I am happy to see you getting angry about this. It's overdue.

It's disheartening that clarity like logic and scientific literacy mean so little to most people. It's frightening that so people educated and intelligent people still believe that

* "gender dysphoria" has strict diagnostic criteria. It doesn't. An impromptu declaration of self-identity is all it takes

* gender transition "therapy" requires a year living as the opposite sex. That has not been true since the replacement of gender identity disorder with "gender dysphoria" in 2013.

* puberty blockers do no harm and are completely reversible, based on a deeply flawed study financed by a pharmaceutical corporation that manufactures them, https://open.substack.com/pub/genderclinicnews/p/cognitive-challenge

* a newborn's sex is "assigned" by something like a coin toss, while the child's true sex awaits a decision made while the brain is immature enough to believe in Santa Claus.

"I am happy to see you getting angry about this. It's overdue."

Not sure why you think I'm "overdue" in getting angry about an issue that I've been writing and talking about for around three years now. I am angry. I'm just not going to be indiscriminate about who that anger is directed at.

There are lots of people out there who are happy to condemn an entire group for the actions of its worst members. I'd have thought, after all these years, it would be obvious I'm not one of them.

I could have chosen my word better. "Derisive," not angry.
