I’m about to say something that’s going to sound like a crazy conspiracy theory.

It’s about mastectomies and stem cells and biotechnology and this beating heart tissue in a lab.

I just keep wondering what Planned Parenthood and Kaiser and all these companies that remove healthy mammary gland tissues are doing with those tissues.

And I am just not fully assured that all of it is being disposed of as worthless biohazard hospital waste.

In honor of #ROGDAwarenessDay I'm excited to announce a new resource for concerned parents of trans-identified youth: ROGD Repair, a Course + Community for Parents.
Looking for answers beyond affirmation — and a way to actually get through to your child?
rogdrepair.com ROGD Repair is an interactive and ever-expanding toolkit of psychology concepts and communication skills curated specifically for parents like you, based on what has actually worked for my clients who were desperate to improve their relationships and save their kids.

Please drop links here to examples of Cluster B traits & behaviors amongst trans influencers, especially in videos. Histrionic, borderline, narcissistic, and antisocial behaviors may include grandiosity, attention-seeking, lack of empathy, entitlement, & emotional instability. To start us off, for example, here's Dylan Mulvaney's grand reveal after his facial feminization surgery, a perfect display of histrionic narcissism without uttering a word.

Men: if you get flummoxed when your wife or girlfriend is upset, here's a simple formula that provides the building blocks for a response that might help things go better than you’re accustomed to.

1: Pull her close
2: Validate her emotions
3: Take action to solve the problem 1: Pull her close. Start with eye contact, body language, & touch to show her you're present & paying attention. Learn what kind of touch is most effective for her. Many women crave a warm, strong, emphatic embrace that cuts through the clouds like a bold ray of sunshine.

Something we don't discuss often enough when debunking the faux psychology used to uphold gender ideology: the premise that one can easily predict how they will feel in the future, after something happens that has never happened to them before.

This'll require explanation... 🧵 To start: vulnerable young people pushing to be affirmed, transitioned, & medicalized are often fraught with depression + anxiety, but assert with uncanny certainty that when they receive that next step they're begging for, they'll feel better — as if they can actually know this.

As promised: why it's helpful to know your daughter's menstrual cycle 🧵

The first few years of menstruation can be painful, embarrassing, messy, & destabilizing. The gender cult preys on this, reframing normal adjustment difficulties as proof a girl wasn't meant to be female. While helping girls adjust is primarily the work of mothers (+aunts, older sisters, etc), & the following thoughts are primarily for mothers, fathers' reactions are important too.

Signs your daughter may be shooting up testosterone behind your back 🧵

This is by no means an authoritative or exhaustive list & does not constitute medical advice. I'd like to crowdsource this thread with help from any detransitioners & ROGD parents willing to contribute. Context: earlier I posted this...

Therapy Twitter (X 🙄) is popping off again about neutrality & not imposing our values on our clients. How are we going to square this with the reality that so many therapists are imposing gender ideology onto vulnerable young people & pushing them down a path of lifelong medicalization? And how can I, as a therapist, remain “neutral” about something so unconscionable? Is it time to explore the concept of "neutrality within limits?" What precisely are the limits to therapeutic neutrality?
Some things about ourselves we cannot help but to give away: by our mannerisms, style of dress, facial expressions, office decor or virtual backgrounds...

The black line = people getting mental health care.
The red line = people reporting their mental health is excellent.

For at least a few years, these numbers seemed to correspond — as you’d expect to see if therapy was achieving its purpose.

Then, a strange thing happened. The two lines diverged and started moving in opposite directions.

As the number of people “in treatment” increased, their satisfaction with their own well-being decreased.

Why would we see such a thing?

To better understand what @stellaomalley3 & @ngusdair point out here about the harms of breast-binding, we need to understand the link between thoughts, feelings, & actions — and why modern gender dysphoria is a whole lot like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. 🧵

Every day we each experience thousands of thoughts, feelings, & actions. Cumulatively, these can move us toward or away from mental & physical wellness, or any particular goals we may have.

GOP debates mentioned "Rich Men North of Richmond" to open. Vivek smiled big at this

Are any detransitioners available to testify virtually this Tuesday at 5pm PST against HB 2458?

URGENT: please submit written testimony by Tuesday, Feb 14, to oppose Oregon HB2458.

This bill, if passed, would extend our insanely defined ban against so-called "conversion therapy" from minors (as currently written) to people of all ages.

olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2023R1/Tes… There is no "conversion therapy" crisis. In fact, what we have is a crisis of blind "affirmation" with life-altering consequences.

This bill would make it near impossible for therapists to question patients' complex reasons for wanting to pursue "transition."

Wow! This quiz is completely incoherent.

Here are some screenshots of its questions. 🧵

Note that being attracted to men only is not an option, while having mostly male friends somehow matters.

Do I get nervous in a room full of men? Sure.

Have I ever felt like being a woman held me back? Maybe.

How do people react to seeing you with your partner - is this a trick question to assess homosexuality?

Hey, you all remember that awesome account that got suspended, @CourageHabit? My interview with their president, Alvin Lui, is coming out Monday on @some_therapist, so don’t forget to tune in!

It’s alarming that some people of perfectly adequate intellectual capacity can see a psychiatrist for years, regarding meds for “depression & anxiety,” yet never be informed that… ahem… wait for it…

These are not lifelong conditions. Some people genuinely think that because they started antidepressants at the ripe age of, say, 14…

because their dog died or favorite cousin moved away or middle schoolers were mean or the birth control they took for acne was unwittingly messing with their mood…

Laura Wiley Haynes @haynes_wiley has been suspended since August, for her well-evidenced opinion that mental health care is the best way to address dysphoria and self hatred in kids.

As a CASA, she has worked with the population with the HIGHEST rate of trans ID-- Foster Youth. Why would a randomly-occurring, innate trait be *fifteen times* higher among foster youth than among kids in general?

Dear @NightShiftMD,

Let’s chat about “evolving with the times and demonstrating empathy for our patients and their families,” one healthcare provider to another.

https://twitter.com/nightshiftmd/status/1607751228137607168

I’m an LMFT specializing in working with 2 rapidly growing populations with significant clinical needs: detransitioners, & parents of trans-identifying youth.
Detransitioners have novel, complex, profound medical needs, with elevated disease & disability rates for their age.

I’m a therapist with both lived and professional experience pertaining to grooming, molestation, & sexual violence.

“Consent” alone is NOT an adequate guiding value for sexual ethics. I’ll tell you why.

🧵 When “consent” is THE primary guiding value for collective sexual ethics, here’s who primarily stands to lose:

-The young & naive
-The mentally ill & intellectually impaired
-Molestation survivors
-Females
-People with abandonment or daddy issues
-Agreeable people

Why?

Let’s talk apparel & merch!

If you wanted to support your favorite podcasters, express your beliefs through gear/apparel, or show solidarity with detransitioners, what online stores would you patronize?

Shameless self promotion welcome. I’ll start with a few places I know of. For Adult Human Female t-shirts, stickers, “make women female again” baseball caps & the like, @StandingforXX’s shop
