I firmly believe there is a link between paedophilia and the current form of trans rights activism. Of course not all gender identity ideologists are paedophiles but I do see the link working the other way. I can see why paedophiles would be attracted to gender identity ideology.

I know someone (a gay man in his 50s) who has an unhealthy interest in young boys. I stopped communicating with him a while ago, but, from his social media postings, it was clear he’s a strong ‘trans rights activist’. This seems to be connected with the ‘transgressive’, ‘I’m more on your side than your parents are’ vibe that comes with gender identity ideology.

I was also speaking on Clubhouse a few days ago with a couple of women who have detransitioned. Despite being lesbian, both said that when they first identified and presented as “non-binary”, they had an unexpected and very uncomfortable amount of sexual attention from older gay men. One said it felt it it was all about their “young androgynous appearance”.

Yes, I think growth of the 'trans child' industry is a gift to paedophiles. It keeps children physically prepubescent with hormones and offers the perfect grooming tool - 'if your parents won't validate your gender, come to your rainbow family...'

Indeed. And keep highlighting Eric Joyce. I shared an office with him for a year. Nasty piece of work.

And speaks volumes that Twitter has the audacity to leave him with his account when others, especially women, are thrown off for tweeting safeguarding-related comments and questions.

Jack Dorsey is a complete psychopath. People need to understand this, he's way worse than Zuckerberg. Won't publicize how many moderators he has, has a HUGE pedophile contingent on twitter, though he could easily get rid of them, doesn't give a damn. I had NO IDEA how much porn there was on twitter til I got webcam spied and started following links of the people who were freaking out that when the Porn tube sites started getting attention, finally, for having monetized child porn and rape tapes for the last decade and a half. The sex workers and the pornographers were freaking out, not because they do CSAM, or child porn, but because it drives traffic to their sites and pages. Their world is sex work, and probably a hefty bit of sex/porn addiction.

They were shocked to find out the world actually cares about this and people don't want it. They side-wind around actually blatantly supporting child porn, but they know if something happens to the child sexual abuse material and the rape tapes and the non-consensual content like what happened to me, it's going to hurt their bottom line, it's going to make their 'good living' from sex work/porn less profitable. And this community is so strong on twitter cause Jack Dorsey openly exploited that...he welcomed them with open arms. Twitter is just plastered with visible porn of every conceivable kind, that I literally never even saw, because of the algorithm, until I was webcam spied. Those men that twitter doesn't ban are the same men that are the coders, the programmers, the admin, the moderators, and the CEO's, down to Jack Dorsey, Ev Williams, Zuckerberg, all of them. That's who they are, it's their club, and feminists are the ones who will put an end to it, and ruin all their 'fun' and that's why they are silencing us.

Oh god yes, more people need to know about the grooming "'I’m more on your side than your parents are' vibe that comes with gender identity deology", as you say. A key thing is that it's not only about paedophilia but also about planting and spreading the very concept of 'trans children' and 'trans teens' and 'born in the wrong body' in order to normalise and validate their own fetishistic BS. Wanting to plant a belief in 'born that way' to gain sympathy and legitimisation for themselves. They've done it. And they don't care about harming young lives to their ends.

How's this for horror: a few years ago I stumbled across a 'transgender resources' site where a page was actually titled 'Protecting our young: how to speak with frightened parents', and stated

"Every species protects its children. From the fierce lioness guarding her cubs to the hen sitting on her eggs, the instinct is wired into our being to keep our young safe until they fend for themselves.

"Unfortunately, for the trans* community our young are usually someone else’s children. …"

If anybody knows how to use a wayback machine, someone ought to expose that site. I saw it before I knew about screenshots (tells you what a tech wiz I am), but I transcribed the text and kept the site/page URL.

That's horrifying. But not entirely surprising. One of the many gaping holes in trans agenda is the simultaneous insistence that adult males do not need hormones & surgery to "be" women but that children will literally kill themselves without them.

Thanks for the kind offer. Only if you have time!

This was it:

When I looked for it again three months later, a message said the site 'cannot be found'. There is a similarly named site still up, though...

I originally came across it via a site called transgenderreality.com that was pioneering in trying to lift the lid on various things when most had no clue. Here's where the reference to it had been, I think?:

Susans:

The first URL is not on Archive at all. There were two unsuccessful attempts to save it on Web Archive in 2015.

However, if you take out the "dev." at the beginning of the main URL then there are a load of pages saved on Web Archive (aka The Wayback Machine):

https://web.archive.org/web/sitemap/http://susans.org/

The specific page "protecting our young" etc. wasn't saved successfully with the URL plus or minus "dev" but it might be in there somewhere using a different URL.

(I think "dev" at the beginning of the URL means that it might have been a version of the site that was "in development".)

TJ37 - I think this is the page you were looking for:

https://www.susans.org/2015/02/12/speaking-with-the-parents-of-transgender-youth/

It starts off:

*Speaking with the Parents of Transgender Youth*

"Every species protects its children. From the fierce lioness guarding her cubs to the hen sitting on her eggs, the instinct is wired into our being to keep our young safe until they fend for themselves.

Unfortunately, for the trans* community our young are usually someone else’s children. If the child is lucky, when parents learn they have a transgender or gender variant child, they do careful research. They learn it’s not necessarily something the child can help. They see the child’s very nature driving the behavior, and they nurture the whole person and help reconcile the world’s expectations with the demands of gender identity."

(lots more after that)

Holy moses (/genderwang), you are amazing. Thank you so much for tracking those down.

I'm actually grateful to learn that all of that is still out there to be seen and noted. For lots of reasons. Especially the documentation of the indoctrination and grooming of young people that was going on back then (still is, via forums and methods that have in some ways mutated) which was gathered by transgenderreality, whoever that was/is.

Just the first page, from early 2015:

'The purposes and aims of this website

February 19, 2015 transgenderreality

'In recent years, the transgender community has started advancing an ideology that creates psychological distress, especially in young people. While trans activists in the news media (like Janet Mock and Laverne Cox) talk about transgender issues in a way that makes them sound tame, the reality is different once gender questioning and confused individuals make their way to trans groups online.

'In these groups, teenagers who feel uncomfortable with their bodies and adults with depression and anxiety are coached–yes, coached–into thinking the source of their discomfort is a lifelong dysphoria that can only be corrected via sterilizing cross-sex hormones and, often, disfiguring surgeries.

'You may not believe that this coaching or recruitment happens, or maybe you’ve already had experience with it. Either way, this blog aims to show evidence that transgender groups online are actively recruiting children, pressuring children and young adults to make irreversible bodily changes as young as possible, and turning them away from any family members or friends who do not support every aspect of transgender ideology.

'While many transgender people in the offline world just want to live their lives quietly and free from interference, transgender ideology online is rapidly showing indications of becoming a cult, complete with suicides for the cause and self-mutilation and castration. If you are a parent of a newly gender questioning or transgender teenager, you need to be aware of what these online transgender groups are telling your child:

• That their current discomfort with their growing, changing body means they will never be happy without hormones and possibly surgeries

• That their natural puberty is poisoning their body and will prevent them from ever becoming the person they want to be

That normal childhood transgressions of gender norms (a boy playing with dolls, for instance) indicates a lifelong desire to be the opposite sex

• That suicide can be preferable to starting hormones after puberty

• That suicide can be a valid political act, or a good way to show parents and others that the transgender movement or your pronoun choice is serious

• That being aroused by wearing women’s clothing means you are transgender and require a lifetime of hormone therapy and possible surgeries

• That parents who “misgender” their child or call them by a name or pronoun other than their chosen one are being abusive and/or forcing their child to kill him or herself

• That teens and young adults should stop listening to anyone in their life who expresses concern over their transition or believes they may be fixating on gender transition for the wrong reasons

'This blog will show evidence for this and so much more that you won’t believe until you see it. This is the real face of transgender activism online. This is what your child got sucked into. We’ll talk about deprogramming tips, later, too, but for now, this is our advice:

'If your child thinks he or she is transgender, get them away from the internet and back into reality. Whether your child decides to go through with transition or not, the ideology of transgender activism online is toxic and leads to depression, self-harm, and suicide.'

Yet here we all are, six years later, with skyrocketing numbers having been indoctrinated, especially girls, and the policy capture across institutions having reached surreal levels that I doubt any of us would have predicted.

As to Susan's, I also remember a creepy large photo of the site host in long wig and specs at his computer, his tool for accessing the minds of 'other people's children' and their parents. Your archive reminds that this host has course 'raised two children' of his own, while grooming others' children to potentially destroy their own fertility and chances of parenthood.

Thanks so much again. I had tried to use the Wayback machine on these and similar not long ago but obviously lacked knowhow.

The problem is that these predatory men are standing on the shoulders of predatory pharma, predatory porn and predatory social media. They are no longer an isolated, ostracised group... I hope I’m wrong but I worry that they are serving the purpose of making global trans rights forces look benign in comparison.

Good article. This nonsense will implode - I would never underestimate the lengths to which some men will go to fulfil their sexual desires. That will eventually be their undoing and at a desperately high and avoidable cost to women and girls, who continue to be blamed and pay for these predatory predilections.

Stop the press!

I’ve just seen an amazing sight. As a volunteer for a charity my job this morning was to sort out donations cupboards. They were full- chockablock full- of Lush Christmas boxes. Hundreds, donated as leftover stock. So in 2020, it seems they couldn’t sell them,,..I wonder why not? Could they have been bypassed by the women who usually buy these gifts? The same women who were told were barred if we wore adult human female or biological sex is real teeshirts? Happy days. Happy happy days.

Great article, JL. So well-researched and presented.

Imagine how many more women they can rape, little girls they can violate, and illegal footage of women and girls in intimate activities they can get if they make all sex-segregated spaces mixed.

I give the side-eye to ANY MAN who denies violence against women is prevalent, or that this isn't an obvious safeguarding problem, or who fails to understand the danger here, or why, for example, the UN and Amnesty International say that sex-segregated facilities are imperative for women and girls to be safe and able to participate in public in developing nations (but not here, apparently), or that the Geneva Convention states male and female prisoners of war must be housed separately (while domestic female prisoners are not granted the same human right), who dismisses the notion that men will go to great lengths to prey on women and girls- they are predators or predator-supporters.

Don't ever assume the best intentions about men.

Wonderful blog...thank you, again, JL. Enraged whilst reading it, but so good to have this to send out to others who are still fast asleep, terrified, or who just do not get what is going on. That last post too, from Rosa, so, so true. I had an amazing Dad, such a gentle gentleman, born in 1914. Were Dad here today, he'd be outraged at what is being done to women, how men no longer consider our safety, privacy. It would be so alien to Dad, so disgusting, yet so many men just do not see it. My Dad loved women, called every woman a lady, whomsoever she was, treated them all the same, with great politeness and good manners, always ready to open a door, give up a seat, offer help/protection wherever and whenever needed. We need all The Good Men & True to start rising up with us, for their wives/partners/girlfriends/female friends, daughters/mums/aunties/nieces, for ALL the women they know and love.

Again, thank you so much for this. xx

Oh yes, so very, very lucky. My son is so like his gentle Grandpa, whom, sadly, he never got to meet, due to age. Dad would have been 80 when my son was born, as, like Dad with me, I was 40 when my son was born. But he is one of The Good Men & True, like your Dad was, like mine too. It's why I always stand up for The Good Men & True, for I know there are many out there who care deeply about women. They need to find their voices now though, not be intimidated by what is going on. It's why I have so much respect for Graham, putting not just his head, but The Whole Of Him above the parapet, shouting out to protect women and children. What a good lad, eh... xx

Those obsessed with gender and sexuality to the extent that they make that the focus of their entire existence need to ask themselves very serious questions regarding that facet of their life. I honestly believe that a humans role in life is to be compassionate and help those in need, not exploit them. So often those who demand we respect their adult sexual identity are the very people exploiting those who are too young to even imagine what a sexual identity is

been saying it all along and been given sh*t for saying 'transvestite predator' instead of trans.

More and more I feel we should focus on sexual predation, child safeguarding, etc. The thing people don't want to face is that sexual predators are some of the smartest, cunning, most manipulative folks you will ever meet on this planet. Who else could stay under the radar so long whilst supporting a fetish most people revile.

This is a great piece and many more like this will be written. I think if activists focused all our energy on child safeguarding at least with regards to online activism we'd end up in the same place. I quit interacting with transvestite predators AT ALL when I left twitter and now I spend that time contacting legislators and journalists, it is much better use of my time. The predator is GETTING OFF on telling you about his girldick. Even though people have criticized me for using the TP terminology the point is women don't know if we are dealing with a transvestite predator when we are in the bathroom. Basically we have to assume that's what they all are to keep ourselves safe, just like we have to go through life assuming all strange men might rape and kill us and stay on guard at all times. We greatly circumscribe our behavior to stay live and unharmed every day in multiple ways we have forgotten to notice anymore. These men are dangerous BECAUSE of their ability to manipulate children.

That's what they do. That's what they have done online to this entire generation. It is their special talent, their skill in life, to get next to children and sexually exploit them and get their 'fix'. They've prostituted the LGBT rights movement to do so. But they've been doing that in some form or another for 50 years. It's nothing new, the variable that changed is the internet. More and more that's what I focus on, because I realize this tool that we handed to predators has almost destroyed feminism and with it the most vocal advocates for women and children.

It teaches young males that the answer to not being a psychopathic sex addicted ("alpha") male is to hate women, harass them, and sometimes murder them with assault weapons. It teaches young lesbians that they should allow themselves to be raped or they are beneath contempt, when really it's the predator preying on them that is beneath contempt.

Every child on the internet is like the runaway getting off the bus in the GnR song "Welcome to the Jungle". That's what these kids are being exposed to when they get online, the worst, most deviant predators on earth. It's time to burn down this jungle, enough harm has been done. We are smart people, we can figure out how to take this weapon away from predators, we just have to have our focus where it needs to be. It's long past time to repeal section 230 and similar laws. break up the big platforms, and let the lawyers move in on these sites that are hosting child porn (twitter) and predator communities. Soon the detransitioners will start suing...I hope within five years there will be a bloodbath of legislation. It has already happened on the porn tube site site, though countless lives have been destroyed for that to even get started happening.

This site has become an amazing chronicle and resource. Thank you JL for the work you've put in here. The pattern is becoming plain to see, and it's very useful to keep track of the evidence.

This pattern should make everyone look a bit closer at any person prepared to sacrifice safeguarding for ideology.

When you think about it, it's so creepy. What makes a heterosexual man want to wake up and speak out on the needs of male-bodied people to access female spaces?

Liberals want equality for all. Yes, we believe everyone should have the same rights as they stand in law. But when your main passion is access for cross-dressers (because that's all most trans people are these days) to identify into women's spaces, there's something wrong with you. Your wife needs to lock away her underwear. Your daughters need to watch out. That's not normal advocating for equality, that's campaigning for kinks and paraphilias.
