Sherri_IngreyKurt Vonnegut - who fought in WWII. “I wouldn’t have one of the motherfuckers in my house for anything...a firearm. It makes the blackest of all human wishes come true at once, at a distance: that something die. There is evil for you. We cannot get rid of mankind’s fleetingly wicked wishes. We can get rid of the machines that make them come true. I give you a holy word: DISARM." -- Kurt Vonnegut

Sherri_Ingreyhttps://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gender-ideology-exposedhttps://archive.ph/LUK4a WHEESHT” is Scots, meaning a plea or demand for silence, is a collection of essays by women who “risked their job, reputation, even the bonds of family and friendship, to make their voices heard” and built a grassroots campaign in defence of their sex-based rights that was the key factor in defeating the Scottish government’s attempt to impose self-ID on the country. Of major historical, political and social significance, these essays expose regressive and reactionary gender ideology; the only supposedly “progressive” social justice movement ever backed by state institutions, political elites and corporate finance, and the real consequences for women of policies like self-ID, championed not just by the Scottish government, but the country’s political Establishment. The “ill-defined” term “gender identity” entered the “Scottish public space” through the lobbying of public institutions, business and politicians with the aim of obtaining the right “for anyone over the age of 16 years old to obtain legal recognition as a member of the opposite sex”, or of being neither sex, by a simple administrative process. Sex in humans is binary and immutable, it is observed, not assigned at birth; women’s oppression is based on these facts. The consequences of self-ID would mean male access to women’s spaces, sports, hospital wards, the erosion of reliable sex-based data, and more.
Actually, we don’t have great data for those assertions. Several studies of childhood-onset gender dysphoria suggest that somewhere between 60 and 90 percent stopped experiencing dysphoria during puberty; those “desisters” had not socially transitioned, and never medically transitioned. The bulk of them (especially the boys) grew up to be gay.
The only real interruption to that assertion is a recent paper, which showed that most kids in the study who were socially transitioned continued to identify as trans five years later. That could be an indication of the power of social transition, rather than proof that “trans kids know who they are”—though that’s how most of the media reported it.
Elana Redfield, federal policy director at Williams Institute, UCLA’s gender think tank, asserted: “It’s a real piece of spin that minors are suddenly getting lots of hormones without counseling.” And McNamara said that “surgery is rare, especially among minors.”
Again, we don’t have enough data to make these cases. What have accounts by detransitioners, like Isabelle Ayala or Luca Hein, of being rushed along the medical path, their other mental health conditions ignored—just as we have accounts of happily and carefully transitioned youth. We don’t know the number of surgeries, but how many dozens of mastectomies need to be performed on for 13- to 16-year-olds before journalists will admit that they have even happened once, and that it’s not hateful to wrestle with the ethics of it, especially with so little follow-up? “They’re rare” translates into “don’t talk about them.” https://www.broadview.news/p/how-the-media-got-the-trans-kid-story?r=385ep
As reported in The Tyranny Of Modern Germany, Germany has a long history of enabling paedophiles dating back decades, into the present.
That was the “experiment”. Placing foster children with paedophiles. And this isn’t some hyperbolic, scant evidence theory: it is openly discussed in numerous media articles: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7… you get the idea.
