Pediatric transition skeptics. 'Like samizdat for the sane & ideologically uncowed'. Free speech. Science.

Why do certain MTF trans activists repeatedly lie to make their points? Here's Katelyn Burns 2 days ago, doubling down on a lie about one of the parents in @jessesingal 's Atlantic article. @Jennifer_star . Burns told the same lie in 2019, & was corrected at the time.

The current outrage and rehashed lies spewed by Burns and others of the same ilk are in response to detransitioners getting more attention in the media, as well as @jk_rowling tweeting Sunday's @thetimes article.

Here's our thread back when Burns first lied that the parent of a desister engaged in "obvious abuse" by going kayaking, playing board games, and encouraging healthy family time with her daughter. We know how to time travel, too, @transscribe .

Why does this lying matter? Because @transscribe Katelyn Burns is a prominent trans journalist, regarded as an expert. Like Zinnia Jones @ZJemptv, Burns seems unable to tolerate the fact that detransitioners, desisters, & those who advocate for them are speaking up & being heard.

Lying liars tend to lie about everything.
