I don’t recall defending Keffals as I do not know who that is, so I have no intention of addressing the first half of your post.

In regards to your second point, I don’t know. If it is the case that someone from KiwiFarms is SWATing people, and Null is ambivalent about it, then a world where KiwiFarms is tolerated is not one that I would like.

Considering how much of a jackass Null was in regards to Byuu/Near’s suicide, it really doesn’t seem out of character.

Let me clarify; I don't know who Keffals is, but I also don't care who she is either. Even if you proved that she was literally reincarnated Hitler, it would change nothing about my opinion on KiwiFarms. Destroying her credibility would serve no purpose to me, because my concerns in regards to the forum are unrelated to her.

I've been lightly following KiwiFarms for years now, have seen the level of bizarrely "proud ambivalence" exuded by Null for the actions of the forum members, and have thought that the site was a skidmark on society for most of that time.

That guide is a useful resource for trans people of all ages.

If your gender dysphoria is destroying your mental health and your parents will send you to torture camp for being on hormones, then taking hormones in secret is the moral thing to do.

Doctors not performing tubal ligations on women and other afab people under 30 is pure, unadulterated misogyny.

edit: responding to post by deepdriver below, SEGM is a torture-promoting group (yes, conversion therapy is torture) funded by dark money. https://transsafety.network/posts/segm-uncovered/

Oh, and also, if your gender dysphoria is destroying your mental health then focusing on fertility is just patriarchy. At the individual level, reproduction is a morally neutral act. Improving your mental health is a morally good act, so it clearly takes priority.

It absolutely is not. Children cannot consent to sterilizing medical procedures. Doctors are prohibited by law from performing tubal ligations on women under 18, and most won’t do it on women under 30.

The science on trans youth is evolving rapidly; the UK, Sweden, and Finland just severely curtailed use of blockers and hormones on minors due to the clear risks of harm and unclear risks of benefit. I expect the US to follow suit in a few years, once our current political fever breaks and the medical evidence remains. The Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine is a good place to review the science and track new developments:

Linking an anti-trans organisation, nice [1]

Calling well-established science replicated over many years and large-n studies “dodgy” simply doesn’t make it so.
