Determining C&I may also be an iterative process

Indicators need to be monitored, says Budi S Wardhana of @BRG_Indonesia.

There are still challenges along the way:

✔️Cost
✔️Time
✔️Ease of use
✔️Reliability
✔️Efficacy for adjustment/corrective action

⚠️ 4️⃣ Things That Could Go Wrong

🔸Over-reliance on single indicators
🔸 Reporting indicators w/o contextual data
🔸 Accurate indicators but nobody can measure
🔸 Monitoring w/o benefits for local communities

“What we measure matters,”

Well it's funny but not funny really is it @sally_hines? To any adult who does not question why there has been a 4400% rise in UK girls wishing to become boys via puberty blockers, CSH & surgery over the last decade, we ask you to pause, do some research and think.


On a scale of 1 to 10 how funny is it for children to start a lifetime of medication? How funny is it that other comorbidities such as autism, anxiety, depression are not thoroughly explored? How funny is it that girls as young as 12 in US & 18 in UK have healthy breasts removed?

How much does it make you laugh to imagine a child agreeing with her clinician that she never ever wants to have children? And how funny is it that she knows now, as a child, that she is the opposite sex, because peer pressure & social media tell her so?

How hilarious it is that lesbians have no social places of their own - either as young people or adults? That they are not welcome in LGBTQ+ clubs unless they agree that TWAW & thereby can be lesbians. That they are told they are transphobic if they do not agree.

Will you be splitting your sides when legislation like the "Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Bill 2020" in Victoria, Australia is passed? (Be aware that similar Bills are being discussed around the world).
