@oolon Hmm. Easiest, cheapest way to do this is license back what they sold to 🇮🇳, the biometric Aadhar card, & put the database on a tech bros cloud. To issue to everyone & use for jobs & NHS they'll upload the DWP/NI/IR, NHS registry, Home Office Passports/Birth/Death/GRR/Visas data😱
@oolon That'll give them current address, phones, email, photo if have passport, employer, benefits, visa status, GP, sex at birth & current gender, all with any participation by victims. Add DVLA database for more photos & to get vehicles & driving record. PNC to add crimes.

@J6ssicaWatkins @laura_tee_mdgi 1/ Well, the 2004 🇬🇧GRA was not a good faith enactment of what ECHR required of 🇬🇧 after losing in Goodwin (2002), after 34 years of no one 🇬🇧 being able to change their BC & marry due to the 1970 Corbett judgment that sex is chromosomes (biology) & cannot change.
@J6ssicaWatkins @laura_tee_mdgi 2/ Instead of simply changing the BC 7, sealing the old records upon receipt of a certificate from one's surge, as every other country that then recognised change did, 🇬🇧gov made it that one needed 2 Drs letters, one from an "expert" on their small list of people in 🇬🇧…

@laura_tee_mdgi 1/ The ECHR in Goodwin rejected the UK's refusal of recognition of change of sex for BC/Marriage because chromosomes cannot be changed (ie biology) & required that Goodwin's (& similar) change of sex be legally recognised post-facto. 🇬🇧 effectively already recognised it…
@laura_tee_mdgi 2/…for other purposes (name change, passports, licenses, NHS, qualifications), as 🇬🇧 argued, saying that should be enough without having to "falsify" the "historical record". So the GRA claiming only a GRC changed everything was baseless - it only added…

@HLeeHurley 1/ As I understand it 🏴gov's original act that FWS used to start their action made all women eligible but 🏴gov redrew it to use GRC. Then FWS continued to claim even a GRC doesn't make one a woman, & have lost at every stage since then. However, since the law is clear on that…
@HLeeHurley 2/…FWS must have other objectives in mind. The unfortunate fact that, at the last level the court made an erroneous obiter dicter that women without a GRC are men (in contravention of ECtHR in Goodwin which is clear that legal recognition is post facto a change of sex), which…

@assignedmedia 1/ No, that's really NOT the point. That's exactly the false argument that Cass focused upon, took apart & used against help. Any apparent evidence that PBs alone help in that way may be just from an affirming clinic, or even just from not being denied any hope. The point is…
@assignedmedia 2/…to make life as the kids true gender easier, maybe even switch it from being impossible, without making them suffer years of surgeries etc - if any can be accessed (the NHS provides none but top surgery) to try to reverse the effects of the wrong puberty.

@moira_robin 1/ There are all of FIVE counter-evidential claims in that single para. Don't be distracted by just one. The @UofWA studies show benefits from social transition & there are none contraditing that; DSD kids physically transitioned at birth counter to chromosomal sex mostly…
@moira_robin @UofWA 2/…rejected it (Reiner) & are not comparable to children expressing their own gender identity 2+ years later. There is no evidence social transition causes persistence (it's another baseless GC idea like PBs doing the same), instead that kids who insist upon social transition…

1/ Some here seem under the misapprehension that NHS🏴(or 🇸🇪) are about to start "trials" of GNRH agonist puberty blockers in trans adolescence that will create useful evidence for future approvals. They are not.
2/ What are proposed are unethical & illegal forcing of trans children - the most vulnerable members of the longest still demonised born minority - to be subject to useless pseudo research. Free healthcare will be denied unless they consent to participation.

@KarabergKara The letter was from the main teaching centre for psychoanalysis, & that's what the visible signees were/are. The same letter was in The Telegraph🔗 which showed 3 different names of the 8 so 3 remain anonymous. The most senior was the head of telegraph.co.uk/comment/letter…

@doublehelix @Basil_TGMD 1/ But has anyone seen precisely what Labour is proposing? "One 'doctor' to diagnose GD": any doctor, or only medical doctors (psychologists can do it presently)? Only at an NHS gender clinic (where wait lists are 10yrs+)? What if one has 🇺🇳ICD-11 Gender Incongruence but not …
@doublehelix @Basil_TGMD 2/…🇺🇸DSM-V Gender Dysphoria (a mental disorder diagnosis); has Labour forgotten that ECtHR ruled in 2002 that transsexualism is an inborn condition & not a mental disorder, & that a Labour government advised parliament of that medical fact in 2004? Why is this proposal…

1⃣Effective intervention at Tanner2 in AFAB prevents any need for top surgery. So that's very helpful
2⃣Arlene got no answer because they were openly against such intervention - which they saw as "binary" - at the time
3⃣All such information is dismissed as "anecdotal"

@chasestrangio@jessesingal 2/
4⃣Criticism of European clinics is mostly from those demanding long-term, large cohort "randomised control trials" (RCT) which are unethical in established & effective treatments where non-treatment is obvious & causes irreversible lifelong harm. It is not in good faith.

@JonRonson9@LastBehaviorist@SamHarrisOrg 1/ Yes, but none of us got a user manual at birth, so we have to see what emerges & try to communicate that in the words available at the applicable age. The research Sapolsky cited only had brain tissue of those dead by the late '70s, long before any were out as non-binary…
@JonRonson9@LastBehaviorist@SamHarrisOrg 2/…so none were included, but the range of neuron numbers across the totality of subjects & controls suggests that people can be intermediate; this might account for those unsure until later & non-binary identities. Unfortunately, no other country has ever bothered to…

@ShapiroTattoo@christapeterso 1/ They're conflating gender dysphoria with suicidal ideation, trying to erase that GD is frustrated #GenderIncongruence. In the Bell case, they used GIDS' lousy study of their patients which found SI wasn't reduced on PBs (negating the 🇳🇱 finding it was) to say PBs didn't…

@RozKaveney@ceemage Having been forcibly made aware of the possibility of/threatened, on my 3rd birthday, in 1950, with the rest of my life in an asylum, with daily ECT, "because that's what happens to people like you", I count from then, really. But comparisons are invidious & to be avoided.
@ceemage 1/ As my pinned tweet says, my mother was a nurse who had gone seeking an answer to my asking her some months before to find out if doctors had a way to make me grow up as a woman, & instead learned the official NHS "treatment path". So I believed her.

@JamesCantorPhD@georgie1801@jack_turban Once again you do the ultimate transphobe thing of trying to link us to pedophilia. Why does anyone take you seriously, James?
You know your other "reasons" are lies.⬇️
None of that answers why you ignore that seriously inconvenient research.
@JamesCantorPhD@georgie1801@jack_turban 2 / The Swaab et al research explicitly controlled for the effects of hormones, but besides, it is now known the BSTc is irreversibly gendered in the first months neonatally, & that it is normally due to the effects (or lack of effect) of androgen but at least one known…
The pressure was from medical ethics in the light of what became obvious after GIDS responded to the lead of their 🌍 medical peers & peer clinics.
In 2009 the veteran gender expert Prof Richard Green, recently…
@mikeroscoe67@NotRightRuth 2/…retired head of the world's largest adult GIC - London's Charing Cross - was so disgusted🔗 at the psychoanalytically-based pediatric clinic, GIDS' stubborn refusal to prevent the harm he had seen to those arriving at adult clinics… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@trans_mum@mimmymum@AlexSharpe64 And now it's the only reason for court involvement everywhere but 🏴🏴, since the 🇦🇺 Family Court finally, 2yrs ago, revoked the last remnant of their ruling brought in with the help of GIDS' di Ceglie that every step be court authorised by re-enabling parental consent
@trans_mum@mimmymum@AlexSharpe64 Why didn't 🏴 pediatric gender clinic GIDS defend its adolescent patients' interests against their care being put under court control by citing 🇦🇺 jurisprudence revoking such control & allowing parental consent? Because GIDS wants to continue its denial of parental consent.

@Quibilah1@NyssaDogFriend@tomgabion 1/ Worse than that. She was before agonists started being provided during puberty (written endo policy then was nothing until puberty was completed) so her assessment didn't use the 🇳🇱 written, globally standardised diagnostic tools🖼that GIDS's peer clinics had been using for… @Quibilah1@NyssaDogFriend@tomgabion 2/…years & which GIDS trialed in their "audit" (which was never about the attributes of the agonists) & then adopted.
Worse yet, the case was started by a psychoanalyst who left GIDS even further back (2004) who claims GIDS were referring to endo too quickly even then.
