Libs, walking straight into chud talking points and framing in a blissfully innocent attempt at "nuance" since...1650? Earlier? Fucked if I know they've always been this way.
The usual GC types are already making out-of-context clips.
Uphold TC69 thought, combat liberalism, We love and fight with our Trans Comrades!
In isolation, it'd not be too bad.
But basically she quotes the evidence on Trans Children on puberty blockers, as well as psychological data in general, in a way that instead of saying "This is probably good but some questions on precise treatment programs remain" say "There are likely real Trans Children and fake Trans Children and we simply cannot know which is which via something like...say...superficial psychological counselling like we can for a myriad of other childhood and adolescent mental health issues because...reasons. I'm not going to recommend any action because I had spine dysphoria from a young age and had it removed." (but clearly the tone indicates a conservative approach)
This has (of course) been immediately run with by GCs to mean "Sabine, Noted Scientist and Correct Person, agrees with us that puberty blockers are dangerous and there's an epidemic of young girls being mutilated and young boys being lured by nonces into being trans, which doesn't exist. We must stop treatment immediately and drive trans activists into the sea!"
I'm posting about this a lot cause I'm mad, the whole bit about puberty blockers not being "safe" bc they can reduce bone density made me so fucking angry. We have ways to handle that down the road! Are we going to stop children from playing sports because they might permanently fuck up some muscle and need treatment later? Are we going to stop giving advanced placement classes because there's a chance it will screw up a kid's social development? There are tons of things that can have massive long term affects on kids for a short term benefit. We let them make calls like that all the time
Absolutely. (That said I was refused an advanced placement (skipping 2 years) class as a child due to social development concerns. Turns out I'd be Like This no matter what so jokes on them.)
She would be in the video section and not the dunk tank if we weren't having the same feelings about this.
