I really like this and would love to share it, but would it be possible for someone to do some copy edits? There are a number of small typos/grammer mistakes in this post. I think it's important that your work be taken seriously, and even one or two typos can really detract from that goal. I'm happy to help, please reach out if you want. Thank you for what you are doing here on this enlightening and courageous substack.
I hope your definition of adolescence includes young adults. There is so much focus on legal minors, but the psycho-social development of adolescence doesn't drop off at the end of the teen years.
Are you willing to work with groups like Our Duty? I participated in a rally they organized focused on opposing child transition and spoke openly as a radical feminist. (I am a leader of Feminists in Struggle), a lesbian, a Green and a socialist. There were right wing people/groups there too but the messaging was focused & good (pro lesbians/gays and pro gender nonconformity). I am also curious about what you think about Gays against Groomers (who was also at the rally). I support them on child transition but am concerned about some of their rhetoric which could harm lesbian and gay rights. Also, Scott/Kellie Nugent has done good work but has been swayed politically by GAG and by some of the groups and figures from the Right that have given her a platform and support. Also, some of your members may be interested in a gender critical group of Greens and former Greens that formed last year in the wake of a struggle in the Green Party in which the Georgia Green Party that was expelled for their gender critical views. It’s called the Green Alliance for Sex Based Rights of which I am a founding member. Anyway, i am glad this coalition has formed.
"We know that the only way to end this grave medical scandal is to form alliances, partnerships, and coalitions with those who might not agree on other things."
Yes - thank you for your work. This is the hard part. People must not let disagreement over those "other things" get in the way of getting the word out and uprooting the medical scandal.
I don’t understand the use of “we” throughout the document and then the statement “support MY work.” Is this really a coalition or a single individual posing as a coalition?

It's a brilliant and necessary intervention. Thanks to all making it happen.
Yet again, glad I am supporting you with my paid subscription. This is what I want to see and hear from advocates.
In the statement "We respect all LGBT people and our committed to upholding free speech." Do you mean "... and are committed..."?

Great question. Really a coalition. Substack controls what those say and Substack assumes individual authorship.
Thanks for the clarification!
