I am glad this person has decided to live their life the way they feel is right for them. What they are *not* entitled to do is *lie* *repeatedly* and be antisemitic while doing it. https://twitter.com/PhilosophyTube/status/1355577911949070341
Lie no.1) "If a cisgender (i.e. not trans) wants hormone replacement therapy for menopause she can get it from the GP"

Nope, there are multiple campaigns & help groups for women refused HRT, many forced to go privately. I know a literal score who have. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5832523/Why-GPs-refuse-women-HRT.html
Lie no. 2) "Women like me die waiting for the exact same medicines that bald men get to treat hair loss"

Nope. Finasteride is not available on the NHS, only via private prescription.

Lie no.3) "Trans men die waiting for breast reduction surgery that CIS women get for back pain".

Nope. Some CCG's fund breast reduction surgery, but not all and those only under extremely strict criteria and on a huge waiting list.
Lie no.4) "People under 16 can get an abortion, which is permanent, but trans-children can't get life-saving puberty blockers, which are reversible".

No-one yet knows if the effects of puberty-blockers are fully reversible, nor if they're "life-saving".

Lie no.5) "Antisemitic conspiracy theories about a mythical "trans lobby" controlling universities or government are printed without criticism"

Transpeople are Jews now? Really? Really?! I don't even know what to say to this nonsense it is so offensive & narcissistic.
As I said, everyone should be able to live their life as they wish, in happiness and safety; I've grown up with an Aunty who transitioned back in the 80s. But trans rights are not advanced by lying and minimising other people's experiences. This statement is not to be applauded.
