There is perhaps no topic so hotly and disingenuously debated, during these days of hotly debated social issues, as the subject of gender transition and particularly gender transition and children. There are many voices being raised, and many voices being silenced. I add my voice as one who has been directly and deeply affected in the most personal way possible. I am the mother of two children who have medically transitioned. Therefore, I have as much skin in this discussion as anyone else. I have worked in this arena for several years now, and I'm currently working with an organization that was formed to give parents, people directly affected by this topic, a voice which we fully deserve to have.
"As a parent, and a woman, I care about all of these issues. But the safeguarding of children must take precedence, because children, of all people, deserve our protection. Children are unable to advocate for themselves." Yes -https://sofasrus.substack.com/p/home-to-mother?s=w
What is your organization?
Yes, sign me up! Is the organization PITT, or something else?
Thanks for this piece. What's the "BBC exposé"? That link is dead ("Page cannot be found").
Thank you!

I'm humbled reading about your work, and the amount of thought and realism you have been able to bring to the strategy you have developed.
FYI, the link to the " BBC exposé." has an extra ) at the end which stops it working.
