@CarolZ49968885 @JulieLovesFluff And drug use

@JulieLovesFluff They ask about sexual activity.

I took my 11 year old to her checkup this morning and the nurse asked me to step out of the room for a moment. I politely declined and she said, "It's just for a moment." And I told her, "No thank you, given all the stories about children being abused my husband and I decided to never leave our children alone with anyone, even medical providers. Anything you need to do or say you can do with me in the room." She looked all miffed and just left, no idea what her plan was but she didn't feel the need to continue it with me present and that makes me even more suspicious?? When she left my daughter thanked me for not leaving, she's already shy about the doctor, her eyes got so wide when the lady asked me to leave.

@entelechiada @IterIntellectus Cry it out is a no-go BUT I saw a facebook post of a woman who does attachtment parenting. She coslept with her 14 month old, and the 14 month old woke up like 10 times a night. Sounds like a pass to me.

@IterIntellectus attachment parenting for the win

"sleep training" a newborn means letting a defenseless baby scream for its mother in the dark until it's either exhausted or has given up on life. the attachment literature is clear that before 6 months, a baby crying with nobody coming learns exactly one thing, that calling for help doesn't work and you even have parents bragging about how they tortured their kid into an 8h sleep you need to attend to every need of your child. they don't have a prefrontal cortex able to understand what's happening. if you love them and care for them, they'll barely cry, and when they do there's a clear reason you can address right away

@Rich_Cooper I think that your son should come first...but your husband shouldn't be neglected. I'm curious as to the husband's experience. It sounds like she asked a question and wasn't ready for the answer and he saw an "out" and took it

I'd love to hear her husbands side of the story...

@ClownWorld I get not using pronouns. I don't understamd why you wouldn't use someone's name, though.

@speakoutsister Sex seggregation for certain purposes is totally normal and justified. Stop pretending to care about women just so men can keep forcing themselves in women's spaces. All these men care about is themselves and their sick need to be among women.

We're now in a position in the UK where people who claim to stand up for women's rights are arguing that women are naturally inferior to men in almost every aspect of human endeavour and that the only solution is sex segregation. Welcome to Gilead.

@ThomasSowell Isn't it EXACTLY the predators that go for anything that walks? Not saying that she's ugly I'm just saying that the psychos who rape go for the vulnerable no matter how attractive they are. Also she's conceited.

I’ll just leave this video here.

@jorgleijten @Deta132 @SexMattersOrg @SportSEENuk @WomensRightsNet @sharrond62 @PinchesLynne You live in a world of make believe where if you feel like a thing then you are that thing and any expression of the contrary is hate or -phobic. It's a weakness of the mind

@Deta132 @SexMattersOrg @SportSEENuk @WomensRightsNet @sharrond62 @PinchesLynne This aint common sense. This a result of your transhating crusade against Noa-Lynn van Leuven. It's a shame the PDC has such weak knees.

Resolution at last , I'm drained by all this but commonsense prevails thanks to all who supported me @SexMattersOrg @SportSEENuk @WomensRightsNet @sharrond62 @PinchesLynne special thanks to my partner Paul who got me through the tough times .

@crashonrepeat @Simply_a_word The premise here is that you can't ever tell transwomen apart from real women. Which is hilarious. Also men = dangerous, especially those who force themselves on women by invading their spaces in womanface.

@Simply_a_word This is such a fallacy. Men = dangerous, so a woman who is presumed as trans, is “dangerous” for just peeing, but a woman photographing people in the toilet is “innocent” or doing “self defence”, because “women can’t be predators.”

JK Rowling instructs cult members to try to photograph women using the toilet if they suspect them of being trans, and to circulate the images online as revenge porn. This woman is violent and dangerous. Do not give her your money.

@MuckerWes Lol ofcourse you can😂 That's the reason why TiMs break the bank for ffs in a futile attempt to erase their manly features. And TiW are all shorter than the average man and sound like peripubescent teenage boys. There are rare exceptions but you can almost always tell

The truth is that you cannot tell who's transgender and who isn't in person. You haven't been able to for YEARS, so you think being transgender is new. It means nothing that y'all figure out people are trans online when we have the transgender flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on our profiles. That's not impressive - and y'all STILL get it wrong even then!

JKR told her followers to sexually harass people you THINK might be transgender in the bathroom. If you caught them in a stage of undress, this would also be encouraging revenge porn. Transgender folks are 1% of the population, so who gets sexually harassed most for being trans, especially in person? Majority: Cis women. Transphobia is a danger to ALL women because it's misogyny. Cis women often cannot meet the standard of beauty that misogynists and TERFS set for all women because of masculine traits being deemed "manly."

@MuckerWes Men imposing their presence on women in their private spaces is not sexual harrassment but photographing these men is women's spaces is? Your logic is so weak. Also this wouldn't have happened if these TiMs just kept to the men's. Way to gaslight.

@speakoutsister @stevebridge6519 But then all men could sue for not being allowed to play against women...

@stevebridge6519 Only if they fall within the equality act exemptions. Otherwise they are unlawful sex discrimination against men. Sex is a protected characteristic. That includes men

Hope she sues - for sex and gender reassignment discrimination. Then they will have to prove darts falls under s195 of the equality act.

@LFC_Ava @Righttothe9272 * A man not being allowed to play against women caise he's a man. This is peak male privilege: being a man and forcing people to pretend you're a woman on your say-so

@Righttothe9272 A woman not being allowed to play against women cause she's trans? Quite easy to grasp? I guess not for you terfs

I hate this world so much man. Seeing trans people be targeted over and over again for no logical reason makes me so sad. It's genuinely so depressing seeing the rise of hate and discrimination against us. I'm scared to think about what the future is like for us.

@LFC_Ava Ahh when privileges being taken away feels like being targeted. These guys literally force themselves in women's spaces and want to play victim when we course correct. Peak male privilege 🤣

@Jorninho1908 @RoeliendenOuden Best kinderachtig van jou dat je er niet tegen kan dat een man een man wordt genoemd...

@RoeliendenOuden Echt heel kinderachtig dat je constant hem en hij gebruikt. Geeft echt aan wat voor kansloos figuur jij bent zegt.

Voor iedereen die denkt dat vrouwen zich zo blij tonen uit leedvermaak: dat is absoluut niet aan de orde. We zijn blij met het herstel van de vrouwencategorie zoals die is bedoeld. Ik begrijp heel goed dat het een drama voor hem is, echter een drama dat hij al jaren had kunnen zien aankomen. Er zijn twee darters uit het Nederlands vrouwenteam gestapt om zijn deelname. De Britse Deta Hedman weigerde om tegen hem te spelen en maakte ook elders duidelijk hoe zij hierin staat. Heeft hij nooit nagedacht over de redenen voor deze reacties? Hij wist niets beters te doen dan ze 'conservatieve toxische trutten' te noemen. Eerder heeft Van Leuven verteld dat zijn therapeut hem had aangeraden kritiek op hem niet te lezen. Dat is iets dat ik me hoogstens kan indenken voor een korte periode bij acute stress, echter niet als adequate manier om met de realiteit om te gaan. Hij heeft niet onder ogen willen zien dat hij een man is en mannelijk voordeel heeft in sport. Gezien zijn reactie ("ik word gepensioneerd, het is niet mijn keus") snapt hij het nog steeds niet. Dan zal hij het best moeilijk hebben. Maar vrouwen hebben ook rechten, zelfs in sport. En steeds meer sportbonden gaan op grond van onderzoek over tot het herstellen van de vrouwencategorie: alleen nog voor vrouwen, niet voor mannen. En dus vieren vrouwen feest: Van Leuvens deelname als 'vrouw' aan dartstoernooien heeft lang genoeg geduurd, maar is nu ten einde. #comments" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dartsnieuws.com/pdc/van-leuven…

@BH20255 @RoeliendenOuden Als de realiteit "haat" is, dan ligt het echt aan jou.

@RoeliendenOuden En geen haat? Je zit haar de hele tijd hem en zijn te noemen….

@VoteLewko So she's a single mother who would have left her kids to go on a potentially dangerous trip. What a piece of work

Clementine Ford has announced she will not be taking part in the latest Gaza Flotilla, blaming the global fuel crisis. If only there were a way for sailing vessels to operate without diesel. Ford will be taking part in a brisk walk instead. For Palestine.

@BartsTwitt @marysia4 Juist, dus bij zwaar psychisch lijden is het verstandig om de comorbiditeiten aan te pakken in plaats van over te gaan naar gender affirmation als stap 1

Het Finse onderzoek waar nu overal naar wordt verwezen is methodologisch sterk, maar veel mensen lezen er conclusies in die het helemaal niet trekt. Wat het onderzoek wél laat zien: • Finland volgde alle jongeren die tussen 1996–2019 naar genderklinieken zijn verwezen (n=2.083) en vergeleek ze met 16.643 gematchte controles. • Deze jongeren hadden al vóór hun verwijzing een veel hogere psychiatrische zorgbehoefte dan de algemene bevolking. • Die zorgbehoefte neemt niet af na medische transitie; in sommige groepen neemt ze toe. Wat het onderzoek níet doet: • Het onderzoekt niet waarom die psychische problemen blijven bestaan. • Het maakt geen causale claim dat medische transitie de problemen veroorzaakt. • Het onderzoekt geen contextfactoren zoals trauma, autisme, sociale afwijzing, verwachtingen, wachttijden of kwaliteit van zorg. Kortom: het onderzoek registreert uitkomsten, geen mechanismen. Het laat zien dát de zorgvraag hoog blijft, maar niet waardoor dat komt. Dat is een belangrijk verschil. Wie het onderzoek gebruikt om te beweren dat “transitie psychische problemen veroorzaakt”, leest er dingen in die er niet staan. Wie beweert dat het onderzoek “bewijst dat transitie niet werkt”, doet hetzelfde. De enige harde conclusie is: Deze groep had al zware psychische problematiek, en die verdwijnt niet vanzelf door medische interventies. Onderliggende problemen moeten óók behandeld worden. Dat is geen politiek punt, maar gewoon wat de data laten zien.

Dit soort onderzoek wordt helaas vaak aangehaald door mensen die transfobisch zijn. Open discussie en onderzoek of mensen wel beter af zijn met gender reassignment zou mogelijk moeten zijn, zonder de mensen die dit willen of al ondergaan hebben te veroordelen.

@DaviaFinch @Bernard_Lane If your threshold for discrimination as a trans identifying male, for example, is to be excluded from women's locker rooms, then that's your responsibility to cope with.

@Bernard_Lane Approximately 95% of the distress I currently experience is a direct result of discrimination. As discrimination has grown worse over the years, we should expect to see increasing rates of MH disorders among trans people, regardless of the treatment they’ve received.

UPDATE ON IMPORTANT NEW FINLAND STUDY | Professor Kaltiala has responded to criticism of the Finnish study, which found that mental health may get worse after young people undergo medical gender transition. One critique of the study argues that psychiatric appointments are part and parcel of the gender-transition process in Finland and therefore may not point to serious psychiatric morbidity. In their paper, Professor Kaltiala and her colleagues acknowledged the limitation that their study could not analyse in detail why these patients needed psychiatric services. Asked about this issue, she told me that the healthcare register data used for the study included diagnoses and in-patient periods but not treatment nor information about a patient’s problems related to family life, romantic relationships or work. However, Professor Kaltiala said the young people seen by specialised psychiatric services in her country would have “severe disorders”. These services were focused on “those really in need”, consistent with national criteria for health equity. “In Finland, you do not get admitted to specialist-level services if you don’t have mental disorders at all or [have only] mild disorders and problems,” she said. “Primary-level services are available for needs related to milder disorders and psychosocial difficulties.” She said the gender-referred youth in the new study were much more likely than matched controls to have a history of severe mental disorders, often dating back some years before they reached the gender clinic. “Thus, many developed feelings of gender dysphoria in the context of severe disorders,” she said. “Severe mental disorders during adolescence generally have potential to complicate identity development. It rather seems that feelings of gender dysphoria are sometimes secondary to severe mental disorders.” If it were the other way around, and the mental disorders were secondary to the dysphoria, those disorders would be “expected to subside with medical gender reassignment”, according to the Dutch treatment protocol adopted internationally, she said. But this did not happen in the new Finnish study. Instead, the need for specialist psychiatric services—and therefore the scale of serious mental disorders—increased after medical transition, as the study by Professor Kaltiala and her colleagues reported.

@SkylerShuler @WilliamsPapi87 @SarahisCensored Lol, a plea doesn't always align with what actually happened. Dumb.

@WilliamsPapi87 @SarahisCensored Got caught? This bitch plead guilty… lol

This you?

@LevenePaul49134 @GrahameParkGirl @DrPamGosal By that logic, segregating bathrooms in male and female is sexist in the same way segregating the races is racist. So, if men pretending to be women refuse to share a bathroom with the men who don"t, then the men who DO pretend they're women are the same as racists. Dumb logic.

@GrahameParkGirl @DrPamGosal That's no different to a racist claiming no issue until black people started using 'their' toilets after anti discrimination laws came in! There's been no issue since UK had to bring in Equality Act following Goodwin case- trans people have rights that GC's are demanding removed!

My heart goes out to everyone affected by this disgraceful incident. This is exactly why mobile phones should be banned in schools. It also shows the importance of single-sex spaces, which keep women and girls safe. These are issues I have been raising for a while now, but the SNP still won’t listen. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-…
