Prior to the “trans youth” regimen pioneered by the Dutch in the 90's, gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists had been used for decades in the treatment of precocious puberty, i.e. when kids go through puberty at a really young age. So there’s actually a quite bit of data showing that they are safe simply on their…

So what you’re saying is that a secret-ish group of many people who represent a significant portion of those who write the news in the US and who are passively or actively resistant to including trans perspectives in their group, despite the fact that they report regularly on trans issues and as a result have a…

Thank you for this, this guy is so off base trying to speak on our issues, and quite frankly his fixation on transgender people, and online behavior, suggest very creepy and nefarious motives (he seems to focus on trans women in particular) for his focus on a subject he has no remote connection to himself or…

The only ‘treatment’ very young trans kids even receive is hormone blockers and those are 100% safe.

People are always hiding behind science when they get called out on transphobic bullshit as if scientists have never been wrong before (see entire Eugenicist movement, sexism and homophobia in the DSM 5, etc.) At the end of the day, people bring their biases into what they do. It’s ridiculous, and extremely…

My own experience is that every child I know that claimed to be transgender has also changed their mind, as children do.

As a trans woman, I have stopped reading news stories about trans issues written by individuals who are not trans. I am sorry Mr Singal, but your opinions on Trans topics simply don’t matter. I know my story, and how it took me 30 years to come out & be my true self. I don’t need to seek validation from you/him or…

“I’m not interested in sharing this list or any other space with someone who is going to insist on nullifying and erasing my existence and experience as female.”

My jaw DROPPED at that quote.

TERFs make me angrier than the run-of-the-mill transphobic pieces of shit. 

It has been pointed out that the phrase “a prominent futurist in progressive news media” is likely to describe few people other than Xeni Jardin.

Pre-adolescents don’t take hormones. They don’t have surgery. So, what are the downsides? And are they worse than the high rate of suicide among kids who don’t get the gender-affirmative treatments they need? What about the lifelong trauma associated with that? Because if you foreclose the option of transitioning for…

What downsides are you talking about? Perhaps speaking to a real trans person (of which he is not) may help alleviate those concerns?

someone needs to show the names of the people supporting that transphobic hack

It is okay. The real revenge here is that trans women walk past her probably every day. She may even know one or two. She pees one stall over from trans women in the washroom.

“I definitely hope you don’t leave this beat, Jesse!”

So you didn’t read the article then? Or like, have ever spoken to a trans person?

Out these people. Who gives a shit about the sanctity of their bullshit listserv?
