The attacks on a body image book speak to the heightened state of anti-LGBTQ+ hate and the unique cultural position that the American Girl brand holds. #MsReads via @19thnews 19thnews.org/2022/12/americ…
@MsMagazine @19thnews There is a big difference between LGB interests and those promoted by TQ+ groups. Please stop mixing them up.
@MsMagazine @19thnews This book promotes puberty blockers to girls who feel uncomfortable in their bodies. That is unconscionable.
@MsMagazine @19thnews "[T]he company has unleashed a wave of criticism from conservative critics." People who still write things like this know perfectly well that there is feminist opposition to gender id. You ignore us, our concerns, questions, and arguments, to knowingly promote a false narrative.
@MsMagazine @19thnews this is WHY I won't subscribe to your magazine. " not a single long-term study to demonstrate the safety or efficacy of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones & surgeries for transgender-believing youth/ medical intervention fails to reduce suicide."acpeds.org/transgender-in…
@MsMagazine @19thnews "evidence that after a year on [puberty blockers] children reported greater self-harm & girls experienced more behavioral & emotional problems & expressed greater dissatisfaction with their body—so puberty blockers exacerbated gender dysphoria.” acpeds.org/assets/for-GID…
@MsMagazine @19thnews Since when has it been “right wing” to oppose child abuse and to stick up for science and reality?
@MsMagazine @19thnews Why is it wrong to want kids to work to accept their bodies as they are?
@MsMagazine @19thnews Please tell me Ms. Magazine hasn't been co-opted by MEN like @womensmarch @NationalNOW and other WOMEN'S organizations! My mother would roll over in her grave! #SexNotGender
@MsMagazine @19thnews When exactly did Ellie, Kathy, and Gloria start pretending to be on board with males cosplaying as women? Legalizing self ID will offer predators and opportunists legal cover— so much for title nine.
@MsMagazine @19thnews Any “body image book” aimed at kids which tries to normalise having healthy body parts surgically removed & taking unnecessary & life changing hormones deserves to be criticised. That’s not a “right wing position”. That’s a pro-positive body image position. #LetKidsBeKids
