what is happening to clinicians worldwide
James Caspian @jamesfreespeech is applying to the European Court of Human Rights for a hearing of his case against Bath Spa University for preventing his research into #detransitioners.

âSome of the people I spoke to said they were too traumatised to speak about their experiences, which proved it was even more important to research the issue, not less."
âI was astonished therefore that a university could censor a research project on the grounds that what people âmightâ post on social media may be detrimental to the reputation of the university.â
@AdamWagner1 @OmarSalem Indeed one would have hoped a dramatic #medicalExperimentation basically castrating unhinged children using #OffLabel drugs
based on blatant lies about suicide risks& #detransitioners
would have been prohibited by medical ethics.1/ #PubertyBlockers

@AdamWagner1 @OmarSalem Not conducting proper scientific evaluation of powerful drugs used #offLabel on children is against HR .
Lying to politicians & parents by pretending an old, small, very poor scientifically study from the Netherland were definitive is an old crooky trickđ

@AdamWagner1 @OmarSalem Of note, in Sweden politicians put a stop to the blind implementation in the Law of the #transExtremismPropaganda after investigative journalism exposed the lies in particular re : #suicideThreat
In UK @deb_cohen 's work exists but judges were needed...

About #pledges, elected legislators and listening to diverse opinions: we are concerned that our representatives at #Westminster & in the #Senedd donât adopt positions which eradicate the reality of same-sex attraction & the protected characteristic of #sexualorientation 1/14
Some MPs, for instance, have endorsed the Labour âLGBT+â Pledge. We give the benefit of the doubt; maybe they havenât thought it through. We hope the #Senedd, looking at a forthcoming Action Plan allegedly about us, makes sure it considers our views in putting it together. 2/14
We want training for #RSE teachers, including the importance of watchful waiting, rigorous #safeguarding & refusal of #transingawaythegay. NSPCC guidance is clear about #secrets 3/14
Why these anti-first amendment hate speech policies are complete bullsh*t. When men are deciding what constitutes hate, it's women's voices. Nearly every major platform is banning women from speaking about the conflicts between women's rights & transgenderism. /1
It's no accident that 'misgendering' is considered 'hate speech' while 'revenge porn' and misogyny -- even violent hatred & threats -- are not. #RedditHatesWomen & so does Medium, Twitter, WordPress, Facebook, CrowdJustice, Care2 & Change petitions, Wikipedia, Amazon & others. /2
Can we come together & build our own platforms? If you have skills or money, even if you can't put your name out there, we need you. This #censorship cannot stand. It's how fascism starts & democracy dies. We need #FreeSpeech & for-profit platforms have NO incentive to ensure. /3
#transkidsitstimetotalk #Transgender people experience discrimination and violence and have a shockingly high suicide rate. To protect vulnerable people we must oppose discrimination and promote access to key medical services, as a human rights issue. #TransKidsItsTimeToTalk/2
People needing urgent medical assistance must receive help. The point is, how. Can transgender identity be a phase, #ROGD, a social contagion among teenagers? Some say no, the idea is âtransphobicâ. Yet many relate personal experience in which it was, in fact, a phase./3
I felt like a boy for many years but transition was impossible. Lucky escape! Now I am happily married to a woman, with two great children. There are also #detransitioners and people expressing #transregret. Do those stories deserve to be told, or must they be suppressed?/4
