We’re pretty sure you also are tired of being held hostage by the claim that if minors don’t get the gender-affirming “care” they need — hormones, puberty blockers, top surgery — they’re likely to commit suicide. Would you rather have a trans kid or a dead kid? Nevermind the lack of serious studies in the U.S. that track those minors well beyond the “honeymoon period” and 10 or even 20 years into the future. It’s ideological blackmail, plain and simple.
Wesley Yang, who writes a lot about transgender issues, posted a tweet that will cause an unknown number of people to die.
No men in women's prisons
No men in women's intimate spaces
No mandatory pronouns
No secret social transition
No bans on exploratory therapy
No pediatric gender transition outside of experimental settings
No men in women's sports
No overwriting of sex by gender identity in law— Wesley Yang (@wesyang) February 27, 2023
No teaching of gender ideology to children

This is the only reasonable, moderate, and stable resolution.

The assault on core civil liberties and civil rights required to obtain the list of objectives listed in OP is total.
A society that allows free conscience will reject it completely.
— Wesley Yang (@wesyang) February 27, 2023
Consenting, informed adults in a free society can be plastic surgery fetishists or hormone junkies if they choose. It isn't medicine, it does not constitute a protected class or confer access to the opposite sex's spaces.
— Wesley Yang (@wesyang) February 27, 2023
No hate for plastic surgery fetishists or hormone junkies; only sympathy for those consumed by their desires, aversions, and complexes. Happy to play along in the right context and curious to learn more.
But no one can compel anyone to participate.

Other countries are sidling back to reason and reality on this.
Though there are many reasons that it will be harder to do so here, we can absolutely do it too: https://t.co/2o58lO7sQX

Damn, that’s quite a thread. But is the body count worth the clicks?
How many will die because of this tweet? End the hate. Real lives will be lost when they commit suicide. https://t.co/hMVkeWa40x

Zero. The number is zero. https://t.co/a6qWpSxRT8
— Wesley Yang (@wesyang) February 27, 2023
Our guess is also zero.

None

None, nada, zero, zilch
— Skookum (@RdNkEngineer) February 27, 2023
That would be zero people
— 3DPrintedM1A1 (@3DPrintedM1A1) February 27, 2023
As many as died before we even had this as a subject to discuss. Same number.

Let me do that math. (carries the one) ah yes… the answer is pic.twitter.com/REuVhICKcV

Zero.
None.
This tweet will kill exactly no one.
Being hyperbolic doesn’t help your cause.

"give me what I want or I'll kill myself" is abuser behavior, just fyi
