Detransitioners are subject to horrendous abuse from their 'community' online, because they speak out about the negative impact hormones and surgery have had on their lives. We've all watched them being jeered at, even told to kill themselves, after sharing their stories. 11/13
These individuals are the tip of the iceberg. I know, because I've received innumerable letters and emails from other people in medical and related professions who've been bullied and harassed for wanting a debate on gender identity ideology and the affirmation model. 12/13
People like you who now claim there's never been any attempt to stifle debate are part of the reason this mess happened in the first place. If you want to remain in a state of blithe unconcern, fine, but don't tell those in the trenches they're making a fuss about nothing. 13/X
A few more who suffered job threats and loss because of gender extremists' demands for "no debate": * In Australia, child psychiatrist Dr. Jillian Spencer was accused of transphobia and suspended for questioning gender-affirming care for an emotionally troubled child. * Denver Post columnist Jon Cardara was fired because he wrote that "there are only two sexes, identified by XX and XY chromosomes" and it was deemed "too insensitive". * Kaely Triller, a child sexual abuse survivor, was fired from her job at a YMCA in Washington state for saying that the new policy of allowing males to self-identify as women and use the women's locker room would put women and girls at increased risk of abuse. *Three-time US Olympic cyclist Inga Thompson was fired by Cynisca Cycling for saying it's unfair for biological males to compete in women's cycling. * Attorney Anne Menasche was accused by colleagues of 'transphobia' and fired from her job at Disability Rights California for saying the loss of abortion rights harms women, after her employer listed people harmed by the overturning of Roe v. Wade and didn't include women among them. * Nurse Amy Hamm is currently fighting a disciplinary tribunal at the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives for stating that biological sex is binary and immutable. * Literary agent Sasha White was fired by Tobias Literary Agency for tweeting gender critical views on her private Twitter account. *Feminist M. K. Fain was fired from her job as a software engineer in Philadelphia for writing a gender critical article on Medium, suggesting that nonbinary identities are rooted in misogyny. *Kara Lynne was fired by video game company Limited Run Games because she followed conservative twitter accounts that expressed gender critical views (even though she also followed progressive accounts that expressed pro-gender views). *Professor Donna Hughes, endowed Chair of Gender and Women's Studies at the University of Rhode Island, faced calls from colleagues demanding that she be fired, as well as a public statement of condemnation from the university, after she wrote an article for the feminist website 4W expressing concerns about the gender identity movement's effects on women's rights, and had to get a lawyer to defend her right to free speech. * Dr. Michael Joyner, physician at the Mayo Clinic, was suspended for a week, lost his annual pay raise and was forbidden to speak to media without permission partially because he made comments to the New York Times saying trans athletes have advantages in women's sports as the Clinic said his comments went against 'prescribed messaging'. * Amy Mangano, a gallery owner in Ohio, has faced mob protests outside her store from activists who say their goal is to force her out of business because she posted signs saying "Humans can't change sex" and "Say no to men in women's prisons". * Professor Kathleen Lowrey was fired from her administration position at the University of Alberta for saying transgender identity shouldn't trump biological sex when it came to a clash of rights.
Parents and siblings never get a mention. We've lost what should otherwise have been great relationships with our children because EVERYWHERE has told us no debate. EVERYWHERE has told our children we are bigots, that we don't love them, that our children are better off without us. They've coached our children into guilting us and their siblings, luring them away from love and into having their bodies irreversibly harmed. Some of us have actually lost our children. Many of us are estranged from our children. Us parents and our other children have been held hostage and completely vilified by EVERYONE and we're still completely ignored.
@jk_rowling Don’t forget @AlessandraAster and @drlouisejmoody ! Both lost their jobs for speaking up for women and children. And @preta_6 who is fighting for her nursing license bc she knows what a girl is. And @salltweets who is fighting for her right to have a female only app. !!
@jk_rowling I've always said the alphabet rainbow people behave like nazis. It's one of the many reasons I'd never support that group and nothing will change my mind on that.
@jk_rowling The only insight Kirstie has is the ability to imagine how knocking a couple of walls down might improve practical living conditions. Anything else, she appears to be wilfully blind.
