Again, that is a wildly inaccurate reinterpretation of what she was actually talking about.

When criticizing what someone has said, please consider addressing their actual viewpoint, rather than some fantasy you've invented.

If you haven't already, please educate yourself with Joyce's rebuttals of these false claims: https://www.thehelenjoyce.com/a-wild-ride

No it's not, and no she isn't.

She's talking about reducing the number of transitions. As in, discouraging or limiting the medicinal and surgical interventions that people who are unhappy with their sex sometimes pursue.

She is not advocating for people to be exterminated or sterilised or anything like that. That is an absurd reinterpretation of what she actually said.

She is not a eugenics advocate. That is a truly nonsensical summary of her viewpoint.

It's a very good read. Helen Joyce's Trans and Kathleen Stock's Material Girls are also excellent critiques of this movement.

Several detransitioners have claimed that being prescribed cross-sex hormones took just one or two appointments. Any previous safeguarding of this process seems to have been greatly diminished in recent years.

Regarding surgery, there is a rather infamous 'gender-affirming' surgeon, Dr Sidhbh Gallagher, who specialises in double mastectomies for young women and children. The youngest so far is apparently only 13, and patients report not much gatekeeping for this procedure either, from her surgery. She's infamous mostly for TikTok videos where she exhorts Gen Z viewers to "yeet the teets", but also for some horror stories about poor follow-up care, with some patients nearly dying.

It may not have even been a conscious decision as such. Being constantly bombarded with messages of this is what a woman should be may well have this effect subconsciously.

Could be, though neither of these explain quite why it is girls in particular who are attempting to identify out of their sex, in a much larger ratio than boys.

Perhaps one root cause is that girls are uncomfortably sexualised much more than boys (as in, the 'male gaze'), and some try to escape this by adopting a belief that they're not girls / young women.
