It turns out that giving children powerful drugs that harm mental and physical health and bring about visible irreversible changes, and operating on their healthy bodies to destroy natural function, makes them much more unhappy and mentally unwell. How very surprising.

"Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender re-assignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment." Ruuska 2026 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ap…

Of course this 10 yr-old boy can't understand why he must leave Girlguiding, he's been told he's a 'girl' since the age of 6. Girls in the local group were also deceived. Lying to children is not 'kindness' or 'inclusion', it's cruelty. metro.co.uk/2026/03/31/tra…

For more than a decade, schools were told that affirming a child’s gender identity was safeguarding. Now the evidence is forcing many countries to reconsider that advice. 𝗔 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 For more than a decade, many schools were told that affirming a student’s declared gender identity was the safest and most ethical response. Educators trusted that guidance. But the evidence base has changed. Major international reviews — including the Cass Review in the UK, recent U.S. federal health reviews, and the Australian Re: Devin judgement — are now questioning the assumptions behind gender affirmation policies for minors. Schools are increasingly being asked to navigate complex questions about student wellbeing, parental partnership, safeguarding, and legal responsibility. We created this booklet to help. It provides a clear, evidence-based guide for teachers, principals, and school boards on the risks associated with social transitioning in schools, the duty of care educators hold, and how schools can support distressed students without predetermining medical outcomes. Most importantly, it introduces a framework we call Parallel Dignity — supporting every child while protecting truth, privacy, and the rights of others. If you work in education, policy, or child safeguarding, I hope this resource helps contribute to a thoughtful and evidence-based conversation. 📘 Social Transitioning: The Risks & Harms Go to aww.org.au/schoolresources to download a copy for either New Zealand or Australia. #SocialTransitioning More information here: indefenseofchildren.substack.com/p/a-turning-po… @resistge , @ThoseWhoSpeakCC @MoiraDeemingMP , @_davidlimbrick @senatorbabet , @SenSHenderson x.com/cakarena/statu…

Unbelievable that @BootsUK would hand over drugs to children that could permanently sterilise them. They say they're being "inclusive" which suggests political motives overriding patient safety. This is not "compassionate care" it is negligence. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/0…

Moira Deeming was the key author for our In Defence of Children website - some years ago. One of the reasons she got into politics is to fight the ideological indoctrination, hyper-sexualisation and corruption of the education system. We hope whatever choices she makes for her career, she gets the loyalty and support she deserves.

Dear Moira: A Letter of Unfitness You need to leave your workplace. It's toxic. Here's how you can tell: You are not going to learn how to lower your standards to match the level of competency of people you work with. You wake up with a good attitude every day - then idiots happen. You'll never get an award for the remarkable restraint you've shown in not punching the face of deserving liars. You've never filled your kitchen with rats. You've never supported abusers of children - that seems to be the job prescription now, to which you're ill suited. You thought merit mattered more than compliance. You believed principles were negotiable only upward, never down. You keep forgetting that courage is threatening to the comfortable. You won't learn the skill of selective amnesia about your own values. You've never mastered the art of looking away when it counts. You refuse to calculate the cost of your convictions in real time. You thought "serving the community" meant all of it, not just the convenient parts. You keep expecting consequences for the consequential, not just for the principled. You won't train yourself to mistake silence for wisdom. You've never perfected the smile that says "I didn't see that." You thought loyalty flowed both ways. You believed institutions were supposed to be better than this. You are magnificently unfit for this place. (The Victorian Liberal cesspit) Leave. You deserve better. @MoiraDeemingMP @PaulineHansonOz @senatorbabet @TheMilkBarTV @OzraeliAvi @KidsDefence @ThoseWhoSpeakCC @ActiveLesbians @Glinner @womensvoicesau @WomensForumAust

True Teller@TrueTeller2024

In November 2023, a DCF social worker came into my home and informed me that a complaint had been filed by Pastor Aaron Miller alleging abuse and neglect of my “son.” Among the accusations was that I was engaging in so-called “conversion therapy” by showing the documentary What is a Woman and discussing the potential effects of testosterone. I did not deny this. I did show her the documentary, and I did speak with her about how testosterone could affect her life. To me, this was parenting—an attempt to have honest, grounded conversations with my child about irreversible medical decisions and their consequences. But to transgender Pastor Miller, it was framed differently. She labeled it “conversion therapy,” and once that label entered the system, everything changed. DCF ultimately concluded that I posed a risk to my daughter’s safety, including concerns that my presence could contribute to her taking her life. Yet none of that ever happened while she lived under my roof. She was alive, stable, and with me. The fracture between us came after outside intervention, after pastor Aaron Miller and DCF became involved. She cut me off and later started testosterone treatment. Ilene is gone now. And I live every day with that absence, trying to understand how things unfolded in the way they did. Now, in March 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Chiles v. Salazar, holding that so-called “conversion therapy” bans that restrict what licensed professionals can say in counseling sessions violate the First Amendment when they silence certain viewpoints while allowing others. In effect, the ruling reaffirmed the importance of open, honest conversation in therapeutic settings, rather than restricting it under one definition or ideology. In that context, what was once labeled against me as “conversion therapy” is now being reconsidered more broadly as part of protected speech and legitimate discussion. It raises a painful and unavoidable question: whether what was used to justify those allegations was ever truly about harm, or whether it was the framing of ordinary, difficult conversations between a parent and a child. The impact of all of this cannot be undone. It shaped decisions. It created distance. It became part of the chain of events that led to Ilene’s absence from this world. Because now there is only silence where she once was—and a lifetime of questions about whether things could have gone differently if honest conversation had been allowed to remain just that. @libsoftiktok @pittparents @ethical_care @HarmeetKDhillon @POTUS @MattWalshBlog @EpochTimes @realDailyWire @Linda_McMahon @MELANIATRUMP @Peter_Wolfgang @prageru @RepublicansCT @FoxNews @Project_Veritas @DoNotHarm

Johannes M. Koenraadt@johannesmkx·
Now I've heard of two cases of euthanasia where a girl was put in a mental institution and then got raped by the other patients. - Dutch Milou Verhoof (17), euthanized in 2023, raped at age 13 & at 16. Her parents put her in the mental hospital & later called the euthanasia doctor. - Spanish Noelia Castillo Ramos (25), to be euthanized today, gang raped at age 22. Isn't it obvious what this is all about? Girls traumatized by societal neglect, lack of care, and diverse rapists. Their societies are to blame. And perhaps neglectful parents.

Evidence Based Treatment
Evidence Based Treatment@DoNoHarm79·
We cannot in good conscience donate again to the Good Friday Appeal for the tax payer funded Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) until the RCH Gender Service, the largest paediatric ‘gender’ clinic in Australia 🇦🇺, is permanently closed.
Evidence Based Treatment@DoNoHarm79

Damning statistics re the RCH Gender Service obtained under FOI. “The upward trend in the prescription of CSH at RCH is disturbing given that RCH only accepts young people up to the age of 16 years. This means that this service is providing CSH to 14 & 15 year olds”.

Evidence Based Treatment@DoNoHarm79·
‘Gender’ ideology was secretly introduced into Australian 🇦🇺 schools without parents knowledge or consent. Now the truth about what kids have been shamefully exposed to behind closed doors is coming to light and the public is justly outraged and disgusted.

Let's build on this, because AWW has been re-working all policy documents and school materials around this concept for about 18 months now. What is Parallel Dignity: 'Parallel Dignity is the principle that every human being possesses equal and inherent worth, regardless of background, belief, or circumstance. It affirms that rights and recognition must never come at the cost of erasing others. Rather than forcing conformity, parallel dignity calls for respectful, evidence-based accommodations that uphold the distinct needs, esteem, and privacy of all. It provides a framework for resolving conflict by honouring difference without hierarchy - where dignity is not ranked but respected in parallel.' 1/
Resist Gender Education NZ@resistge

Parallel Dignity recognises that all students deserve to be treated with respect but no one is obliged to agree with everything another person believes.

Dr P: 'Transwoman' is a slur. Like the 'N' word.
The lie of gender ideology stripped bare. This psychopathic man thought it was "fun" to ask women whether they had orgasmed whilst being raped.

We know they know gender ideology is supremely unpopular because they change laws for it in secret & without a word of public input. Fun fact: Equality Australia interned in the Giggle v Tickle case specifically against Lesbian Action Group. They’re an LGBTQ org against the LGB.

Thanks Mary. I accidentally deleted the thread, but attached are some excerpts about the importance of executive functioning (brain maturation), from another paper I wrote. People are beginning to realise that IQ gets impacted by PBs, (I'm guessing about a 10-point drop, which is HUGE). But the development of higher level cognitive functions which I have listed here, also get stopped/impaired when PBs are administered. In terms of an individual's lifelong functioning, the loss of these executive skills is actually even more disastrous than a gross drop in IQ. A 10-point drop in IQ might mean a child can never get into university and say, complete a degree. But a significant loss of executive functions means that person will never settle into education and work at any level. And their interpersonal relationships will also probably be shot to pieces. PBs are a neurobiological 'life sentence' for children.
Mary Denis@MaryDenis8591

Very clear piece about brain maturity and identity formation from a Swiss org. Read it alongside @Psychgirl211 's recent excellent thread on identity formation (using sources whose brains weren't fried on genderwoo). Let's stop mutilating children and still maturing young people.
