There is no scientific evidence that gender reassigment has a positive health effect.   click for more

There are large unknowns on the number of regretters. (Long-term follow-up is missing, but early “euphoria” that over time (average 10 years) turns into regret is well  documented.) more

Co-morbidity of psychiatric problems is very high; major studies conclude 75 - 88%. more

Gender reassignment treatment (hormones and/ or surgery) does not reduce psychiatric problems. more

Suicide risk does not decrease after gender reassignment treatment. more

One must begin by investigating psychiatric issues. Affirmative treatment must not start before evaluation. more

Only teams of experts with long clinical experience of making psychiatric diagnoses should investigate children/ adolescents. more

Children/ adolescents grow out of gender incongruence (80 - 90%) during puberty while on the other hand … more

…. treatment with puberty blockers consolidates the gender dysphoria in 100% of treated children/ adolescents. more

Treatment with puberty blockers increases mental health problems in girls. Gender dysphoria does not decrease. more

There are serious medical risks and side effects of puberty blockers and hormone treatment. more

It is a myth that specific brain regions of trans persons are more like those of the self-identified gender. more

There has been no long-term follow-up of the effects of gender correcting treatment (surgery or hormones) on quality of life.

Children and adolescents with gender incongruence and possible psychiatric problems cannot be considered to provide informed consent.

Psychosocial circumstances and history must be investigated and confirmed. Information from parents, relatives, friends must be considered.

Investigation should be culturally neutral without bias of gender research ideology, political influence or religious dogma.

@nicoistrying The site simply summarises information from and refers to other resources..

@jacine-the-queen ran out of arguments on own post, off to discredit me for something else as a last defence 🤷‍♀️

it was about this sad-sack guy driving across the country to try and reunite his old band for one last show

he’s accompanied by this girl who he was in the band with, back in the day… and he was in love with her then, and she’s cool & smart & funny & talks only to him for the entire play, even when the rest of the band joins him on the drive

& at the end of the play it turns out that she was a ghost the whole time, nobody else in the play could see or hear her, & the ‘last show’ he kept referring to is actually going to be her funeral wake bcs she died..

That her ghost had accompanied them on this trip bcs he was grieving & she wanted to help him let go of her…

which, you know, was a surprise & it was really emotional & legit the play was pretty good

But I just started thinking about it randomly…

And I keep being struck by the fact that the play only works if the entire audience is so used to the idea that a female character would literally only speak to the main male character for the entire length of a narrative.

Would only converse with him, interact with him, even when there were other people around.

That even as he talked about what he was doing next, she never discussed their future goals. She never touched any props or anyone other than him. 

That nothing she did or said would genuinely have anything to do with herself as a person, except in the context of how he felt about her. 

The entire play hinges on the audience not expecting anything hinky about a female character who acts like that,

& most of the audience bought it, hook, line, and sinker.

even I did. there was genuine feeling of surprise in the room

and I just…

A woman can literally be an incorporeal ghost & as long as she is emotionally supportive of a man we see her as a fully realistically person

if that isn’t a sad indictment of how female characters get treated idk what is, honestly ETA: FOR THE LOVE OF HECK, THE POINT OF THIS POST IS NOT ‘CHARACTERS ARE SECRET GHOSTS SOMETIMES’, PLEASE STOP CITING THE SIXTH SENSE.

Hormone blockers are completely reversable because all they do is delay puberty, once you come off of them, you resume puberty as normal

 the nhs in fact recently changed their statement on puberty blockers being reversible because they have no idea whether it is or not because IT’S AN EXPERIMENT, NO ONE KNOWS

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/treatment/

the main puberty blocker used is lupron, which is a chemotherapy drug that is being used off label for this stuff without any long term studies, and what little there is (from the little girls put on it for precocious puberty and women given it for female reproductive issues) shows it has a host of side effects from osteoporosis to juvenile arthritis to ruined immune system, vaginal atrophy and much more. it also, as this person says, prevents safe® and easy(ier) surgical transition in males, because the penis never grows so there’s not enough tissue to be used to invert into a neo-vagina. this has been recorded extensively during the programme “i am jazz”, where jazz has had to have his intestines used instead and has had at least three different surgeries because of the various severe complications.

another effect of puberty blockers is absence of libido. this is why the same drugs used as puberty blockers are used to chemically castrate sex offenders, because it is so effective in doing so. because puberty is when the sex drive develops, if one never goes through it, then they may never feel arousal or have an orgasm their entire life, especially if they get bottom surgery. this is what has happened with jazz and numerous other people like the person writing this post. how is that not a severe effect?

the fact that you think that you can halt one of the biggest physical processes in humans without effect, and that it’s completely reversible shows pure ignorance due to the dogmatic agenda of the people pushing it. puberty blocker MAY be reversible if a child stops taking them while they’re still adolescent, but that’s not guaranteed. and almost 100% of kids who start puberty blockers go on to further transition, while around 64-94% of dysphoric children who are left alone will grow out of dysphoria to be normal gay, lesbian, or bi adults. this means that children are being unnecessarily made lifelong medical patients, are you not concerned about that?

Canada — Ottawa, Ontario. The Parole Board of Canada’s (PBC) January 2022 decision regarding Anngela Valentino confirms female prisoners’ reports of Valentino assaulting and/or threatening them while incarcerated at Grand Valley Institution for Women (GVI). These allegations were first reported by Women Are Human in January 2021, after Heather Mason sounded the alarm on social media. Mason is a former Canadian federal prisoner at GVI and is now an advocate for women in prison.

The PBC report outlines Valentino’s extensive violent criminal past, with a release from prison history that “could be described as dismal”, due to “ongoing criminal activities” during periods of statutory release.

While the report does not specify the prison where Valentino was most recently housed, it notes that Valentino completed various women’s program while incarcerated, such as the Women Offender High Intensity Program (WO-HIP) – programs designed for female prisoners, and thus not available in men’s institutions. Valentino seems to have actively participated in WO-HIP while in class, a program that included only one other prisoner, though a facilitator notes Valentino did not use learned skills outside the classroom. The report further highlights Valentino’s “assaultive behaviours and interpersonal issues with both other offenders and staff” during this fourth federal sentence (i.e., at GVI) that led to “serious and minor institutional charges, [and] required special management intervention to address information that you were bullying, intimidating and threatening other inmates.” Noting that Valentino “has limited insight into your offence cycle, poor emotional regulation, and default to using aggression and violence to achieve your goals”, the PBC concludes that the prisoner remains “a high risk/high needs offender.”

According to a Psychological Risk Assessment from July 2020 cited in the PBC report, Valentino has “diagnoses of substance use disorder (in an abstinence phase in a protected environment)”. This aligns with Mason’s previous assertion that Valentino had access to illicit drugs while in prison, and lends further support to her claim that Valentino had been “shooting women up with Fentanyl”.

In line with the PBC’s assessment that Valentino defaults “to using aggression and violence”, Valentino subsequently sent a drawing of a hand with the middle finger raised to a female prisoner, seemingly to intimidate her. Valentino believed the woman had told the prison authorities about the fentanyl.

After Mason publicly exposed Valentino’s violence against female prisoners, Valentino reportedly sent a message to her via one of the women at GVI, who relayed that Valentino would sue Mason for defamation once released from prison. According to the messenger, Valentino bragged of having much more money than Mason and thus would destroy her via extensive litigation.
