IIRC "a woman" is a "timeless", "formless" entity,
some sort of Lovecraftian Elder Being, I think
(I can't remember who said that... but that was a thing)
Shon Faye said some guff about shifting constellations, iirc.
That said, schools here don't have the right to conceal information about children from their parents. There would be unlikely to be the sort of transing closets I've read about in American schools. At least I bloody hope there aren't.
She did for a while, but he started getting too old for it - he looks like an effeminate male, not a perfect little girl any more. I think there's also some mention of him becoming depressed earlier in the thread.
Schools have been TOLD they can trans kids behind parents backs (by Mermaids and other dubious LGBT orgs) but it hasn’t been tested in court yet. Give me rainbows but I think a judge will see it very differently and once the legal floodgates open, schools will be FUCKED and will have to try and sue the orgs that did their shite ‘training’ in ‘Stonewall Law’ to recoup the compo they will have to pay parents and the now-grown kids.
The only way to end this stuff is to do a Burgerland and go legal on them (what Peter Boghossian calls waging ‘Lawfare’)
We’ve had to first chip away at the social climate to get to the point where anyone in a position to sue can feel reassured that the press and the majority will support that action, bearing in mind that it will bring a shitload of negative attention to their doorstep and most Detrans people and non affirming parents of ROGD kids have already been rinsed out emotionally in private. It’s a lot to ask a parent of a vulnerable child/young adult to take on a legal case.
Which is why Keira Bell, the anon mum on that case, Sue and Marcus Evans, Sonia Appleby, James Esses and others are fucking heroes to me (there are other cases from the free speech and women’s rights angles, and soon detrans v NHS but the above are all cases specifically relating to kids).
Same with the Christian couple from the IOW who have spent, what, 5 years? Arguing with the DfE who finally backed down a couple of weeks ago, without going to court.
I fucking hate paedos. And I have a special hatred for the paedos who not only harm kids with grooming and sex abuse, but also encourage their groomees to self mutilate so they can never truly leave it all behind them.
I do find it interesting how Jackie, who seemed to want to be a trans celeb in his late teens, is now a very mysterious figure. What is he now? Mid to late 20s? Last time I recall Ghouly Susie mentioning her ‘daughter’ it was to say he was working on posh yachts abroad?
Which seems like a grand way to escape an abusive and suffocating mother who is constantly bragging about castrating you on the basis you really liked Polly Pocket toys and your parents didn’t want a gay son.
I’ll probably be kicked off Terf Island for this, but I actually worry far more about the boys being groomed into this by actual perverts in Roblox etc than I do about the autistic girls who decide to be boys after being told it’s an option in schools.
Yeah, lopping your healthy tits off is crazy shit but millions of women live perfectly normal lives after breast cancer, or risk reduction mastectomy due to cancer causing gene faults.
But having your penis removed? Even just your testicles? Automatic medical patient for life.
Such a tiny proportion of girl troons get arm skin sausages (especially in the UK) that it’s barely a drop in the troony ocean compared to boys getting ball chops or skinned, inverted penii.
A pointless double mastectomy is more like a really extreme body mod - you’ll almost definitely live to regret it but your life can continue tit-free if you learn how to sew darts in your lady clothes and while tits are a nice addition in a sexual setting, you can still orgasm without them.
Infant formula isn’t ideal but it’s perfectly adequate.
But no genitals? No gonads? No way to produce your own necessary hormones? Being tethered to the system that disabled you forever?
Well, no wonder 41% is a thing, eh?
Ban genital surgeries and non-medically indicated oophorectomies.
Classify everything else as cosmetic body modification - hold anyone doing the procedures/supplying medications legally accountable for failing to ascertain mental health/capacity
Limit it to over 18s only.
Make it self funded only (no insurance claims or socialised medical care)
No paperwork changes. No insisting on pronouns or using spaces or services for the opposite sex.
No lobby groups in schools. No social transition in schools (wear what you want at home, lads)
I reckon it would mostly die off under those circumstances - the few that are left will be the idiot adult children of millionaire celebs, like Cher’s monstrously fat FtM daughter and Jamie Lee Curtis’ fat AGP son.
Even the munchiemoms like Susie and Helen Islan and poor fat Jazz’s game hungry mom would think twice if they had to wait for their kid to turn 18 and then pick up the entire tab.
(Also, Mumsnet went down.
Might be back up during the time it took to write this giant comment)
