I reject the term "detransitioner" just like I reject the notion of transition itself. There is nothing to transition to or back from. We are always 100% our sex, regardless of sex masking drugs and plastic surgery.

Women can't "live as men." Women can disguise their secondary sex characteristics and be mistaken for men, this is an experience women can have while living as women.

This is the experience of "living as a woman disguised as a man." It is still not the experience of "living as a man."

Just like if plastic surgery was better and a person could disguise themselves as a dog, they would still be "living as a human disguised as a dog" and not "living as a dog."

I prefer to say that a person has de-medicalized, or no longer has trans ideation, or no longer subscribes to cult-think. I think it is useful to help former cult members demystify the cult. Using the word "detransitioner" acts to give credence to the cult rather than dispel it. Especially for those most harmed, they need deprogramming, not a repetition of the programming. They need language that does not reify the very cult they are attempting to leave.

I disagree. I do not respect any reason for sex deception. JK explains that she uses the word “trans” to denote “people who wish to be seen or treated as the opposite sex.” But it is always toxic and a dangerous to deceive others about your sex. Safeguarding requires staying grounded in our adaptive instincts to recognize sex. No other animals would participate in the false mimetic signals of imitative deceivers.

When faced with deceptive mimicry, all other animals work to stay grounded in their adaptive instincts to dispel false mimetic signals.

It is urgently important not to give any credence to the lie that there is such a thing as “trans.” Everything to do with transgender ideology is harmful, regardless of whether it’s for children or adults.

It is urgently important to the health of the culture at large to point out that self harm is always maladaptive. It is insane to cut off healthy tissue in order to mimic the opposite sex. And it’s unhealthy to attempt to deceive the sex recognition instincts of others, especially children. Sex recognition is one of our oldest evolutionary safeguards. theknownheretic.com/p/sex-mimics-a…

Mike Keegan asks Mark Adams @iocmedia what the reason is for the IOC saying that the IBA sex test (which was independently overseen by a CAS a fully independent tribunal) doesn't meet the criteria. (1 min video excerpt, full video link in 3rd post below)

Mark makes two very odd disingenuous remarks:

1. He says there is no reason for the test and acts baffled as to why such a test would asked for.
2. Brags that the IOC has done away with sex testing and pretends not to understand why such a test would exist.

This is a massive safeguarding failure for women and Mark knows it! The reason that sex testing was implemented in women's Olympic sports was for reasons of both safety and fairness and to stop male cheats from hurting women and stealing their rightful accomplishments. From 1968 to 1999, for more than 30 years, every woman who competed in the Olympics in every single sport had to take a chromosome test and get a card verifying that they were female.

Since then the criteria for safety in women's sports has become more and more lax, leaving women vulnerable to men stealing their awards and putting their safety at risk.

Reminder: gender dysphoria is a bogus diagnosis based on the insane premise that one's mentally conceived identity might be wrong for one's body. The diagnosis was specifically created to be able to bill insurance for unnecessary drugs and cosmetic surgeries and to create lifelong medical patients.

Below are the diagnostic criteria for the DSM-5 diagnosis of gender dysphoria. 5 out of the 8 criteria have to do with the rejection of sex role stereotypes. Kids who reject sexist stereotypes are normal kids.

Kids who receive judgment, criticism, or harassment for rejecting stereotypes and are therefore "distressed," should be given tools to critique the sexist standards of culture. These kids should not be told their distress is evidence of having a mental condition that proves a need to harm their healthy body with damaging drugs and plastic surgery.

Being put into a narrow box is uncomfortable. Kids who feel uncomfortable with society's boxes are having a natural response. When a child is diagnosed with gender dysphoria for being sex stereotype nonconforming it pathologizes their natural response and strips them of the agency to critique the narrow sex roles prescribed by culture. Instead, kids should be empowered to accept themselves fully without rejecting their body.

The remaining 3 criteria are behaviors that are typical of kids who have experienced sexual abuse. If a child rejects their genitals for any reason the immediate follow-up of any mental health professional should be to investigate for possible sexual abuse. Body dissociation is a trauma response and should not be naturalized or encouraged. Graphics like this 2013 HuffPost image used to be used to help kids critique sexist standards in advertising toys. Guidance like this is no longer used. Today if a girl likes a toy that is advertised for boys, this is used as diagnostic criteria and evidence that she might be "born in the wrong body" and that she should be put on puberty blockers, wrong sex hormones, and get a breast amputation.

Recently footage of a violent attack at Hazlebrook Middle School in the Tigard-Tualatin School District in Oregon went viral. The attack features a boy grabbing a girl from behind, pulling her to the ground, rolling her around by her hair, hitting her multiple times on the head and arms, and finally releasing her with the warning, “talk shit again bitch.” (This was not his first time assaulting a girl.)

The video is alarming for a number of reasons: due to its violent nature, the fact that it is a boy attacking a girl, and the fact that the boy attacks her unprovoked from behind. But this is not exactly why the video has gone viral. A large reason that this video has received over 10 million social media views and massive national media attention is because this particular boy calls himself a “transgender girl.”

This boy in Oregon is not the only boy who calls himself a trans girl who has assaulted girls at school:

-In Louden County, VA two separate girls were raped and assaulted by a boy calling himself gender fluid.
-In Oklahoma, a boy claiming to be trans assaulted two girls in the bathroom.
-In Texas a boy calling himself a transgender girl, put a girl in the hospital due to his assault.
-In Riverside, CA a boy who identifies as transgender assaulted a girl after spitting on her and exposing himself in the girl’s locker room.
-In Brazil a boy who identifies as trans assaulted two girls because they were advocating for single-sex bathrooms.

Why do these incidents keep happening? Policymakers such as the Superintendent of Tigard-Tualatin School District, Sue Reiki-Smith, would like us to believe that the claimed gender identities of the boy in question is unrelated to the assault on a girl.

She, and other school officials, see no relationship between policies that allow boys to disregard the bodily integrity of girls in their intimate spaces and sports and increasing incidents of male violence against girls. We gather to talk back and speak up for the safety of girls.

A 10-year-old autistic girl was recently suspended for 2 days for questioning a boy in the girls' bathrooms.

Of course, the boy in question identifies as a "trans girl."

Dangerous precedents are being set by gender ideology policies that teach girls that speaking up for your boundaries will get you in trouble! This is an absolute failure to protect our girls and fortify them with the tools to develop healthy boundaries!
The literal messaging on these bathroom guidance posters teaches girls that bathrooms are not places for the healthy functioning of their bodies, places for bodily privacy, places for the unique sex based issues girls might face, but that bathrooms are places for abstract identity validation.

The instructions here are clear, it is the responsibility of girls to take care of the emotional needs of boys before their own physical and safeguarding needs.

This attack happened at Hazlebrook Middle School in the Tigard Tualatin School District in Oregon. What you're seeing is a large boy, who identifies as a girl assaulting a young girl from behind.

This is sex-based violence.

While we don't know what motivated the boy to attack this girl, we do know that schools in Oregon aggressively push gender identity ideology in their schools, giving boys the right to violate girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, & sports. I reflect that when boys are entitled to cross girls' boundaries, that is already the encouragement of violence. It follows that more violence against girls would be a logical outcome of such policies.
This is not the first time girls have been attacked by boys who claim a new "gender identity." In Louden County, Virginia, two girls were raped by a boy claiming to be gender fluid in the girls locker room: wtop.com/loudoun-county…

There are two kinds of feelings: physical sensations & emotions.

1. Men can't feel physical sensations for internal organs they don't have. So they don't "physically feel" like a woman.

2. There are no woman-exclusive emotions. All humans can feel all emotions. So they don't "emotionally feel" like a woman.

When a man claims to "feel like women" this is not literal, this is an abstract obsessive thought that has no basis in material reality. The thought might cause him to feel things like anxiety or sexual arousal, but the one thing he absolutely can't feel is "like a woman." This is similar as to when an anorexic says she "feels fat." She neither feels the physical sensations of having an obese body, nor does she feel "fat emotions."

She has become obsessed with the mental idea that she is fat. This idea causes her a kind of feeling of anxiety, but it is her thinking that is causing her feelings of discomfort. The phrase "I feel fat" is a mental notion, an idea, a thing she thinks about herself, and not a "feeling" at all.

There is NO biological basis for thinking you are the opposite sex. It’s an abstract obsessive thought. It’s exacerbated by cultural narrow regressive sex role stereotypes that also have no basis in biology. Transgender, transsexual, transvestism, all bogus cultural terms. Men ALWAYS feel like men because they are always physically processing the sensations of their male body. There are no other sensations available for them to process. Same goes for women.

The scope of the campaign to indoctrinate kids to dissociate from their primary instincts for sex recognition is overwhelming. Under this level of propaganda aimed to create dissociation, it's hard for kids to have healthy bodily autonomy that's key to boundaries & safeguarding. Dissociated, disembodied kids who are confused about the realities of sex & their own bodies are not able to develop strong boundaries. How can you listen to the safeguarding instincts of your body when you have been programmed to conceptualize yourself as "other" than your body.

@laraalix exposes porn site @facialabuse2. Porn narratives are normalized in popular culture. Normalization/desensitization are grooming tactics. Glamorization of violence against women is a strategy female subjugation/dominance/control.

Our pain/pleasure response exists as a safeguarding guidance system. Now, our empathetic response to women's pain is being subverted. Pain is being "glamorized," made to appear elite, enviable, & glamorous.

There's no such thing as "gender dysphoria." That term is a political term in which the psychiatric industry tacitly colludes in the notion of "gender identity." GI is a branding term used to sell drugs & extreme plastic surgery. There is no such "condition" as gender dysphoria. The term GD is one of displaced responsibility. It makes the problem one that comes from "inside" the patient, instead of recognizing that the patient is simply reacting to regressive sexist cultural projections. Clients need to be taught to critique culture, not their bodies.

For immediate release:

I'm often accused of being "hateful" because I believe that safeguarding necessitates that women/girls deserve protections on the basis of our sex. I refuse to deny the embodied sex based differences of men & women and I uphold that to deny these is SEXIST. In the face of accusations of "hate" I always ask my accusers to directly quote the "hateful" part of what I've said. They're unable to quote back to me anything hateful in my own words. So they either respond that I should "know" or they simply never respond.

In light of the events that happened at the YMCA in Port Townsend Washington where they banned an 80 year old woman for safeguarding children, we have decided to come together to show our support for Miss Julie Jaman. #LetJulieSwim
Single-sex spaces are the right of every woman and girl. It is absolutely necessary to protect these spaces for safeguarding, for dignity, and for respect. So we stand in solidarity with Julie Jaman. #LetJulieSwim

Can we discuss the "transman gotcha?"

This is the gotcha wherein women who self identify as "transmen" are used against women in arguments pertaining to single sex spaces. As in "so you're saying you want 'him' in your space..." cut to picture of Buck Angel or the like. Often, rather than build a case for why men who identify as "transwomen" should have special access to women's spaces, an argument is built around how to police the genitals coming into those spaces.

Some clarifications about radical feminism as currently there seems to be a lot of misinformation flying around.

Radical feminism is not an "ideology" it's an analysis and critique of patriarchy. Much like Marxism is an analysis and critique of capitalism. The analysis of radical feminism is that the root of female oppression is the control/exploitation of female bodies as well as our relegation to lesser gender status.This is simply a lens through which to analyze culture. It's a structural critique of patriarchal social systems.
