That’s it. That does it.

Men are NOT women and I’m sick to the gills of your whining about ‘cruelty’ because someone misgendered you while “a thin layer of perspiration glues loose flyaways of your long, dark hair to your forehead.”

Read my lips: I. DON’T. CARE. ANYMORE.

🧵 1/

“Her heart palpitated, beating against the rough cotton of a man’s prison uniform…”

Really? Oh, so sorry. I shudder to think of how awful this must feel. Maybe 1/10 as awful as girls having to undress in front of Lia-freaking-Thomas in a locker room.

2/

“Instead, she said, she was humiliated and dehumanized…”

Dehumanized like being called a ‘person who bleeds’? Or ‘a person with a uterus’? A ‘pregnant person’? An ‘egg carrier’?

Cry me a river.

And…boom…the Washington Post has spoken out on HHS’ Pediatric Gender Medicine report with one of the most scathing articles thus far.

Let’s look at the claims, the rhetoric, the bias, and…the reader comments. 👇

🧵 1/

WaPo doesn’t waste a moment getting right to the ‘conversion therapy’ lie.

No questioning, no discussion, simply scarequoting ‘noninvasive’ and citing “pushback from LGBTQ+ advocates who said the proposal amounted to ‘conversion therapy’”

It must be true then. {sarcasm}

2/

Following in the footsteps of other media reports today, WaPo avoids naming the Cass Report — calling it ‘a similar, highly disputed, evidence review to enact a ban on puberty blockers’

Is “sex assigned at birth” REALLY a term “common in medicine”?

The Department of Health and Human Services report on Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria is a beautiful sight to see.

And a long time coming.

Let’s hope changes in the way we handle confused children aren’t far off.

A Quick Look at the Executive Summary 👇

🧵 1/

This is damning:

“Clinician-researchers developed the pediatric medical transition model in response to disappointing psychosocial outcomes in adults who underwent medical transition.”

2/

“Evidence for harms association with pediatric medical transition may reflect the relatively short period of time since the widespread adoption of the medical/surgical treatment model, failure of studies to track & report harms, and publication bias”

Really? 🙄

While we’re calling out Lia Thomas for cheating his way through a number of swim meets while at U Penn, let’s not forget the supporting cast members:

1. Head Coach Mike Schnur (the only coaching staff who feels it necessary to declare pronouns on his profile page)

🧵 1/

“Mike has been one of my biggest supporters and allies in this process since day one and I'm very grateful to have that support from him and from everybody on the team. I feel very supported. Just treated like any other member of the women's team” —Lia Thomas

2. Associate VP for Equity & Title IX Officer Michele Rovinsky-Mayer

Good piece in Unherd today (following up on the Telegraph piece about crime statistics).

🐘 But who’s talking about the elephant in the room? 🐘

It isn’t just ‘men from war zones’ or ‘foreign-born people’ or ‘non-British nationals.’

There’s something else going on…

🧵 1/

I read @polblonde’s article before I saw Unherd’s promotional post.

Me: “This is an article about higher offense rates per 100K by men from cultures where women are devalued”

Unherd: “This is an article about men who recently arrived from war zones” (just not Ukraine)

🤔

2/

The original Telegraph article doesn’t speak of war zones, but uses non-specific terms like

foreigners
foreign / Non-British nationals
migrants

when speaking of people from

🇦🇱 🇲🇩 🇨🇩 🇳🇦 🇸🇴 🇦🇫 🇲🇦 🇮🇶 🇩🇿 🇦🇴 🇬🇲 🇪🇷 🇻🇳 🇹🇳 🇱🇾

So it’s not just ‘foreigners,’ is it?

“Don’t feel safe”
“Afraid to travel”
“Trip was canceled”
“In passport purgatory”

🚨 Free advice 🚨
No matter how you dress or what you call yourself, you don’t get to mandate what official documents look like or what data they include.

🧵 1/

🛎️ There’s a common thread in all of the stories below. It’s one of persecution and ‘see what the government is doing to me?’

🛎️ But let’s look at it another way:
People who claim to be the opposite sex (or refuse to be saddled with the horrid binariness of sex) think that the world should adapt itself to suit them.

This is not how the world works. It isn’t how government documents work. Or how security clearances work.

Some things aren’t (and should not be) up to individuals to decide, hide from the public, lie about, alter, etc. Sex and age are two of those things.

No government-issued document should be changed on a whim, and unless we want to go down the rabbit hole of ‘how often and how soon and how many times can one request a new sex marker on a passport,’ allowing any such changes will be whimsical. If we do stipulate limits/restrictions there will always be someone who feels persecuted if the rules disallow a change.

🛎️ Who wins?
There are solid reasons (border security) for sticking with accuracy in passports.

Trans-identifying people claim there are solid reasons (personal security) for allowing passports to reflect their ‘chosen’ identity.

IF these are in conflict, then which comes out on top?

The safety of entire populations?
Or the feelings of a small number of people who have made life choices incompatible with reality? 🤷‍♀️

🍿 And now…on to stories of unbound cruelty…

2/

Transmasculine-nonbinary-identifying female (woman) applied for a passport update to show MALE sex in Jan. 2025. No details given, but State still has the passport.

“it’s basically like transgender folks have been put on an informal travel ban, unable to leave the country.”
