‘Doctor’ Advises Threatening Suicide To Get Trans Treatments For Kids - "Justice Gregory Bowden of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada ruled that a 14-year-old girl may begin receiving testosterone injections without parental consent. Bowden’s ruling, hailed as a “massive legal win” by the American LGBTQNation, ensured treatment would proceed without parental influence by declaring that if either of the girl’s parents refer to their daughter as a girl, they will be considered guilty of family violence under the Canadian Family Law Act... “[These injections] will completely disrupt her puberty,” he said. “Her bones will stop growing, her brain will stop developing… and she’s not gonna be a boy. She won’t even have the bone-strength left to be a girl anymore.”... Wong is heard proudly describing the scope of his children-only “gender therapy” practice, noting that his youngest client is not yet three years old and that he has 501 orphans and foster kids in his local practice... Wong also had some startling advice for a parent seeking to get a child referred to his program. Although the questioner had not indicated any particular urgency, Wong explained that parents should exaggerate the severity of their child’s condition to their local health offices.Wong said a suicide threat was an effective means of accomplishing this goal... Bowden’s legal argument still rests crucially on the opinion of experts at BC Children’s Hospital that testosterone injections are “not a neutral option” for Maxine, but a safe and certain means of curing the “ongoing and unnecessary suffering” of her “gender dysphoria.”Of course, such an opinion would be hotly contested among experts. Pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Quentin Van Meter of Atlanta, Georgia, told the court it was “sheer conjecture,” noting in an affidavit that while, in the short run, patients do experience “a post-treatment period of relative happiness,” available evidence indicates that for most people that happiness dissipates and is replaced, within a few years, with “life-long psychological trauma and increased suicide.”

Court Rules Parents Can't Stop 14-Year-Old From Taking Trans Hormones - "the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada ordered that a 14-year-old girl receive testosterone injections without parental consent. The court also declared that if either of her parents referred to her using female pronouns or addressed her by her birth name, they would be considered guilty of family violence.
So much for liberal claims that misgendering/using the wrong pronouns weren't/wouldn't become a crime, and that fears of children being taken away if parents didn't support their transgenderism were exaggerated and paranoid

Schools giving out pronoun stickers for transgender kids - "A selection of UK schools are handing out pronoun stickers and badges in a move to help transgender pupils feel more supported.In an effort to tackle ‘misgendering’ – the act of addressing a person using the wrong pronoun – in the classroom, Brighton and Hove City Council has this week launched a campaign across secondary schools and colleges... It follows the council’s announcement in December that school children will be taught that boys can have periods too in a bid to make teaching of menstruation inclusive of all genders.The council has said that wearing the badges and stickers in schools will be voluntary."

WALSH: A Male Miss Universe Contestant Is Being Applauded By The Same People Who Complain About Appropriation - ""Miss" Spain was the first transgender to compete in the pageant. He didn't finish in the top three, but he still managed to steal much of the spotlight from the authentic women on the stage. Not to mention, there is a real beauty queen somewhere in Spain who was excluded entirely because a man took her spot. If you're looking for appropriation to rail against, look no further. Of course, the Left is not interested in this kind of appropriation. They are too busy screaming at little white girls for dressing like Moana on Halloween. But unlike the girl in the Disney costume, a man in a women's beauty pageant, or a man in a women's restroom, or a man in a women's track meet, etc., is actually taking something from women. It is true appropriation because it involves deprivation. A woman in Spain was deprived of her chance to be Miss Universe because a man took her place. A girl on a track team is deprived of the gold medal because a man stole it. Women in restrooms and girls in locker rooms are deprived of privacy because men are allowed to intrude. This is how appropriation works."

Doctor fired from gender identity clinic says he feels ‘vindicated’ after CAMH apology, settlement - "A controversial Toronto psychologist said he feels “vindicated” and “liberated” after receiving an apology from the country’s largest mental-health centre for erroneously representing his behaviour and work in a public review three years ago.Kenneth Zucker headed up CAMH’s Family Gender Identity Clinic for more than 30 years before he was ousted in December, 2015... while his removal was celebrated by many activists in the transgender community, many of his colleagues were outraged – and more than 500 clinicians and researchers signed a petition in his defence.In Dr. Zucker’s view, it sparked a fear that the field of gender dysphoria – where he says there remains many urgent and unanswered clinical and theoretical questions – has been “poisoned by politics.”“I think that conflation with politics has made it very difficult for many people in the field to say what they really think,” he said. “And I think that’s really sad, that in a field where there are so many important issues to discuss and work on, that really bright people feel intimidated.”"

Liberal, Not Lefty - Posts - "If my first Twitter or Facebook suspension is going to come from calling out 2 pedophiles who faked gender transitions just to gain access to kids, fine by me.
(Edit: For those asking what the tweet relates to -- It was a tweet in a larger thread about a Brampton pedophile who identified as being a woman right before release from prison, and how suspect that transition was. And the tweet thread basically said that, while there are trans people who commit crimes that have nothing to do with their transgenderism and we shouldnt bring their gender into it, the pedo in question, as well as Jessica/Jonathan Yaniv, seem to have transitioned only for sexually exploitative (of children) means.
I used Jonathan and not Jessica, because they still themselves use Jonathan on some of their social media. So it's not like I misgendered someone. "

Liberal, Not Lefty - Posts - "I just got suspended from Twitter. Again. For explaining why I got suspended the first time. I did not include a screenshot of the initial tweet, I'm not stupid. I even put a star through Yaniv's name so they couldn't find the tweet through the search function...
And I just want to make it clear: I have received over a dozen messages from trans men and women thanking me for calling out JY. I'll post some if they give me consent. Trans people can not stand JY, they think she/he is a perverted creep (and ironically even though I use she with JY, all the trans women who messaged me refer to JY as he), and dont want JY anywhere near the trans community"

Calling Bruce Jenner a Woman Is an Insult to Women - "feminists regularly insist that the absence of a uterus and a vagina excludes men from having an opinion about things like abortion. So a man can’t have ideas about women’s issues because he lacks the correct anatomy, but he can actually be a woman despite lacking the correct anatomy?How does that make any kind of sense?... I’m told that white people appropriate black culture when they listen to Nikki Minaj or wear flat brimmed hats. I’m not sure that such offenses constitute cultural theft as much as they indicate possible brain damage, but that’s not the point. If we’re worried about groups appropriating from other groups, I think we need to investigate the practice of calling a man a woman because he grinds down his forehead, wears eyeliner, and pins back his genitals. If you look closely, you might find reason to consider this an appropriation of womanhood, or worse, a degradation of it... you can’t very well return to lauding the “natural beauty” of women after you just called Bruce “brave” for using digital and cosmetic enhancements to attain some shallow approximation of it. You can’t lambaste the modeling industry for trimming, slimming, snipping, cutting, painting, and operating on women for the sake of physical allure after you just got finished telling us that Bruce achieved his “true identity” through the same methods."

Ben Rimmer: Victim of transgender axe attacker breaks silence - "Mr Rimmer has released disturbing never-before-published photographs of him after the attack, and details of how his face is now held together with metal plates he can touch through his skin.He is doing so in an effort to get Amati’s sentence increased on appeal. She was sentenced to a minimum of four and a half years behind bars, after her lawyer argued her transgender operation caused her immense pain and contributed to her later trying to kill strangers... Ben Rimmer believes Amati, who news.com.au reported was an arrogant and lazy union staffer with a huge sense of entitlement when working as an organiser for the CPSU, will walk out of prison scot-free in mid-2021 and won’t be reformed.Ben, meanwhile, will spend the rest of his life with four titanium plates in his face, including an orbital plate which moves and which he can feel every time he touches it.This is the plate put in on the spot where if he hadn’t turned his face slightly just before the blow, Amati would have struck him a few millimetres closer to his brain removing his eye and striking him in the brain, killing him."

The Sexual Fantasies of People With Non-Binary Gender Identities - "Non-binary persons had the highest rates of fantasies about becoming someone else. For example, 22% fantasized about being a furry, 28% had fantasies about being an adult baby, and 65% had fantasies about trading bodies with someone else. By contrast, men and women were about half as likely to have fantasized about all of these things.
Related to this, non-binary persons were also the group that was most likely to change the way they see themselves in general in their sexual fantasies, such as by changing their body type, genital appearance, or personality."
