Is Gender Critical the new Pro Life?

Gagajo. You have not answered any questions, the information you have posted is inaccurate, your understand ing of the topic appears shallow, I am not sure you are in a position to question whether people have thought about this issue.

I'd stick with the lego and talk to the grandson.
Much more productive.

Ah, rudeness. The preserve of those without a thought out point of view.

It was a voluntary question

There are no official figures from what I can find. estimate is 1% of uk population ...it was asked on the census...does your gender identify match your sex....not sure when these figures go into the public domain

I was about to ask a similar question Monica what percentage of the population are trans women/men?

Is there really a vast majority of transwomen/men?

she will have very little difficulty in being referred by her doctor with a view to her starting on testosterone which may make her sterile and is very likely to cause severe gynaecological problems in years to come. She will also have little trouble in obtaining a double mastectomy.

That is contrary to the treatment that all of my personal contacts in this area have encountered. Unless they were able to source treatment overseas, privately, accessing treatment via the NHS is next to impossible. Covid of course has massively added to the problem.

Btw, do you know that if a young woman of 18 asks her doctor for sterilisation because she is certain that she will never want children, she will be told that she must wait until she is at least 30 and, preferably, has had at least one child.

If that young woman, however, states that she is a boy or a man she will have very little difficulty in being referred by her doctor with a view to her starting on testosterone which may make her sterile and is very likely to cause severe gynaecological problems in years to come.
She will also have little trouble in obtaining a double mastectomy.

I think there needs to be a middle ground in both those situations.

Their point is that the 'support' being given is too quick to affirm the supposed gender identity and to begin medical treatment.
Also, that inadequate records were kept and there was insufficient follow-up of the young patients.
The court found that this was true of the Tavistock Clinic.

I hope that the Tavistock has now improved its practices.

Thank you GagaJo ?

They are a tiny minority, and are adversely affecting the availability of support for the vast majority that desperately need it.

Very very sad for those individuals that do change their minds later, but that doesn't mean they are the norm.

No, it isn't.

I don't know about pro-life people, whether many of them have all the views that you say they do.

Gender critical people, in general, don't have the views that you say they do.
In fact, most gender critical people have none of the views that you say they do.

Gender critical people accept the fact of two human sexes which shouldn't have to be connected to sex rôle stereotypes as they currently are, in many people's minds.

The situations of trans-identifying adults and trans-identifying children & young people are quite different.
Keira Bell took the Tavistock Clinic to court because her experience was that she was not given adequate counselling or information before she was started on hormone treatment.
Sinead Watson is another detransitioned transman who now speaks out in public about this.
Their wish, that trans-identifying children and young people are not hurried onto medication and surgery, comes from their own experiences not from any ill-informed outsiders trying to prevent the expression of trans identity.

Do you believe humans can change sex?

It is not a starting place for discussion, GagaJo. it just shows a such a complete lack of understanding of the groups you want to discuss that rational discussion is impossible.

Goad away Peasblossom. I'm not biting. No banning, temporary or otherwise, for me. ?

Doesn’t fool me?

Yup, desperately trying to wriggle out of an untenable position.

Anything except address the question or back up an opinion with fact?

If you say so. If you knew me IRL, you'd know better. But whatever...

Mmm, on the back foot now………?

You're welcome to think whatever you like Peasblossom.

I THOUGHT I’D HAVE A LITTLE SHOUT TOO.

Ah, that’s better?

There's no need to shout Gagajo and if you refer in your OP to science you should be able to provide the scientific evidence when requested.

If you're unable too or can't be bothered then don't mention it to support your point of view. Your OP gives no evidence to support your claim.

I think that means there isn’t any?

Obviously not time to answer my question either.

Or anything that might challenge the faulty logic of the original post.

Ah well. Some people will only read the OP and go with that so mission accomplished, I guess
?

WHEN I have time to sit down and look for it, I MAY add it.

Otherwise, 1) refer to the OP and 2) do a bit of research yourself SL2012.
