This summer a trend on TikTok saw young women and even girls listing off ‘kinks’ including choking and CNC.

⅓ of TikTok users are underage.

Streaming pornography has facilitated an increasing prevalence of sadomasochism in society.
In May, TikTok was made to remove more than 500,000 accounts in Italy following an intervention by the country’s data protection watchdog after a 10-year-old girl died of asphyxiation after participating in a BDSM “blackout challenge”.

The 10-year-old girl in Italy died after taking part in a "choking game" on TikTok.

BDSM and choking are promoted by both adults and teens with nearly 300 million views combined for the search terms.

theguardian.com/world/2021/jan…
The hashtag for 'kinktok' has 6.2 BILLION views; 'choking' has 121 million views; 'CNC' (rape play) has 960 million; 'submissive' has 260 million; 'bondage' has 200 million.
Research has found that not only are men much more likely to report paraphilias / fetishes, they are also more likely to report sadism, whereas women report masochism. Some feminists have asserted this is the eroticization of the subordination of women.
journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
The term 'sadomasochism' notably comes from two **men**, not from women: the Marquis de Sade, and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Sade eroticized sexual torture, and Sacher-Masoch in his novel 'Venus in Furs' explores fantasies of being dominated.
*Edit*

I need to mention that the CNC hashtag is mostly not related to the BDSM term. My mistake. 🙏
However, the amount of BDSM related content on TikTok is alarming and includes adult "educators" who describe various fetishes. One example is a woman with 500k followers.

Not a single government is tracking deaths or adverse outcomes as a result of surrogacy, a medicalized process that uses powerful drugs such as Lupron - which is anecdotally linked to greater risks of reproductive cancer, and to elevated risks of lethal complications. Image
This is Lupron. This is the drug pumped into women's bodies during the surrogacy process. This is the drug used as a 'puberty blocker' on minors. Women have been trying to raise awareness of how it has ruined their health for decades now.

@DuncanHenry78 @Slatzism I'm tired of being gaslit about the harassment I've endured quietly, not making a fuss over, as if it isn't real, didn't happen, or someone else's feelings are a reason to discredit everything I've done.
This is about power, not feelings. That was obvious to me from the start. Image
Image
@DuncanHenry78 @Slatzism I knew that the whole point of crying "homophobia" to the extent of making shit up, claiming bigotry and hurt feelings, was really about self-promotion, and I was proven correct. Image

@DuncanHenry78 @Slatzism Fred said I made up the claim that he compared me to Hitler as a form of "victimhood whoring". But the truth is he did compare me to Hitler, and tried to discourage people from listening to an interview I gave about the harms of porn, and women being battered by men in prison Image

Germany has passed a law that enables parents to "transition" their babies from the moment they are born.

The Self-Determination Act, to be implemented Nov. 1, also imposes a €10,000 fine for exposing a transgender person's biological sex or "deadname."
Here is trans-identified male politician, Maja Tegeler, arguing earlier this year that Germany's sex self-ID law did not go far enough, and ought to be altered to allow men to enter women's saunas.
Reem Alsalem UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and Girls (@UNSRVAW):

"I express my deep concern regarding the reported negative effects that this new legislation could have on the rights of women and girls in Germany.

Also, I would like to remind the Government of Your Excellency that, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, States Parties shall be held accountable if they do not take all appropriate measures to prevent, investigate, prosecute, punish, and offer reparation for acts or omissions by state and non-state actors that lead to gender-based violence against women."

The entire purpose of the linguistic sleight-of-hand involved in the term "gender dysphoria" is to normalize and depathologize male sexual fetishism.

"Transgender" turns every single major paraphilia in diagnostic literature into a protected identity. Image
The very first wedge used in diagnostic literature - by sexologists and psychiatrists - was to claim that men who masturbated wearing the stolen clothing of women was not a sexual act, but an identity crisis.

That men who were absorbed in BDSM, in making themselves into torture porn, scenes that reflect what they are aroused by seeing done to women, was not sexual in nature, but an expression of themselves.

This wedge, detailed in the DSM-4, allowed every other paraphilia to fall under the dominant category of gender identity or dysphoria - the category that is now regarded as not a sexual pathology, but an inborn trait, an identity.

All the while, there has been the knowledge that paraphilias rarely ever appear in isolation - they overlap.

So now, every major sexual pathology gets to hide under the "skirt" of gender dysphoria.Image
Image
"Transvestic fetishism is not diagnosed when crossdressing occurs exclusively during the course of Gender Identity Disorder".

This diagnostic recommendation, used to excuse an obvious sexual behavior intrinsically linked to sadomasochism, and to further escalation of fetishism - which can result in criminal sexual offending - was the only door that needed to be opened to allow all forms of paraphilias, even pedophilia, to fall under a protective "umbrella" of sexual identity - rather than as a potentially dangerous pathology.

Why did it happen?

Precisely because the abuse involved in transvestic fetishism is directed primarily at women, and therefore invisible.

To this day, Ray Blanchard, who coined "autogynephilia", agrees with this assessment from the DSM-4: that an explicit male fetish for misogyny is simply an identity crisis.

It's almost like the IOC, UN, and WEF are organized in a structural pattern of removing women's rights. Image
The IOC is connected to the WEF.

A little more information about "Wren Nilla", who said,

"As a teenager, I would compulsively draw dismembered female bodies... When [transgender feelings] started to come out, they had a sickly fetishistic vibe to them."

He recently lived in Brooklyn and was offering house cleaning services.

"I'm a huge fan of 'Law and Order'... However, I can't help but feel as though the show demonizes men and pedophiles a bit too much." Image
