No I can’t just pretend my daughter is a man to keep the peace. Nobody is asking her to pretend to detrans to keep the peace are they? Why just me?
One day this fad will be over, and she will know I was the only person who didn’t want her to hurt herself.
@Gaynotqueer1 ‘This is a five figure commitment’ to groom 10 kids into believing they have a magical identity that will require their castration when they’re 18.
The MOST irritating thing about this battle for sanity is dealing with people who say truly berserk things like, “Men can be lesbians” or “It’s our human right to use women’s spaces”.
It’s such an utter waste of time, energy & resources.
It’s like arguing with someone who believes giraffes are bloodthirsty carnivores. Nothing will change their stupid minds & yet you have to keep putting the truth out there, & STILL they stick to their ridiculous narrative.
You can’t “simply ignore them”…that’s exactly how Stonewall et al managed to twist the truth for so many youngsters. It HAS to be challenged. But, my god, what a tedious exercise it is.
It’s utterly boring, & exhausting, especially as most of these buffoons KNOW they’re talking crap…
And, yes, I know I’m stating the bleedin’ obvious…
@sasha90dl@AjaTheEmpress@PolitlcsUK@spectator The young person is groomed in their delusions until they are 18 and then they can consent to chemical castration with cross sex hormones.
This is a medical scandal of the same scale as lobotomies or thalidomide.
@StephanieN924 There’s nothing similar about a young girl running away from femininity and an old bloke having a midlife crisis. As a parent my heart goes out to young people who have been taken in by these lies that people can ‘change sex’. I’m sick of this shit.
@CloverSevenLeaf ‘Gender identity’ is based on lies and deception. No one can change sex. Society is done with these lies and the harm being done to young people under the guise of ‘bodily autonomy’.
Learn to love your natural body.
@AGallagherAlly Meanwhile you advocate telling children that they can be ‘born in the wrong body’ and encourage the use of wrong sexual pronouns.
No one can change sex.
Just let that sink in.
“Gender identity” is often presented as a deep, innate psychological essence that exists independently of biological sex. However, the evidence for such a claim is far less clear than is commonly assumed.
At its most basic level, what is called “gender identity” can be understood as an individual’s perception, understanding, or subjective relationship to their biological sex. Neurologically, researchers do not directly observe a “gender identity” module in the brain. Rather, they identify statistical correlations between certain brain regions, networks, or patterns of activity and individuals’ self-reported feelings, beliefs, and experiences. This is no different in principle from studying political identity, religious identity, national identity, athletic identity, or any other self-concept. The fact that a mental state correlates with brain activity does not establish that it is an innate, biologically distinct entity.
The statement that “gender identity is in the brain” therefore risks overstating what neuroscience can actually demonstrate. Every thought, belief, preference, and self-conception is represented in the brain in some form. Saying that gender identity has neural correlates tells us little more than the fact that people think about themselves in sex-related ways.
At most, biological, developmental, psychological, and social factors may influence whether an individual feels comfortable with, identifies with, or rejects aspects of their sexed body. These influences are worthy of study. However, it does not follow that “gender identity” should be treated as a separate category that supersedes biological sex in law, medicine, or public policy.
Biological sex has direct physical, reproductive, and physiological consequences that are relevant in areas such as healthcare, sport, privacy, data collection, and scientific research. Any policy framework that elevates subjective identity above these objective realities bears the burden of demonstrating why such a departure is justified. Simply asserting that gender identity is real or that it has neural correlates does not, by itself, establish that it should take precedence over biological sex in legal or institutional decision-making.
@LGBwiththeT In your selective history of ‘trans’ why not mention the biblical Eunuchs and the Skoptsy community from Russia, or doesn’t that fit your narrative. Castrations have been around for ages. It’s only recently that the lie extended to religious abuse and now secular self harm.
@JenniferB812 Stop talking rubbish.
‘Transgender youth’ = a fictitious group that didn’t exist 20 years ago. One kid in a million claimed a ‘gender identity disorder’ and usually grew up just fine.

@DannyWxo Gender identity ideology is the reason basic, hard won rights are being stripped from women and girls. This issue will only be definitively settled by society either accepting or repudiating the notion that men/boys become girls/women if they say they are.
@Alonso_GD Requiring others to use wrong sex pronouns is unreasonable.
Telling children they may be ‘born in the wrong body’ is unreasonable.
The whole premise of ‘trans’ is unreasonable.
It just doesn’t add up.
@micheal_olainn How is fighting for truth and reality hateful?
We need to speak truth to young people. Non-binary is nonsense. ‘Trans’ is a lie. No one can change sex. Learn to love yourself as you were born.
Pre-2000 most kids with GID grew out of it. Now they’re sucked into the cult.
@PompeySteph But you did survive those 50 years, and had the opportunity to procreate and father children.
Now you’re pushing for a narrative where many many more young people believe this lie about ‘born in the wrong body’ and become infertile due to wrong sex hormones.
I’m sick of this.
@datadriven_tdoc@AmericnDreaming You went after children, and now a multitude of young people believe they can change lie that they are ‘born in the wrong body’ which is impossible. We need to speak truth. No one can change sex. Learn to love your body not reject it.
