Links - 16th February 2026 (2 - Trans Mania)

Read some Piaget please! on X - "Kohlberg: sex-role development
Trans activists often misquote Kohlberg, claiming that once children reach “gender constancy” (6–7 years) they reliably know they are transgender. This is the exact opposite of what Kohlberg found. Kohlberg’s three stages (1966) describe how children come to understand biological sex as permanent:
1.Sex-role labelling (2-3 yrs): Can label “boy/girl” from clothes/hair, but believe sex can change with appearance.
2.Sex-role stability (4-5 yrs): Understand sex stays the same over time, but still think it can change with behaviour or clothing.
3. Sex-role constancy (6-7 yrs): Full grasp that biological sex is fixed and unchangeable, regardless of clothes, wishes, or activities. A boy in a dress is still a boy.
Once constancy is achieved, children actively self-socialise into behaviours that match their natal sex because they now cognitively understand it cannot change. Kohlberg explicitly tied this to Piaget’s concrete-operational stage. Also he never used the term “gender identity” — he wrote about biological sex and sex-roles.  True sex-role constancy is the cognitive milestone at which children reject the idea that cross-sex behaviour or feelings can make them the opposite sex. Claiming it proves a child “knows they are trans” and have a 'gender identity' is a deliberate inversion of Kohlberg’s theory."

Janet Murray on X - "Some women don’t mind having intimate medical procedures carried out by male clinicians - or by men who identify as women.  Some don’t mind sharing toilets, changing rooms or other single-sex spaces with men.  Some don’t mind men competing in women’s sports or taking women’s awards in business, sport or the arts.  Some don’t mind being described as “chest feeders,” “birthing people,” or “ovary havers.”  Some don’t mind men’s feelings being prioritised above their own comfort, dignity or safety.  If any of this applies to you, that’s your choice.  But your comfort does not override other women’s discomfort. Nor does it erase women’s legal rights to single-sex spaces, services, sports or sex-based language.  And if you’re a man who thinks you have the right to tell women what they should think or feel about any of this … that’s your choice too.  But remember: women’s rights and their boundaries are not yours to override."

Sall Grover on X - "“Why don’t more women athletes speak up?” This is why 👇 When World Surf League was putting a man in a bikini in the woman’s category, they made women surfers sign a contract saying they would say nothing negative about it or be fined $10,000."

Trans women not a risk in changing rooms, says NHS tribunal judge - "A transgender doctor’s use of a female hospital changing room was not “inherently unlawful”, a tribunal has found, despite the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman.  Sandie Peggie, a nurse, was suspended by NHS Fife after complaining about having to share a changing room with Dr Beth Upton, who was born a male but identifies as a woman.  After submitting a formal claim to an employment tribunal against NHS Fife and Dr Upton, a judgment on Monday found that Ms Peggie had been harassed by the health board.  However, her claims for sexual harassment, belief discrimination and victimisation were dismissed, with the judge ruling that it was lawful for Dr Upton to use the changing room until Ms Peggie complained. Ms Peggie’s solicitor said on Monday night that the judgment appeared to undermine the Supreme Court ruling in April that trans women are not women... His ruling also said there was “very far from sufficient reliable evidence” to show that biologically male trans people posed a “greater risk” to women in female changing rooms."

The trans lobby are determined not to obey the law - "The Sandie Peggie case shows why the Supreme Court was right to make clear last April that, in law, a woman is defined by biological sex. But it also suggests that some institutions, instead of upholding the law, are attempting to resist it. On Monday a tribunal in Fife undermined the Supreme Court’s authoritative interpretation of the Equality Act 2010 by ruling that a transgender doctor had a right to share a women-only changing room with a female nurse. Now it has emerged that the judgment in this case may have been flawed because it allegedly used an AI-generated fake “quotation” as part of its justification in rejecting Ms Peggie’s claim of discrimination.   Judge Kemp appears to have relied on an AI “hallucination”, which distorted the landmark Maya Forstater case to claim that the Equality Act does not give “precedence” to a woman over a trans person. Yet the Supreme Court did indeed rule that “woman” in the meaning of the Act is defined by biological sex, not self-identified gender. So a women-only space is solely for biological females.  The Sandie Peggie case has brought the legal apparatus into disrepute. Quite rightly, Ms Peggie has lodged an appeal."

Rebel Ada on X - "Incredible. The only longterm outcome study of trans people I read +understood immediately 5 years ago. The phrase “retain male patterns of criminality” was burned on my brain. If I can read + understand it, how did Judge Kemp believe and publish that it meant the exact opposite?"
Grim Walrus on X - "Also, if I recall correctly, the study referred to post-op trans ID males. The male in the Peggie case has had no surgery. Based on Ministry of Justice rates of trans incarceration for sex crimes, he was potentially more likely to be an abuser than males generally."

Children taking DIY cross-sex hormones before going to gender clinics - "Fiona said: “It’s like a Breaking Bad bathtub operation [the home meth labs in the hit American TV drama]. “What’s so terrifying is they don’t even know what they’re injecting.”... “They either won’t tell us where they’re getting the hormones, or they’ll say they’re getting it from friends who are being prescribed legally and they’re sharing them. Some have told us they are getting them from illegal websites that sell anabolic steroids to weightlifters. Others say they get them from their drug dealers along with their ketamine.”... When young people later change their minds about being transgender it can have stark repercussions. Anna, a 21-year-old from London, has been left with a deep, gravelly voice after taking testosterone for about a year at the age of 17. “It is heartbreaking to hear,” her mother, Helen, said. Anna had decided she was trans at the age of 13 at a private girls’ school in London. She had been bullied but her new status suddenly saw her one of the most popular pupils. “She got into the party set,” Helen said. By the time she was 17 she was sneaking out at night and, Helen later discovered, taking drugs. Her dealer was not just passing her cannabis, ketamine and MDMA, but also testosterone. Helen discovered this only when she found a vial and needles in her room. Anna later stopped taking the drugs, identifies as a girl again and regrets experimenting with the drugs. For Fiona, the nightmare continues. Hugo has dropped out of his A-levels and his relationship with his parents has disintegrated. “It is cult mind-control stuff,” Fiona said. “They believe that the person trying to protect them from harm is their abuser. And online, people are saying to them, ‘We are your real friends, we are your real family.’” The authorities have not helped. After discovering her son’s drugs, Fiona called the police, but they said there was nothing they could do. “They implied that we somehow were being abusive for trying to withhold urgent life-saving medicines,” she said. Fiona added: “You just feel like your child’s being stolen from you, and the person you once knew is being replaced with a stranger. You still love the person inside, but it’s really hard, because they seem to be reading out someone else’s script. It is so frightening.”"
Left wing logic will be that kids will find a way to get the hormones anyway, so the state should just give it to them anyway

Lozzy B 🇦🇺𝕏 on X - "What kind of dystopian propaganda is this?   The Australian Government says Social media is as dangerous as Alcohol & Cigarettes but puberty blockers & cross sex hormones that destroy young healthy bodies is fine.   Oh & radical leftist Bluesky is fine too. The TQ+ echo chamber that promotes pedophilia 🤔  They also allowed pedo’s & child killers to access ‘Working with Children checks’ to work with vulnerable children too. Many, many children were harmed.  They still haven’t reformed the system either but they say they want to ‘protect the kids’.  Yep 🤨"

Jamie Reed Whistleblower on X - "Running an LGB non profit in the United States daily exposes how entrenched trans is. It is not just the drop ship companies, or google, or sticker printers- it is baked into the entire donation, grant, money stream as well.   We have a profile on a national site that allows donors to resource non profits. We will never reach Gold Status unless I am willing to share the TRANSGENDER STATUS of our board and leadership.   That is not going to happen, because it is complete and utter bullshit."
Wesley Yang on X - "The institutional takeover has never been so rapid or complete. We built out a deca-billion dollar donor funded machine pledged to propagating and enforcing harmful delusions that millions depend on for their livelihoods, that moves in lockstep, and that is far larger than the Democratic Party from which its electoral figureheads are drawn."

Libs of TikTok on X - "HOLY SHIT. Netflix allowed a Transgender activist to tweet on their OFFICIAL ACCOUNT to promote the show “The Baby-Sitters Club," which pushes TRANSGENDERISM on KIDS. @Netflix is DIRECTLY promoting the transing of young children. DISGUSTING CANCEL NETFLIX"

Seasonal Clickfarm Worker on X - "Transgender is something that somehow has been treated as though it were a “medical condition” when in fact it is a religious idea about the relationship between the spirit and the body
Transgender rights should conceived not under the rubric CNN of right to medical care, or the rubric of freedom from discrimination on the basis of sex, but rather within the rubric of freedom of religion."
expatanon on X - "The mistake here is that it gives protection to youth "transitions" as part of a religious practice. "We have a first amendment right to give our child lupron and remove their genitals; these are our sacred rites.""
Seasonal Clickfarm Worker on X - "It seems like the analog would be female genital mutilation, which is not legal in the US"
Hunter Ash on X - "Doctors have no idea how or why transition is supposed to work. They are all deferring to some imagined consensus of greater experts. But that doesn’t exist. We have some ideas about what causes gender dysphoria, but there’s no really robust evidence that the existing treatments alleviate it. There’s no solid mechanistic theory. There’s no solid clinical evidence. It’s presented as settled science when all we have are confounded survey data that would be dismissed in any other context. The whole thing was made up out of air."

Diana Alastair💚🤍💜 ⚢ ❌❌ on X - "This man, “Gabrielle” Darone, spent 9 months simulating a pregnancy, including feigned morning sickness and the wearing of a fake belly, with the intention of play-acting the loss of the imaginary baby. He also joined a support group for grieving mothers who had lost children, seeking validation and “support” for his planned “stillbirth.”   He even went so far as to rent a machine that simulated contractions, and bought a plastic “baby” which he inserted into his rectum and then “gave birth to.”   Women who objected to his presence in the group - women who had actually lost children - were kicked out so that this man could feel supported in his game of let’s pretend. Their very real grief was considered less important than this man’s sexual fantasies.   To top it all off, he did all of this in the house he still shared with his unconsenting soon-to-be-ex-wife and their minor children. He even roped his 7 year old into taking “maternity pictures.”   Mr. Darone also convinced his doctors to provide him with drugs to induce lactation. He asked the members of an online breastfeeding group he’d joined if any of them would be willing to let him “breastfeed” - that is, sexually assault - their babies, and attempted to donate the chemical-laced sludge he pumped out of his moobs to “other mothers.”  These men have proven over and over again that there is no aspect of women’s pain that they will not twist into a prop for their sickening deviancy, from rape to oppression to sexual objectification.   Even the loss of a child in the womb is fair game to them: a perverted, selfish, hyper-sexualized game of make-believe that must always take priority over the real pain and real needs of real women."

Wall Street Apes on X - "The UK is finished UK Resident “I now have a criminal record because I wrote in the Critic magazine that my stalker was a man. Because he is a man. But the police said that misgendering him was contrary to the Online Safety Act because it was spreading false information” A criminal record for misgendering…."

Commuter on trial for pushing security officer at train station over bag screening, causing head injury - "A commuter who was asked to stop for a bag screening at a train station allegedly refused to comply and instead shoved the Certis Cisco security officer, causing the 65-year-old woman to fall and injure her head.  Alina Meridian, 31, claimed trial on Monday (Sep 22) to charges of voluntarily causing hurt to Madam Cindy Tay Jui Hwa at Lorong Chuan MRT Station on the morning of Aug 17, 2024 and using threatening behaviour by shouting and gesturing aggressively at Mdm Tay's colleague.  Meridian was unrepresented and brought along a stack of documents meant for defence purposes.  Although listed in charge sheets and court records as male, Meridian told the court that if "I will be misgendered, I would prefer you use my name". Thereafter, the judge referred to Meridian as "Alina"... "So after a while, I saw a madam with lipstick coming in with a bag, so I requested her to go for the screening," said Mdm Tay, referring to Meridian.  "So I requested her to go for the screening, however, she kept walking and I thought she ... couldn't hear. So near the gantry, I tapped on her shoulder and (told) we wanted to screen the bag," said Mdm Tay.  "But she turned into a rage and threw the bag on the floor and (insisted) we pick the bag if we want to scan her bag."  She said Meridian was "shouting in a rage and scolding us," and she tried to ask her to pick the bag up and have it screened.  "However, without a word, he just pushed me and I fell on the floor," said Mdm Tay. She later clarified that Meridian had earlier said that "he's rushing and we are delaying him".  After falling backwards on her head, Mdm Tay said she felt a big bump on her head and wetness that turned out to be blood... When it was time for Meridian to cross-examine, he asked Mdm Tay: "So you are a senior security officer, but you don't know de-escalation tactics?"  Mdm Tay said she did not know what Meridian meant.  "You are not a beginner security officer, you are a senior member, and you don't know how to de-escalate things? But instead (chose) to escalate to a point where I went from impatient to pissed off and impatient," said Meridian.  Mdm Tay repeatedly said her duty was just to screen the bag, and that she would not touch commuters' possessions as they belonged to the commuters.  "Your duty is to screen the bag, but as a senior security officer, I would expect, you to know at least de-escalation tactics, which is to pick up the bag and help to move things along instead of standing there, escalating things," said Meridian.  Meridian added: "What's the point of having a senior security officer if you can't even do such a thing."  At various points, the judge or prosecutor interjected as Meridian was not asking proper cross-examination questions but instead making comments. "Fine. So, then I guess it's my fault, you know, I should have called the police for transphobia," said Meridian.  When directed by the judge to ask questions of the witness instead, Meridian said: "So you can't help me do your job, but you can make me late for my appointment on that day."  The prosecutor said she still did not understand what the question was.  "She chose not to help me, and I'm late for that day," said Meridian, adding that he had stopped doing the job he had. "And so I have stopped doing it, and now I have no more money and this is entirely her fault," Meridian said.  Meridian then had an exchange with Mdm Tay, where Mdm Tay repeatedly said it was the duty of the commuter to comply with instructions and to pick up their bags and have them screened, and not for officers to pick up the bag when it was thrown on the floor.  Meridian shrugged and said: "So the reason you did not de-escalate the situation and caused it to be worse is because I have to do it for you and then you wonder why I got angry. I don't understand why there (weren't) de-escalation tactics."  Meridian added that he was a former security officer and found it "baffling" how a senior security officer did not know de-escalation tactics. "No further questions. Maybe I just take another exit next time when I see security officers, since this is the answer that I'm getting, which is that they will not de-escalate situations but instead choose to escalate situations," said Meridian."
Mandatory treatment order for man who assaulted security officer at MRT station - "A man, who  became upset with a Certis security officer at an MRT station and assaulted her, was sentenced to a two-year mandatory treatment order on Oct 27.  Alina Meridian, 31, who the judge said was found to have “autism spectrum disorder” and was unable to adjust his behaviour appropriately at the time of the offence, pleaded guilty to an assault charge on Sept 24.  Offenders given a mandatory treatment order have to undergo treatment to address their conditions in lieu of time behind bars."
Too bad Singapore isn't the West, or it would have been let off and the security officer would've been jailed for transphobia

Connor Tomlinson on X - "It's time for a complete and total ban on cross-sex hormones. They cannot change your sex. They turn men with perverse fetishes into derranged bioweapons, and women trying to escape sexual trauma into androgynous osteoporotic goblins. These people need to spend a long time  in an asylum — some of them, indefinitely."
Rohan 🌱🔸️🇧🇷 on X - "Post op FtMs commit 5.6x as much crime and 9.9x (!) as much violent crime as women, going to 4.1x and 7.2x as much respectively when adjusting for immigration status and psychiatric morbidity"
Hunter Ash on X - "Masculinization is a One-Way Street
When female-to-male trans people take testosterone, they become much more violent. But when male-to-females take estrogen and suppress their testosterone, they don’t get noticeably less violent.  This is one of many examples of a general pattern: masculinization is something that either happens or doesn’t to a default-feminine morphology, and once it’s happened it doesn’t un-happen.  Other examples include facial and body hair. When FtMs take T, they grow facial and body hair. If they stop, the hair doesn’t go away. Likewise, estrogen does not get rid of facial hair in MtFs. The same is true of voice: FtMs get deeper voices from T, but MtFs don’t get higher voices from E. I’d bet FtMs experience a boost to athletic performance much greater in magnitude than the decline MtFs see.  This goes all the way down to the embryological level. While we are not all “born female” since we have the sex chromosomes that will differentiate us from conception, “female” is the morphological default. That’s what happens without a surge in androgens. We see this in people with CAIS, who are genetically male but, due to a genetic defect that renders them immune to androgens, develop a female body plan, with their testes located where ovaries would be. They usually don’t learn they are technically male until they fail to menstruate.  This is a fascinating and deep asymmetry between men and women: masculinity is something additional that happens on top of a feminine default."

Mia Hughes on X - "Me: You signed a statement calling “gender affirming care” for youth medically necessary.
Guyatt: WHAT!? That’s RIDICULOUS. I would never say that.
Me: *produces the receipt
Guyatt: Oh, I didn’t read that part. I’m a dope.
Unbelievable."

Forest on X - "“Gender dysphoria never goes away,” they say. “The only treatment is to transition.”  But mine did.  Instead of taking my testosterone prescription, I left social media, went to the gym, went hiking, spent time around people, listened to non woke voices.  My dysphoria went away."

Colin Wright on X - "🚨A peer-reviewed paper in a real journal titled “My pronouns are fuck ICE” argues that universities are colonial, racist, transphobic sites of oppression, and calls for their transformation through “de-stress tea,” “organizational gossip,” and revolutionary “queer pláticas.” One such plática, treated as scholarly data, involves: • Glo, a "trans nonbinary Afro-Caribeñx and Mexican sophomore"; • Toni, an "Indigenous Nahua Cipotx with Salvadoran and Nicaraguan Miskito roots"; and • Mars, a "non-binary Zapotec prietx-alien-femme." Their dialogue includes: • “White people love killing folks.” • “My pronouns are fuck ICE, and my childhood dysphoria is crossing the damn border.” • “I love my dick, and I am a woman, so what?” • “Can I get my diploma and some titties?” • “Titties and citizenship. Don’t forget we need both.” @brad_polumbo and I break down this absurd paper on our latest episode of the Citation Needed podcast (link below)!"

Girls STILL forced to share loos with boys despite schools facing 94 complaints - "Young girls across Scotland are still being expected to share school toilets with boys – as new figures show that councils have received almost 100 complaints and representations about gender neutral loos in the last three years.  Scottish state schools were ordered to provide single sex toilets in a landmark ruling handed down by a judge at the Court of Session in Edinburgh"

I begged my bosses not to let the trans nurse who invaded our changing room take part in my intimate operation. They refused - as they didn't want to hurt HIS feelings - "Karen Danson’s father started to sexually abuse her when she was six. It could have been yesterday, so vivid are the memories... You will have heard of the Darlington Nurses, the eight nurses who are taking legal action against their employers, County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, because they claim they were forced to share a changing room with a male nurse who identifies as a woman, despite still outwardly presenting as a man.  Twenty-six women in total signed a letter of complaint – and in return were told by their own HR department that they were transphobic and in need of ‘re-education’. Their union also abandoned them, openly calling them bigoted.  Their case, a pivotal one in the toxic gender war, is still proceeding to tribunal, even though the Supreme Court has since clarified that, by law, a trans woman is a biological male – and does not have the right to access a women’s changing room. The Darlington nurses who have been publicly identified so far have always said that they took the unprecedented legal action partly on behalf of more vulnerable colleagues who didn’t feel they could speak out – including one victim of childhood abuse who had felt intimidated and terrified by the behaviour of the trans nurse, Rose Henderson, in that changing room. Karen was that terrified colleague. This is her first interview. It was her distress that set the ball rolling in this extraordinary debacle. She broke down sobbing to colleagues after being repeatedly asked by Rose (who was ‘wearing boxer shorts with holes in them, which meant I could see his male anatomy’) why she wasn’t getting changed.  They were alone in that changing room, and she – a sex abuse survivor; the sort of woman single-sex spaces were enshrined in law to protect – was paralysed by fear... ‘Inside I was thinking, “I am not getting changed in front of you, no”, but I couldn’t say anything. Then he gave this smirk, this expression, which was the same one my dad had when he was doing the abuse. He could see I was uncomfortable, and he didn’t seem to care.’  She claims that Rose’s question about whether she was going to get changed was repeated three times. There is a sense of incredulity at her own reaction, now, in the cold light of day. This is a very strong and sensible woman, trained to be assertive when required, yet she went to pieces... the sleepless nights and panic attacks – and pounding heart when she went into the changing room – were affecting Karen’s work... She tells me that last summer, after legal papers had been served and after The Mail on Sunday had broken the story of the Darlington nurses, Karen needed an urgent hysterectomy, after years of problems with endometriosis. It was to be carried out at the Darlington Memorial – where everyone involved worked – but just a few weeks before the procedure she discovered, to her horror, that Rose was scheduled to be on duty in the operating theatre on that day, and would be part of the surgical team. ‘It was a gynaecological procedure, and his role would have been down at that end, passing the consultant the tools,’ she says, incredulous. She immediately pointed out the obvious (as she thought) issue here. ‘I told them that because there was a legal dispute under way, involving Rose, it was a conflict of interest, and entirely inappropriate that he should be involved in my surgery, especially intimate surgery like that... Karen escalated her complaint, putting her concerns in writing. ‘And I got an email back saying that they could not accommodate my request [for Rose to be replaced]. They said they would cancel the operation, and I could go elsewhere. I couldn’t believe it. I needed that operation, and I’d been with my consultant for years. After everything, I felt I was being punished. I said, “I am asking this as a patient”, but they didn’t care.’"
Caroline Farrow on X - "What kind of sadist schedules a man who has known to be sexually intimidating and harassing a woman, to participate in his victim's intimate operation and aftercare?"
