It's really important that young people are tested for underlying health conditions such as polycystic ovaries instead of automatically being put on a 'gender-affirming' pathway. If a child presents with diabetes, we don't turn that into an identity and hand them a Pepsi.

The people who most need to learn the details of Ms. Bell's story are the millions of self-satisfied, virtue-signaling trans allies who make such a show of compassion for "trans kids." They have somehow embraced the fiction that there are real trans youth out there who are being kept down by mean people like us. Of course, it would help if the mainstream media were to profile Ms. Bell objectively.

By the way, it is not necessarily correct that Ms. Bell will never be seen as female again. To the contrary, it would be difficult to mistake her for a man.

Let's call it what it is: sex denying care.

What exceptional self knowledge Keira ! She seems to be such a lovely person despite all the terrible treatment. She’s not wanting to make women feel uncomfortable in public toilets! An absolute role model of someone facing reality with dignity.

The truth is that at first, testosterone can make some people feel much better. For them, the problem will be down the road.
