Well it's funny but not funny really is it @sally_hines? To any adult who does not question why there has been a 4400% rise in UK girls wishing to become boys via puberty blockers, CSH & surgery over the last decade, we ask you to pause, do some research and think.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how funny is it for children to start a lifetime of medication? How funny is it that other comorbidities such as autism, anxiety, depression are not thoroughly explored? How funny is it that girls as young as 12 in US & 18 in UK have healthy breasts removed?
How much does it make you laugh to imagine a child agreeing with her clinician that she never ever wants to have children? And how funny is it that she knows now, as a child, that she is the opposite sex, because peer pressure & social media tell her so?
How hilarious it is that lesbians have no social places of their own - either as young people or adults? That they are not welcome in LGBTQ+ clubs unless they agree that TWAW & thereby can be lesbians. That they are told they are transphobic if they do not agree.
Will you be splitting your sides when legislation like the "Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Bill 2020" in Victoria, Australia is passed? (Be aware that similar Bills are being discussed around the world).
It's really quite funny, because like many others around the world it'd make psychotherapy illegal for children & young people with gender dysphoria! So the hilarious thing is that the medical pathway would be the only option available! But the next bit will really crack you up!
The same Bill would remove definition of homosexuality from 2010 Equal Opportunity Act! So laugh your head off - out goes "homosexuality (including lesbianism), and bisexuality" to be replaced by "a person's sexual attraction to persons of the same gender or more than 1 gender"
And finally you must be rocking in the aisles when you read the recent study showing that only 8.5% of girls being referred to @TaviAndPort are exclusively attracted to boys. Did you know?

So go ahead - have a really hilarious time with your festive cheer - but do it in the knowledge that you are standing by and watching one of the greatest tragedies to befall girls, boys and all LGB people in our lifetime. Cheers!
