his stuff is actively malicious, though. he's working to restore stronger gatekeeping between trans people and medical care, using his platform to do that. giving him access to your platform without looking up who he is isn't a minor foux pas - it's dangerous. this kind of minimization is why people are upset with her. it's like inviting blaire white onto your show, not some doddering old man. these people actively work with terfs and far right groups as "the good trans".
it's not a generational divide. there's plenty of young transmedicalists. it's a conservative position that posits that if we cut out all the "weird" trans people, we can gain the acceptance of the cissies because good "optics" or whatever (I've actually had this conversation in a phone call with a staunch transmedicalist that's very much a zoomer).
the reality is that queer assimilationists endanger all of us. their position forces them into alliance with far-right groups (see my earlier comments about TERFs and fascists).
this disagreement has nothing to do with a generational divide. I love elder trans people and learning about how they survived prior to the 2011 change to the laws that enabled informed consent. their experiences are vital. what I will not tolerate are people who deny the existence of my dearest NB friends, on a fool's errand to gain acceptance from a hostile cis society.
