@prskyperson @LizaRosen0000 5% with integration is diversity. 25% without assimilating the host culture is something else. You can form governments in some counties with 25% of the vote.

@sianberry @SussexUni For god’s sake. There’s only doubling down from people like you.

I watched the Brianna Ghey documentary last night - this case is the worst of two online worlds coming together and ending in tragedy. On both sides there are multiple safeguarding failures that led on an incredibly vulnerable victim and two highly disturbed and violent teens.

Ghey was absolutely a bullied gay boy who was groomed online into a trans identity. A boy with multiple mental health issues in contact with abusive adults online. His highly sexualised behaviour should have been a huge red flag for his school. He absolutely did not deserve what happened to him, may he rest in peace.

The attack itself was also an un-precedented level of brutality for teens to be involved in. Again, teens shaped by adult levels of violence. 15 year olds with access to torture videos on the dark web.

Thousands of teens will still be succumbing to both of these online and very adult-shaped threats every day. There should be the same outrage about this as there was about Adolescence. This is not as simple as ‘hate crime’ - it is a deeply complex case involving huge failures of adults to protect vulnerable young people.

Ghey’s mum says it was ‘only a matter of time’ before something happened to him because of who he was mixing with online - highly risky behaviour with large group chats of men. This is a huge threat for other very vulnerable gay boys. This case should be as much of a warning of this as it should be about access to highly sexual and violent material online.

We are failing children.

Brilliant review of THAT scene in White Lotus by @LisaSelinDavis in @unherd that gives a very accurate description of autogynephilia, the condition most trans-identifying men apparently seem to have - but we're not allowed to discuss it.

@TheSidJoShow Give him time. He’s also gay. I’m sure it’s coming.

This season made me think that I’m at that age that if a young man was interested in me I’d have to assume that it’s because of my (husband’s) money

@Bennjamyn @lumoncoldharbor Erm, I’m pretty sure a kiss would be enough to mess with your head for the rest of your life.

@lumoncoldharbor Don’t forget the best part, autogynephilia.

@flatclem @BravoTrollz It was so quick and so perfect

[Lottie Lewis @LottieHistory]

The depiction of transsexual and AGP in #TheWhiteLotus #WhiteLotus Season 3 is brilliant. A middle aged man turned on by the thought of being a woman, getting penetrated by himself. It's a truly creepy and mesmerising scene, something mainstream TV hasn't dared to do in years.

[Liberal Mum @MumLiberal]

White Lotus dropped the TERFiest scene in the history of television and it’s an instant meme. #Autogynephilia

Child development theory and gender identity ideology: 2.0

Kohlberg: sex-role development

Lawrence Kohlberg is sometimes trotted out by transactivists to 'prove' that when children achieve 'gender constancy', they understand they have a fixed 'gender identity', and thus know they are 'trans'.

In this post, we will explore how this is a wilful misinterpretation of Kohlberg's theories. Also that transactivists have once again conflated the term gender (identity) to mean sex-role or biological sex. (In this post, I use the term sex-role as it more clearly explains Kohlberg’s theory).

Kohlberg’s theory hinges on the idea that children are active participants in constructing their understanding of sex-roles and social/gender constructs, driven by their need to categorise and make sense of the world. He outlined three main stages of sex-role development:

Sex-role labelling (around 2–3 years old)
At this stage, children can label themselves and others as "boy" or "girl" based on physical cues (e.g., clothing, hair). However, their understanding is basic and unstable. They don’t yet grasp that their biological sex is permanent. For example, a 3-year-old might think a boy could become a girl by wearing a dress. This reflects their limited cognitive ability to understand constancy.

Sex-role Stability (around 4–5 years old)
Here, children recognise that their biological sex remains consistent over time. They understand that a boy stays a boy as he grows up, and a girl stays a girl. However, they might still confuse sex-roles with situational changes (e.g., thinking a boy who plays with dolls might "become" a girl). Stability depends on their developing sense of time and continuity, but it’s not fully concrete yet.

Sex-role Constancy (around 6–7 years old)
By this point, children fully comprehend that biological sex is fixed and unchanging, regardless of appearance or behaviour. This is akin to Piaget’s concept of conservation in cognitive development—once achieved, children realise that a boy remains male even if he wears a skirt or plays with dolls. Kohlberg saw this as a cognitive milestone, tied to the shift from preoperational to concrete operational thinking in Piaget’s framework.

Kohlberg argued that once children reach sex-role constancy, they become motivated to align their behaviour with societal roles associated with their biological sex. They actively seek out and value behaviours, roles, or traits associated with social (gender) constructs (e.g., "I’m a boy, so I should act tough"). This self-socialisation drives conformity to gender and social norms, as children strive for consistency between their identity and actions.

Key Points of Kohlberg’s Theory

Cognitive Basis: sex-role understanding depends on intellectual development, not just social input. Children need to mature cognitively to grasp biological sex as a stable trait.

Stage Progression: The three stages build sequentially, and children can’t skip ahead without the necessary cognitive tools.

Active Role: Children aren’t passive recipients of social/gender norms (as in social learning theory); they actively organize their world into "male" and "female" categories. They are active learners participating in their own development.

As you can see from the above, there is no part of Kohlberg's theories that support the idea of children being 'trans' or having a fixed, inherent gender identity'. Rather, a child's understanding of sex/gender roles & identity changes as they grow older.

Transactivists also use the term 'gender constancy' to 'prove' that children have a settled understanding of their fixed 'gender identity'. But this fabrication misses Kohlberg's point that "constancy" refers to a child's settled understanding of their biological sex as they realise that it is fixed and unchangeable. Kohlberg never used the term 'gender identity' in the way that transactivists claim.

More on Kohlberg. (See how they woked it up!)

I’m rewatching “Sleepless in Seattle” thinking what a wholesome era that was. Then comes Rosie O’Donnell saying the guy could be a crack head…
