Status Updates From Un daño irreversible: La lo...

Trans community, allies, believers in individual freedoms should be aware that you need to get over a third of the way through before there is the least accommodation of perspective of successful transitioners.

True that we don't know how such drastic changes will play out, and that adolescents aren't known for future focussed decisions, but Shrier's fundamentalist advocacy is for a minority who change their minds.

I have no prescriptive moral opinions about gender transitioning. I recognise the urgency to transition pre-puberty if kids want to later "pass", and for their mental health. I recognise the severity of consequences if children are caught in peer pressure or a fad, which there seems to also be some evidence for.

But Abigail Shrier is a privileged autocrat who I have never seen consider what happens if she's wrong.
