A tip-of-the-iceberg post.

There are many more like this. Many threads include posts by well-known activists (who are group members), offering to help pressure US insurance companies into paying for hormones/surgeries at younger & younger ages. The pressure is often successful.
2. Discussions re: pressuring insurance companies to cover pediatric interventions also take place in public groups.This from 2016 by Dr. Olson-Kennedy describes, w/screen caps, what insurance companies say in denials (in this case, for puberty blockers)

3. Another discussion, this time about insurance denials for double mastectomy, and how to get around them.

4. This denial notice for a puberty-blocking implant points out that patient is expressing suicidal ideation. "This one gets me the most pissed off."

5. Another denial, this one referring to the fact that GnRh agonists is approved only for prostate cancer or precocious puberty.

6. "The drug must have been proven [key word] safe, effective, and accepted."

Commenter points out that WPATH may not be in favor of surgery before 18, but American Academy of Pediatrics is more "progressive." Well known activist offers "no fees" help; another refers to article by Olson-Kennedy promoting double mastectomies for minors.

1. THREAD. Example of how moderators in the 8000+-member affirmative parent group vigilantly police and remove any information which may raise doubts. Here, a parent posts a forbidden article & wonders about underlying reasons that might be a factor in her teen's sudden trans ID.
2. "Admin, can this link be removed?"
3. Admin intervenes: "We've all been there" but remember -- it's suicide or transition. The not-so-implicit message is that even raising questions means the child "does not receive support at home," with dire consequences. Misuse of the NCTE 2014 stat follows.

1. THREAD.

In response to the anonymized leaks our source provided to 4thWaveNow from the affirmative parent forum, some angry members of the forum have appeared on Twitter to criticize us for “cherry picking” a “miniscule number of posts.”
2. They rightly point out that not everyone is talking about fake penises for preschoolers, the best tucking underwear to hide a 4-yr-old’s male genitalia, ER visits due to binding, & other things our source exposed.
3. They say we aren’t revealing the forum posts about happy trans kids in less extreme contexts.

Those purportedly happy trans kids are the subject of 10000s of media stories over the last 5+ years. In fact, many of their parents are members of the forum; some are celebrities.

My latest in the @guardian on the Conservatives turning a blind eye to Islamophobia in their Party despite the scale of the issue.

This thread will highlight some of the "monumental weight of evidence" of the problem.

The campaign for Mayor of London was called "dog whistle racism" by senior Conservatives such as Andrew Boff, who said the idea of painting Khan as an extremist was "outrageous".

Ken Clarke said it was "ludicrous"

But it's not just Zac Goldsmith who should be held responsible, although his comments were particularly awful. The entire party machinery supported him.

Cameron (PM at the time) even libelled an Imam as he tried to slur Sadiq Khan

I try very hard these days to take the time & expend the emotional labour explaining to people who have lots of "opinions" on sex work why their "opinions" might not be a) accurate and b) in fact harmful to the workers they claim to really want to 'help.'

It gets exhausting.
This is a lot of what filled my feed today. Initially, I thought this was someone just a little misguided, with good intentions. But after reading & re-reading their blog, I heard many of the same insults & misdirection that gets thrown in my direction on a daily basis.
I was going to put my thoughts in an email or a blog, go point by point, explain what my concerns were, explain why - I was going to try & be a grown up. But after hearing the opinions of workers who I respect, who are way smarter than me denegraded AGAIN as just 'ranting' -

INSURANCE BROKERAGE
This is a business you can do on either a part-time or full time basis, depending on your resources, social network and capability. For those, however, who do not have much capital to start with you can operate right from your house. #WednesdayWisdom
To do a good job, however, there are few important things that you must know.First you must be familiar with the various laws and regulations governing the insurance business. Secondly, you must be certain about the condition for claims.
#insurance
There are several insurance companies who will employ you and you don't necessary need to resume at their offices until you have clients who want to insure something with you.
One other important factor of success in this business is absolute honesty on your part.

Hello good people of Twitter! In case you missed it, the Insurers Committee has begun an educational campaign for the #insurance industry in #Nigeria - #LiveWithFreedom! Follow @youareinsured for updates.
The Insurers Committee is an industry body comprising all the #insurance companies in #Nigeria, @Naicom_NG and the Nigerian Insurers Association. #LiveWithFreedom
Once upon a time, #insurance in #Nigeria was a necessary evil. Something you did to avoid @followlastma wahala. It was boring and unsexy oh. #LiveWithFreedom

Well now, this article comes across my desk twice in 24 hrs & I've been aware of this fact & how it fits into the very complex multilayered fact patterns I've been posting out in all of my threadstorms in the last month I just haven't meandered my way into weaving in yet till now
This takes us all the way back to Perestroika & the fall of the Berlin Wall & the diaspora of senior Soviet officials into the new oligarchy & senior & most sinister KGB officials into the Russian Mafia & is at the very core of the launch of The Perestroika Deception.
There are 7 key American names involved in this & I'll deal mostly with them. You can read the WSJ article for complete context including the Russians and all the cash, but I'm focusing on who in America has been instrumental in aiding & abetting Soviet subversion & precisely how
