Most Excellent!

Real "of course I know the answer, but you tell me what you think it is" vibes. These people are disgusting. If you say you're basing public policy on "evidence" and then refuse to show that "evidence", then you don't get your policies passed. Simple as.

And here's some real evidence. Some children begin puberty FAR too early, and those children has been on blockers in the past to prevent physical and mental health risks. So now they suffer along with trans kids. Great job.

bridgetclinch.bsky.social•41 days ago

All evidence should be public and taken in to account when making any kind of decision or legislation.

Seems like the current trend is to ignore or suppress evidence you don't like, and stretch and overplay aspects of the evidence you do like.

I don't like this timeline at all.

Par for the course for the Northern Ireland executive unfortunately. So many "alternative" people I know from there feel they need to leave to have any quality of life. Another country ruined by people voting for intransigent bigoted creationists.

Literally the embodiment of "so your source is just 'trust me bro'?!".

Here in Ohio, politicians are openly saying (with sickening joy) that they think banning trans healthcare for minors will mean trans kids no longer exist here. It’s an attempt at genocide and they aren’t even hiding it.

They don't even consider trans people as part of the public. We are less than human to them.

This is like how Joseph Smith wouldn't let anyone see the golden plates.

Like they're totally trying to eliminate us, dude. Its a total bummer

How do they have the legal right to keep this information from the public if the government is trying to use it to ban a medical treatment?

commonninja.bsky.social•41 days ago

I can't think of any type of decision that affects the public, where witholding the supporting evidence, is in the public's interest.

Transparrency around public decision making is always in the public interest.

People have fallen so easily into hatred and fear.

I wish I understood *why* some are so susceptible to being told that hate will solve their problems.

drdabbles.bsky.social•41 days ago

10,000x this. How is it some people are so easily led to hating others because of who they are, or who they feel they should be??

When the RF's find out the TE movement isn't so hot about women having equal rights either, I'm gonna laugh my ass off.

maqusan.bsky.social•41 days ago

The evidence goes to another school. You wouldn't have heard of it. It's in Canada.

lestatdelc.bsky.social•41 days ago

So the report they say back-up their anti-trans position, should not be released to the public?

Seems legit.

It’s all manufactured “evidence”. No actual peer review or scientific professionals with experience involved.

wolfmanjones.bsky.social•41 days ago

It IS nice office furniture. I’m sure it’s mortified to be associated with this bullshittery.

But only for trans kids. It's fine for cis kids that otherwise would be too short. 🤬

alyssamackenzie.bsky.social•41 days ago

They’re trying to wipe trans people off the face of the earth, friend.

It’s hard to wake up every day, knowing so very many people that mean the world to you are so very justifiably scared….and you want to hold it together for them, but you are, too.

alexwinter.com•41 days ago

I can well imagine. A lot of folks fighting back, but it's pretty grim.

alyssamackenzie.bsky.social•41 days ago

The amount of energy we’re going to need to summon on a daily basis is something I’m all too familiar with. I lived in Florida through the beginning of all of this before my wife and I had to flee to Colorado.

Thanks for being you. You’re loved and appreciated, friend. 💜
