Big Tranny

One of the co-founders of the far-left LGBTQ charity Stonewall has accused the group of discrediting equal rights activism by embracing far-left ideology on transgenderism, such as claiming there is no difference between the bodies of men and women.

James Esses had volunteered at Childline for five years but that counted for nothing when he shared concerns over their gender ideology…

James Esses turned 30 this week and has been doing a lot of reflecting. Last year, he was ejected from his psychotherapist training course – three years in – for openly discussing his fears that young children expressing discomfort in their bodies were being actively encouraged to transition; weeks later, Childline removed him from his volunteer role as a counsellor on the same grounds. After racking up more than 1,000 hours at the charity over the course of five years, attending one night a week after his work as a criminal barrister, he had been alarmed by such calls becoming more frequent; the callers younger. Of his subsequent battle against both institutions, he says “the pain and hurt is as raw as ever”.

I am starting to get the impression that the proponents of this gender quackery know they’ll face child abuse charges, medical malpractice suits and eventually jail, so they have no choice but to double down.

Trans ideology is undermining the fight for women’s rights.

Why can’t the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) bring itself to use the word ‘woman’?

In the wake of the leaked Supreme Court opinion, suggesting that Roe v Wade could soon be overturned, the ACLU has stepped up its campaigning. Roe v Wade has guaranteed the legality of abortion across the United States for the past 50 years. Its demise would give a green light to the many red-state legislators who are chomping at the bit to introduce new bans and restrictions on abortion.

Though the New York Times touts its findings, a new study provides further evidence that “gender-affirming” therapy creates or prolongs the very problem it purports to solve.

Last week, the New York Times reported on a “first of its kind” study purporting to show that a “vast majority” of “transgender children” continue to identify as transgender five years after they begin their “social transition.” According to the study’s lead investigator, Princeton University psychologist Kristina Olson, only 2.5 percent of the children tracked over that period reverted to the sex they were “assigned at birth.” An additional 3.5 percent identified as “nonbinary,” leaving 94 percent who persisted in their cross-sex identification.

Speaking out against trans ideology has become a risky business for female athletes.

Two elite British female runners, one of whom is an Olympian, have told the BBC that transwomen should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports.

The content of the interview won’t blow any minds. The two athletes argue that biologically male transwomen, historically known as men, should only be allowed to compete in the category of their biological sex. Even just a few years ago, this would have been common sense. After all, there’s a reason women have their own separate sporting categories – because it’s fair.

At the age of 18, one woman found that she was not comfortable in the body she was born in and began the journey of transitioning to male.

Now, after spending six years completing the process, Alia Ismail, 27, from Michigan, is de-transitioning back to female after realising that her new identity did not represent who she was.

Alia began to use male pronouns and dress more masculine at 18, undergoing a medical transition at the age of 20, and taking hormones to increase testosterone.

A retired teacher is filing a defamation lawsuit against Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) and its board chair for calling her “transphobic” and ordering her to stay home from school after she raised questions about the age-appropriateness of sexual content in children’s books in an elementary school library earlier this year.

Carolyn Burjoski, who worked as a WRDSB teacher for 20 years, announced her legal action in a video on May 4, saying that the incident exposed “a serious problem” that school boards are “using language and human rights legislations as weapons to silence anyone who questions their policies.”

“In my view, the message to all teachers is clear: ‘If you speak up, you will be punished,’” she said.

The science behind gender ideology is dubious at best

What if you woke up one morning and found you’d swapped bodies with someone else: your mum, the boy next door, “a monstrous vermin”, an older version of yourself? Would you still be “you”?

There’s a reason this setup is a classic. Most of us feel that there’s an “us” conceptually distinct from the body we inhabit. In fact, anthropologists suggest it’s a belief held in some form or other across all human cultures.

The attack on Dave Chappelle reminds us why we must never equate violence with words.

We don’t know why that man rushed comic legend Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl last night, allegedly wielding a replica gun with a blade inside. What we do know is that Chappelle’s attacker got his arse handed to him by security, if the images of him being wheeled into an ambulance, bloodied, cuffed and with his arm cocked at a gruesome angle are anything to go by. And we also know that Chappelle handled it all like a pro, returning to the stage shortly after the attack to quip that it was a ‘trans man’ who had tackled him to the floor, a nod to the heat Chappelle has caught in recent years for his jokes about gender ideology.
