since we're talking about anti-vaxxers & calls to "debate me", I will add that anti-trans activists use this exact same playbook. you can't "debate" a scientific consensus, b/c it's not based on one study & can't be undone w/individual "questions/concerns"

...I will add that the anti-trans parent movement is eerily similar to the anti-vaccine parent movement in their tactics and dynamics – I detail those parallels here:

...ppl are sharing this great thread on further similarities with the "subliminal Satanic messages" moral panic of the 1980s. TL;DR: there is no satisfying conspiracy theorists b/c they're not evidence based & will never be swayed by "debate"...

brand new essay, many weeks in the making: "Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth Is Neither New nor Experimental: A Timeline and Compilation of Studies." no-paywall link, 15 min read + over 100 references – please share & give it "claps"!

...FYI most media outlets wouldn't have allowed me to publish this piece as is. so if you appreciate that I make essays like this freely available online, pls consider supporting me on Patreon for as little as $1/month!
patreon.com/juliaserano #trans #transgender #LGBTQ #science
🧵my essay 1) provides a brief history of how gender-affirming care came to be, 2) debunks the most common anti-trans & just-asking-questions talking points & tactics, 3) provides a list of over 100 studies & reviews showing how established this field is:

I see lots of ppl on my TL asking for Bluesky invites. so I guess I will throw my hat into the ring to haha...
...I remember people were talking up Post when it first launched. I'm there now, but I find the platform to be rather boring, so not sure what to think of this latest Bluesky craze ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... post.news/@/juliaserano

FYI the word "transgenderism" began as an in-community term to refer to the phenomenon of transgender people (our existence & experiences). TERFs later twisted it to make it sound like an ideology (it's not). "eradicating transgenderism" = eradicating us.

...CPAC dude & others on the right may quibble over "what he actually meant was..." but their actions speak louder than words:
...it's so f-ing exhausting to end a week of pundits arguing "just b/c the rock & helicopter whistleblower lied doesn't mean her story is completely untrue" with "just b/c he said 'transgenderism' doesn't mean he was referring to transgender ppl" takes...

sharing this again given something that just happened...
...the "something" is this (TL;DR Jesse just shared 2016 private texts with an ex-colleague whose views on trans ppl/issues/healthcare have since changed). for me, this is a microcosm of the entire Jesse story arc...
...stage 1 (circa 2016-18), Jesse convinced many people who didn't know much about trans kids and gender-affirming care that "kids were being rushed into hormones & surgeries." while many trans ppl & advocates pointed out many flaws in his articles, others took him seriously...

of course on the day my essay finally comes out unpacking/critiquing this Jonathan Chait quote from 2 weeks ago, he's moved onto pundit-ing about the lab-leak theory haha...
...omg, Chait has somehow managed to link the lab-leak theory to "rushing kids into hormones & surgeries" – because of course he has! #GalaxyPunditBrain
...in thinking about it, I guess the two issues (origin of Covid19 & efficacy of gender-affirming care) have 3 things in common: 1) experts in the field largely in consensus, 2) the few who disagree are given disproportionate attention (either by ppl with racist or transphobic...
