Within 24 hours of his arrival in Brisbane, Elston was slapped with a $806 fine for ‘obstructing and unreasonably disturbing a person in the mall’, despite video evidence to the contrary.

He was then forcibly removed by police for standing in the public open-air mall where he had been wearing one of his famous billboards with a message: ‘Children cannot consent to puberty blockers.’

Ironically, Queensland is the one state where the government has committed to investigate the evidence underpinning the use of puberty blockers for gender-distressed children. 🧵Image I doubt any sane person has heard or read the phrase ‘her penis’ without rolling their eyes. For female victims of sexual crimes, the phrase can inflict enormous trauma. For a young person learning biology, it is a confusing concept that requires an explanation of ‘gender theory’, which has no scientific basis. But while the term may seem comical, it is no laughing matter for women and girls whose dignity, privacy, and safety are being compromised by the unwanted presence of males in female-only spaces.

Another insidious aspect of gender ideology is its irreversible harm to young people. Becoming ‘trans’ doesn’t simply involve a change of clothes or a new haircut – the consequences, particularly for vulnerable young people, involve irreversible surgeries and harmful drugs that impact physical health and brain development, as well as harmful side effects, including stunted growth, infertility, and cancer.

Legislation banning ‘conversion practices’, including in relation to ‘gender identity’, has passed in nearly every state in Australia. This means that in most places, the only legal way to treat gender dysphoria or distress is with the ‘gender affirmation’ model. This involves unreservedly ‘affirming’ a person’s subjective ‘gender identity’, including with the drugs, hormones, and surgeries this entails.

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister @MarkJCarney’s daughter went to the UK’s infamous gender clinic, the Tavistock, when she was a child.

In this essay discovered by True North News, Sasha Carney (formerly Sophia) writes of her visits to the Tavistock.

She also rails against ‘transphobes,’ and tells of her childhood inspiration for identifying as transmasculine — a ‘boygirl’ identity encouraged by Enid Blyton books that her mother starting buying her.

“My teenage years existed in close proximity to this TERF-driven scrutiny, which was fixated on identifying how ‘authentically trans’ people like me really were.

“In 2013, shortly after I chopped off all my hair into a deeply regrettable floppy Justin Bieber cut, I moved to London, the land of Enid Blyton murder mysteries. A block from my new house was the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust, an imposing grey building which contained the country's only child and adolescent ‘gender identity clinic.’

“I watched as my friend, after a year of weekly appointments trying desperately to get an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria, was denied the diagnosis, and with it any hope of top surgery because they sometimes wore skirts.

“I watched organisations with names like
@Transgendertrd refer to trans Tavistock patients as ‘experimental subjects’who didn't know what was best for them.

“I watched as my school's former principal told a national news outlet that trans students like me and many of my close friends were c*s women who were only coming out to ‘cause turbulence’ and ‘adhere to anything a bit radical.’

“I watched all this happen, and I quietly stopped wearing underwire bras, and wore baggier clothes, and I felt a fierce surge of jealousy every time I walked into the Tavistock for therapy and saw patients turn left, towards the medical spaces I didn't feel ‘trans enough’ to enter.”

Did Liberal leader Mark Carney approve of these visits to the Tavistock, the home of the UK’s childhood sex changes?

Full essay text in thread, below. 👇🏼Image

“When I was in elementary school, my mother started buying me Enid Blyton books. The British series weren't so much novels as they were morality tales, with the same stock characters recycled over and over to deter impressionable little British lasses from the seven deadly sins (gluttony, sloth, envy, wrath, believing in yourself, stealing sweets from the penny shop, and lying to your mum about when you'd be home for tea). One stock character in particular always fascinated me - the rambunctious, uncontainable boygirl.

“The boygirl is as complex as she is simple. She is White and wealthy, with a tangle of dark hair cut short or tied back - her pet peeve is having any of it fall into her eyes. She has several brothers who taught her how to ride horses or climb trees.

“She has little-to-no interest in boys, except when she expresses her desire to be one. And crucially, she has an extravagantly feminine name (Georgina, Josephine, or Wilhelmina), which she adamantly shortens to George, Jo, or Bill.

“In hindsight, her queerness is undeniable, almost textual. I'm tempted to believe that it's the very thing that drew me to her as I sat, not quite a tomboy, yet certainly not a "real girl," long hair pulled back in a snarled ponytail but still giving into my family's insistence that I wear dresses to church. The boygirl was both everything I was a little bit in love with and everything I didn't have the guts to be.

“Of course, at the time I had no way of knowing that Bills, Jos, and Georges existed outside Enid Blyton's imagination, that the world was full near to the brim with boygirls and girlboys, every possible gender I could imagine, and some I couldn't.

“I also didn't know that transgender children were becoming an increasingly visible demographic at the very moment I was becoming one, or that visibility can come at a hefty price.”

The World Economic Forum just spent 2 minutes talking about my presence on the promenade, and even featured my Dad sign on their big screen!

Dad: A human male who protects his kids from gender ideology.

They’re talking about the backlash to LGBTQ. What they need to understand is it’s really backlash to TQ, and it has only just begun. I always say “good things happen when you go outside,” and that proved true again today.

I’m on a mission to end child transition worldwide, one conversation at a time.

If you wish to support my campaign, I’m so thankful for your help.

President Trump just nuked gender ideology.

Here is the full Executive Order.

Very important! The President rightly uses the word ‘sex.’ Not ‘gender.’

There are two sexes, zero genders, and infinite personalities. 🧵 Image
Image
It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.

These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.

Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy:

“Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.  “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

“Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.

“Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively.

“Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

“Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.Image

The Daily Mail has picked up the story of Micah LeRoy, a young woman with cerebral palsy who was put on testosterone as a child and received a double mastectomy last month.

They also spoke with her, via her mother who ‘translated.’

I’ve edited the article below to correct the Daily Mail’s misgendering.Image “A transgender teen with cerebral palsy who went viral after posting about her breast-removal surgery has told DailyMail.com that she knew what she was doing and is happy with her choices.

“Micah LeRoy, 19, a University of Minnesota student, had a double mastectomy last month and shared footage about the procedure, and her painful but swift recovery, on Instagram.

“Those videos exploded on conservative social media on Thursday, with critics calling Micah a victim who should not have been greenlighted for a sex change because of her disability.

“But, speaking with DailyMail.com, Micah said she had a long history of gender identity issues and that she is glad she provoked a reaction because she 'wanted to blow up the internet.'   

“Micah's case raises tough questions about whether disabled people and minors should be allowed to take puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones and undergo sex change operations.

“Micah's disability, cerebral palsy, affects movement and muscle control. She is able to speak and write for herself, gets straight As at college, and is involved in state politics.”

Massive news!

Clementine — a young woman given puberty blockers at 12, testosterone at 13, and a double mastectomy at 14 — is suing!

This lawsuit is devastating, and involves the biggest names in the fraudulent field of ‘gender medicine.’

She’s suing Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who runs the busiest gender clinic in America; the surgeon, Dr. Scott Mosser; the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles; St. Francis Memorial Hospital; and therapist Susan Landon.

THE LAWSUIT

This case is about a team of purported health care providers who collectively decided that a vulnerable girl struggling with complex mental health struggles and suffering from multiple instances of sexual abuse should be prescribed a series of life-altering puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, ultimately, receive a double mastectomy at the age of 14.

Clementine is a female who suffered from a complex, multi-faceted array of mental health symptoms as a child and adolescent.

She is also a survivor of multiple instances of sexual abuse as a child and adolescent, something that was never explored, addressed, or discussed by Defendants in the course of their purported treatment.

Her presentation of symptoms and concerns included, among other things, anxiety, depression, autism, undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), potential bipolarism, as has been suggested by one of her psychiatrists, ongoing confusion regarding her gender, and eventually psychosis (including audio and visual hallucinations), panic attacks, and paranoia.

Her family also has a lengthy history of mental health issues. She needed psychotherapy to evaluate, assess, and treat her complex co-morbid mental health symptoms.

Instead, she was fast-tracked onto the conveyor belt of irreversibly damaging puberty blockers (age 12), cross-sex hormones (age 13), and “gender-affirming” surgery (age 14).

Around the age of 11 or 12, likely due at least in part to the sexual abuse she experienced as a young child, Clementine began struggling with the thought of developing into a woman and began to believe that life would be easier if she were a boy.

She expressed as much to her then school counselor in some of her sessions discussing her then-declining mental health, who told Clementine that she was transgender and called her parents to tell them the same.

Clementine’s parents, completely surprised by and unaware of how to handle this supposed diagnosis but wanting to care for their daughter, decided to take Clementine to “the experts,” which led them to the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles and under the care of Dr. Johanna Olson-Kenedy (“Dr. Olson-Kennedy”), the director of the Center and one of the most prominent advocates for so-called pediatric “gender-affirming care” in the country.

Clementine had just turned 12 years old.

Dr. Olson-Kennedy and the team at LA Children’s immediately and unquestioningly “affirmed” Clementine as transgender, and at her very first visit, after mere minutes, Dr. Olson Kennedy diagnosed Clementine with gender dysphoria and recommended surgical implantation of puberty blockers.

Dr. Olson-Kennedy performed no mental health assessment. She did not ask about things like past trauma, abuse, or mental health struggles or diagnoses.

She involved no other providers or health care professionals in this purported gender dysphoria diagnosis and recommendation for puberty blockers.

Instead, she simply took a handful of platitudinal statements from a scared, confused, and traumatized barely-12-year-old girl to give a life-altering diagnosis and handed her the prescription pad.

In short, it took Dr. Olson-Kennedy and the team at LA Children’s a single visit to send Clementine down a life-altering, traumatic, body-disfiguring, and irreversibly damaging path of transgender medicalization.

continued … 🧵 Under Defendants’ “care,” from the ages of 12 to 19, Clementine had a puberty blocker surgically inserted into her left arm at age 12, was prescribed “gender-affirming” cross-sex hormones from ages 13 to 19, had a “gender-affirming” double mastectomy at only 14 years old, and was urged to get a “gender-affirming” hysterectomy as a 17-year-old.

She did not experience any long-term relief from these gender dysphoria “treatments.” Rather, her mental health progressively declined, as she proceeded into depression, anxiety, psychosis, hallucinations, self-harm, and suicidal ideation and even attempted suicide, none of which she had experienced prior to her gender medicalization.

Defendants also failed to obtain informed consent, which, for this type of “treatment,” is a process requiring an extended period of time and complete assessment of the patient’s mental health. It involves extensive discussion of the known and unknown risks of the proposed treatments and ensuring that the patient and parents understand and fully appreciate the long-term consequences and effects, such as the loss of the ability to ever conceive a child or breastfeed one.

It requires discussion of alternative methods of treatment. It should additionally entail discussion of the evidence base, or lack thereof, to support the off-label use of the proposed “treatments.”

None of the above was discussed or explained in Clementine’s case. In fact, the opposite occurred. Defendants obscured and concealed important information and failed to disclose the significant health risks associated with a female taking high doses of harmful male hormone drugs and puberty blockers.

Even worse, Defendants made numerous material misrepresentations in order to convince Clementine’s parents to agree to puberty blockers, such as assuring them that puberty blockers are “completely reversible,” and cross-sex hormones, including asserting that Clementine would commit suicide if she did not begin taking testosterone.

Defendants’ coercion, concealment, misrepresentations, and manipulation are appalling and represent an egregious breach of the standard of care. This misconduct also constitutes fraud, malice, and oppression.

New research provides strong evidence that DEI training is producing extraordinary psychological harm.

The New York Times and Bloomberg were offered this story and jumped on it enthusiastically, only to have editors shut it down at the 11th hour.

We are the media now.

In experiments in which participants were exposed to ‘anti-racist’ DEI rhetoric quoted directly from Ibram X Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, it induced baseless attributions of hostility and a willingness to punish percieved perpetrators — despite no evidence of wrongdoing or any racism whatsoever. 🧵Image
Image
Similarly, in research on anti-Islamophobia, and anti-casteism pedagogy — taken directly from training materials — NCRI and Rutgers found similar results.

These anti-oppressive pedagogies reliably produce increases of 20-30% in hostile attributions and desires for punishment with no evidence of wrongdoing. 

Some of the results, especially in the anti-casteism work, produced extraordinary harms: ~30% increases in agreement with Hitler quotes where the word ‘Jew’ was exchanged for upper caste members.Image

Massive news!

Congress is investigating the NIH and Johanna Olson-Kennedy, the gender doctor from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

Johanna was given $9.7 million to research puberty blockers on kids.

Nine years after the study began, she refused to publish the research because it showed puberty blockers didn’t help the 95 children being experimented on.Image
Image
Image
Dear Director Bertagnolli:

The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is conducting oversight of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant of $9.7 million to an ongoing research project titled, “The Impact of Early Medical Treatment in Transgender Youth.”

We are alarmed that the project’s principal investigator, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, is withholding publication of the project’s research findings which cast doubt on the efficacy of the “gender affirming” model, because she believes the findings could be “weaponized” by critics of transgender medical interventions for children.

NIH is responsible for overseeing its extramural research projects to ensure supported researchers practice transparency, exemplify scientific integrity, and are proper stewards of taxpayer funds.

Therefore, in light of the NIH grantee’s unwillingness to release the research project’s findings, we ask that you provide documents and information to assist the Committee’s oversight of this matter.

I’m at UCLA and I just met Clementine, who recently detransitioned.

When she was 12, Johanna Olson-Kennedy at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles put her on puberty blockers.

At 13, she was put on testosterone.

At only 14 years of age, she was given a double mastectomy!

Clementine had suffered sexual abuse, and that was the source of great trauma, and is why she didn’t want to be a girl.

Johanna Olson-Kennedy didn’t care about that. Within 30 minutes of her first appointment she was told she needed to go on puberty blockers, or she might kill herself.

Her parents were told they could have a dead daughter or a live son. This is standard practice at gender clinics. The only way they can justify this child abuse is to say that kids will die if they don’t do it.

Testosterone caused psychosis so Clementine went off it at 17.

She has now just turned 20, and can probably never have kids. She’s trying to get reconstructive surgery but insurance companies only want to pay for destruction of children’s bodies, not reconstruction.

I hope Clementine sues, and helps to bring down this industry, but mostly I’m incredibly thankful for her bravery in speaking up.

If you don’t believe this is happening. please listen to her story. “And here’s the other thing about chest surgery. If you want breasts at a later point in your life, you can go and get them!” -Johanna Olson-Kennedy

No they can’t, Johanna, but they can help send you to prison.

A Christian, African-American, military family in Maryland have lost their autistic son to the state, because his parents refused to say he was a girl.

Article: dailycaller.com/2024/10/17/exc…Image Following the recommendation of their son’s counselor on November 9, 2021, John and Jane took John III to Children’s National Hospitalfor help following a suicide attempt. It was the last day their son would ever be in their care.

Weeks before the suicide attempt, John III had been diagnosed with autism.

At the time, John told the Daily Caller, he did not realize Children’s National Hospital had a Gender and Autism Program for autistic and neurodivergent youth — a population that is overrepresented among gender distressed adolescents.

The executive director of the program, Dr. John Strang, is a co-author of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health’s (WPATH) clinical guidance that recommends gender-distressed children receive sex-change drugs and surgeries.

At the hospital, John and Jane were informed by staff for the first time of their son’s alleged gender dysphoria and told they must affirm his new female gender identity, according to a lawsuit filed by the parents against Children’s National. The lawsuit states that the Christian couple hold “traditional family values consistent with their evangelical Protestant faith” and would not affirm their son as a female, despite the hospital’s demands.

“They didn’t like the fact that we wouldn’t go along with what they were recommending,” John told the Daily Caller of the hospital’s reaction.

What the heck is this?

Trump says “We don’t want transgender operations without parental consent.”

Excuse me?

@JDVance, you need to have a talk with @realDonaldTrump.

@TeamTrump, you too.

Parents do not have the right to abuse their children, and childhood sex change surgeries are child abuse!

12-year-olds are having their breasts cut off, WITH parental consent. Are you telling me Trump is okay with that?

This is a dangerous cult, and parents are in it. Often, they’re the ones pushing this on their kids.

Child abuse is not acceptable. This language is the furthest thing from ‘common sense.’ It was reported this same language (without parental consent) was in Trump’s script a couple months ago but he never got around to it.

Parents deserve crystal clear confirmation from Trump that he is against sex-change surgeries for children, period.

The @eSafetyOffice ordered my post taken down partly because I called Teddy Cook a woman.

Now in the appeal, before anything has even really started, the judge says we can’t call Teddy Cook a woman.

I will not be complying with this. Teddy Cook is a woman. Find me in contempt. Arrest me at the hearing. Whatever. I’m not lying for an activist judge. The eSafety office had 5 lawyers and their general manager there for a basic Directions Hearing.

My appeal is now officially linked with X’s appeal. This case is very important and I’m not giving an inch for a cultish ideology which is harming hundreds of thousands of kids.

Remember the reporting of bodies of murdered indigenous children found in unmarked mass graves at residential schools in Canada?

All a hoax. Never was a single shred of evidence. Not a bone. Nothing.

Ground-penetrating radar had picked up underground ‘anomalies’ near a residential school in Kamloops, BC. They could be rocks for all we know.

But someone decided to make up a story of 215 dead bodies of children. The Washington Post reported mass graves. Reporters wrote that the bodies of 3-year-old children had been found.

All a hoax.

Soon, reports of other unmarked grave sites hosting murdered indigenous children sprang up across the country.

Not a tooth was found. Not a fingernail. Absolutely nothing to substantiate any of it.

Trudeau flew the flag in Ottawa at half mast for the better part of a year. He knelt on the unmarked grave of a non-existent body while holding a teddy bear for the cameras.

Monuments of children’s sneakers — representing the fake dead — were put up and stayed up in cities for months or years.

A teacher, @JimMcMurtry01, was even marched out of his class in front of his students, his job taken away, for telling the truth that there was no evidence nuns had murdered all of these kids.

The government has now spent $8,000,000 searching for bodies. Can’t find any.

Billions were even put aside for ‘reconciliation.’

100 churches have been burned to the ground across Canada in response.

All a hoax. Image

“Isn’t Surrogacy Just Like Adoption?

“One hundred percent no. While it’s true that in both situations, the child experiences familial loss, adoption functions as an institution centered around the well-being of children. Third-party reproduction, including surrogacy, functions as a marketplace centered around the desires of adults.” -@Advo_Katy 1. In both scenarios, the child has experienced parental loss. In adoption, the parents seek to mend that wound. With third-party reproduction, the adults inflict the wound.

The only study comparing outcomes between adoptees and sperm-donor children reveals that adoptees fare better when it comes to identity struggles and parental trust — a testimony to the immense psychological burden of being raised by the adults who created your parental loss rather than the ones seeking to heal it.

Weeks before Julie Inman Grant took action against X (previously Twitter) over footage of the stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel in western Sydney, Australia’s eSafety Commissioner curiously issued the social media giant with a take-down order over a tweet “misgendering” an Australian transgender activist.

As the author of the tweet, Canadian activist Chris Elston — better known as “Billboard Chris” sees it, it was “not my nicest tweet ever, but technically accurate,” and in the context of all the vile content available on the internet, rather benign.

Article: theaustralian.com.au/nation/esafety…Image Currently visiting Australia to campaign against what he views as the “irreversible harming” of gender dysphoric children through the use of puberty blockers, hormones and surgery, Mr Elston told The Australian he found the eSafety Commissioner’s action against X regarding both his tweet and footage of the stabbing as “absurd” and “politically motivated”.

The social media giant — owned by billionaire Elon Musk — is pursuing action against the eSafety Commissioner in the Federal Court, while Mr Elston, represented by the Free Speech Union of Australia, is appealing Ms Inman Grant’s decision via the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

What is going on down under?

The South Australian Department for Education is investigating a presentation for year 9 girls at Renmark High School, where bestiality was taught as being part of the LGBTQIA+.

Did Australian trans health expert Teddy Cook draft this presentation?

Link: amp.abc.net.au/article/103653…Image Female students said teachers at Renmark High School told them to leave their lessons and attend a presentation in a separate classroom.

Students who attended the presentation on March 22 say two staff from the Headspace centre in the neighbouring town of Berri introduced a "third-party" presenter who facilitated an hour-long presentation focused on relationships.

Parents said they were not notified about the presentation, nor was it consented to.

Students said they were left unsupervised for the duration of the presentation.

Student Courtney White, 14, said she felt confused and blindsided by the presentation.

"We had a teacher that told us to grab a chair and sit in front of the board, and then the Headspace people came in and then [the teacher] left, so then we're sitting in front of a board alone with no teachers, just the Headspace people," she said.

"The first slide of the PowerPoint on the board was 'You can see queerly now' and 'No point hiding.'"Image

I am legally appealing the Australian government’s attack on my speech which ordered @X to remove my post concerning Teddy Cook, Australia’s resident ‘trans health expert.’

Teddy is a woman who promotes trans orgies, bondage, mutilation, drugs, and BESTIALITY, and who has been appointed to a panel of 'experts' at the @WHO to draft trans health policy.

It is my opinion that one of the principal problems related to trans healthcare is that people running trans health organizations are often in need of mental health help themselves, to put it lightly.

Many are in need of prison.

Ideologues who believe that children are born in the wrong body are dangerous individuals who should have nothing to do with healthcare.

Children are beautiful just as they are. No drugs or scalpels needed! If you wish to support my campaign to help end this child abuse, I can only do what I do with your help.

Thank you.

Elon Musk’s social media platform X has announced it intends to file a legal challenge after the Australian government’s eSafety Commissioner ordered it to remove a post critical of an influential transgender activist or face a $782,500 fine.

noticer.news/elon-musks-x-w… The February post by Canadian activist Billboard Chris called female World Health Organisation policymaker, Teddy Cook, a female. It has since been geoblocked in Australia, where Ms Cook is from.

“Earlier this week, X was ordered by the Australian E-Safety Commissioner, subject to an approximately $800,000 AUD fine, to remove a user’s post,” X said in a statement.

“The post had criticised an individual appointed by the World Health Organisation to serve as an expert on transgender issues.

“X is withholding the post in Australia in compliance with the order but intends to file a legal challenge to the order to protect its user’s right to free speech.”
