πŸ–•π•»π–šπ–‹π–™πŸ–• on Twitter - "I don't use people's preferred pronouns for the same reason I don't talk to schizophrenic people's imaginary friends. Patronizing the mentally ill doesn't help"
"They/them: lol how does it even affect you in any way? mind ya business, boomers
Also they/them: use my pronouns and don’t deadname me and don’t let me catch you slipping up or I’ll ruin your career and your life!"

Meme - "HRT Since April 28
Recently got a wand vibrator, don't quite understand what all the fuss is about
Bought a mains-powered one from online, and I was expecting it to be The Best Orgasm Ever^TM, but it was just kinda... ehh? I'm non-op and one-year HRT, and honestly the wand was hardly better than normal masturbation. Is there anything I should try differently? Any specific way of using it that I'm missing?"
It's almost as if they only work for women

Derek Hunter on Twitter - "Boston Children's Hospital director calls for drastic increase in capacity for gender surgeries for minors"
"I'm old enough to remember a couple of months ago when these evil perverts insisted this wasn't happening at all at Boston Children's Hospital."

Alpha News on Twitter - "MN Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan on sex changes for minors: "When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them. That's what it means to be a good parent."

"Bodily mutilation of a child is a pretty serious thing. Teens having hysterectomies and induced menopause to treat a psychological condition repositioned as an "identity" is something to get bloody fucking angry about."
Liberals cheer genital mutilation of children when it accords with gender ideology

Starbucks sack trans worker who berated female customer in 'confrontation over being misgendered' - "A transgender woman has been sacked by Starbucks after footage showed her berating a female customer and allegedly assaulting a man who filmed the incident... The transgender employee then claps in the woman's face and denies her request for a refund, adding: 'You are transphobic, now get out.'  Repeatedly, the woman is told to 'get out' and that she is 'trespassing', before the employee appears to notice a man using his smartphone filming the encounter.  Without warning, the employee comes forward and lunges for the phone, demanding the man hand it over while appearing to assault him... Australian women's activist Sall Grover shared the clip on Twitter, and wrote: 'When women see men who think they’re women in female spaces, they often get themselves out as quickly as possible." '[They] say nothing because we all know how men react when we say something they don’t like.'"

Human puppy man Tom Peters shocks viewers on This Morning dressed as dog - "Tom Peters appeared on This Morning to discuss his rather unusual hobby.  Tom is a man who enjoys dressing up as and being treated like a puppy.  As his ‘alter ego’ Spot, Tom walks on all fours, sleeps in a cage and eats dog biscuits out of a bowl.  He and others who also like ‘becoming’ puppies are the subject of a Channel 4 documentary, called The Secret Life Of Human Pups... Of Spot Tom added: ‘It became an alter ego. You pretend and dress up as a child – why can’t you do it as an adult?’ His ex-fiance Rachel admitted that Spot caused them to split up, but she said they are now closer than ever.  Rachael Watson said: ‘I wish he had other hobbies, possibly something a bit more down to earth. But he is how he is. When he’s Spot he becomes confident, but when he’s Tom he won’t go to a bar and ask for a drink.  ‘I’m proud of him for being true to himself. I miss him but we’re a lot closer and better.’"

MP Joanna Cherry threatens legal action over cancelled show - "SNP MP Joanna Cherry is threatening to take legal action against an Edinburgh venue which cancelled a Fringe show in which she was due to appear... The venue had cancelled the show after staff said they were not comfortable with her views on transgender issues... she felt she had been "cancelled and no-platformed" because she was a lesbian who holds gender-critical views... Ms Cherry said the decision to cancel her show was symptomatic of a wider problem in society.  "I am very concerned that those who hold perfectly legitimate views on a variety of issues, including women like me, are regularly being misrepresented, de-platformed and, in some cases, facing damage to or the loss of our livelihoods," she added.  "This is often accompanied by online abuse and threats.  "The debate on gender self-identification is a very important one which must be allowed to take place, but I am a woman of many parts who was engaged to talk about my political life in general and I see the cancelling of my one-hour event as the thin end of the wedge."... the venue said that a number of its key operational staff - including venue management and box office personnel - were unwilling to work on the event.  The statement said: "We will ensure that their views are respected.  "We will not compel our staff to work on this event and so have concluded that the event is unable to proceed on a properly staffed, safe and legally-compliant basis... The Scottish Events Campus in Glasgow was ordered to pay almost £100,000 in damages to a controversial evangelical US preacher after axing his event in 2020.  Franklin Graham's appearance at the Hydro was scrapped following pressure from Glasgow City Council, Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie and campaigners over his views on issues such as homosexuality, Islam and Donald Trump.  Venue staff had claimed the move was due to security and protest concerns but a sheriff ruled that Mr Graham had been discriminated against and that the SEC had breached the Equality Act by not letting him perform.  In his ruling, Sheriff John McCormick said: "The pursuer's right to engage a speaker at the evangelical event - in furtherance of a religious or philosophical belief - is protected by law"."
Of course this isn't liberal fragility. Only "white fragility" exists

'Trans kids' prescribed MORE anti-psychotic meds after beginning gender transition than before: study - "A 2021 study of military youth has revealed that not only were minors with severe mental illness allowed to embark upon experimental medical sex changes, but also that prescriptions for anti-psychotic drugs actually increased after hormonal interventions were initiated... The study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, examined the Department of Defense (DoD) medical records of 3,754 trans-identified adolescents and 6,603 siblings who did not identify as transgender. The findings reveal no improvement in mental health after commencing hormone interventions and an increase in prescriptions for psychotropic medication...   Klein was also the co-author of a paper that suggested children as young as 7 were capable of consenting to medical sex changes. The paper called the cautious psychotherapeutic approach of “watchful waiting” for children who suffer from gender dysphoria “conversion therapy.”...   Criticising recent laws seeking to prohibit doctors from performing experimental sex changes on children, Klein and his team argue that children and parents are capable of consenting to these procedures...   As of 2021, 8.5 percent of American children under 18, or 1 in 12, were taking psychiatric drugs."
The cope will be that this is because of "transphobia"

Mental Healthcare Utilization of Transgender Youth Before and After Affirming Treatment - "Among 963 TGD youth (Mage: 18.2) using gender-affirming pharmaceuticals, mental healthcare did not significantly change (IRR = 1.09, 95% CI [0.95-1.25]) and psychotropic medications increased (IRR = 1.67, 95% CI [1.46-1.91]) following gender-affirming pharmaceutical initiation; older age was associated with decreased care and prescriptions"
Weird. We are told that "life saving" treatment needs to be started as early as possible

Oxfam tells staff: Stop saying mother and father - "Terms it encourages staff to use include “is affected by” when describing people with a health problem and a “person with short stature” in place of dwarf. Using the term “is affected by”, the guide says, avoids defining people by their health issue and thus avoids negative connotations. It should be used in place of “is afflicted with, suffers from, is a victim of”. Maya Forstater, 49, a women’s rights campaigner who was sacked for saying people cannot change their biological sex, mocked the guide on Twitter. Posting screenshots of it, she said that the word mother was not meant to be inclusive: “It describes a specific thing. That’s what words are for.”"

Meme - "Here's what REAL "gender affirmation" looks like"
"Mommy, I think I'm a boy."
"WELL, YOU'RE NOT."

Man exposes himself to children in ‘LGBTQIA2S+’ performance at Quebec museum - "A grown man exposed his penis to children while denouncing “white privilege” in a performance on the opening night of the taxpayer-funded Quebec City Museum of Civilization’s “Love me gender” exhibit.  The museum is defending the act as a “contemporary art performance” aimed at representing “artistic diversity.”...   An undercover video from the exhibit’s opening night by Rebel News shows a shocking performance in which a man in a plexiglass case exposed his penis to children while discussing transgender people and denouncing white privilege.  “White skin, white skin, emaculated, white skin, privileged. Are you afraid to think about it?… Because a black trans woman proceeded my route, I can emancipate myself tonight at the museum,” said the naked performer wrapped in saran wrap and tape, before two other individuals unwrapped him and cut off his underwear. The man then put on a women’s dress. In the video, kids are seen reacting uncomfortably to the nudist act... Phrases seen in the exhibit include “queer power,” “they/them/theirs,” “it’s a beautiful day to smash the patriarchy,”  “sex work is work,” “men need abortions too” and “respect my pronouns.”  In response to a query by Le Journal de Montreal columnist Sophie Durocher, a museum spokesperson defended the performance – while boasting about the taxpayer-funded institution having also invited children’s drag performer Barbada de Barbades to the opening night."

I helped a 15 year old teenager lose his virginity. I accidentally infected him with HIV, but I didn't knew when we had sex. His family has a right to be angry with me, but what it's completely unfair it's that they were using tranphobic slurs with me, I feel so dysphoric now and my day is ruined."
"So did you hear what he did last week?"
"She"
"Right. Anyway, she raped a minor and gave him aids."

Teen Disqualified From 'PokΓ©mon' TCG Tournament After Nervously Laughing When Asked For Pronouns Opens Up: "I Hadn’t Had Suicidal Thoughts In A While Until This Event" - "17-year-old player Makani Tran was disqualified in a regional PokΓ©mon TCG tournament... “Due to the nerves and me being embarrassed I let out a little laugh just a normal nervous laugh. My response together ended up being ‘Um he or him or uhhhh haha his’. That’s it. That’s all I said.”... “The head judge seemed to understand so I was a bit relieved but then he pulls out the rule book on his phone and says that due to me violating their inclusive policy and due to me making someone feel unsafe and uncomfortable, I was disqualified from the event.”  It would seem the one who felt unsafe and uncomfortable was the judge with they/them pronouns...   Now openly crying, Tran told the head judge he hadn’t listened to him at all, that he had spent $800 in flights and even missed school to attend the tournament. The head judge “didn’t care at all,” despite admitting “he believed that I had no bad intentions, it didn’t matter because at the end of the day, someone was offended and upset.”"
Gestures of "inclusion" quickly become mandatory due to the slippery slope, and new shibboleths are sought

Teacher Sacked After Refusing to Use Eight Year-Old’s Trans Pronouns and Raising Safeguarding Concerns - "A primary schoolteacher has lost her job and is facing a raft of investigations from various regulatory bodies for questioning the advice from Stonewall and Mermaids to encourage a ‘gender transition’ of an eight year-old pupil without any medical evidence...   Based on the advice from trans rights organisations such as Mermaids and Stonewall, the council instructed all school staff always to refer to the child by male pronouns and her chosen male name and that she should use boys’ toilets, dressing rooms and dormitories as requested.  The teacher known as ‘Hannah’ (not her real name) invoked the school’s and the council’s whistleblowing procedure to argue that this approach was not based on medical evidence or compliance with the safeguarding procedures and was putting the child’s health and welfare at risk.  Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Hannah relied on several expert reports from scientists and doctors highlighting the dangers of encouraging ‘gender transition’ in young children...   In response to Hannah’s legal action, the school summarily dismissed her for divulging confidential information to her lawyers and to the court.  The school reported Hannah to the Information Commissioner for a criminal offence under the Data Protection Act. The Information Commissioner has concluded there was no evidence of a criminal offence and decided to take no further action.  The school also reported Hannah to the professional regulator, Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA), for an alleged confidentiality breach. The TRA is currently investigating the case. If found guilty of professional misconduct, Hannah may face a lifelong ban from the profession.  Reporting Hannah to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), the school sought to bar her from teaching. The DBS, however, has declined to impose a ban pending further enquiries following an investigation.   After a life-long career as a professional teacher, Hannah has been forced to find a job in a sandwich bar.  She has now brought a claim in Employment Tribunal against the school for victimising her for whistleblowing, unfair dismissal and religious discrimination."

Teen Girl Suing CA Hospital for Removing Her Breasts When She Was 13, Says She Was Influenced Online to Believe She Was Trans - "The plaintiff, Layla Jane, 18, says that she was prescribed puberty blockers and hormones by Kaiser Foundation Hospitals before being subjected to a double mastectomy on her healthy tissue...   “This case is about a team of doctors (i.e., the Defendants) who decided to perform a damaging, imitation sex change experiment on Kayla, then a twelve-year-old vulnerable girl struggling with complex mental health co-morbidities, who needed care, attention, and psychotherapy, not cross-sex hormones and mutilating surgery,” the lawsuit begins...   “Three Kaiser doctors, including Defendant Dr. Escalante, advised Kayla and her parents that Kayla was too young for cross-sex hormones,” the complaint continues. “But Kayla and her parents eventually were referred to Defendants Dr. Watson, Dr. Taylor, and Dr. Tong, who immediately, and negligently, affirmed Kayla’s self- diagnosed transgenderism without adequate psychological evaluation. They instead promptly placed her on puberty blockers and testosterone at age 12, and performed a double mastectomy within six months at age 13. This all occurred after Dr. Watson determined in a single, 75-minute transition evaluation that Kayla was transgender.”  Jane detransitioned when she was 17 years old.  The lawsuit points to three areas where the defendants failed the patient.  First, the lawsuit explains that desistence in childhood cross gender identities is well studied and demonstrates that around 80%-90% of gender dysphoria cases involving minors resolve by adulthood, with gender identity realigning to biological sex.  Next, the lawyers allege that the doctors failed to evaluate, appreciate, treat and consider her serious co-morbid mental health symptoms before placing her on hormones, puberty blockers, and removing her breasts.  Finally, the lawsuit states that “the medical studies in this area regarding minors, particularly minor girls, are dubious at best and do not indicate improved mental health outcomes from this affirmation treatment. One of the best studies in this area is a 30-year, population-based study of adults in Sweden, which found that transgender individuals who chemically/surgically ‘transition’ have poor mental health outcomes, increased psychiatric morbidity, suicidality, and a 19-fold increased rate of suicide as compared with the general population (40-fold for biological females)...   The Center for American Liberty is also representing Chloe Cole, who has filed a similar lawsuit after having her breasts removed at 15 years old.”

Students in local schools identify as animals but no litter boxes exist - "There are students in schools across Renfrew County who identify as animals, although there are no litter boxes in schools.  “That is not a secret,” David Kaiser, vice chair of the Renfrew County District School Board, said on Monday. “It is known throughout the board we do have students who identify as animals.”...  Mr. Kaiser confirmed this as well to the Leader, although he did note he felt the issue was being sensationalized.  He did confirm there was a request for kitty litter in one school and it was denied by the board.  “This is a controversial issue,” he noted. “Our board is being transparent but the privacy of these students is very important.”  He said he did disagree with some comments which have been attributed to him about the issue of students identifying as animals.  “I have never implied that there is ‘more to this issue’,” he said. “Only that I was informed there were seven students in the county who have self-identified as animals.”  While the board is being transparent about this issue, he said to protect the privacy of these students no further information is being divulged...   Bob Schreader, chair of the Renfrew County District Catholic School Board, said the board is not aware of any student who attends Catholic schools in Renfrew County who may identify as an animal"
‘A girl at our school has decided she identifies as a cat’ - "On the topic of pronouns, a teacher, who wishes to remain anonymous, tells of a female pupil who has “decided she identifies as a cat”.   “We now have to deal with the boys who have been ‘barking’ at her.”  The teacher proceeds to detail how “all offer letters to prospective students are now being sent out with ‘them’ and ‘their’ pronouns even though none of these children (11 years old mostly) have ever suggested they are uncomfortable with the gender given to them at birth.  “I have to hope that the parents receiving these letters assume the pronouns used are all typos, but they are most definitely not — someone is on a woke crusade. It’s just embarrassing.”... Expressing her views on the pride flag, Ms Steele argues that “it is not inclusive, unlike the original Newtonian rainbow spectrum flag that represented everyone. This incarnation only represents certain groups. It is, therefore, exclusionary.”"
Private school supports student’s choice to identify as a cat - "A private school in Australia is reportedly supporting a young "non-verbal" student identifying as a cat. "
Liberals keep insisting this is something the MAGA crowd made up

Rye College gender row: Full audio of furious teacher branding pupil 'despicable' - "This is the moment a Church of England schoolteacher branded a Year 8 pupil 'despicable' after they rejected a classmate's claim that she identified as a cat.  The 13-year-old pupil said she was made to stay after the class at Rye College in East Sussex on 'life education' by the teacher, who can be heard in a secret recording calling her view that gender is binary 'really despicable' and 'very sad'.  In the three-and-half-minute recording, the angry teacher is heard speaking to two girls and says they would report the children to a senior colleague, and they needed a 'proper educational conversation about equality, diversity and inclusion'... 'I just said my opinion,' the pupil replies. 'If I respect their opinion, can't they respect mine?'  The teacher goes on to say it is 'not an opinion' and 'gender is not linked to the parts that you were born with, gender is about how you identify, which is what I said right from the very beginning of the lesson'.  The teacher continues, adding that 'there are actually three biological sexes because you can be born with male and female body parts or hormones'."
School which allowed child to identify as a cat faces Government investigation - "Downing Street told headteachers that they should not be teaching children that they can identify as cats or other animals.  A source close to Mrs Keegan said: “Teachers should not be teaching contested ideology as fact. They must have due regard to safeguarding if a pupil identifies as an animal.”  It is understood that she has ordered the Department for Education’s regional director for the South East to visit Rye College and investigate whether pupils’ safety has been put at risk. Gillian Keegan, the Education Secretary, is understood to have ordered an investigation into the Church of England school... After the pupils said they believed there are only two genders, the teacher said: “Why do you think we have so many problems in the world with homophobia?”... teaching assistants at other schools are taking children who identify as horses out cantering and feeding strips of meat to those who consider themselves to be dinosaurs."
The "myth" of the slippery slope strikes again!
Of course rejecting trans mania makes you homophobic

The school children now identifying as animals - "a pupil at a secondary school in the South West is insisting on being addressed as a dinosaur. At another secondary school in England, a pupil insists on identifying as a horse. Another wears a cape and wants to be acknowledged as a moon... the teacher in charge of the class appears to have bracketed a child’s desire to be treated as a cat with other children’s desire to be treated as another gender, or genderless.   The school, which does not dispute that the incident happened, said it was committed to inclusive education, but would be “reviewing our processes to ensure such events do not take place in the future”... “Teachers should be dealing with this under existing safeguarding frameworks,” she says. “If a child is coming to school identifying as a cat or a horse, that should immediately raise red flags.   “The teacher should be asking themselves, what are these children looking at online? What forums are they on? What is going on in the home? What is happening in that child’s life and who else is involved?   “The problem is that teachers have a blind spot where anything involving identity comes in, because they are frightened of doing the wrong thing. They think they are being kind by affirming these behaviours, but they are not being kind, because they are likely to be missing all sorts of things that are going on in that child’s life.”  The teachers are also letting down other pupils whose education is being disrupted by the affirming of children with abnormal behaviour.   One pupil at a state secondary school in Wales told The Telegraph of a fellow pupil who “feels very discriminated against if you do not refer to them as ‘catself’”. She added: “When they answer questions, they meow rather than answer a question in English. And the teachers are not allowed to get annoyed about this because it’s seen as discriminating.”   The student in question is in Year 11, but began using the pronoun “catself” in Year 9 “when the whole thing with neo pronouns started”, the pupil said.   She described how lessons could be completely derailed if a teacher attempted to get the child to reply to a question in English rather than meowing."...   The pupil blamed social media, saying students were being influenced by accounts run by people who identify as trees and animals. It started “around Covid”, she says... The Telegraph also spoke to a pupil at a school where one student, who identifies as “moonself”, wears a cloak to school, described by a fellow pupil as “like a Harry Potter wizard cape”.   The child in question did not identify as the Moon, but as a moon, and said they could put curses on people.   But while other pupils would be pulled up for wearing non-uniform items, such as facial piercings or dyed hair, children who identified as cats or moons would be allowed to wear cat ears or cloaks to express their “true self”, breeding resentment among other pupils.   Teachers are not helped by the fact that respected organisations to which they might turn for guidance can themselves be caught up in the confusion between cosplay and self-identity.   The Safer Schools organisation (not to be confused with the Safer Schools Alliance), which claims to be a “multi-award-winning safeguarding ecosystem” has issued guidance to parents and teachers in which it says: “The furry community itself is a complex one, made up of many different identities and definitions of what it means to be a ‘furry’.”   It also advises parents and teachers to “engage in conversation about what they think it means to be a furry and what they see as the benefits”."
