Hi all,
As you've probably noticed, I have been very hard to reach for a while now. I haven't answered my messages or emails, haven't updated my content... Nothing.
I'll try to clear up some things as well as I can in this thread.
1/

This video is full of inaccuracies, lies, scaremongering & gaslighting. Please take a look and report on YouTube, especially the multiple mentions of suicide risk/suicide ideation. Thread below with timestamps of problematic content. Please also

1:17 – talks about transgender children rather than having gender dysphoria.

1:47 – admits he’s not a specialist in endocrinology, paediatrics, psychiatry.

3:04 – gaslighting about free & equal citizens, suggesting there’s a debate about whether they exist as human beings.

3:25 – suggests children should simple have access to whatever treatment they "need" (define need)

4:00 – describes puberty blockers as “pause button” & suggests that once stopped puberty will carry on "in the usual way".

5:18 / 6:10 – promoting brand name prescription drugs.

6:30 - suggests puberty blockers used in transitioning is just the same as use for precocious puberty.

9:11 - one of multiple assertions that people are “assigned" female at birth or "assigned" male at birth.

9:40 - implies that intersex people are not male or female

10:25 - implies chemical intervention is a “natural counter-balance mechanism”

10:49 - “assigned at birth” falsehood again

11:10 - talks about characteristics associated with “gender” instead of “sex”

12:00 – says the way these drugs work is well understood. It is not.

There is no other story that incites more hate then a story about a transgender person participating in sport, with the exception of stories relating to transgender bathroom use or in President Trumps World his hate for transgender people serving in the military.

Let’s remove the words transgender, Laurel, Hannah or Mack Beggs out of the conversation for a minute and let’s look at some of the medical consequences that occur when an XY male suffers low levels of testosterone.
2-

When a man has low testosterone, or hypogonadism, he may experience:
-Reduced sex drive
-Erectile dysfunction
-Low sperm count
-Enlarged or swollen breast tissue
3-

Over time, these symptoms may develop in the following ways:
-Loss of body hair
-Loss of muscle bulk
-Loss of strength
-Increased body fat
Chronic, or ongoing, low testosterone may lead to osteoporosis, mood swings, reduced energy, and testicular shrinkage.

None of these medical consequences are performance enhancing. No castrated XY male has ever broken a world record or even competed at the elite level of sports.

@Nancy_M_K 1/ Most of the people fighting gender ideology, like me, are left wing, pro LGB and also have trans friends. Very few of us are right wing. PLS see the thread below for the sexism and homophobia we are fighting that gender ideology pushes. Thread with examples
1. lesbian erasure

I'm reading Radcliffe Hall.

She has many feelings that modern transmen, female detransitioners, and butch lesbians would recognise.

But to call her a "transman" makes no sense, historically.

I'm reaching for something here, you might be able to help me clarify it.

The existence of the category "transman" depends on the possibility of medical transition.

You can't be a tramsman without it.

You might have all the same feelings, but not have access to drugs and surgeries, and it wouldn't make sense to say you ARE trans.

I want to go back to my Foucauldian academic roots and start talking about the way in which institutions create and forbid desires, identities, enable ways of being. But also, f*ck Foucault, child rape apologist, "bucolic pleasures," no thanks.

How do i say it in words i can believe? Am i back to "trans is not a thing you are, it's a thing you do and it's a very recent, modern solution?"

Ok,i think i have it. Is the desire to say about historical figures "they ARE trans" actually a move to solidify trans as a category?

To say that trans as a category has always existed and that it can exist outside of drugs and surgeries? To give it "depth and weight"?

If you say "x historical figure is trans" you are saying "trans is what you are, not what you do."
