Am unsure that having the BBC stick up for you is the best look here
Not sure that reporting what happened counts as sticking up for anyone - unless you are back to saying that reality has a liberal bias and that simply stating facts is thus automatically left-wing.

A trans pre-med student in Florida, the heart of DeSantis's assault on trans rights, speaks

https://www.insider.com/trans-college-student-florida-ron-desantis-hormone-therapy-2023-3?amp

I can't pull out individual quotes on my phone for some reason, but I encourage anyone interested in this to read it.

Plenty about the standard of gender-affirming care (informed consent, overseen by a team of medical professionals, no pressure to continue or to stop), the enormous mental health benefits and HRT's association with decline in depression and suicidal ideation, the immediate chilling of effect of DeSantis's for trans healthcare (but not, nb, for cisgender people getting the same treatments for other reasons).

Also wanted note that DeSantis defended the request by essentially saying that being trans is a mental illness and that the answer is counseling, not to "hack off their body parts". Which for anyone who's followed this thread, is almost word for word what Benny said to begin with.

So congratulations on being in lockstep with Ron DeSantis. Not somewhere I'd ever want to be, but that's me. The right-wing-TERF (btw if someone can come up with a different term to encapsulate that worldview, I'd be fine using that instead, but I can't imagine what it would be) ideological alliance against trans people is a very real thing.

This isn't even a new thing, is it? Wasn't there already an unofficial - or maybe even official, I don't know - alliance between Evangelicals and some feminists over porn and the sex industry in general?
