Shout out to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social for repeatly hammering home the point that if transphobes had evidence of their claims—giant waves of transition regret! Huge numbers of children getting trans surgeries! A surge of SA in women's prisons!—then they would actually just show that evidence

Increasingly I wonder if people have forgotten we once had an Age of Enlightenment, or never knew it existed.

Reason, science, equality are now considered irrelevant, suffering funding cuts or woke

Exactly, and this applies to every right wing shit (like happen at my country, Spain) If data really support their shitty opinions, they would show it, but since that isn´t the case, they need to create an alternative reality using fake situations, AI videos, etc. where those data doesn´t matter

I was able to positively shift a conversation with coworkers today by using facts from his work on this! They didn’t know how in-depth the process to get surgery is. That it wasn’t ‘easy’ for a minor to access.

Exactly.

They even get a bit huffy when folks do ask for the proof behind their stories, often spinning up stories that prove to be pure fictions on clse examination
