Welcome to the Dollhouse BONUS with Sue and Leah from WomanUp Queensland with Kit Kowalski and Edie Wyatt.
Reddit is where a lot of Australians (including minors) share the details around their medical transition. Patients give reviews on their care-givers, praising them or admonishing the ‘gate keepers’ who delay medicalisation.
Check out Reddit Transgender AU - https://www.reddit.com/r/transgenderau/
A space for Australians of all ages (including minors) to exchange information

The Reddit Post
This particular Reddit post is purportedly by a 15 year old minor who underwent breast amputation.
The phone call
When Leah learned that a local plastic surgery was performing mastectomies on girls as young as 13, she knew she had to verify this for herself.

WomanUp noted the response to the protest, and 75% we supportive. More males than women asked for a leaflet.

The Brag
A shouty man verbally accosted Leah, a visibly pregnant woman, at the protest. Of course he’s repaired to Twitter to brag and belittle her.
This is the shouty man (sans wig and insty filters).
