Doctors have been 'cautioning' for slowing down trans healthcare since trans healthcare was started, but much of the gatekeeping was really built in the 1950s by John Money and his ilk at John Hopkins. The aim was always to prevent transition as much as possible, and it is so incredibly stupid that, once again, a doctor whose whole role is gatekeeping transition argues that we have to be "more careful" with it.

Like, how many years of evidence is needed for this? 50? 70? 100? We literally have 100 years of evidence supporting gender transition, and still, still, we have to be "careful" with it.

Anyways, read Jules Gill-Peterson's Histories of the Transgender Child.

#fuck the Labour party eternally #I was literally lecturing on their socialist policies back in 1900 #and how they were the first major party to endorse women's suffrage #and how many of the party advocated for gay and trans rights #barely even a shell of its former self now
