Cis folks, do me a favour
Next time one of your friends jumps in with 'I've read [insert billionaire wizard writer lady's] blog, she's not transphobic..."
Remind them that up until recently cis doctors have tried *EVERYTHING* to make us not trans

We've been raped, electrocuted via both EST to electrodes on genitals, drugged with everything from anti depressants to chemical castration, psychotherapy ranging from exhaustive talk therapy to conversion therapy, beaten, isolated from social and peer networks....
And the only thing that has been found to improve the lives of trans people has been self directed transition
As can be evidence by systematic review of available litrature

So what [insert wizard lady's name here] is suggesting when she feels people are being 'rushed into it' is that the evidence is wrong and we should go back to trying the things that were tried before that also failed and had significant negative impact
She's suggesting that we don't follow the science, we don't follow patient centred care and that we should give torture another go
Cause for over 70 years, cis people were trying to make us not trans....and it didn't work
She's advocating for an approach that is harmful

Wizard lady wants the medical profession to go back to torturing kids and trying to sell it as 'a reasonable concern'
That's why it's transphobia
That's why it's transphobia
I can break down the other points, like we've *always* used the appropriate bathrooms lest we be done for solicitation (I've come across a few cases in NSW and it's pretty grim)
Or that door signs don't stop cis dudes from just walking in and that any law designed to keep trans folk out will lead to women's appearances being policed based on how feminine one looks and cis women will be no safer (actually worse off if cis men start getting involved)
Or that Ireland has self ID and cis women are no worse off because in practice it changes nothing
Because the issue with cis men rapists is that it's cis men rapists, not trans women and rape isn't prosecuted with any seriousness and there's no real consequences for them

But ultimately, wizard lady claims to care about children...I don't know about you, but anyone advocating that we scrap evidence based medicine in favour of tried-and-failed methods that achieve nothing but torturing kids *should* be enough to demonstrate her transphobia

Cause some people think 'experts' sit at the top and the reason they don't is because of bias that written into each of us. The higher you go, the more bias gets filtered out
