The psych appearing on Four Corners tonight is a total loose unit.
"The practitioner would like to see the state’s anti-discrimination act changed to include a clause that states, “no health worker may be required to use a patient’s preferred pronouns”
"The doctor’s relationship with hospital management allegedly began to fray when she took down a transgender flag that had been hung in the youth mental health unit’s waiting room and also began signing her emails with the phrase ‘adult human female’."
Again this theme of anti-trans lobbyists being stood down for totally reasonable concerns from management and then going to the media framing it as if it is somehow the fault of trans people.
"All I did was say gay people aren't real, tore down a pride flag, and signed off my emails with 'I refuse to respect homosexuals'"

Thread - Ways that you can help trans young people in this moment.
Seeing the outpouring of solidarity from people has been really heartwarming but we need to prepare ourselves for more attacks ahead. Here's some things you can do...
1. Donate. There are a number of amazing orgs out there but two of my picks would be blackrainbow.org.au@blkrnbow and transcend.org.au@transcend_aust. They both do incredible work supporting families and community and are just actual heroes.
2. Attend protests and stand with us in the streets. There are a bunch organised for the coming days.
