THREAD: This young person is a friend of mine & had tremendous courage to testify knowing that #Oregon was going to legalize schools & clinics #gender-harming kids w/o notifying their #parents. Few ppl have the fortitude to tell the truth anyway.

rumble.com/v3qoej6-oregon… 2/5: The true front of the *legal* battle unfortunately isn't Oregon, which is too far gone. Those of us working THAT front are choosing the proper times and places to mount our best offenses. Those are primarily in #Texas (#SB14), Florida and a few other key venues.

THREAD: As a health information worker who regularly reviews records involving gender-reassignment patients, I can't stress enough the harm to medical accuracy of neo-pronouns.

Please allow me to elaborate:

#GenderCritical #pronouns #healthcare The purpose of the medical record is, first and foremost, to ensure the accurate dissemination of information necessary for the continuation of the patient's care.

Neo-pronouns and "nonbinary" theys aren't just annoying; they're potentially harmful.

THREAD: My #GenderCritical thoughts on how to constitutionally handle gender religion, and its pronouns and whatnot, in schools:

<rant>

(1) Gender ideology IS a religion. It is a faith-based, nonscientific, gnostic-dualist belief system about the soul... (2) ...specifically, about the corruption of the physical body vs the immutable purity of the gendered soul, with ritualistic practices (language & body modification) for attending to the needs of the gendered soul over the flaws of the sexed body.

Insights from evolutionary psychology re how newborns protect themselves from maternal self-interest by gaming maternal instincts in their favor via oxytocin. Biology is SO much smarter than we think we are:

"To defend against maternal infanticide, a newborn's best strategy... 2/ "...may be to display cues that it is a vehicle worthy of investment....Newborns who nurse in the first hour of birth stimulate a surge in maternal oxytocin levels [causing the nursing mother to] become less motivated to self-groom for the purposes of attracting a mate...

THREAD: This was my kid to a T(rex), so thought I'd pull her favorite books off our shelf and list them, for any other parents whose kids need engaging books about biology and evolution: 2/ A good way to engross a child is to let them follow the paths of the early explorers--Cuvier's catalogs of animal drawings, Darwin's journey on the Beagle. Even those who got it wrong (Waterhouse) or who are just making up pretend biologies for fun (Olander's monsters)...

THREAD: Gender industry "ethicists" never tire of helping drug manufacturers offload shoddy products.

Enter "OPS," something so unethical that once ethicists taste it they lose their bearings completely.

On the NIH's proposal to "study sex as a non-binary construct" at taxpayer expense (thread--link to submit commentary to NIH at end):

As international attention focuses on Portland, we've become an inconvenient truth--something the Dem Party has to retroactively pretend it didn't create. Speaking up about it now puts one in the crosshairs of gaslighting... 2/...techniques. Dem Party now realizes its months of giving terrorists a pass--and before that years of inciting them--has become a bad look for it. Dems rewrite history: "We never condoned violence!"

Yes, legislators, you will be threatened by the gender industry, and then you'll understand what our children face when alone with it in the exam room, and what we parents face when we ask simple questions like "is there proof this is safe & effective?"

There's lots of controversy lately w/ experts advising parents to hold back & not challenge gender-enthralled kids in case it might make them worse.
