WOW Social media, gaming, internet in general is so dangerous that is has to be banned for under 16's but anyone from the age of 11 can go to the doctors and be put on puberty blockers, permanently damaging their body according to this ludicrous and pathetic government!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/...ocking%20drugs.


Puberty blockers are dangerous and should only be used in very rare situations, they should not be used because we have a school system focussed on telling boy's, "you are a boy, you are a danger to society" or irresponsible parents telling kids, "you were supposed to be a girl" filling kid's heads with BS information and making them feel like they are wrong for being a boy or a girl.


Now before anyone jumps down my throat, I know there are people who strongly feel and believe they are in the wrong body and there is some medical evidence to suggest that, it's a real thing and not a mental health issue but it's a very very very small number of the people who claim to be "trans" that actually, find themselves with the medical evidence to back it up.

People can say they are what they want, but kid's should be left the hell alone and allowed to grow up to become adults before making any decisions like that, which can do so much damage later on in life when they realise they were wrong, because there are a lot of who change their minds in later life.


Honestly I need to win the lottery and get out of this insanity filled island!!

I don't do the lottery (although the wife does the postcode thing) so I'm still looking for a nice cave somewhere in the Shetlands area. :D

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

QFT.

Except that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of anyone ever having been born in the wrong body. The claim that humans have a gender soul that is distinct from their physical body, and in some cases the gender soul and the physical body are different, is entirely metaphysical. It is a question for philosophers and theologians, not doctors.

People who truly believe that they are a sex other than their embodied reality are either porn-addled fetishists (mostly this is the cross-dressing men), trauma survivors (mostly young women) or gaslit, confused children with munchausen parents. In the middle are the tedious ‘nonbis’ who are generally attention seeking teenagers and young adults who will grow out of it if ignored.

Puberty blockers were designed for the treatment of precocious puberty in young children. They delay onset until the correct age, they are then withdrawn and puberty proceeds as normal, so the child has puberty and becomes a normally presenting adult. When you give puberty blockers to children who are of an age when they are *supposed* to be going through puberty, you cause irreparable damage to their normal physical development. You chemically castrate them and prevent them from developing normal adult bodies. As they grow older you then have to use plastic surgery to simulate adult genitalia in some way, but this does not repair the damage, especially in young girls who have their nascent breast tissue removed.

The detransition stories coming from the USA now - where the medicalisation of this madness got way further than it has here - are absolutely heartbreaking. I simply cannot believe how this batsh*t ideology has so infected supposed adults so badly that they’re allowing this irreversible experimentation on children. Bookmark this thread, because 10-15 years from now, that will be the scandal filling the airwaves, and the next generation of politicians will be the ones shaking their heads sadly and saying ‘if only we’d known’ and ‘never again’ and ‘lessons will be learned.’

QFT.?


In terms of the whole brain thing, I think it's fairly recent but they have found there are differences, as to whether than is because "they want to find something" so do find something or if it's genuinely something different.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8955456/

It's a touchy subject but for less than 0.05% of the global population or less than 0.5% of the global population, the way it's pushed down peoples throats you would think it was for something in the region of 30% of the global population.

Quoted for truth. Means I agree and it’s worth everyone seeing it twice ;)

Unfortunately (for the trans lobby) studies like this one - and including this one - suffer from multiple issues, including the inability of other researchers to replicate results, small sample size and failure to control for other factors, such as, in this case, the sexual orientation of participants. The affirmative language used in the abstract is the first major red flag as to the presuppositions of the researchers who produced this study.

It is fair to say that the very idea of ‘brain sex’ along with others (e.g. ‘hormone sex’) exists so as to attempt to muddy the actually very clear way in which we classify sex in all mammals, including humans. This is not based on measurements of brains, hormones or anything else, it is a simple observation of which of two developmental pathways the body is organised for - and there are only two developmental pathways available, one which produces large gametes, i.e. eggs, the other produces small, i.e. sperm, and the names for these two pathways are ‘female’ and ‘male’.

Other examples exist of people thinking they're something they're not. Obvious one is anorexia, where they think they're fat, when they're not.

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

The Scottish Prison Service has withdrawn its guidance and are removing biological men from the female estate today. This is after claiming this will take careful consideration last week.

One wonders if it’s just a good day to bury bad news for the SNP…

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

The threat of unlimited free Galleons for female prisoners wanting to sue the Scottish prison service might have helped concentrate minds also.

When the history of this bonkers century is written, the name J K Rowling will loom large.

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

After libelling dozens of organisations that campaign for sex-based rights this week, Amnesty International UK is now in the ‘Find Out’ phase, having received a very threatening letter from lawyers acting for Beira’s Place.

Beira’s Place is a rape crisis centre in Edinburgh, founded and entirely funded by J K Rowling. It exists because at the time of its founding, the more mainstream alternative, Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, was run by a man in a dress who loudly and publicly claimed that if rape-surviving women had a problem with this, it was their task to ‘re-frame their trauma’ and nothing to do with, you know, men larping as women hanging around the building.

Anyhow, this charitable effort by Rowling apparently makes Beira’s Place an ‘anti rights’ group, smeared along with Sex Matters, For Women Scotland (you know, the ones who went to the Supreme Court and *won* on this very issue), and dozens of advocacy groups for same-sex attraction, all apparently with shady funding networks and links to far-right Christian conservative groups in the USA.

Amnesty’s boilerplate non-apology and withdrawal of the report 48 hours after it was published isn’t going to save them from a world of pain, which given their ideological capture by the trans cult, is entirely deserved.

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

Another Emploment Tribunal is taking place today by a nurse who objected to having to change in front of a trans doctor, this time her complaint relates to her union, the Royal College of Nursing, for failing to support her:

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

Some fascinating testimony today - senior RCN representative on the stand saying that the union does not have a pro trans/anti gendercritical policy, only for Peggie’s barrister to take him through pages of policy documents and even the merch page on the RCN website (full of RCN progress pride badges, naturally) and putting to him that his claims might be at variance with actuality.

Sandie Peggie claims she was left twisting in the wind by her union, because her union was in thrall to gender ideology. We shall see how the hearing pans out, but her case sounds strong so far.
