"This fearless book [by @abigailshrier] shows how girls’ bodies have become collateral damage in adult culture wars," says @VictoriaPeckham. In 2021 we must explore what drives gender identity theorists to put their ideology above the health & welfare

of children & young people. Gender identity ideologues promote a “progressive” new world where "trans children" skip an essential stage of every human being's physical, psychological & sexual development - puberty. /2
Then these “trans children” move on from puberty blockers to cross sex hormones whose effects are immediate and visible. 98% do @TaviAndPort. More experimentation and no measurable improvement to mental health. /3 https://t.co/gS1rB0E7Ef
And then we see some surgeons who have forgotten their oath to “First, do no harm” or who simply cannot resist the temptation of £/$. They remove healthy organs whose functionality can never be restored. /4
Most children play, dress up, put on make-up & cowboy hats. They use their imagination to try out all sorts of things. We think they're just growing up normally. We believe they deserve protection from a global movement that seeks to force outdated gender stereotypes on all /5
This gender identity movement seeks to erase facts & remove both science & research from discussions on sex and gender. And the most invidious camouflage this movement uses are the words “progressive & kind”. /6
To those who say – oh but this is a welcome release for all those “trans children” who were previously denied their right to be “who they are,” we have two questions: /7
Please explain 1)why there are three times as many girls rushing to treatment, as boys? 2)why it is that research from Jul 2020 tells us "Same-sex attraction was particularly common among natal females, with only 8.5% of those referred to the GIDS describing themselves /8
as primarily attracted to boys. This raises important questions about current societal acceptance of young lesbians even within youth LGBTQ+ culture. It is possible that at least some gender-non-conforming girls come to believe themselves boys or ‘trans masculine non-binary’ /9
as more acceptable or comfortable explanations for same-sex sexual attraction,a kind of ‘internalised homophobia’. /10

So let's focus on fact in 2021. Let's challenge every lie coming from those gender identity lobby groups who promote their cruel, deluded ideology at the expense of children. Let's follow the brave example of @KLBfax and others to expose what has been the scandalous behaviour /11
of those who remained at @TaviAndPort. Let's work together to strive for the best possible longterm health and happiness for all children & young people.#SexNotGender #FactsMatter #StopExperimentsOnChildrenIn2021 /12

Best books I read in 2020

1. Atomic Habits by @JamesClear

“If you show up at the gym 5 days in a row—even for 2 minutes—you're casting votes for your new identity. You’re not worried about getting in shape. Youre focused on becoming the type of person who doesn’t miss workouts”


Good Reasons for Bad Feelings

2. “social anxiety is overwhelmingly common. Natural selection shaped us to care enormously what other people think..We constantly monitor how much others value us..Low self-esteem is a signal to try harder to please others”


The True Believer by Eric Hoffer

https://t.co/uZT4kdhzvZ

“Hatred is the most accessible and comprehensive of all unifying agents...Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a God, but never without a believe in a devil.”


Grandstanding

"if politics becomes a morality pageant, then the contestants have an incentive to keep problems intact...politics becomes a forum to show off moral qualities...people will be dedicated to activism for its own sake, as a vehicle to preen"


Warriors and Worriers by Joyce Benenson

“Across diverse cultures, a man who lives in the house with another man’s children is about 60 times more likely than the biological father to kill those children.”

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):

• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
