[True Teller @TrueTeller2024]

In June, 2024, I was working in the Neuro ICU, fighting to save the lives of several critically ill patients, especially an 18-year-old who had been severely injured in a motor vehicle accident. While at work, I received a text message from CVS informing me that a testosterone prescription had been filled. Ilene was still covered under my health insurance at the time, even though she had cut off all contact with me.

I completely broke down.

I went into the bathroom and cried, mourning my child who was still alive. Deep inside, I knew where this path could lead. I knew testosterone would not give Ilene what she longed for. I knew she would never become a boy, and that the body she would have would not be the one she imagined. I also feared that the community she believed would protect her would not be there when she needed it most.

A coworker, who had never seen me that devastated—not even after my husband died—comforted me and listened. She had no idea what I had been going through with my daughter, who was struggling not only with gender identity but with many other underlying issues.

Eventually, I wiped away my tears and returned to work.

That day, our team saved the life of that young patient.

We saved him.

But my daughter was far from being saved.

Just four months after starting testosterone, Ilene took her own life.

My daughter is not the only one.

Since I started my blog, several parents have reached out to me after losing their own adult children to suicide while those children were taking cross-sex hormones. Just a few months ago, a father contacted me to tell me that his adult child died by suicide in a college dorm room only four months after starting hormones.

Just like Ilene.

My blog has also connected me with a wonderful Ukrainian family whose lives have become a nightmare over the past two years. Around the same time Ilene was prescribed testosterone, their daughter was removed from their home by Child Protective Services because they would not affirm her claimed male identity.

For two years, they have fought to bring their daughter home. This month, after losing their parental rights, they also lost the right to make medical decisions for their still-minor child.

Watching what has happened to this family has brought me back to my own experience. The state once labeled me as the unsafe parent because I would not affirm my daughter’s transgender identity. That decision drove an even deeper wedge between Ilene and me.

I was considered “unsafe.”

Yet my daughter spent her final months in what was presented as a “safe” and affirming environment. She received affirmation, testosterone, and had unrestricted access to pursue a double mastectomy. Despite all of that, four months after starting testosterone, she took her own life.

Now I watch another family endure a similar nightmare. Their daughter has been taken from parents the state deemed “unsafe” and placed in what is described as a “safe” environment, where, according to her parents, she is being heavily medicated while they have been stripped of the ability to protect or advocate for her.

I cannot reconcile these experiences. If separating children from loving parents and placing them into affirming environments with medical interventions is supposed to keep them safe, why have I witnessed so much suffering? Why did my daughter die? Why is another family now living through the same fear of losing their child?

To my dear Ukrainian friends: my heart is with you. I know the pain of watching your child slip beyond your reach while feeling powerless to protect them. I am praying for your family and sincerely hope that one day you will be reunited with your daughter.

“Undoing almost 10 years of work & just rolling over to just give in to this person, it didn’t seem worth it… The clientele base I have, I value them… The impact on those clients if I change my business model, I have to think of them…”

Men who claim to be women think it’s all about them but it isn’t. It’s about women who want women only spaces. The moment a man is in one, it ceases to be a woman only space. They can go literally anywhere else, just not a space that is women only. When a man is in a woman only space, it leaves women with no where else to go.

[Dr. Dr. P: "I said what I said". @Psychgirl211]

These are three doctors of psychology behind the body-warping, mind-bending, 'My Gender Dolls'.

Not one of these women is fit to practice.

These women have pathologised and monetised the entirely normal process of:

1. Individuation (psychological separation from the parent);
2. Learning about one's own physical body.
3. Developing an awareness that mum and dad are physically different from one another.
4. Becoming aware that one is either female (like mum), or male (like dad).

Every human child that ever lived has gone through this process.

It's a direct consequence of neurobiological maturation and developing psychosexual awareness.

It's called growing up.

And these women know it.

They are dangerous grifters who've seen a way to make a quick buck.

And they're doing so by rummaging around in children's heads and literally manufacturing disordered thinking in perfectly normal children.

They are disgusting and dangerous.

The 'My Gender Dolls' are disgusting and dangerous.

This is the deliberate warping and corruption of childhood innocence.

As a DClinPsych (and mother), what these women have done here sickens and enrages me.

More than 25 years ago, one court case changed the conversation around antidepressant safety forever.

In February 1998, 60-year-old Donald Schell was prescribed Paxil (paroxetine) for anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Just two days later, he shot and killed his wife, Rita, his daughter, Deborah, and his nine-month-old granddaughter, Alyssa, before taking his own life.

Family and friends described Donald as a devoted husband, father and grandfather. The violence was completely out of character.

Refusing to accept that there were no answers, Deborah's husband, Tim Tobin, brought a lawsuit against the manufacturer, SmithKline Beecham (now GSK). The case, Tobin v. SmithKline Beecham, became one of the most significant legal cases involving an antidepressant.

After hearing expert evidence, the Wyoming jury concluded that Paxil was a substantial contributing factor in the tragedy because the company had failed to provide adequate warnings about the risk of suicidal and violent behaviour in some individuals. The jury found the manufacturer responsible (80/20 under Wyoming's comparative fault laws). The verdict was later upheld.

During the proceedings, Glaxo's representative, Dr Ian Hudson, argued that the occasional suicide or killing by someone taking Paxil was not sufficient evidence that there was a problem with the drug, given the millions of people who had taken it. Dr Hudson later went on to hold senior positions within the UK's medicines regulator, the MHRA, including serving as its Chief Executive from 2013 to 2019.

Tim Tobin profoundly disagreed.

"Virtually all drugs can cause a bad reaction of some sort in a few people. However small the effect is, there is no excuse for not investigating what is happening. I don't think they've taken a proper look at the whole thing. We're talking about people's lives. Whether we are statistically significant or not, four people dead is too many as far as I'm concerned."

Those words remain just as powerful today.

More than two decades later, families around the world continue to ask whether sudden, drastic changes in behaviour could have been linked to prescribed medications.

Patients still report severe adverse reactions, including akathisia….an intense state of inner restlessness that can be be associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviour…..and many say they were never warned about the possibility.

The names have changed. The medications may differ. But the questions remain the same.

The legacy of Tim Tobin's fight is not about creating fear of medication. It is about recognising that prescribed medicines can, in some cases, cause serious adverse effects, and that every patient deserves honest information, informed consent and prompt recognition when something isn't right.

A lot of older physicians reaching out to me in a kind way. They are apologetic for the ways of the past. See how they have contributed to overprescribing. They are glad that @_innercompass is supporting project like this that wouldn't get attention.

"We don’t even list those risks! Even if we list them, it does not mean we actually said them, let alone emphasized them."

"I agree with the conclusion of the study and I must admit that I am one of those guilty of not having fully informed patients about the possible side effects of SSRIs."

We should use this report to think about what informed consent of SSRIs could mean.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I’ve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl

For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: ‘woman isn’t a costume.’ If it surprises you that I say men don’t become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didn’t understand the essay. I’ve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if that’s what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as ‘and it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a man’s belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.’

Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you don’t get is the power to compel my speech and belief.

When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that they’ve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I don’t doubt we’ll hear a lot of, ‘I thought I was just being kind.’ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former ‘allies’, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all women’s rights.

Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people who’ve defended women’s and girls’ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat ‘both sides’ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.

TL;DR Trans women aren’t women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’

@Ash_Lee_IRL You don't suffer misogyny, because you aren't a woman.
Women aren't 'reduced' by belonging to the sex class that produces large gametes, except in the eyes of misogynists.
We have a lot in common as two human beings.
What we don't have in common is being female.

I have had a few people confirm what is in pharmaceutical guides - that holding an antidepressant in the mouth causes numbing of the tongue and mucosa. Along with evidence that they cause some genital numbing and emotional numbing (see latest systematic review below) I think the quest to find how antidepressants work is over.

@markhoro My advice is, if you are in trouble as a young person, the best advice is do talk to a cop, I work with many who care deeply and are dedicated to helping young people in trouble.
Don't listen to TB, seek help, cops do care !!

No, it was because he alluded to Anne Widdecombe being a murder victim, before it was established she was a murder victim. I would imagine that since getting their hands on his “electronic devices,” his social media posts are the least of his worries.

[Stephen’s Voice - Suicide Prevention @VoiceStephen]

The long-awaited trial of Lindsey Clancy is now underway, bringing renewed attention to one of the most heartbreaking and complex cases in recent years.

Lindsey, a labour and delivery nurse and mother of three, had no criminal history and was widely described by family and colleagues as a conscientious professional and a loving, devoted mother.

Prior to the birth of her third child, there is no public record of her receiving psychiatric treatment or taking psychiatric medication.

Following the birth of her youngest child, Lindsey was diagnosed with postpartum depression and entered psychiatric care. According to legal filings, she was prescribed numerous psychiatric medications over a period of just a few months.

Her family has since alleged that she was prescribed around 13 different psychotropic medications in approximately four months, raising serious questions about psychiatric polypharmacy and patient safety.

In January 2023, an unimaginable tragedy unfolded. Lindsey killed her three young children before attempting to take her own life by jumping from a second-floor window. She survived but was left paralysed from the waist down.

Her defence argues that Lindsey's mental state had become profoundly altered in the months leading up to the tragedy, with reports that she experienced disturbing thoughts and auditory hallucinations. Prosecutors, however, maintain that she was criminally responsible for her actions. It is now for the court to carefully examine all of the evidence.

Since the incident, Lindsey has remained paralysed and, according to her legal team, has described feeling emotionally numb and has expressed a wish to die.

Her parents have consistently described her as a loving and devoted mother who adored her children. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, has spoken publicly of the unimaginable loss suffered by the family while also pursuing legal action against healthcare providers involved in Lindsey's psychiatric treatment.

As this trial unfolds, families around the world who have experienced medication-induced harm will be watching closely.

This case is not simply about postpartum mental illness. It is also about whether sufficient attention was paid to the potential risks associated with multiple psychiatric medications prescribed over a short period of time. It raises important questions about informed consent, adverse drug reactions, akathisia, medication-induced behavioural changes and the safety of psychiatric polypharmacy.

No verdict can ever undo the devastation suffered by this family. Three precious children have lost their lives, and countless lives have been changed forever.

Whatever the outcome…….it is vital that every aspect of Lindsey's treatment is examined with honesty, transparency and scientific rigour. If prescribed medications contributed in any way to this tragedy, those lessons must not be ignored.
