How to abuse children in plain sight

Posted on December 16, 2020 by

We woke up this morning intending to write about something else, readers, and then we saw perhaps the most horrifying thing we’ve ever seen in the two years since we first started taking an interest in transgender ideology.

It’s only tangentially related to this site’s purpose, but the truth is that as human beings we cannot stand by and watch this happening without at least trying to use whatever platform we have to raise awareness of it.

(The black bars on images in this article were added by us.)

Last week the High Court in England ruled that children under the age of 16 were not medically competent to consent to treatment with so-called “puberty blocker” drugs of the type that were used to “chemically castrate” the computing pioneer Alan Turing for being homosexual (a crime in the UK in the 1950s), which is believed to have led to his suicide by cyanide poisoning at the age of 41.

The most common such drug nowadays is Lupron, used as a treatment/alternative punishment on rapists and paedophiles to reduce their offending by destroying their sexual function. It has not been tested for use on “transgender” children and nobody knows how much permanent harm it could do them (although the likely answer is “a lot”), which is why the High Court ruled against it last week.

But apparently that doesn’t matter.

Emma Williams has raised her son, who is now 13, as a female since the age of eight and claims he’s been “trans” since he was three, an age when children barely even understand the concepts of boys and girls and can just about construct a sentence.

She’s been wheeling him around the country and parading him as some sort of proxy LGBTQ icon for half a decade.

She’s now raising money to ensure she can pump her child full of dangerous, untested drugs normally used on violent criminals for (at least) the next half-decade.

Williams intends to source these chemicals from a company called GenderGP.

But GenderGP isn’t “in the UK” at all. It’s run from Spain by two former British doctors who were struck off the UK medical register and fined £12,000 for illegally prescribing puberty blockers to hundreds of children as young as 12, and then fled to Malaga in order to continue trading under the country’s more lax regulations regarding children. (It was legal to have sex with 13-year-olds in Spain until 2015.)

The Webberleys’ illegal online drug-dealing operation had been implicated in the 2018 suicide of a disturbed young woman called Jayden Lowe, who they’d been selling male hormones to in an attempt to turn her into a man.

We are unable to explain why GoFundMe is hosting a fundraiser explicitly to help an adult break the law in order to harm a child who the High Court has just found to be incapable of consenting to that harm. If you shot a child in the genitals it wouldn’t be a legal defence to say that you’d bought the gun by mail order from a criminal in a foreign country, nor that the child said they wanted to be shot.

But perhaps the most disturbing aspect of all is that the general public is stampeding to donate for this unfortunate child to be abused. Thomas Hamilton, Myra Hindley and Ian Brady all hurt and killed a lot of children, but at least they didn’t crowdfund it.

(The fundraiser also clearly breaks GoFundMe’s own terms and conditions.)

It is this site’s view that the grotesque and reckless medical atrocities currently being carried out against untold numbers of children in the name of trans ideology will shortly be seen as a scandal on a par with that of thalidomide, paedophile rings in the Catholic church or the crimes of Jimmy Savile.

We’re sorry to those tired of reading about this subject here, but we cannot be among the people who stand by and turn a blind eye while these crimes happen, particularly while the Scottish Government entrusted with winning independence appears to be among the enthusiastic participants. We are not fighting for that Scotland.

    Webberley again. These parents of such children just seem desperate for their child to be special so they can bask in the reflected glow. Much like those who used to push children on the stage or screen to be stars, or the more recent ‘beauty pageant moms’ who dressed them up like little adults old beyond their years or their understanding. The Desmond phenomenon though takes it to a huge new low. I guess there must be something badly lacking in the life of the parent, unfortunately often the mother, to cause such lapses of care and such exploitation.

    It’s an important issue in itself, but vital when it comes to the independence movement. I’m always glad when anyone is willing to tackle it head on given the pressure against doing so and you’ve been one of the first and bravest, and I know you won’t thank me for the comparison, but JK Rowling is equally brave and stalwart – even given all her protection of money and fame, she spoke out against most of her own fan base and that took guts, but to stick to her principles was even more remarkable in her than you. Many thanks for continuing to stand firm.

    Under 16s – can’t smoke, can’t drink, can’t get a tattoo, can’t marry, can’t join the armed forces, can’t vote…and probably much more….but yet they have ‘supposedly’ the cognitive ability to give consent to life-changing medication.

    Puberty is not just the development of sexual maturity it is also closely linked to brain development. Suppressing the natural change into adulthood has consequences.

    This is child abuse.

    How many times have we, as an adult, signed a disclaimer to give informed consent in a hospital for a procedure without properly knowing the side effects, implications and outcomes of the said procedure. We trust it and sign accordingly.

    But these drugs are experimental on children and are often ‘off-label’, there are no long term efficacy data studies on children. Tavistock even couldn’t produce data in the Kiera Bell case.

    I say again this is child abuse.

    And the normalisation of trans children under the ‘affirmation’ approach is negligent.
    We don’t affirm anorexia.
    We don’t affirm body dysmorphia when people want to cut off limbs. Or other such dysmorphic manifestations.

    Yes, adolescents with gender dysphoria should be treated in the healthcare system with dignity and support, including psychological and psychiatry support- but ‘affirmation’ is a fast track to puberty blockers, cross hormones, infertility, sexual immaturation and dysfunction.

    Children should not be put on that path – that is child abuse.

    And as for the political and media pile on for those that want to protect children and adolescents – fucking shame on you all!!!!!

    It’s bad enough women are having to fight for the scientific definition of what it is to be a women – but ‘children’ we all have a duty to protect them. Stand up and be counted on this!

    Way back in the 50’/60’s when there was a scientific question – nature or nurture – regarding the 2 sexes, an American couple, deliberately raised their son, as a girl.

    I’m sure there was a documentary on it.

    When he was an adult – he spoke out about how much it affected him (negatively) and how cruel it was.

    If only our Social Sevices had not be so extensively ‘lobbied’ by Stonewall, etc, they might actually be looking at the mother in this case, as Child Cruelty and a Child Safety issue.

    Kids may think they’re all grown up but the truth is they haven’t a clue about the real world, They believe everything the grown ups tell them. Of course they shouldn’t be making such life changing decisions like this that could lead to permanent infertility and bone disease while they’re just weans. Poor kids.

    £13000 x 1600 = £20,800, 000

    Wow £20 million quid.

    No doubt the Medical Authorities have a cap on how much they actually are allowed to fine other Doctors – but even so, under the circumstances that fine is sweetie money.

    If anyone is still wondering why this whole agenda has been so well organised, funded, so orchestrated and aggressive in its campaigning

    I have 20 million answers.

    And since Mike Russell, in his own words, is such a proponent of Private Health Care, it is perhaps not such a surprise that he can’t seem to find a moral compass on this issue.

    And of course this is before Gender re-allignment surgery = another 25,000 (possibly dollars), followed on by a lifetime of HRT – 10 years worth 800,000 (again think its dollars).

    I agree the Sandyford Clinic needs a spotlight put right on it.

    I was horrified that NS was leaving the decisions up to clinicians on puberty blockers after the Kiera Bell case win. Is she off her head? Talk about being under the kosh of the trans lobby!!! She’s an utter disgrace, all puberty blockers should have been stopped immediately for under 16s after that case win!!!

    The YES movement has made some little wins on this issue but this fight is like Goliath – people need to get informed and step up and agitate to their MSPs.

    Again I say, the Glinner Update is a good start, he still does his War on Women expose each week.

    We can’t rely on SNP members to sort this shit out, it’s gonna need to be the YES movement – time to get active – let your MSP know that their re-election depends on neutering the trans lobby influence under the SNP.

    To your MSP, you can start with:
    no puberty blockers for under 16s.
    A clear scientific definition of woman / female in law
    No self ID – GRC only to be granted under the current arrangement of the law
    Abolishment of ‘affirmation’ approach in adolescents with gender dysphoria care delivered by psychological / psychiatric support
    No influence of trans lobby ‘education’ in schools

    No child at the age of three, or even 12,knows what they want to be when they grow up. The parents might know what they want their child to be, though. From budding doctors, through musicians and sportspeople, to the activity described here, it is all about the parents deciding to restrict the child’s options in life based on their own, not the child’s, desires. As a society we need to step back from squashing children into boxes from an early age, and let them develop their own life-directions.

    Could this be a contempt of court issue as they are defying the outcome of the court case?’

    With regards the mother – No, only if they had actually been involved in the court case itself and decided to ignore its ruling.

    For any medical practitioner (in England) to continue to provide this service for minors – they would be at risk of legal action of some description, but not necessarily contempt of court.

    The Doctors in Spain are outwith the jurisdiction of the Courts ruling.

    But the ruling of the court has set a clear legal precedent. Anyone in the UK carrying out this type of medical procedure on a child – is committing an unlawful medical procedure and opening themselves up to criminal allegations of child abuse.

    Anyone attempting to procure this treatment for a child – child abuse.

    There is an inbuilt legal bias in favour of the medical profession – ultimately the courts do not want to be presiding over medical mistakes and potentially putting Doctors in jail.

    For this reason they will always attempt to ensure such matters are dealt with under medical complaints procedure.

    Incidentally there are international laws with regards Child Abuse – which I think were written more with regards to sex offences against minors. And I don’t know the English versions.

    But the principle was, you could not just take the kids abroad, commit sexual offences against them there and get off scot free by not doing so once home.

    This is one philosophy I followed. I would not have my children forever, as one day they would be young grownups, and eventually adults, I could not keep them, like a price of furniture I had chosen , or a pair of curtains, they were only mine to lend, I had them on loan,
    So besides keeping them from doing harm to others or themselves, making sure they were educated, and ensuring happiness and innocence as they grew up,
    I did not try to mould them into what I wanted, I did not try to live my life through them, nor flagship them for the sake of popular opinion,
    this is what this mother is doing, she is forgetting to let the child be a child. And creating deliberate internal harm mentally to that child in the future years as an adult, confusing and doubt will never be far away, there is no going back. She is contributing to damaging a young human being,

I for one wouldn’t have noticed because you don’t tend to look at who’s going into a cubicle next to you. Why all this demand for their rights when it’s never been an issue up to now.

    Sad, dark, state of affairs for the child.
    No matter the outcome of this crowd funder, positive/negative, no child can cope in the long-term with this level of exposure to media, fame, celebrity, national interest. As a very loose comparison, the pressures on no-longer required child actors as they reach adulthood can be devastating.
    I doubt there are few coping mechanisms or therapy yet devised that can counsel a child/adult presenting with an as yet untested condition that is a) gender confusion due to Munchausen by proxy b) celebrity by proxy c) reliance on long-term expensive chemical treatment.

    This must be Munchausen’s by Proxy, and, as such, these ‘mothers’ – ffs, why is it usually women? – ought to be liable to prosecution or at the very least, a court should hand down a sentence of a period in a psychiatric hospital for the ‘mother’. This woman is a sandwich, if not an entire loaf, short a picnic. How could any three-year-old tell you that he/she is the opposite sex? Even if they said something like that, they are children and need to be protected, not exploited as extras on the ‘mother’s’ ME SHOW. Many children, apparently, claim to be the opposite sex, and child psychologists, in the main, suggest that it is a normal part of childhood and that the child usually grows out of it – which reality proves to be the case.

    It is not hard to understand why many girls, in particular, find puberty and approaching womanhood very difficult. Womanhood is extremely difficult – because of what women go through to produce the next generation. Those women who are natural Earth Mothers are blessed, but most of us have a hard time of it, juggling life, work and children on top of being held down on a sex-based level, too. That aside, some children will come to realize that they are gay rather than trans, and will need help adjusting, and feeding them drugs that could harm their physical self, and, even their mental self, is beyond understanding. Until they are old enough to make their own decisions – at 16 – no adult should have the right to feed them these things.

    It is some doctors, the strident trans lobby and some politicians, and the Big Pharma and Tech companies (allegedly) who push this stuff, who need to be stopped until science catches up with the trans condition. It may well be scientifically proven in the future that it exists as a reality, but, until then, we all, as a society, have a duty to protect children from the malign, deluded effects of it as it stands right now.

    Furthermore, we need to protect everything and everyone by refusing to alter the law any more to make provision for the creeping legalization of the trans ideology in all its forms, taking away other people’s already-established human rights. If, in the future, this ideology becomes established fact, and not just a ‘feeling’ in someone’s head, then the law can be changed to reflect that, but, until then, as the Rev says, we cannot stand back and allow innocent children to be hauled on the stage of someone else’s life to act out the role of the supporting actor or extra. It is diabolical. It is even more diabolical because the trans lobby has its human rights on a par with the rest of us, but it actually wants children’s and women’s to add to its accumulated total to date.

    Why mothers? I can only hazard a guess & others have pointed to those monstrous, pushy backstage mothers of the past, wanting to gain the fame and attention they yearned for in their own lives by living vicariously through their children.

    Mothers usually want the best for their children which means that their dearest wish would be that their children would not need any medical intervention. Yet these mothers want to subject their child to drug intervention & possible surgery because of ‘feelings’.

    As unhinged as these mothers are, it has to be asked where are the medical professionals in all of this? By now, one would have expected there to be mounting criticism from professional bodies on this bizarre situation. It shouldn’t be left to private individuals resorting to the courts. Apart form a few individuals, the silence from medical professionals on this is is reprehensible. (Hence the reason why politicians like Mike Russell can glibly slither out of any responsibility.)

    When all of this rightly becomes a scandal and society wakes up to the damage that has been caused to young people we should remember the silence which facilitated this & the many academics who enabled this by their complicit support.

    However, I have the uneasy feeling that so much of the establishment has been captured by this madness that it will be hushed up very quickly and those who were complicit will exculpate themselves.

    This reminds me of the response of public services to racism in the 1980’s.They employed really prejudiced agencies from minority communities who only succeeded in confirming the prejudices of those they were sent to ‘enlighten’. They got huge sums for providing this ‘education’ but were only stopped when it was discovered they were financing radicalism or worse.

    There is prejudice and racism in the public services but it requires honest endeavour to rectify not just other forms of prejudice.

    Informative article Rev Stu.

    The logic of allowing minors without full legal capacity right to chemically or physically have their body butchered is absolutely insane.

    The participation of a medical practitioner facilitating chemical and or physical butchery of a child’s body is of course another issue. What a child, thinks at ten, eleven, twelve years of age is quite different from what that child may think when he or she becomes a minor and then later on a legal adult at eighteen. In fact there are many within the legal profession who would consider such medical intervention to be professionally negligent and downright wrong.

    Of course the minority Trans promoters give not a jot about what the vast majority of mainstream advice understands. They want to turn societies laws and protections on their heads.

    Maybe if a twelve year, or an eight year old decides he or she doesn’t want their legs then the Trans Lobby will scream that is the twelve year olds entitlement to have their legs cut off, and woe betide any vicious racist hate filled individual who would suggest otherwise.

    The whole thing is just absolute insanity and our dear SNP leadership are in the grip of the nonsense.

    Time the SNP straightened their act or time there was a new party. Sturgeon and her Trans Wokes, and that includes the clown prince Michael Russell who would privatise all health care and issue entitlement vouchers took a hike. Ordinary people are sick of this.

    Good Afternoon Folks,

    Tonight our written arguments in the case become public, them being lodged with the court as we speak. A copy of them will be available at 7pm on the Peoples Action on Section 30 Twitter account here: https://twitter.com/PeoplesAS30

    In addition, the press has been informed and there may be some reporting tonight. We also have the fundraiser which has re-opened as of last night and is ticking along. With all this in mind, it seems appropriate to try and raise the profile of the case because it is still clear that there are a lot of people that don’t know anything about it – and we think it is important that the UK Government are sent the message that we’re not going away. So! I think it’s time for us to make a noise on social media again. What do you think?

    Social Media Storm

    From 7 pm tonight, we’re asking everyone to use the hashtags #PeoplesAS30 and #OurRightToChoose
    We’d appreciate it if you can share the link to the arguments which will be available from 7 pm on the Twitter account above, and also the CrowdJustice page which has the previous opinions, arguments, pre-litigation correspondence etc on it, as well as the fundraiser. http://www.crowdjustice.com/pas30

    Famous 15: in some cases – the trans activist and the trans person are one and the same, but you are right to point out the difference. I normally refer to the ‘trans lobby’ as it is the lobbying group which comprises Stonewall and trans groups. Trans women have been living quietly and respectfully among us since the first transitioning in the 1970s. It is precisely the vociferous and nasty trans lobby, often led by misogynistic gay men who appear to hate women, and virtue-signalling supporters, usually young, natal women, who make all the noise and who try to ‘gaslight’ us with threats and denials of threats, lies and denials of lies, telling us that such and such is scientifically true then retreating and telling us they said no such thing. It is exhausting and mentally confusing, which is the point, of course, because they simply move on to another delusion associated with the original when you corner them or refuse to answer questions because they are patently right and you are a transphobic person who wants to make them hurt themselves by refusing to be part of their delusion. Even those who have transitioned need a lot more studying before we should go changing laws to suit them.

    Scotsrenewables: absolutely agree that independence is still the goal and that we need the SNP for that. However, it does not hurt to let them know that we are watching their every political move now. If they go ahead with this stuff after 2021 and not with independence, I doubt that the leadership will last six months tops. Self-ID and access to women’s safe spaces was never part of the human rights ruling from the UN, and the EHRC also made exceptions in relation to trans people, in line with the 2010 Equality Act, where they could be denied access to certain sex-based spaces and rights. There never was a need for the SG to go down this road at all, but they chose to because the FM chose trans rights aas a topic when she addressed the UN. Notably, she did not mention our independence, yet this was the perfect venue for letting the entire world know our predicament.

    Martin has short circuited that election strategy by his case, and makes it very clear that the SNP would have been able to use the same section 30 promise at elections without actually knowing it would be legal.

    Martin and his team will either legally remove that as an option, or confirm its viability prior to the May election.

    It completely nullifies the claim the SNP were going to hold a referendum next year. In defending the case their submission was that they were going to PROPOSE a similar Draft Bill after the election. Not an actual Bill, but a proposal.

    This would have led to much delay in putting a Bill eventually to Holyrood and then having it challenged to get to where Martin Keatings currently stands. .

    Evidently they wanted to delay the whole process even well after the May elections. Could this lend weight to the Referendum funds being misappropriated?

    If your poll is dealing in percentages, 53 SNP vs. 40 Tory/Labour is a 13-point lead. That’s not including the Liberals (who are of course worse when it comes to the GRA) and maybe even Galloway’s crazy mob (he’s a lowlife piece of shit, and I can’t see him having much appeal, but he has won two upset elections so I wouldn’t completely underestimate him). Also we always seem to underperform our polls by a couple of percentage points.

    As I like pointing out, in the 2017 election Theresa May started off with something crazy like a 27-point lead and ended with a 1.5-point one. If the unionists throw the kitchen sink at Sturgeon they can hammer away at that lead. We all know that her record in government is mediocre. I can only speak anecdotally when I say that the polls don’t align with opinions I am hearing expressed here in Glasgow. People are sick of her. She may be getting lionised for her speaking style in the Guardian and on liberal Twitter, but they’ve been on the losing side of every election in the past decade. I am also unconvinced that Edinburgh bankers or Newton Mearns businessmen who claim to like her way of discussing covid are actually going to vote for her if it looks like upsetting the value of their property portfolios.

    Council by-election results, though not especially indicative, are showing unionist tactical voting and haven’t been particularly good for us. Also many of our supporters are complacent and won’t bother turning out.

    Add into that that the voting system is designed to prevent a pro-independence majority, and it’s not particularly hard to see a unionist majority in May. Not likely, but far from impossible.

    As I’ve said before on here, it should ring serious alarm bells that Sturgeon’s hero is Hillary Clinton, as she has many of the same vulnerabilities.

They will almost certainly continue to do so until Scotland does become independent, when there might be a mass exodus.

    Was NS deliberately shoring up the No vote when she openly and publicly invited English people to come up here and stay? Or was she just being nice, as is (supposed to be) her habitual self? You probably don’t need to be the ‘Brain of Britain’ to work out the answer(s) …

    I saw that in her interview on CNN she did say she wanted an independence referendum, but in the same breath she wanted it to be fair and just: independence would not be without difficulties, and she did not want to deceive people the way Boris Johnson had done during the Brexit referendum. They would need to know all about the difficulties as well as the positive reasons for independence.

    That sounded all very laudable and high-minded. But it can only mean one thing in practice: she is going to make it all so fair and honest that if she is also going to set out in her campaign for independence all the reasons for NOT voting for it.

    In other words, she is not going to try to win the referendum. That won’t be her responsibility: she’ll just make sure that everybody hears, even from her own mouth, all the reasons against voting for independence as well as the reasons she still supports it. Who ever won anything by behaving like that?

    There is no way she should be anywhere near leading a campaign for independence. And if her highest ideal is to cancel herself out, why doesn’t she just get on with it, and do it NOW?

    And thank you Bob Mack for pointing out, above, just why the SNP are so mad at Martin Keatings. As you said, he has stolen their clothes before they could even try them on. Or – rather – try US on, their (increasingly erstwhile) supporters, with another subterfuge to pull the wool over our eyes, making it ‘seem as if’ they would be going for an early independence referendum after victory in 2021 when in fact their intention was just to kick it further and further into touch.

    If they are not getting the message already, we need to get it across to them very clearly in May that this woeful ‘seem-as-iffery’ politics carries no traction with the Scottish public. They are a disgrace, and even more so on the still more important issue raised in this article. That they can’t stand up against such abuse speaks volumes.

Or, rather, the only people who really want it to become such are desperate Unionists.

    Violence of any kind just plays into their hands, since they will use it to discredit the whole independence movement. It seems to me just about the only way they will be able to stop the momentum which is carrying us forward to the goal.

    Just to add to what Saffron Robe and Dave L are saying, let me ask: What was the response of NS to Scotland’s disastrous birth rate? Did she set out some measures to encourage Scots to have more children? Not at all. No way.

    She simply predicted how many more immigrants we would need every year in the coming decades to make up for the shortfall. What does that eventually mean? Well, fundamentally, the extinction of the Scottish people.

    Of course, we are all sold on civic nationalism. And on welcoming ‘new Scots’ from everywhere, and not just down south. Sure – me too. But you have to have someone to welcome them when all these newcomers arrive.

    There needs to be something ‘Scottish’ that actually exists, making the place to be what it is. Not only to be able to incorporate everyone else into it but also so that newcomers from everywhere arrive somewhere.

    Maybe there is a pattern here. NS doesn’t like the word ‘National’ in the term ‘Scottish National Party’. She’s stuck with it, but she would like to eliminate it. Just like she or others didn’t much like the name ‘Salmond’ in the Party’s history, so they thought they could just erase it.

    So what’s the next thing to go? Well, after you get rid of the N-word (‘National’) from the SNP, why not get rid of the S-word (‘Scottish’) from it as well?

    Then what will be left? Well just ‘the Party’ – won’t that do just fine and dandy?

    Question: ‘Who rules in this (unnameable) place?’ Answer: ‘The Party does. And you had better believe it.’ ‘The Party’ rules – indeed. Ever heard that line before? Where?

    Mike d, I hear what you say and take on board all you say, however the picture is now a lot bigger and greater than a certain number of English people, and amongst many whom have moved here to escape England, and have been in the YES marches in the past,
    It has now got to the stage that if we gained independence, there would be many that flocked to our new country from all over the world, . And that is one thing we do need, it does not matter whom the country is made up of in the future, as long as those people believe in our nation, our people and work together for the mental and physical wellbeing of everyone. That’s, What makes an ordinary country into a beautiful country.
    We would be more than a little surprised if we did a DNA test I bet, to find we have Irish blood, Viking blood, Welsh blood, french blood and a multitude in between in our veins, here in Scotland,
    Just study the different place names in Scotland since the 1200s and you will find places named in different languages,
    If our race of people were only one true colour, would we still have the true colour that Scotland had four thousand years ago, I doubt it, but neither would any other country, take names for instance there are name that sound and spoken in the same way here in Scotland as around the world, but when you spell them they are different, for instance, cheyne..in America you have Cheney, same origins perhaps.
    Smith, in Germany they also have have the name smith, but spelt differently, McNeill or MacNeil and just to bring a smile to you here are the Scots we bred, an have lost, Gordon brown, Micheal gove, George Galloway, To name a few, and last but not least those that claimed themselves Scottish that signed the treaty of the union in 1707.
    We need good people to live in amongst here in Scotland, no matter where they are from, and I do not mind one bit if ermine seeking Scots leave, or those that refuse to act upon the will of the people of Scotland in a Scottish snp Party,
    we the people of Scotland, that live in Scotland, raise families in Scotland, and are proud to be Scottish whom contribute to making a better world for all should not be anchored to prejudice or narrow view points that could damage our country and countrymen.

    The birthrate will increase when there is a positive outlook for children in Scotland.

    More than that, it will increase when people in their 20’s and 30’s have confidence in their own economic survival and future, never mind their ability to get by and survive with children.

    That confidence doesn’t exist at this point, and there is a socially acceptable solution to any accidents.

    Until people believe that they can adequately provide for their children’s future, a positive future, then there ain’t going to be a lot more children. Just the way it is.

    Compare against the birthrates in other countries in Europe, (immigration aside), and see which countries are doing better and why.

    We do need to consider seriously managing our population size through reduced births and less immigration. For those of you lamenting our low birth rate in Scotland I would say this – there are already way too many people on this planet so perhaps Scotland can show the world how to establish a thriving, happy economy with fewer people?

    It is a load of bollocks to say we need more people to be keep our (unsustainable) economy going – that is just corporate bullshit – they just want more people so they can sell more stuff!

    Rather than seeking to increase our population lets try to create a more sustainable economy that supports human wellbeing not corporate profit, and does not rape the Earth.

    Regarding gender dysphoria as a mental illness, as some have mentioned before the status was changed under pressure from lobbyists:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-48448804

    “So in order to reduce the stigma, while also ensuring access to necessary health interventions, this was placed in a different chapter.” This statement really sums it up. It is not a mental disorder so that means it is not amenable to psychiatric treatment, ie you cannot be treated out of it. In saying that, the ‘patient’ decides(or doesn’t usually, it is their parents) and the medical profession have to affirm and go along with it.

    By constantly lumping in with homosexuality, TRAs can claim the same discrimination and lack of rights that underpin all of this. However, the two are not the same. Homosexuality does not involve the physical interventions and encroachment of women’s rights in particular that TRAs demand.

    On one hand there is the mental distress that manifests if the medical profession and wider society do not affirm, and the threats of suicide that are said to accompany this and the on the other hand, as it is not a mental disorder so if only the medical profession would not stand in their way everything would be fine. But they need access to medical and physical treatments so remove the gatekeeper of psychiatry by saying it is not a mental disorder and let other specialities do as they are told by the ‘patient’. The situation is further toxified by internet and naïve political pressure.

    We are getting to the stage that psychiatric intervention only exists in TRAs lives to alleviate the distress that happens if the rest of the world does not do as they say. No one is allowed to intervene to say their idea that they are in the wrong body might be a symptom of other problems. There is no other psychiatric disorder that demands this at present.

    The comparison is often made with Anorexia Nervosa where the patient may perceive themselves as fat and objectively they are dangerously underweight but are affirmed by internet allies who tell them how to outwit the medical profession who are all evil and know nothing. Imagine if psychiatrists were bypassed and just told to prescribe weight loss or appetite suppressants and if they didn’t they would be accused of being bigoted. This is where we are just now.
