Jason Kantor on X - "Earlier this year I worked with a 16 year old teen (a boy) who expressed to me that he wanted to change his gender   During one of our sessions he just blurted out that he had been considering it for the last few weeks and he thought that maybe the root of his struggles were because of his gender   And that changing would perhaps fix all of his problems   I didn’t probe much because it wasn’t my place and its a sensitive area so I could have easily said something that could’ve been misconstrued or gotten me in trouble so I told him to speak with his therapist and mother because they would be able to help more than I could   He had an unfortunate upbringing that included lots of trauma and his father was not in the picture   He was depressed, anxious, and struggling with his executive functions - which is what I was meant to help him with   What I found most interesting about his situation was that for the past year he had cycled through a lot of different “identities”
•He went vegan for a bit
•He joined a socialist / marxist club
•He was really obsessed with a particular video game (can’t remember which - it was really niche)
•He was part of an environmentalist group which tried to combat climate change
He would get super into one of these groups, completely immerse himself in it with every fiber of his being, spend every waking moment obsessing over it, and then it would come to an end and he would move on to the next thing   It goes without saying… I’m no expert but… part of me wonders how much of him wanting to change his gender was more tied in his trauma and wanting something to help him escape that rather than actually having gender issues   And if thats true, even to some degree, I wonder how many other kids/teens are experiencing that and conflate it with wanting to change their gender   There is just so much nuance and gray area when it comes to this topic and we should be able to have a civil, open dialogue, before kids or teens make a decision that will impact them for the rest of their lives
(he never went through with changing his gender)"

EXCLUSIVE: Cal State"Gender" Academic Inspired Pedophilic Fantasy On Castrating, Enslaving Young Boys - "a Professor Emeritus at California State University and a top consultant to the world’s leading transgender health authority directly contributed to an erotic story featuring themes of the graphic mutilation and sexual slavery of children.   In 2022, Reduxx exposed a number of academics for their role in a disturbing website known as the Eunuch Archive, a long-standing forum which hosts nearly 10,000 “erotic” stories of an extreme sadomasochistic nature. In addition to hosting the fantasy material, a discussion forum exists to provide support and community to men who identify as “eunuchs,” and seek to be or are already castrated.  The investigation into the Eunuch Archive began after it was directly referenced in a document drafted by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), an international body which sets the standards for transgender healthcare. In a draft of their Standards of Care 8, WPATH included a chapter on a “eunuch gender identity,” which it defined as men who “wish to eliminate masculine physical features, masculine genitals, or genital functioning.”...   Though members of the deranged forum attempted to remain anonymous, Reduxx was able to unmask some of the top contributors and administrators, learning that at least three of them were academics with direct ties to WPATH.  One, Richard J. Wassersug, has for over 20 years used the alias “Eunuchunique”on the forum. Wassersug was an Honorary professor in the Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences at the University of British Columbia, but has also been affiliated with Dalhousie and La Trobe Universities.  Another, Krister H. Willette, who has been active in the community since 1998, uses the screen name “Kristoff.” While a third, and arguably the most well-regarded member of the forum, was revealed to be Thomas W. Johnson, a professor emeritus at California State University-Chico who has lectured extensively on gender dysphoria and “expanding the transgender umbrella.” Johnson utilized the moniker “Jesus” on the Eunuch Archive and registered with the forum in 2001.   While all three men have direct connections to WPATH and contributed to papers and conferences organized by the association, documents provided as evidence in an ongoing court case have recently revealed that Johnson, the chapter lead for WPATH’s “eunuch” update in the Standards of Care 8, had apparently attempted to suppress internal concerns about the promotion of a ‘eunuch gender identity’.  This revelation comes just as Reduxx has now obtained confirmation that Johnson was directly participating in ghostwriting disturbing fantasies about castrating boys under his anonymous screen name.  One notable example is a story titled “Larry,” which is prefaced as being an “original nightmare by Jesus.” The story is written in an imaginary future where the law allows any adult to “sell himself or herself, or any parent to sell a child over the age of 10.”   The story’s narrator is a pedophilic slave trader who buys “attractive” children from destitute mothers following the abolishment of government assistance. While employing heavily racist tropes, the narrator purchases the titular character, a 10-year-old Black child, from his impoverished mother... using his real name, Johnson has become known for his influence in the push to normalize “eunuch identities.” But his efforts have not been met without some resistance in the medical community, even amongst the WPATH members themselves.  Newly released internal records show that many WPATH members opposed the inclusion of the “eunuch” chapter in the most recent Standards of Care. The records were presented in the legal dispute Boe v. Marshall, taking place in the District Court of Alabama, which seeks to prohibit the medical ‘transitioning’ of minors... The message goes on to defend the Eunuch chapter of the SOC-8 by citing research conducted among members of an anonymous sadomasochistic castration fetish forum. This research, the email’s author notes, were published by WPATH within the International Journal of Transgenderism.  The first paper, published in 2010, establishes “the development of standards of care for individuals with a male-to-eunuch gender identity disorder.” The second paper, dated 2016, calls for “recognition of gender variants outside the binary in WPATH Standards of Care.”  However, despite the stated objections shared internally, the Eunuch chapter was included in the final version of the SOC-8.  Additionally, when WPATH released the SOC-8 in September 2022, the guidelines had done away with specific age restrictions on medical ‘transitioning’ entirely, and reduced the age at which youth could potentially receive “puberty-blocking” drugs, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries."
The "myth" of the slippery slope strikes again

Brianna Wu on X - "Real talk: I think a lot of people would have a better opinion of trans people if trans people on social media were not so consistently mean, condescending and abusive."

Meme - Cathy Young 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 @CathyYoung63: "This ... actually kinda goes to what a number of feminists have been saying about "gender ideology" being fundamentally sexist Imagine if a conservative had said that women warriors weren't really women"
🦖Obsolesence @Obsolesence: "According to the Canadian Museum of History women don't use axes, and if they did they weren't female. And here we see how the country has got itself into the hole it's currently in. 🤪"
"Although 2SLGBTQI+ is amodern term, archaeologists have observed patterns in how men and women were buried. For example, axes are usually found with skeletons identified by archaeologists as "male." But recent reinterpretations of some graves - such as "female" skeletons found with axes - contradict those patterns. These graves suggest that ancient people understood that sex, sexuality and gender identity are more complicated than simply "male" and "female.""

Meme - "Anonymous said
You don't seem to understand: trans women do not have the institutional power to rape cis women. If a trans woman forces a cis woman to have sex with her, that is not rape, and it can never be rape. If anything, that's a positive thing, since the trans girls are getting the sex that cis women have cruelly denied them. And if it happens to underage cis girls, it could help them discover a new gender identity."

Cbucksrules on X - "Homosexuals: "Transgenderism is a mental illness".
Trans cult: "This is what they said about homosexuals back in the day. How dare you do to others what was done to you?"
Homosexuals: That's because in our case is wasn't true. It is true of transgender people. Just like sex changes in clown fish is true for that species but not true for our species.
Homosexuality isn't a mental illness.   Transgenderism, body dysphoria and dysmorphia are mental illnesses.  Clown fish can change sex.  Humans can't change sex.  See how this works?  Something that is true in some cases doesn't automatically make it true for others."
Clearly, if you had your wrongly conviction overturned, you must support all convicted criminals having their convictions overturned, or you are a hateful hypocrite

Biden Judicial Nominee Sent Trans Male Rapist to Female Prison, Arguing Safety Concerns Were Overblown. Now, Sources Say He is Exposing Himself to Inmates. - "A judge nominated by President Joe Biden to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Sarah Netburn, is facing questions from lawmakers after recommending that a transgender, twice-convicted male sex offender be placed in a female prison.  At the time, the judge, Sarah Netburn, dismissed concerns that the inmate's presence there would pose a threat to incarcerated women.   But two sources tell the Washington Free Beacon that the inmate, William McClain, who goes by July Justine Shelby, allegedly exposed himself to female inmates. According to Debra Nizza, a former Carswell inmate released in 2016 who remains in communication with female inmates at Carswell federal women's prison in Texas, an inmate told her that McClain pulled his penis from his pants before a group of female inmates. Nizza told the Free Beacon that an inmate related to her that Shelby told the women his penis was "intact" and still functional before wagging it at the women.  Nizza's secondhand account was independently confirmed by David Hogue, an attorney with the Arkansas-based law firm Hogue Corbitt & Ward, who represents one of the inmates... Netburn made the recommendation over the objections of federal prison officials, stating that concerns his presence would be "traumatizing and possibly dangerous" were "overblown."...   The harassment was reported to prison officials who briefly moved McClain to an isolation unit, according to both Nizza and Hogue. By June 26, however, he was back in the general population...  the facility offers little privacy for women who may want to avoid male inmates. The cells contain four beds and do not have doors, and residents of one cell can see others walking to the toilets and showers...   Moving men into women's prisons and funding their sex-change surgeries has been a priority of progressive activist groups such as Lambda Legal and the Transgender Law Center, both funded by billionaires including George Soros, and the American Civil Liberties Union. Those groups pushed for federal regulations, passed in 2012, to allow cross-sex prison housing. They advocated for—and are defending in court—a California law that lets men move into women's facilities based solely on their gender identification.  Biden ordered federal prisons in 2022 to prioritize transgender inmates' "health and safety" when making housing decisions, even as data show a high rate of trans-identifying males are sex offenders. The U.K. Ministry of Justice reported in 2019 that nearly 60 percent of its male-born transgender inmates were convicted of at least one sexual offense, compared with 3.3 percent of the incarcerated female population and 17 percent of the male population.  Documents from California's prison agency showed in 2022 that one-third of the trans-identifying men seeking entry to female facilities were registered sex offenders.   California taxpayers since 2017 have spent more than $4 million on surgical sex changes and cosmetic "gender-affirming" enhancements, such as laser hair removal, for inmates"

"Kaz Self, a Labour councillor for Southmead, is Bristol's first female councillor to have been elected while openly trans"
The same people who claim that sex and gender are different and that only ignorant people don't know the difference don't know that nowadays you can have females with a male sex

Teachers who use wrong pronouns could face legal challenges, unions warn - "England’s long-awaited first trans guidance for schools was published for consultation in December, in response to an increase in the number of children questioning their gender... A government source said: “The NASUWT is finding problems where they don’t exist. The guidance is rooted in the Equality Act but also other legal obligations schools must meet, including safeguarding, information keeping and premises regulations.   “Fundamentally, the NASUWT has bought into the dangerous ideology of self-ID pushed by the likes of Stonewall and Mermaids. This is exactly why the government’s guidance exists - to give teachers who have been abandoned by their unions a clear set of principles to abide by.”"

Labour moves to ban puberty blockers permanently - "The appointment of Anneliese Dodds as the minister for women and equalities sparked a row this week, with Lesbian Labour, which claims to represent “the voices of lesbians in the Labour Party”, saying Ms Dodds “doesn’t get it”.  JK Rowling, Martina Navratilova and other feminist campaigners hit out at Sir Keir Starmer’s decision to appoint Ms Dodds, who has previously said there are many definitions of a woman.  The decision to pursue a permanent ban on puberty blockers is one of the first decisive steps on trans issues made by the new Government, which is keen to fully implement the findings of the independent Cass Review.  Dr Hilary Cass, the paediatrician who led the review, has said the drugs may permanently disrupt the brain maturation of adolescents, potentially rewiring neural circuits that cannot be reversed. Her review urged giving children “time to think” before sending them down an irreversible path because people were changing their minds up until the age of 25. It led to the NHS stopping under-18s being seen by adult clinics and given cross-sex hormones... The NHS halted all prescriptions of puberty blockers with a view to starting a clinical trial, but there were fears about the number of children accessing the blockers via private online clinics such as Gender GP, which is based in Singapore."

Dr Jordan B Peterson on X - "12 Rules for Monster Moms:
1. Torture your child until he or she is miserable and intolerable.
2. Seduce him or her into adopting a trendy new identity with false promises of love.
3. Proclaim how wonderful you are for  loving your son or daughter despite the burden they have now become.
4. Collect martyr kudos from your circle of idiot friends while they disparage you behind your back.
5. Yell victim loudly when anyone dares object.
6. Celebrate your allyship with the imaginary oppressed.
7. Fill your son with guilt if he protests his impending castration.
8. Scheme with your sadistic friend the butcher-surgeon until he agrees too cut the breasts off your young and could-be beautiful daughter.
9. Work with the local school to ensure that other mothers and their children follow your lead.
10. Cry often with a red face about the prejudice confronting your now-mutilated child.
11. Remind yourself frequently of your superhuman bravery and resilience.
12. Fly the Pride Flag 🏳️‍🌈 proudly and oh-so-publicly."

The frequency of personality disorders in patients with gender identity disorder - "The frequency of personality disorders was 81.4%. The most frequent personality disorder was narcissistic personality disorder (57.1%) and the least was borderline personality disorder. The average number of diagnoses was 3.00 per patient... the prevalence of personality disorders was higher among the participants, and the most frequent personality disorder was narcissistic personality disorder (57.1%), and borderline personality disorder was less common among the studied patients. "
Clearly, this doesn't show that the TRA agenda is anything other than basic human rights
No surprise that mental illnesses are correlated
Comment on trans suicide threats (claiming not that using the "right" pronoun could cost a life being a form of abusive manipulation) "most of, of not all of the loudest ones, have cluster B personality disorders and thats backed up by science.  It's really common for someone with a personality disorder to use threats of suicide as a means of manipulation."

What to Do If an Abuser Threatens Suicide - "Abusers have been known to use threats of suicide as a form of power and control. They’ll convince you that if they commit suicide, it’ll be your fault and how can you live with that? They’ll tell you that if you leave, report the abuse or otherwise don’t follow their wishes, they’ll kill themselves, and you’ll be to blame.  Threats like this are a form of emotional abuse called coercive control. Such statements aren’t cries for help. These suicidal threats are being made to manipulate you into doing what the abuser wants.    “Abusers know that by threatening suicide, they are putting their victims in a position where they have no choice but to respond with care, concern and emotional support,” says clinical psychologist Carolina Estevez...   If your partner uses threats of violence—including suicide—to control you, that’s a huge red flag, even if they never intend to follow through with the threat. Suicidal threats still might be a sign of increasing violence within a relationship...  As for your partner? Ultimately, their actions are not your responsibility.   “Although all suicide threats should be considered serious, it is not the survivor’s responsibility to save their abuser. If someone threatens suicide, it means they need a greater level of care than a partner can provide,” says licensed psychologist Kimber Shelton.   Even if your partner does decide to harm themself, know it’s not your fault."

Colin Wright on X - "This person got a doctorate in psychology by interviewing 1 person—themselves!  The abstract begins: "Hello, darling. Welcome. What follows is an embodied unfurling, stutter, and flow of the intersections of my gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. It’s a tale of one body, throughout four cities, in five parts as an autoethnography."  At the end of the abstract, the author claims the primary psychology literature "does not reflect most of me and therefore has very little place here." The author therefore argues that being "expected to justify experiences, observations, and ideas by citing respectable professionals legitimized by a violent institution" is "an invalidation based in white supremacist epistemic injustice."  So this "violent institution," Point Park University, just gave this person a doctorate in a field that they completely reject and openly mock. 🤡"

Graham Linehan on X - "Rest In Infamy, You Haunted Castle
I only met Neil Gaiman once... One of the unexpected advantages of being cancelled is telling people who took part in my harassment what I really think about their work... I may have asked why he wasn’t speaking out on behalf of JK Rowling, who was undergoing one of her regular cancellations for refusing to pander to the spoilt brats who loved her books but missed their meaning. A big name like his might have shifted the conversation and given her some much-needed support. He might perhaps have persuaded some of his fans to give the matter another look. This was when I assumed people like him acknowledged biological reality but worried about ‘coming out of the closet’, as it were. It took me years to realise that almost every celebrity mate of mine believed, or was pretending to believe, in the fashionable, American mind-cancer of ’gender’. But back then, I was still astonished to find that he was a carrier of the virus, the mass delusion that by sheer coincidence, turned up after the arrival of the Internet. Whether it was Bill Bailey or Neil Hannon, Robin Ince or Matt Lucas, Arthur Mathews or Jimmy Mulville, it was always the same story. A sudden cloud of amnesia would form around my celebrity mates, a real peasouper, from which they suddenly could not see why we need female-only spaces, or why unhappy teenage girls will not find a miraculous cure for their woes in a double mastectomy. Far from sharing any of my urgency in the need to stop children from being irreversibly harmed in gender clinics, they instead downplayed, deflected and dismissed. “I never ask you to join in with my animal activism” grumbled Neil Hannon on one of the occasions I begged for his support. “Couldn’t you pretend women and children are animals?” I thought. My usual trajectory during these conversations saw me shifting from gobsmacked disbelief to fury and despair. The disloyalty made me angry, but knowing my friends did not care about their own daughters, wives, sisters and mothers was, and continues to be, destabilising in the extreme. Gaiman went one step further. I can’t find the tweet, so I may be paraphrasing, but he said "I hope you're kinder if your daughter ever hopes to transition." I can think of no uglier thing to say to a parent. For girls, ‘transition’ means double mastectomies in their teens, hysterectomies in their mid-twenties, early menopause and a four times greater chance of having a heart attack than males of the same age. To have this decaying goth wish that horror on my daughter was more than I could bear. I wanted to rip his throat out. Like a pair of grappling cowboys falling off a rooftop, our fight spilled into email. I sent Gaiman this article about the Tavistock . It was clear when he wrote back that he hadn’t absorbed it Like most celebrities in this fight, he appeared to have lost the ability to read... The piece was right there, detailing exactly what was happening to the children unlucky enough to wander through the Tavistock’s doors, and he chose to repeat that disgusting thing. Why?... A few years back, I wrote about becoming a sort of Jessica Fletcher figure on Twitter . ‘Murder, She Wrote” but with paedophiles and predators. “Just as murderers seemed drawn to any location Jessica presented herself, “ I said. “My opining about women's rights and safety on Twitter appeared to attract the kind of men who can't sit still during a spelling bee.” Among my adversaries was Peter Bright, the Ars Technica writer now doing twelve years for trying to buy two children to abuse. Luckily the children didn’t exist and the parents were actually FBI agents. Our exchange was brief and concerned safeguarding. I’m sure you’re all astonished to discover that he was against it. Then there was ex-Labour MP Eric Joyce, who argued with me about the safety of mixed-sex loos in schools and was done for possessing the worst kind of child abuse images. More recently, I tangled with ‘Lexi’, who is now serving time for rape . They all had one thing in common. They couldn’t leave alone those of us who were actively opposing the trans movement's assault on safeguarding, an assault that chimed nicely with their plans for the future. Each was returning to the scene of a crime not yet committed, each picking at a scab on their own character...  During my Jessica Fletcher period (a period which continues) no-one except Gaiman ever mentioned my kids. I think he knew it would cause me distress, and the second time he said it was just a twisting of the knife. Many of my colleagues in the media joined in with the trashing of my reputation, but Gaiman went that extra mile. I believe this is because he is a sadist. I think he is a man who finds pleasure in the suffering of others, and a man who does not see women and girls as fully human."
Interesting hypothesis about why TRAs are so vicious

Australian "Trans Inclusive" Football Club With FIVE Male Players Dominates Women's Leagues After Being Accused Of Injuring Female Players - "An Australian football club for “self-identified women and non-binary people” has been dominating women’s competitions, just weeks after concerns were raised about the safety risks to actual female players. The Flying Bats Football Club in North Sydney has at least five males who identify as transgender on the team, and has previously been accused of causing career-changing injuries to female competitors... one of the five men on the women’s football team is trans activist YouTuber Riley Dennis, who was previously accused of severely injuring women while participating on another women’s team in the region. But the Flying Bats attracted even more controversy earlier this year after audio recorded during a March 20 meeting of the North Sydney Football Association was leaked... “One of our players rushed over to try to help her, she was screaming in so much pain. At that time, she made a derogatory remark to the Bats player, which we apologized for. [She was] suspended. The Bats player, nothing happened to [him].” Parisi clarified that following this incident, the female player who was injured was suspended from matches for a total of eight weeks.  Parisi further revealed that 24 women had recently withdrawn their registration with his football club as a “direct result” of the possibility of competing in a match against the males on the Flying Bats team. “They’ve all said to me, ‘Frank, we do not want to play against the Bats players.’ I’m going to say it straight, there’s men playing in a women’s competition. And that’s wrong.”... Parisi also noted that there had also been some anxiety surrounding “how implausible it had become for any team to win against the Flying Bats.”  That implausibility appears to have been accentuated over the past few weeks, as the Flying Bats has dominated the leaderboards in every single match they have had since April 7. In 10 of the 13 matches the played during this time, the all-female teams have not been able to score a single goal against the Flying Bats...   “If there was a concerted effort by teams to forfeit games against a particular opposition that would be viewed as an act of discrimination,” said Chris Salmon, Chair of the Board of Directors for NWSF."
