Thread by @wokal_distance on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Atrium Health is a $9 billion dollar hospital network that gives "gender affirming care" to children. Atrium owns a Children's Hospital with a gender clinic for kids that gives puberty blockers, hormones, and referrals to surgeons. Exposing Atrium Health A Thread🧵
Atrium owns own Levine's Children's hospital, which houses "Levine Children's Center for Gender Health," and they are very clear that they offer service specifically to CHILDREN. They make it very clear that CHILDREN are the ones they perform their interventions on. Among the interventions that this clinic offers are:
- Cross-sex Hormones
- Puberty Blockers
- Referrals to surgeons
And remember, this is all being given to CHILDREN, and they make that fact very clear and explicit. The Levine Children's Center for Gender Health is part of Teen Health Connection, and facility of the Carolina's Medical Center. According to the@donoharm Stop The Harm Database, The Atrium Health Carolina's Medical Center had 11 sex-change patients:
Atrium health has bought into the entire gender ideology that has been pushed by the Critical Social Justice (woke) movement. As such Atrium is not just doing gender interventions on minors, they are also incorporating Critical Social Justice/woke ideology across the company. This takes the form a large set of DEI proposals, and programs which accept the entire ideology of the so-called woke movement. For example, that have an entire DEI portfolio which includes both a diversity report documenting their policy, and a "Racial Justice Tool-kit". The Diversity report is woke through and through, complete with all the jargon like refering to hispanics as "latinX." It also contains the now famous equity vs equality diagram, and discusses its focus on systemic and structural barriers. This is paired with a "racial equity taskforce" that has as its goal dealing with racial inequality and historic racial injustice. Atrium Health also provides a "Racial Justice Tool-kit" which is full of resources. It contains both unconscious bias training (unconscious bias is a concept that emerged from Critical Race Theory), and also a video with commentary from Trevor Noah, formerly of the Daily Show. Atrium health also claims they have a diversity agenda and that the racial equity taskforce also has an agenda. In short, the goal of these programs is to implements the Critical Social Justice/woke agenda across the entirety of Atrium Health. Atrium health is also explicit about the fact that it engages in affirmative action and in inclusive hiring. This almost certainly means that they are hiring on the basis of race and gender, and very likely have racial and gender hiring quotas. There is a section on #whitecoatsforblacklives which includes a picture of hospital staff taking a knee for George Floyd. Every single cliche from the 2020 "great awokening" is to be found in Atrium Health's diversity document. This includes a Courageous Conversations enterprise that includes an "intimate conversation" for men of color only. In other words, all the non-white men are going to have a conversation that excludes white men, and this is officially supported by Atrium Health.
Finally, Atrium Health exists as a government entity that was created by an act of the North Carolina Legislature and gets Tax Breaks, Anti-Trust Immunity, and the power of Eminent Domain. The North Carolina Legislature has Authority over Atrium and can fix this if they want. I want you to see the degree to which Atrium Health has been captured by woke ideology. The entire enterprise from top to bottom is totally hijacked by woke activists who use it as a vehicle for advancing their political agenda. This needs to end now."

Clearly, as a vulnerable and marginalised minority, transwomen need to be prioritised for womb transplants, because not doing that is literally killing them, and so is literally genocide, just as the estrogen shortage doesn't mean transwomen should give up their pursuit of gender euphoria
ripx4nutmeg on X - "HBO aired a 45 minute episode of Last Week Tonight, in which John Oliver argued that men have only limited or no advantage over women in sports, and men winning in women's sports almost never happens, on the same evening that a women's pool final was contested between two men"

Thread by @babybeginner on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "THREAD. You know Payton McNabb. She is the young lady who was bashed so hard with a volleyball hit by a male player that she got seriously hurt. Here is John Oliver going after her. She’s a young girl and John Oliver is attacking her! Seriously, can we all stop and appreciate the situation here. John Oliver is minimizing what happened to her. He can’t address the issue that having men in women’s sports is dangerous, so he belittles a young girl, a teenager at the time, who was seriously injured by a boy. She did nothing but GET HURT and has to shame her on his show. This is so low, folks. So down and dirty. He is putting her in danger to push an ideology that is indefensible on its own terms. You’re going to ask how he is putting her danger. He’s doing it by implying that she is making too big a deal out of being badly hurt and implying that bc of her, poor little boys won’t be able to play sports. Which isn’t true anyway. This is just like the Nick Sandmann situation where the media went after a kid who did nothing wrong. Payton’s mom @PamelaMcNabb22 is on X and could really use your support. John Oliver just set a whole bunch of dangerous folks on her daughter. When there are extremely violent people out there, it’s reprehensible to do such an irresponsible piece. About a young lady!!! This is so bad. He has crossed a line he can’t come back from."
Billy Bragg on X - "Have you noticed there's always a reason why it doesn't matter women are being screwed over?
Disc golf? That's not a real sport! (It is)
Fencing? That's mixed sex anyway! (It's not)
Pool? Men don't have an advantage there! (They do)
Boxing? Their passports say they're female! (But sex testing showed they were male) Swimming?
Those women just weren't any good! (They were the best in America)
No matter how women are getting cheated, humiliated, physically harmed, it will always be excused by those who want us to pretend some men are women, because the pretence is all that is important to them. Everything is malleable apart from their goal: having sex replaced with 'gender identity' in life, law, & social policy, getting any resistance to this classified as the worst kind of bigotry & made illegal, thus destroying women's rights & making it impossible for us to point that out."

James Esses on X - "Children in UK schools are being taught that Joan of Arc was ‘non-binary’. Why? Because she wore traditional male attire, particularly when fighting (the reasons for this are well documented). This is utterly regressive and suggests to girls that stereotypes reign supreme."
Joan of Arc was non-binary, schoolchildren taught - "Lesson plans produced for English language students aged between 11 and 14 include the claim about the medieval figure, who is the patron saint of France and fought against the English during the Hundred Years’ War. In the Who We Are anthology published by Collins, which is made up of “representative and inclusive contemporary texts”, a lesson plan includes a biography that reads: “Joan of Arc (1412-31) is today considered by some to have been non-binary.” The knight cropped her hair in the male fashion and wore men’s clothes, which formed part of the heresy case against her for which she was burned at the stake in 1431. But she never claimed not to be female and also did not adopt the non-binary gender identity, which only emerged in the late 20th century. Robert Tombs, professor emeritus of French history at the University of Cambridge, branded the claim “insulting”. “Joan of Arc fought as a woman and died as a woman,” he told The Telegraph. “To call her something else is insulting to her and indirectly to all women who are brave enough to risk their lives for their beliefs – as if women are incapable of heroism.” Carolyn Brown, a retired psychologist now working with the Women’s Rights Network, said: “This is yet another ridiculous example of attempting to rewrite history and erase strong, rebellious female characters from our past. “It’s insulting to suggest that non-conforming women are not women. Non-binary is a nonsense term – indeed the Supreme Court in the UK recently ruled against including it as an option on passports. “It’s also another example of the junk science of queer theory being visited on children. It’s unhelpful psychologically to children’s development and is likely to cause confusion and anxiety.” It is not the first time Joan of Arc has been dubbed non-binary. In 2022, the Globe Theatre put on the play “I, Joan” which gave her the pronouns “they/them” instead of “she/her”. The claim made in the Collins anthology formed part of a lesson plan designed around drag queen Amrou al-Kadhi’s biography Life as a Unicorn... One teacher said the lesson plan – used by state schools – made “an absolute mockery of the profession”. “In schools today there is simply far too much identity-first woke reading materials being foisted on pupils at the expense of established classics like [To Kill a] Mockingbird or Of Mice and Men,” the teacher said. “We should also not lose sight of the fact that there are cohorts of teenagers vulnerable to reality-denying nonsense like this when it is presented earnestly.”"

NHS trust tries to shut public out of trans tribunal in secrecy row - "An NHS trust is trying to shut the public out of a tribunal about a transgender doctor being allowed to use a female hospital changing room... The board has also asked for a ban on an open justice campaign group for posting live social media updates about the case on X, formerly Twitter. But Ms Peggie’s supporters attacked the “deeply cynical move by NHS Fife” and argued that the tribunal should be available to all to watch, given the “considerable public interest” in the case... At the time, it was not possible for Dr Upton to hold a gender recognition certificate, meaning the medic was legally male. But the doctor claimed during the first stage of the tribunal to be “biologically female”."
Chocolatey - Rosie Duffield's favourite on X - "I posted a tweet (are they still called that?) about Caster Semenya being the keynote speaker at Harvard's Women in Power conference & my mentions still include halfwits who are determined he's a woman, despite him fathering 2 children, having testicles, a male-specific DSD (you know all of this). And it occurs to me that there's no evidence these lunatics will accept that Semenya or Imane Khelif, or any other cheating men, are male. Absolutely none. They've decided they're female & that's that. It's a true indictment of this cult.

Thread by @babybeginner on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Shocking thread. The most inhumane thing you can do is force r@ped women to have men in their presence. I didn’t think anyone would dream of punching down on women in a shelter. I was wrong. And it just happened again. That last one was in Canada. This one is in Edinburgh. From The Times comes a story of councillors considering cuts to a domestic abuse shelter bc it is for women only. The councillors are considering punishing the women bc they are daring to say no to men. The shelter in the first post in this thread also lost funding. What kind of civil rights movement strips shelter women of funding??? This is punching as low as you can go. Unless they go after neonatal units. I can’t think of anything worse. Both of these shelters are run exclusively by women and for exclusively women who have been r@ped and battered. And activists have decided to threaten women at Edinburgh Legal Aid. I have no words. I’m speechless."

Do women not have rights on campus? - "A month into my PhD at the University of Bristol, the students’ union voted for a blanket ban on ‘TERF’ speakers – that is, ‘trans-exclusionary radical feminists’ – on campus. The chilling effect of this was soon felt by myself and other feminists on campus. I never said I was a radical feminist, but that didn’t matter. What mattered to the wannabe despots at Bristol was that people like me were stepping out of line... During the meeting, some students attempted to speak against the motion but were shouted down. One of them described the evening as hostile and ‘extremely aggressive’. She said that ‘it was a horrific and intimidating environment, and debate was completely impossible. I felt afraid to even applaud speakers.’... we were eventually sanctioned and told that we could not be a female-only group, even though the Equality Act explicitly provides for single-sex services... After realising we wouldn’t budge, the activists complained to the Bristol students’ union, claiming that women asserting boundaries constituted ‘extremely harmful psychological injury’. The students’ union then said our society’s members would have to undertake ‘diversity and inclusion’ training... At the Bristol students’ union, space is given to student societies dedicated to promoting kinks, sexual fetishes and BDSM… but not to our society, which offers a female-only service allowing women to discuss rape and domestic violence. The students’ union has even modified its by-laws to reflect its anti-women stance. These by-laws now include a definition of ‘women’ that reads: ‘All who self-define as women, including (if they wish) those with complex gender identities that include “woman”, and those who experience oppression as women.’ It sounds like something a bunch of art students came up with during a psychedelic trip. What’s more, after our women-only society became affiliated with the students’ union in 2018, the union changed its by-laws the following year, banning societies from restricting membership in a way that ‘discriminate[s] against any member as a result of their… gender identity’. This policy means nobody can maintain a female-only society. Is this what student politics in the UK is about? Growing up in the Dominican Republic, I always took student activism incredibly seriously... My experience at Bristol suggests that both students and union officials seem to envy the repressive power of autocratic governments like the one my parents fought. In these people’s eyes, the silencing and punishing of opponents is not a blight to be eradicated from public discourse, but an aspiration. When the students’ union sanctioned Women Talk Back!, our leadership was made up of immigrant women from Latin America and the Caribbean. It feels like the trans activists, the students’ union and the university think that it is not our place to use the rights and protections we have as women in the UK. We hope the courts will disagree"
Feminist student societies in universities ‘can exclude trans women’ - "tNophe women-only Swansea University Feminist Society had been “purged by trans activists” for supporting women’s sex-based rights, with its email accounts shut down and members quitting for their safety.

Wesley Yang on X - "What makes people fixated on transgenderism is literally just reading any of the history, legal filings, medical research, academic theory, or contemporary developments that emerge from it. It takes a few hours to realize it is a world historical bloodbath without peer, it is self-evidently so, and everyone complicit in it being seen as one iota otherwise cannot be forgiven."
Thread by @wesyang on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "There are no "anti-trans extremists." There is a political party and professional apparatus that put male rapists and murderers in women's prisons, propagandized kindergartners that any of them could change sex, forced taxpayers and insurance customers to fund electrolysis and facial feminization surgeries, put any boy or man who claimed to be female into changing rooms with your daughters, forced you to declare the gender identity of your toddler at the doctor's office, deceived parents about the social transition of their children at school, banned psychological exploration of the mental health comorbidities that manifest as trans-ideation in the midst of an online social contagion generating 5000 percent increases in trans identification among youth, fined all-female nude spas run by immigrants for excluding men with penises who claimed to be women for violating the human rights of those men, imposed men on the athletic playing fields with your daughters, told thousands of parents to submit to the chemical castration of their children to avert imminent suicide risk for which no evidence has ever existed, subjected thousands of children to macabre sex changes procedures while lying about the existence of an evidence base where none ever existed while claiming on the basis of no evidence that the procedures were life-saving, investigated parents who refused to put their children on a pipeline to a lifetime of medicalized self-harm by pretending they had changed sex and sought to seize custody of them, and threatened to unperson you, attack your livelihood and leave you ostracized if you resisted it in any way with the aid of the monopolistic tech platforms that control the circulation of speech and money around the globe in a new surveillance and censorship regime that sought to dismantle biological reality in the name of narcissistic fantasies that it intended to entrench as the only truth while corrupting the truth-seeking apparatus of science itself -- and there is a majority of normal people in both parties who oppose this nonsense and want it stopped. Obviously one can posit the existence of anti-trans extremists who want to put trans people in concentration camps and force them to transition and there may even be individuals who harbor such repressive fantasies. But there is no organized movement anywhere in the world that seeks such outcomes and scarcely any individual with a significant public profile who articulates such a vision. The Trump Administration's EO spells out an agenda with zero overlap with such imaginary anti-trans extremism. It instead seeks to dismantle institutional investment in and coercive state power over those who wish to opt out of compelled obeisance to falsehoods -- it wishes to undo the institutionalization of the pro-trans extremism that seized control of American institutions under Biden. The transgender movement must observe the same limits on the scope of its ambitions that every movement in a liberal, pluralistic, democratic society must observe. If such limits rule out most of the movement's demands, it reflects the illiberal, undemocratic, and authoritarian nature of its demands which therefore must be refused."
