@autisticmumifl @suzanne_moore There's no such thing as trans. Males may like to be feminine. That doesn't mean they are born in the wrong body. Women are female ppl NOT feminine ppl. Trans ppl misunderstand & think that cultural definitions of feminine/masculine determines if their bio body is right or wrong

[Mia Hughes @_CryMiaRiver]

The UK’s puberty blocker trial is a textbook example of what Dr. Harriet Hall called Tooth Fairy Science: research conducted on a phenomenon without ever questioning whether the phenomenon exists.

Hall explained that researchers could collect data that are reproducible and statistically significant on how much money the Tooth Fairy leaves, which coins she prefers, whether she pays more for molars, or when the child leaves a note — but without asking whether the Tooth Fairy exists, the entire endeavour is meaningless.

Over the next three years and beyond, the NHS will medicalise “trans kids” and meticulously gather data on bone density, the psychological effects of puberty suppression, and body-image satisfaction.

But all the results will be meaningless because they’re studying something that doesn’t exist.

Ethical research would begin at the same place, with the young person’s adoption of a transgender identity and the diagnosis of “gender incongruence,” but it would travel in the opposite direction.

Instead of accepting a culturally-influenced identity as a condition in need of medical treatment, meaningful research would investigate what ordinary developmental struggles are being misread by so many young people growing up in this era saturated with the messaging of trans activism.

It would investigate which cultural messages are disrupting identity formation and distorting the adolescent’s sense of self, driving the widespread adoption of this fashionable identity.

Studying "trans kids" and "children with gender incongruence" is as pointless as studying the Tooth Fairy.

[Prof. Gary Francione @garylfrancione]

TRAs claim that they just seek the freedom to decide who they are. But they claim an identity that entails the abolition of women as a sex class and gives males license to abrogate/appropriate women's rights. That's freedom of one group purchased with the oppression of another.

I was a co-author on the critique of the Nature Human Behaviour study on suicidality and "anti-trans" laws. This Substack discusses the study in the context of the ongoing misuse of suicide statistics by transgender activists. Link in next post. ⬇️

Another Major Transgender Suicide Study Crumbles

A widely cited study published in the prestigious @NatureHumBehav claimed that “anti-transgender laws” encouraged teen suicide attempts.

A new methodological review dismantles that finding.

The psychological abuse part of the trans rights movement, in my view, is this pattern:

Women say: “Male people have harmed us, we need boundaries.”

Then they are told: “Your boundary is hateful.”

Women say: “We need words for our sexed reality.”

Then they are told: “Your words are exclusionary.”

Women say: “We need privacy from male bodies.”

Then they are told: “Your discomfort is bigotry.”

That is a coercive loop. It takes women’s protective instincts and reframes them as moral defects. It turns self-defense into sin. Lovely little ideological trap.

Making women into demons the second men don’t like our boundaries is psychological abuse and DARVO.

[Wesley Yang @wesyang]

Trans people are not a historically oppressed group because they are not a group and they have never been oppressed. There is no history of discriminatory state action against them. There are no rights they don't have. Their only grievance is the existence of sex segregated facilities designed for the safety and privacy of women. What the transgender movement calls "rights" are imperious demands to allow anyone who claims to be something they are not to violate sex-based boundaries and coerce others to affirm them as they thing they are not, inherently an assault on the civil rights and liberties of others that masquerades as a civil right belonging to themselves and as a psychic necessity they require for their survival, which in turn serves as a pretext for threatening suicide and committing violence in pursuit of that alleged imperative to survival.

They are a psychiatric diagnosis that was inflated into an astroturfed identity category in the last thirty years by a small cabal of wealthy male sex fetishists who wanted to cross-dress full time and conspired to brainwash a subpopulation of autistic and gender nonconforming children into medically harming themselves with drugs that stopped their maturation, creating an army of hostages that could be used to blackmail the state into coercing the whole world into granting their imperious demands. Along the way, this cabal corrupted medicine and science and law, turning each of these institutions into a font of misinformation in the service of trans activists goals. Literally nothing that issues from these discourses is true, from denials that men have athletic advantages over women to claims that blocking the puberty of children has ever had an evidence base.

Treating any of this like it is real, like it is a civil rights movement, inexorably will result in the infliction of a cascade of absurdities and cruelties on actual vulnerable populations -- woman and children -- above all those confused children who are being brainwashed from the earliest age the falsehood that any of them can change sex.

lIf you do anything today, watch @MaeveHalligan at the Cambridge Union. I genuinely think this was the first time many people in that room were confronted with the hard reality of the trans debate, rather than the slogans that usually surround it.

@BuckAngel was exceptional: calm, articulate, humane. Ultimate respect.

And then there was Helen Webberley. I remember once thinking the criticism directed at her by GC women was excessive, especially the claim she was ‘pure evil’. After hearing her speak, I no longer think that. She is totally insincere. I can deal with hard ideologues- they believe they are telling the truth; they are genuine, @HelenWebberley is different.

One audience member, a trans-identified male and former patient of hers, stood to speak during points of information. His account of how he had been treated was deeply disturbing.

Watch the full debate. It is worth your time.

[Aոﭐ†a🇺🇸 @AFkokogems]

Zack Polanski insisting that "a woman can have a penis” while accusing Piers Morgan of "punching down on trans people" for stating basic biology is actually Polanski himself punching down on women.

Men claiming the right to wear womanhood like a costume, then forcing their way into female single-sex spaces, sports, shelters, and prisons is “punching down”. It’s men saying that the mere existence of women is theirs to take and own. Once a man declares himself a woman, nothing is off-limits.

This isn't inclusion. It's the systematic erasure of female biology, safety, and rights all to indulge a tiny minority of men who demand the rest of society play along with their fantasy.

Women are adult human females. Full stop. Redefining us out of existence isn't progressive!! It's regressive, sexist, and profoundly misogynistic.

Bookmark this. For years it's been next to impossible to get data on what any person knows as a matter of common sense: that 'trans healthcare' is anything but. This study is going to be hard for normies to ignore.

Dr. Dionne Joseph on GB News, reacting to a massive Finnish register study that tracked gender-referred young people for over two decades. The study examined 𝟐,𝟎𝟖𝟑 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬 under 23 matched against 𝟏𝟔,𝟔𝟒𝟑 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬 between 1996 and 2019 (𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢, Ruuska et al.). The results are devastating.

Before referral, 𝟒𝟓.𝟕% of gender-referred youth had psychiatric morbidity. After gender-affirming interventions — the surgeries, the hormones, the puberty blockers — that number didn’t improve. It got 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞: 𝟔𝟏.𝟕% had psychiatric morbidity two or more years after referral, compared to 𝟏𝟒.𝟔% in the control group.

Dr. Joseph was unsparing: “𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥, 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦”.

She went further. The medical establishment “𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘰𝘣𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥”. She compared it to John Money’s infamous case with the Reimer twins, where the researcher “𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦’𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵” with his subjects rather than publish the catastrophic outcomes. “𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘰-𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦”.

On the suicide argument — the weapon used to bully parents into consent — she was definitive: “𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 101 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺.

She said therapists telling children they’ll k∗ll themselves without transition are “𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘭. 𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.

Finland’s health authority has already changed course — breaking from WPATH to make 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 instead of hormones and surgery. The evidence forced their hand. Meanwhile, American hospitals are still performing these procedures on minors and calling it “compassionate care.”

#BreakingNews: Many Tran and LGBTQ members agree with Nicki Minaj that transitioning and transgenderism should not be pushed onto children. So many people have detransitioned after realizing they made a mistake and the media will not highlight this because it does not align with their 1 gender Jeffrey Epstein agenda.

Michael "Lauren" Jeska Jeska terrorized the women's fell running scene in the UK for years, taking 3 consecutive English Fell running championship titles along with a Welsh (WFRA) title.

When officials questioned Jeska's eligibility, declaring his results void as he failed to comply with the rules, he took two knives to the UK Athletics office and proceeded to stab Ralph Knibbs, head of human resources, in the head and neck in an attack eyewitnesses describe "as though [he] were trying to skewer meat."

He also injured the two men who tried to intervene. Knibbs suffered a stroke in the attack and was subsequently disabled.

Jeska continues to serve his sentence for attempted murder. He still holds women's parkrun records and is being held in a women's prison.

I used to be trans. I hate talking about it, but I feel obligated to because people think gender identity is real.

I decided not to transition. That doesn’t mean I explored my gender identity and figured it out, or that I was never trans—it means I was brainwashed by a social contagion and thankfully still had some sanity left before I took testosterone and harmed my body.

Here’s what you need to know. 🧵
