Links - 16th May 2025 (2 - Trans Mania)

Wesley Yang on X - "Extending the statue of limitations to 25 years would be the end of the gender industry. No other laws need to be passed to abolish the gender industry besides this one.   We know this because the law banning pediatric gender medicine in Missouri allowed the clinics to stay open for another year and continue treating children already having their puberty blocked or cross-sex hormones being administrated. But the clinics all shut down immediately because of another provision of the bill, extending liability for those who regret their transitions for 25 years.   Though the clinicians claim they are helping people to become their authentic selves by dosing them with cross-sex hormones, they don't really believe it. If it were true, they would have no reason to fear future liability.  But it's not true, they know it's no true, and they therefore shut down immediately rather than face that liability.
The bill should be passed in every state legislature. Opponents of the bill are in an impossible bind. What does any clinician have to fear from a procedure that helps people assume their immutable gender identity and become their authentic selves?"
The cope is that their patients will sue them due to (internalised) transphobia, so they can't be liable for their "life saving" "treatment"

Wesley Yang on X - "So long as it’s solely a cosmetic practice for adults paid out of pocket with no claims of medical efficacy attached, there’s probably no way or need to stop it. If other forms of propaganda and legal mandates to buy into the pseudo religion are withdrawn and it is rightly understood to be a form of extreme personal eccentricity that some people are allowed to pursue without forcing themselves into cross sex spaces, that’s probably the best we can hope for... T will remain a harmful cult like many that we allow to exist in a pluralistic society. What distinguishes T from other harmful cults is that it is state sponsored and enforced on the basis of false claims of medical efficacy."

When nurse Jennifer inadvertently called a burly 6ft transgender paedophile Mr, the sex offender attacked her and called her the N-word three times. So guess who was investigated by the NHS and labelled a danger to the public - "a burly 6ft-plus convicted paedophile, shackled to two prison escorts, shuffled into Ms Melle’s ward and loudly complained about a urinary problem.  Legal reasons prevent Patient X’s identification, though why this person, who was jailed for grooming young boys, is afforded such protection will doubtless confound many. Not least because that night, in a fit of rage, Patient X screamed racist abuse at Ms Melle – calling her the N-word three times.  She says: ‘It was terrifying. I’d never been called that word before. And I thought I was going to be attacked.’ At one point Patient X lunged towards her, straining against chains.  ‘The whole thing – the terrible racial abuse, the aggression, which all happened in front of patients and staff – left me traumatised. And I was only trying to help.’  It is what happened next, though, that truly beggars belief. One might imagine that on hearing that one of its black employees was on the receiving end of possibly the most insulting and inflammatory slur in the English language, the diversity-obsessed NHS would back her to the hilt. Instead, her bosses decided she was in the wrong. In the eyes of Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals Trust, the greater sin was that Ms Melle had referred to Patient X – who was born male but now identifies as a woman – as ‘mister’ and ‘he’ during a phone call with a doctor. It was this which prompted Patient X’s aggressive outburst.  Afterwards, Ms Melle was investigated and disciplined and, having been labelled a potential risk to the public, now fears losing her job. She wonders what happened to the ‘England of fair play’ of which her father once spoke. After being given a final warning by the trust, she received a letter from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) last month saying it was investigating concerns about her fitness to practise because she ‘referred to a patient in a manner inconsistent with their gender identity’.  Yet it is one of the ironies of this case that Patient X had exploited gender identity by posing as a teenage girl online to incite under age boys to perform sex acts... It is, of course, a case in which the NHS once again risks being accused of sacrificing common sense on the altar of gender ideology, and follows that of eight nurses from Darlington who took their trust to court after being forced to share a changing room with a biological man who identifies as a woman.  There is also the ongoing case of the nurse suspended after complaining about a trans medic using her female changing room. Sandie Peggie was put under a disciplinary investigation for a year by bosses at Victoria Hospital, in Kirkcaldy, Fife, after she objected to sharing the facility with Dr Beth Upton... Even judges were issued with official advice last month. They were warned it is now ‘extremely inappropriate’ to refer to male rapists who say they identify as women by their preferred pronouns. Yet as it stands criminals are free to pick their gender because the Government refuses to force police to record biological sex... Overhearing the conversation, Patient X began screaming in protest at Ms Melle’s use of the word ‘mister’. The prisoner shouted: ‘Do not call me mister, I am a woman!’  Ms Melle says the conversation with the doctor needs to be placed in context. Even if she was prepared to use alternative pronouns, she says it would have been absurd because the discussion related to a catheter – for a male – which needed to be removed. ‘This was a real-life medical scenario that required accurate terminology to avoid any doubt between medical professionals,’ she says... She says that the NHS has unlawfully interfered with her rights under the European Convention on Human Rights to freedom of thought, conscience and religion."

Sam Morgan on X - "Reminder: They don't just want to compete, They want to beat women. "Swimming World Cup category for transgender athletes cancelled after no entries received" (2023)"
Swimming World Cup category for transgender athletes cancelled after no entries received

Emma Hilton on X - "Caster Semenya only appears to be an elite athlete because Caster Semenya is a male who has been misclassified as female. Many thousands of males would appear to be elite athletes if they were classified into the female category.  This does not mean those thousands of males would or should be elite athletes if they were classified into the male category. There is precisely no reason to believe that these males would or should be able to keep up with elite males. Trying to argue or prove that individuals like Caster Semenya do not have male advantage because they do not put in elite male track times is bizarre.   I have no idea where this leap of non-logic comes from or why sensible people cannot see the glaring gaps in the premise. And there is even less reason to argue that Semenya et al must be female because they don't run like elite males. This is clearly a batshit assertion. (Reposted as a standalone)"
Colin Wright on X - "I've heard activists ask what Semenya is supposed to do if it's unfair for him to compete against women and he isn't competitive against elite men.  The answer is: nothing. His "elite" athleticism is an illusion, a product of having competed against women his entire life. He can join the large population of mediocre male athletes who would dominate in the women's category but are vastly outclassed by elite male athletes.  People don't have a right to be professional athletes."

The Met's new war on women - "In March 2023, nearly 100 Metropolitan Police officers were crammed into a special seminar at New Scotland Yard. They were there to mark Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) and to listen to presentations from several trans-activist speakers.  This ‘celebration’ is now the focus of allegations that the Met have been captured by trans activists. This is the claim of detective constable Melanie Newman, who has bravely taken the Met to a tribunal on the grounds they discriminated against staff with gender-critical views. During the tribunal hearing, which began last week, she has said that the Met have created a ‘hostile environment’ for anyone who challenges transgender ideology.  The details that have emerged so far, if true, paint a shocking picture of life in the Met. At the TDOV event, one speaker, trans activist Eva Echo, allegedly told officers that trans people needed to be ‘saved’ from gender-critical people, who had ‘warped, twisted views’. Echo is said to have warned officers of the ‘cult-like behaviour’ of those who raise concerns about men in women’s toilets and women’s sports.    It’s also been reported that the officers and staff attending the TDOV event hissed at the mention of women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen (aka Posie Parker), who has organised rallies across the world to highlight the threat from transgenderism, and remind policymakers that the word ‘woman’ means ‘adult human female’.  If this turns out to be the case, it would hardly be a shock. Another one of the speakers at New Scotland Yard, Shea Coffey, had previously posted on social media that it was ‘hilarious’ when Keen was assaulted in New Zealand in spring 2023, during an incident that left her fearing for her life... Newman, who joined the Met after working as a journalist, has told the tribunal that numerous colleagues were investigated and disciplined after raising concerns about the influence of trans activism on the force. In her witness statement, she also details how specialist LGBT officers and trainers freely made grotesque comments about gender-critical people. One sergeant allegedly referred to them as ‘a bunch of lesbians’ – as if the word ‘lesbian’ was a slur.  The Met have long faced allegations of institutional sexism, and this embrace of transgender activism has only made matters worse. After all, the police have been actively championing an ideology that tells women they have no right to their own spaces, language or safety.  Moreover, the Met have been more than happy to investigate and intimidate women who speak out against gender ideology. Officers spent more than a year, between 2023 and 2024, investigating researcher Maya Forstater for ‘malicious communications’ after she posted on social media that a male GP who identifies as trans ‘enjoys intimately examining female patients without their consent’. In Baroness Casey’s 2023 report, which accused the Met of more traditional forms of misogyny, she warned that ‘those who speak up… learn the hard way that there are adverse consequences for themselves, for their careers and for their teams’. Reading Newman’s testimony, it seems like nothing has changed.  In transgenderism, the Metropolitan Police have found a new way to dress up old-fashioned sexism as something right-on and progressive. The Met aren’t just failing women – they seem to be waging war on us."

Shared post - Cross-dressing man arrested over alleged terror threat to mass kill Christians at Memphis church - "A man was arrested on March 22 after allegedly threatening to mass "butcher" parishioners with a machete at St. Louis Catholic Church. Zachary Vizee Liberto, 30, was charged with commission of an act of terrorism. Liberto also allegedly defaced the baptismal pool inside the church and confronted a priest.  On his social media, Liberto frequently posts about "how good it feels to be a girl" and "sissy hypnosis" content (a type of p—rn genre that tries to hypnotize male viewers into self-feminization)"

Ray Blanchard on X - "There are multiple reasons why transactivists have been unable to completely suppress the word autogynephilia and the knowledge of men who are sexually aroused at the thought or image of themselves as women.  One reason is the testimony of autogynephilic men who recognized themselves in clinical writings and experienced relief rather than shame and horror at being “exposed.” Such men have confirmed the existence of autogynephilia on multiple online venues.  A second reason is the many autogynephiles who post videos of themselves cross-dressed, often in their bathrooms or bedrooms, moving around and posing in what they consider a feminine, seductive manner, and exhibiting subtle or obvious signs of sexual excitement.  A third reason is the testimony of autogynephiles’ ex-wives, who sometimes provide first-hand accounts of their husbands’ autogynephilic behavior from the standpoint of (usually unwilling) participant-observers."

Thread by @Serena_Partrick on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Everything changes about these stories once you know about autogynephilia and its patterns. Exhibitionism, post-surgery exceptionalism, denial of women's whole humanity. Sexism rebranded as feminism. It's just so hard for him, especially buying all those new clothes and 'classy heels'. Stealing his mother's stockings rebranded as proof of "womanhood". High stakes boundary violations.  The PR job paraphilic men have done on themselves is really beyond compare.  He was always a better woman than her.  They share a bed, they don't have sex, he's still attracted to women, she won't (thank God) pretend she's a lesbian, they talk about an open marriage but the writing suggests it be may only him who pursues this, & all her suffering is as nothing next to his Hero's Journey.  "She may be, however, the very woman for the job"  Do transmaidens like Louise Gannon feel relief at being able to hand over the fight for women's equality to men?... The quote actually ends "to ring real changes", which even further insults women imo. Like the changes won by women before were paltry but now here's a man to do a proper job of it."
What happened when my banker husband became a woman: inside our trans marriage

Ray Blanchard on X - "The main group of concerned individuals who “disbelieve” in autogynephilia are gender-dysphoric (or fully transsexual) males with a history of autogynephilic arousal. There are at least two reasons why they go into denial about autogynephilia. The first is that it contradicts their concept of themselves as real women. Many autogynephilic men have imperiled or sacrificed their careers and their family relationships to pursue their dreams of living as women, and they will not willingly abandon their justification for doing this.  The second reason is relatively rational. Autogynephiles have good reason to expect that openness and honesty about their condition would not earn them acceptance, understanding, or sympathy from the public, but rather repulsion, hatred, and rejection. They have good reasons for this fear. I have seen multiple threads on Twitter/X where self-aware autogynephiles, who understand and respect women’s boundaries, try to explain their drives and feelings to the public. Some commenters respond to these pleas for understanding in the spirit in which they were offered. Other commenters, however, simply take the opportunity to register their opinion that all autogynephiles, no matter how discreet and considerate of others’ feelings, are inherently repulsive and noxious to organized society."

Toddler is kicked out of nursery 'for being transphobic' - as families blast school's 'insanity' - "The child, aged either three or four, was suspended for 'abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity', data from the Department for Education shows.  The offences took place in the 2022-23 academic year at a state school, according to The Telegraph.  Statistics indicate 94 pupils at similar primary institutions were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia or homophobia in the same year.  This included ten pupils from Year 1 and three from Year 2, where the maximum age was seven, and one child was of nursery age. Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, said: 'Every once in a while, the extremes of gender ideology throw up a story that seems too crazy to believe, and a toddler being suspended from nursery for so-called "transphobia" or homophobia is one such example. 'Teachers and school leaders involved in this insanity should be ashamed of themselves for projecting adult concepts and beliefs on to such young children.' Across all primary schools and state schools, the number of pupils suspended or expelled for homophobic or transphobic behaviour increased from 164 in 2021-22 to 178 in 2022-23... Lord Young, director of the Free Speech Union, said: 'I would have thought that if your ideology is so rigid it justifies you punishing toddlers for not complying with it, that's a powerful argument for discarding it in favour of something less dogmatic.'... In 2022, a Church of England school in the Isle of Wight warned a six-year-old boy's parents that he might be deemed 'transphobic' if he were to question another pupil wearing a dress. Sally and Nigel Rowe, whose sons attended a Church of England school, said they received a letter from the headteacher and chair of governors which declared pupils could be designated the term if they showed 'an inability to believe a transgender person is actually a ''real'' female or male.' They claimed the letter also added that refusing to use a transgender pupil's adopted name or gender appropriate pronouns would be considered 'transphobic behaviour'."
Trans people are a small, victimised minority who need even more protection
Time to tear down the Church of England because it enforces Theocracy

Lucy Zelić on X - "There is an extraordinary myth being perpetuated that trans-identified males would “lose their right” to play sport, should protections for women and girls be implemented. This simply isn’t true. The player in question is freely able to play in the male, or open categories."

Libs of TikTok on X - "LGBTQ activists showed up en masse to protest against a parent who spoke out about her daughter being forced to share a bathroom and locker room with a male and being barricaded in the locker room by staff members and forced to undress."

Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇦🇺 on X - "This guy was great.   He wants to push me into traffic, thinks puberty blockers aren’t blocking puberty, and believes if the government says it’s okay to sterilize kids, then it must be okay. Who am I to gripe about it?  He is devastated that I’m Canadian and not American, because he idolized Canadians and is a standard America-hater.  He says I’m bigoted, need to go back where I came from, need to reassess my life choices, my head is hollow, I’m probably a Christian nationalist, I must love guns, hate taxes (of course I do), and I look terrible and ancient because of my bigotry.  I also learned that “all trans people are people that are born biologically in a different body.”  Wow. Do they switch bodies or something? Sounds scary."

Macdonald-Laurier Institute on X - "Have public libraries abandoned neutrality to push partisanship? Michael Dudley, librarian at @uwinnipeg, argues that many Canadian libraries have selectively excluded gender-critical perspectives, thereby stifling public debate on a controversial issue:"
Mia Hughes on X - "In 2022, I had an interesting experience at the Ottawa Library. I had reserved Helen Joyce's Trans, and when I went to pick it up, I discovered that an @opl_bpo employee had taken it upon themselves to stick my name on a pro-LGBTQ+ propaganda book - basically to reeducate me."
Ignorant conservatives, accusing libraries of being woke!

Sonia Sodha on X - "It’s extraordinary how some people fail to see the contempt for women, especially lesbians, and their boundaries at the heart of gender identity ideology- and to understand this is why it has been embraced by so many unreconstructed misogynists"
Joanna Cherry KC on X - "This 💯 is what I found with so many of the men I had to work beside in politics. Gender identity ideology has given them a licence to flaunt their misogyny and their hatred of lesbians who refuse to worship at the altar of male sexuality & the patriarchy."

Meme - "Christianity is big part of my identity, so when someone deliberately says 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas', I find it offensive."
"We don't have to play along with your beliefs; just because it's important to you doesn't mean everyone else has to say it. But anyway, let me tell you why you have to use my preferred pronouns."

Meme - Colin Wright @SwipeWright: "For the "gender critical" crowd, this post seems almost hilarious—"Yup, that's what we're saying, Chase!"  But to progressives, this post is a dare. It is DARING them to question the cult dogma. Fall in line or face permanent exile from your social group as a bigoted heretic."
Chase Strangio @chasestrangio: "If you are angry or think it's "unfair" for a trans girl to beat a cis girl in a sporting event then fundamentally you don't think trans girls are "real" girls. It's that simple."

Mother of skirt-wearing teen who raped female classmate in Loudon County says he identifies as male - "she proceeded to berate the girl, expressing doubts even after a judge found her son guilty.  'If I was in a position where I was about to be raped, I would be screaming, kicking, everything,' she said. 'You're 15. You can reasonably defend yourself. You're not just going to sit there and take it. And so, because there wasn't a presence of a fight, he felt it was okay to keep going.'"

Diana Alastair💚🤍💜 ✡️⚢ ❌❌ on X [On an attempt to ban gay marriage] - "We think you’ve gone and fvcked us all over because you couldn’t settle for being treated like everyone else, that’s how. No, you had to be the center of attention, and to validate your own delusions by sterilizing and mutilating other people’s kids, and removing them from their homes. You also destroyed women’s safe spaces, ruined women’s sports, got women raped and murdered, and gave the schools the power to lie to parents about the physical safety of their own children.  Now the backlash is coming, and instead apologizing for dragging all of us down with you - because that is absolutely what you are doing - you’re desperately and despicably trying to pin the blame on gays and lesbians who have never wanted anything more than to be tolerated and left the fvck alone to live our lives.   Your inappropriate, entitled, and predatory behavior has provoked such overwhelming, incredulous disgust that people who didn’t mind gays - or even trans people - a decade ago now can’t wait to shove us all back in the closet and lock the door forever.  And who can blame them? You’ve done an excellent job of ruining the reputation of the entire LGBT community, and of destroying every last bit of the progress that took decades of careful, deliberate inoffensiveness, and respect for the boundaries and values of the rest of society to achieve. Thank you so much.  We spent fifty years trying to show straight people that we aren’t just a bunch of degenerate freaks who can’t wait to convert their children, that we don’t want to tear up the social fabric, or spit on their values, and what do you do?   You march down streets chanting “we’re coming for your children”; you force your way into women’s spaces in order to sexually exploit both the spaces and their female occupants; you convince millions of children that they’re “born in the wrong body,” and need hormones and surgery in order to be themselves - not because you care about their wellbeing, of course, but because you think that the existence of so-called “trans kids” validates the claims of trans-pretending adults; you demand that that all of society change its definitions of man and woman, male and female, sex and gender, boy and girl; you insist that everyone cater to you, lie to and for you, and put you on a pedestal as the sacred Victim Caste; you demand the perversion of science, you threaten and even attack women at their own events, you urge violence against women at yours, and you commit all manner of perverse, deviant, and unbelievably disgusting sexual acts in women’s spaces — which you film, and then upload to the internet so that the whole world can see how incredibly fvcking sick you are.   In short, you come along and bring every fear and every homophobic stereotype they’ve ever believed to loud, demanding, rainbow colored life. You separated mentally unstable children from their parents, preventing them from getting real therapy, and some of those children _died_ —  how the fvck did you think people were going to react to that?   And now you don’t even have the decency to admit what you’ve done; instead you’re trying to pin this on the  people who spent the last decade doing everything we could to undo the damage you have caused, and to stave off the catastrophic results of your unhinged, entitled, predatory actions.   If we do get through the next four years without losing the right to marry, or hell, the right to be openly gay, it will be entirely due to the people you deride as “fascist bootlickers” — the same people who got you your rights in the first place, you ungrateful, greedy gang of petulant children — and their unceasing efforts to mitigate the cataclysm that you have unleashed upon us all with your insanely selfish behavior.
