The military coup in Myanmar, led by men, ousted female leader Aung San Suu Kyi & began collaborating with male management at factories to quash women-led workers' unions.
The garment industry is worth $6 billion nationally; women are 90% of its workforce.

"A majority of the factory managers are men", a trend seen across sweatshop / garment factories in Asia.

They prefer to employ women, paying them a pittance ($3.40 / day) for long working hours, and are known to sexually assault the female workers.

Women garment workers have been at the forefront of protests against the military coup in Myanmar.

The sexual politics of the junta's takeover are impossible to miss: it occurred as the women's labor movement had begun to make gains.
"Fear of rape and robbery are common amongst garment workers, who work long shifts and have to travel during hours of darkness. Women also reported that they suffer from depression, largely as a result of long working hours and poor working conditions."

The minimum wage in the garment sector in Myanmar is about $65 per month.
Union leaders and labour rights activists representing the country’s 90% female workforce have been central voices in the civil disobedience movement that emerged following the coup.

In May, the junta sentenced 28 people to 20 years in prison for attacks on factories.
Some suspect the military instigated attacks on the factories to justify imposing martial law.
The fires broke out after five garment workers were killed by the military.
france24.com/en/live-news/2…
Since the army’s takeover, at least 1,300 protesters and bystanders have been killed, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) @aapp_burma
aljazeera.com/news/2021/12/2…
In 2011 a ban on labor unions was dropped; in 2012 collective bargaining was legalized.
Ma Moe Sandar Myint, of the Federation of Garment Workers:
"Eight or nine years ago, strikes were led by men. Employers decided to not hire male workers at high rates."

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
10news.com/news/local-new…
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.

"The most accurate portrayal of my own transgender psychosis I've ever seen was in Silence of the Lambs." Image
"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
