It's impossible for a person to be "born in the wrong body". Biological sex (♂️ or ♀️) is based on objective facts. Gender Identity (if it even exists) is based on subjective feelings. Gender Dysphoria is a psychological disorder. Autogynephilia is a sexual fetish. #SexNotGender

BREAKING: Boys have been given until September 6 to leave the Girl Guides. Language matters.

@NadiaWhittomeMP Efforts to narrow the definition of womanhood to include men, expand sex to any gender, and reduce women to outdated gender stereotypes don't protect women - they harm us. Attacks on women's rights should be stopped. We must stand in solidarity with biological women and girls

@Andreia_O_Nobre Happy Birthday Andreia! 🎂

Massive bummer after such a buzz at the Geneva Book Fair. Fell ill with whatever my kids had for most of March so celebrating Spin 49 around the sun today will be tricky. My birthday cake tonight will be passion fruit cheesecake though 🤣

US billing data: most kids desist/detrans in 7 years. German: most kids desist/detrans in 5 years. Yet people claim 1% detrans rate? 🤡

This is a great listen, and also a true insight into a commonplace presenter framing, to which Ella’s (appropriate) response was:- we need accuracy and facts, not appeals to girls to be nice. Kait Borsay is a super presenter but if you want to hear a ‘middle ground, be kind, true trans’ narrative it’s here in action. It was picked apart awfully well but this is the pernicious framing that drives so much legacy media coverage. Shouting at them just generates tone-policing. It has to be dissected every single time. Recommended listen.

Excellent form @Ella_M_Whelan kicking back on the assumptions that single sex orgs like Girl Guiding should be defined by the feelings of a minority & that it's OK cos girls don't mind...

“They know the kids are starving. They agree with it.”  US journalist @AbbyMartin tells Declassified UK that Israeli society has been overwhelmingly genocidal since long before October 2023.  “They’re not indoctrinated in the sense of, let’s say, North Korea. They know exactly what's going on,” she says. “They have more honest media than the US.”

The child who was subjected to torture (including having cigarettes extinguished on his body and a metal rod inserted into his feet in front of his father)— In a delayed video released by the occupation, the moment of his handover to the International Committee of the Red Cross is documented in the “Yellow Line” area east of Gaza, days after he was detained along with his father. During his detention, he was subjected to severe abuses, while his father remains imprisoned by the occupation to this moment.

@_ConnieShaw The "empathy" you are talking about is what drives young women to say "let them all in" when it comes to young men from around the world who want to claim asylum in the UK, or mentally ill men who want to use female toilets and changing rooms based on their "gender identity".

Women and girls are conditioned to ‘be kind’. Often, ‘being kind’, when translated into politics, results in being favour of sacrificing not only your country’s but your own personal safety in the name of being empathetic and kind. You get thrown out of social groups if you don’t go along with ‘being kind’. This is what I’d consider to be a form of toxic femininity, having once been part of it myself and now on the receiving end of it. Carol Vorderman’s response to me, telling me to ‘shut up’ and calling me a ‘complete idiot’ and a ‘disgraceful fool’, for expressing this view is ironically quite vindicating.

@Fredayesthatone @_ConnieShaw Here is an example of what Freda means when he says "respectfully debate": "When I fuck men with my female penis in fetish clubs, that is my choice." youtube.com/watch?v=Va3i-_…

@_ConnieShaw @_ConnieShaw I would like to respectfully debate you on this issue if you are able to stop demonising me for one moment and read the things I have written on the incremental attack on transgender idenity. Im not dogmatic. We agree on some points and not on others.

lol

@carla_denyer @WeAreQueerAF We're constantly told by the trans community that gender=/=sex, so what "healthcare" do they need? Interrupting a natural developmental process in physically healthy children is not healthcare. Inverting a penis is not healthcare. Removing healthy breasts is not healthcare.

@carla_denyer @WeAreQueerAF 500 winters agone with no trace of ‘trans children’…only people like you telling children they are ‘born in the wrong body’ thus needing a drug that prohibits the natural progression of their own bodies.

BREAKING NEWS: IT IS CONFIRMED THAT VIVIENNE TAYLOR IS SERVING HIS SENTENCE IN DOWNVIEW - A WOMEN'S PRISON. Officials are saying no need for ministerial sign-off as he is not in general population. WTF?? (Link in replies)

Things that are harmless for children: Dressing up as the opposite sex, pretend games about being the opposite sex. Things that are harmful to children: Social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, "gender affirmative" surgery.

Transgenderism: a cult created by sexologists and sexually pathological men, substantiated by governments / WHO / UN, which allows predatory men to commit fraud and identity theft by altering their legal documents — and empowers the same men to legally terrorize women.

Many still believe that immediate "gender affirmation" is the only compassionate path for a child in distress. However, a massive longitudinal study from Germany (Bachmann et al., 2024) proves that this "care" model is built on a foundation of shifting sand. doi.org/10.3238/arzteb… By tracking nearly 14 million young people over a decade, the researchers found that the "affirmation-only" route ignores a critical biological reality: adolescence is fluid, not fixed. The Evidence the "Affirmers" Ignore: • The 72% Desistance Rate: In the largest group of concern—females aged 15–19—72.7% of those diagnosed in 2017 no longer had a gender diagnosis five years later. If we "affirm" a child with permanent medical interventions, we are interfering with a condition that, for the vast majority, resolves on its own within five years. • Explosive, Unexplained Growth: Diagnoses skyrocketed by 800% in just ten years. This isn't a natural biological shift; it's a social and clinical phenomenon that demands skepticism, not immediate medicalization. • The Complexity of the Child: Over 70% of these minors were already struggling with documented issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, or autism. When we "affirm" a gender identity first, we risk masking and neglecting the underlying mental health struggles that require real help. The Call to Action: Stop the Medicalization of Minors This study is a wake-up call. The truth is that "affirming care" is often a fast track to life-altering medical consequences for a condition that the data shows is temporary for most teenagers. We must stop treating temporary adolescent distress with permanent medical solutions. It is time to return to a model of careful, paced assessment that prioritizes the long-term physical and mental health of the child over the immediate demands of an ideological "affirmation" model. Our children deserve a childhood free from irreversible medical experiments. Follow the data. Protect the children. Speak the truth. Don’t just take one study’s word for it. The evidence for adolescent desistance and the need for caution is backed by major health reviews worldwide: • The Cass Review (UK, 2024): A comprehensive independent review concluding that the evidence for pediatric medical transition is "remarkably weak" and calling for a holistic, therapy-first approach. Read the Final Report: [ARCHIVED CONTENT] Final Report Cass Review webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20250310… • The Dutch "Life-Span" Study (Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2024): Researchers followed over 2,700 children for 15 years and found that "gender non-contentedness" is common in early adolescence but decreases significantly with age. View the Study Details: link.springer.com/article/10.100… • Swedish National Board of Health (2022/2024): Sweden, a pioneer in this field, has officially pivoted away from hormones for minors, citing a lack of evidence and the high rate of desistance and comorbidities. Read the Swedish Policy Shift: socialstyrelsen.se/en/about-us/ne… • The Finnish Medical Guidelines (PALKO/COHERE): Finland now prioritizes psychosocial support as the first-line treatment, noting that identity development is a natural part of adolescence that should not be medicalized.

The puberty blockers clinical trial must be stopped to protect vulnerable children from irreversible harm.

This is so wrong. Sexualizing any child is wrong.
