Some facts The Australian “forgot” to mention while trying to punch down on trans kids and those who care for them today

A thread

Meet Associate Professor Michelle Telfer 1/

The Australian Guidelines for Transgender Children which are evidence and research based have been considered so excellent they have been featured in the most prestigious medical journal in the world- @TheLancet 2/
thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/…
In this podcast Michelle Telfer explains more about the guidelines, that they were put together with the consensus of all experts working in the field throughout Australia and more about transgender children 3/

This information sheet for parents from @AustPsych gives advice on how best to support gender diverse children
Obviously Diane Kenny is not a member of Australia’s largest psychological body and out of step with her contemporaries 4/

psychology.org.au/getmedia/03213…
Australia is not alone supporting transgender children. The American Psychological Association @APA also practice this as do many other countries such as Canada and New Zealand 5/

apa.org/monitor/2018/0…
Doctors and psychologists encourage parents to support their gender diverse children because there is research, done by real doctors, that show this gives our kids the best outcome in life 6/

We also have research we shows us what happens when we don’t support Australian transgender kids.

The sad thing is I know that no matter how many FACTS I tweet out it won’t matter.
Facts don’t change the hearts and minds of people who don’t want to listen
Facts are never going to see the light of day some media articles
But I’m a fan of facts
So I won’t stop 9/
Just please leave our children to grow up in peace and with dignity

Thanking Kelly Winters and her team once again for another peer reviewed paper confirming that affirming trans and gender diverse kids is what helps them thrive
#protecttranskids

cfp.ca/content/64/5/3…
“Globally, health care providers acknowledge that gender is “a matter of diversity, not pathology,”6 and gender identity is being formally recognized as a deeply personal and fundamental human right.7”
“these studies suggest that children who consistently assert a transgender identity are likely to continue to do so.16–19”

Yesterday's indictment is a major signal that we're nearing the end of the #TrumpRussia prologue.

I interviewed @Mimirocah1 about the story which she said indicates that "prosecutors are putting the pieces together."

I agree.

Here's my $0.02.

Why is Natalia Veselnitskaya's link to the Kremlin so important?

1 - SDNY provides Mueller with apolitical evidence sent from the target that predates all investigations.
2 - Proves Don Jr. met a Kremlin Agent
3 - Burns the Russian prosecution against @Billbrowder

2/
Natalia Veselnitskaya had been working on the Prevezon case for years, but in 2014 she involved herself drafting of the official response to the DoJ's invocation of a treaty for legal assistance.

She sent the evidence that she worked with the Kremlin to SDNY prosecutors.

Today Pink Legacy diamond from platinum necklace donated by Maharaja of Mysore to Tirumala Tirupati Temples known as 'Leonardo da Vinci of Diamonds' was auctioned by Christie's at Geneva despite our letter to PMO & temple mahant's warnings. But how did it reach there?
In its 251 years in business, Christie's sold only 4 such diamonds weighing more than 10 carats, this #TTD diamond was almost 20 carats and sold for a record $70 million to Harry Winston. But no one has bothered to ask still how did this diamond get there? abc.net.au/news/2018-11-1…
According to British auction house Christie's this Tirumala Tirupati temples diamond once belonged to the Oppenheimer diamond family. But how did this diamond reach there from #TTD? And what is this Oppenheimer family? We warned about this in detail to our PMO early this year.

#Thread During #KeralaFloods many of the people lost their crucial documents. It was a big mess to recover these documents since they don't even remember the document no. Hence, Kerala IT department came up with an API architecture to retrieve the documents. (1/n)
The idea was generated jointly by IT secretary M.Sivasankar and KSUM CEO Saji Gopinath. The target was to retrieve the documents by taking the basic inpit values known to the public. It startes working last day (2/n)
Incase of Aadhaar, govt will take your biometrics as the input value to generate E-Aadhaar if one doesn't remember the ID number. This will be pushed into Digilocker account created. Also will get a print out for free of cost. (3/n)

THREAD: earlier I tweeted about Jesse Singal's long history of writing fearmongering anti-#trans/GNC #children articles (+ also treating me & other trans women shittily): #transgender #LGBTQ #health #psychology
...Here I will "live tweet" Singal's latest Atlantic article, which is in the same vein as the others. If I was teaching a journalism class, I'd use this latest article as an example of how to write a highly biased piece that comes across as "fair & balanced" as possible...
...and since people unfamiliar with this subject will no doubt be unaware of all the misinformation & biases at work here, I'm gonna do math to it! I'm dividing it into 14 sections, each of which begins with its own header (aka, giant capital letter)...
