The Council of Europe, scourge of women’s rights, has now stopped referring to autogynephile/transvestite men as “trans”, and is instead including them in the acronym “LBQ women” in an attempt to obscure their erasure of women as a sex class. See this recent meeting and report:
There is no limit to “Yogyakarta Mick” Michael O’Flaherty’s hatred of women. He is the current commissioner for human rights at the @coe and women should be terrified of what other sophisticated tricks he is using behind the scenes to take away our rights. And you @BeatriceFresko? This is your legacy. How dare you @MichaelCJT

People are gradually finding out that trans is a sham, a dangerous and destructive scandal of historical proportions. But our trusted institutions are still holding on.
The outcome can go one of two ways: 1/
The institutions can admit they got it wrong and take a battering. It will be rough.
The alternative is it all comes out via alternative media anyway. And when those in charge attempt to plead ignorance, all the people evidence proving they *did* know will be revealed 2/

To demonstrate what has become of La Leche League, the international support group/charity originally established to help women struggling with breastfeeding, I have selected from its Facebook support group a recent example of the men it now caters to.
Meet “Sarah”:
Here’s a La Leche League leader advising “Sarah” on how to induce lactation:

Goodbye from Genspect! @stellaomalley3says the 3 papers discussed will be published online. Slides will be available. 1720 viewers watching the livestream! Mentions some lovely wins. A @genspect member wearing her lanyard was stopped by a local who said the town was so proud /1

Last talk of the @genspect conference by @LisaMarchiano 1/ #GenspectBiggerPicture
Difference between young people going to war, or getting a tattoo is that we never tell people that this will solve their problems. Detransitioners blame themselves, but @LisaMarchiano tells detransitioners that adults told them this would solve their problems. 2/

Here's @elizamondegreen: Have to thank @EuropeanPATH because they closed out their conference by blasting the song "Don't stop believin'" lol - she says it would have been a great title for her talk. 1/ #GenspectBiggerPicture
Eliza will be talking about the internet (*the cause of, and solution to, all of our problems, to paraphrase Homer Simpson). 2/

The @genspect talk on autogynephilia by @jburgo55 1/ #GenspectBiggerPicture
Recounts the story of "David" who grew up with alcoholic/hoarder parents. He grew up in madness. He was full of anxiety about fires, collapse, monsters. He was constantly alert. Spent his entire life trying to ward off disaster. He's full of what @jburgo55 calls "core shame" 2/

The Lost Boys panel at @genspect moderated by @BenjaminABoyce. Corrina from @heterodorx asks the audience to shout out his pronouns. A chorus of HE/HIM and laughs. He talks about lack of male role models and the role it probs played in is transition 1/ #GenspectBiggerPicture
He said he was lost. He wanted a way out. @marcuse99903226 says boys without fathers often can't find themselves, there is nobody to help mediate the relationship between him and his mother. @jburgo55 says messaging makes men out to be toxic. They feel bad about themselves. 2/

Education: we have to resist the indoctrination of a generation, says @anliathluachra on the next @genspect panel. 1/ #GenspectBiggerPicture@iseult: let's not ban books! All parents should have the option to opt out of the national curriculum. @ColetteColfer, who teaches at university level, got an all-staff email presenting the uni's new progress pride badges that staff can wear to show how open they are (!) 2/

Here's @ColetteColfer who will demonstrate how gender ideology is like a religion. "Gender identity is real for people whether it exists or not." 1/#GenspectBiggerPicture
She talks about an article that she pitched to the Irish Times and it was accepted - but mysteriously never got published. She read a book by a man called A James Gregor on political religions in the 20th century - which are secular but have religious characteristics. 2/

Laoise de Brun is talking about @TheCountessIE' strategy for challenging gender identity ideology which is deeply embedded in Irish institutions and culture. @genspect#GenspectBiggerPicture 1/
There are two court cases that started Ireland's journey to becoming one of the most captured "little countries" in this saga. Lydia Foy and Goodwin v UK. Back then it was all about names and markers on documents. Nothing to do with female-only spaces. 2/

MC Sarah Holmes gets up to introduce next speaker @JuliaMasonMD1, and uses the opportunity to ask people watching the @genspect livestream to speak up. Say something. Don't wait any longer, she says. 1/#GenspectBiggerPicture
Julia Mason is one of the founders of @segm_ebm, the Society of medicine-based evidence. They are concerned that the current answer to gender distress is surgery and hormones. They have difficulty getting published, so they share directly with other professionals. 2/

Panel discussion about how parents are being excluded from medical decisions about their children at @genspect, with @stellaomalley3@drgypsy and @jburgo55. Very topical discussion considering what's going on in the US. #GenspectBiggerPicture 1/
Joe Burgo was treated with contempt by the medical profession with regards to his trans-identifying child. "We have handed it over to the children and the world at large to decide what's true." This feels very new to him, he says. 2/

Heather Brunskell-Evans (@brunskellevans) is here to talk about "the transgender child" on @genspect day 3. She was in the academy in the 90s when queer theory emerged as dominant. Intersectional feminists called her a "biologicial essentialist", the "TERF" of its day 1/
I was first introduced to the transgender child in 2015 in a personal context, she says, when a friend's daughter who came out as a boy. The woman was petrified and ready to support her child in the lie, (because suicide) #GenspectBiggerPicture 2/

Lisa Littman is talking about her paper, that came out 5 years ago, in which she proposed ROGD. @genspect#GenspectBiggerPicture 1/@LisaLittman1 got emails from therapists thanking her for her research, telling her they had witnessed ROGD in their own practice. But the research, she said, "touched a nerve." Knowing laughs break out in the room. 2/ #GenspectBiggerPicture

Conversion therapy bans: @stellaomalley3 is going to talk about @genspect's reaction to a report on conversion therapy carried out by @tcddublin. These bans are very badly worded, she says - is it cluelessness or something else? 1/ #GenspectBiggerPicture
"My criticism of the conversion therapy bans is that they are useless. It doesn't happen." I know from my own research that this is the same in Belgium and France, too. 2/

@genspect Alasdair Gunn takes the stage. Talks about how he met a bunch of parents of trans boys, about whom not much had been written at all, published about it in @Quillette. 1/
Alasdair was groomed online as a kid, which turned him into a paedophile hunter (a couple of men went to prison.) He started to wonder if "trans" boys were being groomed too. "Now," he says "they can just say 'gender'" #GenspectBiggerPicture 2/

Panel with @cwknews@sueevansprotect and @stellaomalley3. A woman from the States asks Davies-Arai about book bans in her country. There is an instinct to ban the books - but getting rid of the books will not make these beliefs disappear. 1/ #GenspectBiggerPicture@cwknews: I think the answer is education because you won't put this genie back in the bottle. Provide alternatives, like @RooneyRachel's My Body Is Me. We need more books that challenge the idea you have to change your body. @Transgendertrd has another one in the pipeline. 2/

Starts talking about minds, babies and Freud stuff. Some people deal better with trauma, but we all have to learn that we don't always come first, to separate from our carers, and deal with it. That makes healthy minds. 2/
