The myth of the "trans community".

The trans community is not a coherent community at all. It is an inexplicably broad demographic containing both vulnerable and dangerous people. Here's my attempt to classify the various groups. A 🧵

1/18

Trans children. An entirely coerced, mythical group of under 18s. These children cannot possibly understand nor consent to this, and shouldn't be affirmed. Tales of two year old trans children are absurd and dangerous. This is profound child abuse and must end immediately.

2/18

Straight trans ID'd girls. A demographic of teenage girls terrified by modern culture's toxic projection of womanhood. @HadleyFreeman has written compassionately about this cohort many times.

Young lesbians identifying as trans - teenage girls dealing with relentless homophobia and misogyny, mistaken in their belief that they can transition into heterosexuality. This is a very sad logic.

4/18

Here's Dr Elizabeth Van Horn,Consultant Psychiatrist at the now closed GIDS admitting she's no idea where this huge demographic of young girls came from. A total dereliction of duty.



5/18

Gay men who are now trans. Activists insist that they're now straight women. These men are at risk of medical interventions that profoundly harm their fertility and sexual function, not to mention their chances of finding a partner.

6/18

Lesbians who identify as trans men. Women who have somehow concluded that they're simply too butch to be women. These women are equally at risk of medical interventions that would harm their fertility & sexual function, and can cause early menopause.

7/18

We now move on to the far more dangerous players in the "community".

8/19

The cross dresser. Typically a straight male, often married with children, doing it purely for sexual gratification. Those seeking to act it out in public, in stealth, like "Jennifer" here, are a danger to women and girls. These men relish invading women's spaces.

9/19

The male "lesbian".
A straight homophobic predatory male who believes his trans status makes it acceptable to hound lesbians for sex.

10/19

The female "gay man".
A straight homophobic woman who fantasises about sleeping with gay men. Activists can often be seen celebrating these women.

11/19

This profoundly homophobic notion of sex-by-deception in gay saunas is endorsed and promoted by groups like @Clini_Q and people like @stephenwhittle

12/19

The child catcher. The straight cross dresser who seeks to encourage other people's children to transition via treatment now outlawed by @thecassreview. These people are a clear danger to children. What motivates these men to do this?

13/19

A variant of this is the absurd transwoman, who solely blames puberty for his bizarre appearance. This is then used to justify stunting the growth of children using puberty blockers. What exactly is he imagining here?

14/19

The opportunistic, predatory criminal. These people will exploit self ID loopholes promoted by @stonewalluk and @ScottishTrans in order to terrorise women. Those orgs will insist that even male rapists are women because self ID is sacrosanct in their ideology.

15/19

The non-binary. The most middle-class, meaningless gender identity. Typically this means a woman with short hair. To imply that these people are oppressed is absurd and offensive. This is the epitome of luxury beliefs. Predictably, @guardian made a video about them.

16/19

I struggle to comprehend how LGBTQ+ charities can possibly claim to represent the interests of such an utterly incoherent group. "Trans rights are human rights" is a vacuous slogan that shields some truly toxic groups.

17/19

The cohorts in posts 2-7 contain men, women and children who have clearly been harmed by an ideology's malign influence on our institutions.

It's imperative that these people receive compassionate support from groups outside of the reckless trans movement.

18/19

Thankfully those groups do exist: @AllianceLGB @Transgendertrd @SafeSchools_UK @SexMattersOrg @MensNetwork1 @WRNScotland
@ThoughtfulTs @genspect
@FamEdTrust @BayswaterSG
are just a few....
