As a gay man who started life as a gender non-conforming boy, believe me when I tell you this: encouraging children to ‘identify’ as the opposite sex is the most textbook example of gay-conversion therapy I have ever seen.

.@Ghostofcynthia I’m gay. Everyone is well aware of that. But... Here's the fucking thing... I’m done pretending I don’t see what the TQIA+ expansion has done to the LGB. We were a coalition built on a shared, immutable reality: same-sex attraction. That’s it. Simple. Concrete. Unapologetic. Lesbians loving lesbians. Gay men loving gay men. Bisexuals navigating both. We didn’t need to rewrite biology or demand that reality bend to feelings. We just demanded to be left the hell alone to love who we love. Then the pluses started piling on, each one bringing new dogma, new demands, new guilt trips. Suddenly the movement isn’t about sexual orientation anymore...it’s about gender identity, endless labels, and compulsory validation of everyone’s internal sense of self. And if you point out that same-sex attraction is inherently exclusive of the opposite sex, no matter how someone identifies? You’re the bigot. You’re the TERF. You’re the one who needs to be educated, shamed, canceled. The psychological sleight of hand is masterful: take a civil rights movement rooted in material reality and subsume it under an ideology that insists reality is optional. Make the gays and lesbians feel like the intolerant ones for having boundaries. Turn “no” into hate speech. I’ve watched lesbian spaces vanish, gay kids get medicalized for being gender-nonconforming, and the word “homosexual” become a dirty word in our own community. I’ve seen young women get called bigots for not wanting dick. I’ve seen the Overton window dragged so far that basic same-sex attraction is now framed as exclusionary violence. This isn’t progress. This is colonization. The LGB fought for the right to exist as we are. The TQIA+ demands we stop existing as we are unless we center their ideology. I’m not here to police anyone’s identity. Live your life. But stop hijacking mine. Stop rewriting mine. Stop telling me my sexual orientation is a punchline or a problem to be solved. The LGB was never about validating everyone’s feelings. It was about defending a reality the world tried to erase. And I’m goddamn tired of watching that reality get erased again...this time by people waving our own flag. Drop the fucking alphabet. 🖤🏳‍🌈

❓Where Are They Now❓ Remember back in 2023-2024 when KIPP Academy in Massachusetts had a 6-foot tall male playing on their "girls'" teams? He took a conference all-star award in volleyball, injured three girls before halftime in a single game in basketball, and broke several records in track and field. Then we learned that he had also been on a "girls" rowing team where he had walked in on a girl changing and gawked at her breasts saying, "Oh, look, titties," leaving her in tears of humiliation? Well, here is Diego "Lazuli" Clark today:

It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't true. And I agree, as a woman, your public positions have been extremely hard to stomach. So, I would be nauseated too if I woke up and discovered I was you, given your very public misogyny. You have consistently sought to deprive women of their agency, their distinct humanity, the reality of the female sex and our universal human rights to free speech and free association. Did you really think you were being kind when you were fighting to redefine women out of our fundamental humanity, overwrite women's identities and override women's rights in life and law through language tricks and dehumanizing slights? You have consistently failed to explain why trans "women" should have the right to choose the sex of their prison cell mates and who they share a rape shelter with while constantly asserting that women should be deprived of their right to choose female-only prisons and shelters from male-specific sexual violence. It is an objectively true statement about your public positions. You have stated very clearly you think a man who claims to be a woman should be able to choose female-only accomodation and that actual female people should be denied the same choice and deprived of female-only accomodations. Are you upset someone has framed in your positions in way that makes you look like a monster? If it's not true that it is your position to deprive women of their legal rights, then all you have to say is: "Men don't belong in women's prisons, rape shelter or any other place that is segregated ny sex expressly for the purpose of protecting female victims of male violence from further trauma and the prevention of male violence against women and girls." Feel free to paraphrase using your own words. But, I'm guessing you'll double down on the dehumanizing and misogynist rhetoric for which you've become known, somehow spin the passage above as bigotry and push people further away from the left and trans acceptance.

A man who insists that men can be lesbians is suddenly terribly worried about our plight. Heartwarming.

I am gay and I don't have any "trans brothers and sisters". Not literally, and not metaphorically. I do not owe fealty to a fetish and mental illness driven social contagion that would abolish my rights and same-sex spaces and that has been bullying lesbians to have sex with men, and gay men to have sex with women.

Breaking news in Australia: ABC's Media Watch has criticised the ABC for bias in its reporting about gender interventions for minors and women's rights to single sex spaces. It's not just bias though is it? The ABC has been a propaganda machine for gender ideology. They have contributed to harming thousands of children. @Mark_Butler_MP @DavidCrisafulli @TimNichollsMP @DebFrecklington @JarrodBleijieMP @MaryAnneThomas

Read this. This is what needed to be brought to a courtroom today, because of Jolyon Maugham’s toxically narcissistic midlife crisis.

This post from @AriDrennen infuriates me. For so many reasons. First, any taking of life is tragic. This is a sad ending for Lia Smith. It is grotesque and depraved of Drennan to use this tragedy to emotionally blackmail women and the public into holding women responsible for a man’s suicide bc they didn’t want to undress with him or let him compete in women’s sports. Women are NOT responsible for the mental health of men and certainly not required to give up their rights and bodies for a man’s emotional well-being. The age-old threat used against women trying to stop abuse, “if you leave, I’ll kill myself”, is exactly what Mr Drennan’s message is. Emotional blackmail is NEVER acceptable, not in elite sport, not in “just D3” sport, not in elementary school. Not in locker rooms at the Y. To tell a young man that he can be accepted as a woman, that he should get to compete against women, that he should be allowed into womens spaces, that he can become a woman - this is setting him up to fail. It is NOT a failure of women to accommodate his desires, it’s a failure of medicine, leadership, and culture for not holding firm the boundaries of reality and helping him figure out how to navigate them. Women are not tools of affirmation for the emotional support of men.

My goodness this is a hard but necessary watch. Do it. The trans lie.

Dear friends & supporters, we need to ask for your help again. We need to raise funds to pay our Court costs next February. Your generosity has amazed us and even the smallest donation can help us fight for our sex-based rights. Donate here lesbianactiongroup.org.au/donate-to-lag

It’s almost amusing to think that public officials thought they could get away with this.

Ten years ago, if a man walked into the girls’ locker room at the YMCA, it was a five-alarm fire. Staff would rush. Police would be called. Parents would be outraged. Today, a 350-pound man with a beard can sit just outside the showers watching naked girls rinse off—and hardly anyone says a word. Not because it isn’t horrifying, but because women and girls have been conditioned to doubt their instincts. To suppress their boundaries. To submit in the name of “inclusion.” A decade of gender legislation has trained women to be like Pavlov’s dogs—flinching, silencing ourselves, learning helplessness every time we’re told that saying no makes us hateful. This isn’t progress. It’s psychological abuse on a cultural scale. We tell our daughters to park in well-lit areas, to carry keys between their fingers, to never walk alone at night, to trust their gut, to speak up if they feel unsafe. Then we turn around and demand they ignore that same instinct in the locker room. That is gaslighting. The long-term cost of this is enormous. One incident of voyeurism can shatter a girl’s sense of safety and self-worth for years. It teaches her that her discomfort doesn’t matter, that her body is public property, and that no one will protect her. When we strip women of their right to boundaries, we don’t create a more compassionate world. We create a more dangerous one.

They genuinely think this helps their cause #OperationLetThemSpeak

They proudly posted this video. They put their own stamp on it. This is people committing vandalism at an upcoming women’s conference. Please report this group. But save the video first.

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days. Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them. However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created. When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said. The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness. Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison? I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges. The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest. Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

I suspect that the whole trans madness will die out in around five years or so, having been finally debunked, scientifically and logically. Then, in years to come, the period 2018-2030 will be looked upon as a total aberration, a period when the political and cultural elites took leave of their senses and tried to impose a crackpot belief system that conflicted with everyday reality. The debate is only going one way.

These are the words I hear people say against the trans community: You can't change sex. Some men cross dress for erotic purposes. People should use spaces for their sex. Don't tell children they're born in the wrong body. What I hear in reply: STFU and Die you terf scum.

This is @IndiaWilloughby's reply on hearing women are having a stall at @TheGreenParty conference to discuss our rights. Women have been kicked out of the Greens for misgendering, but India is a member and whatever he says will be fine, as the Greens treat trans as a sacred caste

Today on Beyond Gender we interviewed Dr. Gordan Guyatt—the “godfather” of evidence-based medicine—who recently signed a statement calling paediatric gender medicine “medically necessary” despite knowing there is no good quality evidence that it is safe, beneficial and effective. This particular clip is INCREDIBLE. When I asked him about it, his response was nothing short of astounding. He confessed he hadn’t bothered to read the statement he signed! Guyatt is one of the most respected, distinguished doctors of our time, and his name carries tremendous  weight. That he could so carelessly put his name to an activist talking point—one entirely unsupported by evidence—is not only bitterly ironic, but also profoundly damaging. It undermines the work of those of us fighting to counter the flood of misinformation spread by activists, WPATH, and the medical associations that have endorsed this scandal.
