How do you find the article inaccurate?
Lesbians aren't TERFs.Modern trans activists have seriously devolved from those daysE.g., they didn't use to brand lesbians "TERFS".
But some TERFs are lesbians.
And some TERFs are straight.

BTW - "TERF" is a term the "TERFs" came up with themselves.
Personally, I prefer FART (feminism-appropriating reactionary* transphobe). It's certainly more accurate, since there isn't really any "radical feminism" in being anti-trans.
*some definitions use "radical" or "ridiculous" instead.

Literally, just reporting what has happened is sufficient for them to be labelled "someone who has drunk the gender ideology koolaid".
I guarantee you will get nothing approaching an answer to this question.
I don't recall him ever answering my questions.
They're "disingenuous" or something.
Nonetheless, they must be asked.
And I hope for answers.

LGB alliance has never provided support, advocacy or services for gay people or gay liberation.
It's an organization from the last few years that's sole purpose is to peddle conspiracy and oppose trans liberation.
These groups oppose bans on conversion therapy for trans people. Nothing more than a hate group hiding behind their homosexuality.
Just as you are cherry picking the doctors who match your pre-existing value tinted views on GAC, you are cherry picking homosexuals to defend backwards policy.

What are you worried about exactly? By chance, are you worried that gender-affirming is going to be administered without parental consent if the teachers don't out trans teenagers to potentially abusive parents? If the parents don't know already, chances are the teenagers feel unsafe and expect abusive reactions, thus why the label 'potentially abusive parents' is proper. Do you think your fear of gender-affirming care being somehow administered without parental consent justifies exposing trans teenagers to abuse?
Even gay folk can be bigots.
LGB Alliance - Wikipedia
The LGB Alliance is a British nonprofit advocacy group founded in 2019, in opposition to the policies of LGBT rights charity Stonewall on transgender issues.[1] Its founders are Bev Jackson, Kate Harris, Allison Bailey, Malcolm Clark and Ann Sinnott. The organization has said that lesbians are facing "extinction" because of the "disproportionate" focus on transgender identities in schools.[2]
The LGB Alliance describes its objective as "asserting the right of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men to define themselves as same-sex attracted", and states that such a right is threatened by "attempts to introduce confusion between biological sex and the notion of gender".[1] The group has opposed a ban on conversion therapy for trans people in the UK,[3] opposed the use of puberty blockers for children,[4] and opposed gender recognition reform.[5]
- it claims that LGBTQ+ people are being targeted, that's not true. GAC applies ONLY to kids who MIGHT end up trans.
- it claims that GAC can be life saving. This is a common mantra, but there is no good quality evidence to support that claim. This is a key point in this debate, not a detail. If GAC has no demonstrated efficacy then it should be curtailed until it's proven effective.
- it uses the phrase "sex assigned at birth" which is another phrase cooked up by trans activists. Sex is not "assigned at birth" it is ESTABLISHED AT CONCEPTION. (Sorry, I originally said CREATION, I meant CONCEPTION)
As a side note, my take is that the GOP is doing the right thing, but for the wrong reasons.

I disagree with most everything you just said.
I'm not afraid of GAC. I fear for the kids who receive it, that's a big difference. GAC is a lifelong commitment, it's dangerous, and it's efficacy remains unproven despite what the activists keep chanting.
Is this is a God's creation thing?
And what's wrong with this stance?
Sorry, my mistake, I said CREATION when I meant CONCEPTION. I've edited that post.

Not quite what I have said. Let me rephrase it: Do you think people are justified to expose trans teenagers to potentially abusive parents just because you see a risk in those teens being subject to gender-affirming care without parental consent?
That's a question I'm still thinking about. But since it IS such a thorny question, that seems like yet another reason to suspend GAC.
What I can say though is that I think a lot of premature, misdiagnosing happens. Many kids with GD grow out of it as they pass through puberty. So being too quick to label a kid "trans" seems like a big issue.
