Why do articles like these always line up a bunch of people born with vaginas and then ask these questions about detransitioners and desistance in a way that implies that it applies equally to those of us born with penises? Because while the article does briefly allude to the idea that transition/identifying as male…

To me, that sounds very much like the people who say “I totally understand that racism is bad, but rioting is just not the way to accomplish anything. Next time try politely asking”. You can, of course, be annoyed at the phrasing, but if that is your lone takeaway from this piece...

That reflects more on you than it does on Harron, pal.

Because there is literally nothing more important in this article than the tender feelings of a transphobe and his enablers. Decorum must be preserved!

Because you’re a moron who doesn’t understand that a doctor still has to prescribe them, and that pediatric care in general has different rules. Can’t help but notice there’s no fucks given for trans people forced to go through the irreversible effects of puberty in the wrong body. You don’t care about kids, you care…

Children going through puberty can be given medication that delays puberty, rather than transitioning.

There’s a good reason for people to transition before puberty. I bet you can figure that one out.

Informed Consent is a glorious model that’s utterly destroys much of the gatekeeping in getting hormones. However, it isn’t nearly as widespread as it should be.

People’s first response to this is to complain about your method of reaching out? FUCK THAT. FUCK JESSE SINGAL. FUCK THE ATLANTIC. This is a boy on a transphobic mission who was allowed to publish that tripe during Pride month.

I’ve been on bcp since my early teens for pcos—doctors were enthusiastically changing my natural hormonal balance during a very important part of puberty because of a medical condition. Trans kids basically just get hormonal blockers, a much less serious way of changing hormones, but they’re the ones who are attacked…

It should also be criminal to provide a child who has not yet reached puberty the hormones or surgery needed to transition.

Do you know what Jesse Singal’s fucking deal is?

yea Harron, you’re the problem! being a meanie in an email counteracts the other 90% of the article :PPPPPPPPPPP

Yes, because they need to answer as to what his fucking deal is that he keeps writing the same terrible article and it keeps getting published.

as a former teacher i would like to encourage you to remove the stick from betwixt your buttcheeks. you seem really hung up on students being “respectful” of you which is probably why they don’t respect you much. you’re showing your hand. respect builds with relationships. you’re blithely committed to the current…

(thanks)

You do know that names like King, Queenie, Cash, Saint, etc. have a long history in black culture, right? This is some racist shit right here.

Ah, so you’re persecuted on the basis of being a man, too?

Children in the South are still regularly taken to plantations for school trips with no mention of actual slavery, so, veracity of the note aside, I have no problem believing kids are still taught this. If Indian genocide was common knowledge, why would people still be getting mad about removing some of his statues?

Her point was that no Japanese were killed during the bombing because they left after the US warned them.

Which is to say that her point was entirely wrong.
