I was listening to the rest is politics leading and Alastair and Rory were interviewing the former Pm of Denmark who is Stephen Kinnock’s wife. And they briefly brought up the trans thing. And its pretty obvious that when they had a chance to be a parent and a grown up, for whatever reason it didn’t happen and they ended up with a ‘trans’ kid and have had to affirm the ideology for personal reasons- which as a parent i get, because sometimes we just have to go with what we think and damage limitation etc, and i’m not going to judge another parent or their child.
But we’re now seeing people like Kier Starmer having to and Wes Streeting having to side with reality because deep down they know at some point they are going to have to be the adults in the room and stand up for the basic rights of women and children regardless of the heart breaking accounts of their friends and colleagues with ‘trans kids’.
I think all these poor children were mis sold a terrible lie answer their problems. The lie that being ‘trans’ is neither the expression of a mental health issue, or an expression of a sexual fetish, The lie that being ‘trans’ is real, and its ok to except hating oneself. My gut tells me that gender dysphoria as a condition has been weaponised by autogynephililes to give justification to their fetish. Which is pretty fucking dark. But those pictures on mermaids website are pretty telling i think if anyone remembers them. Might still be there
You've hit the nail on the head, CB. The heterosexual men who transition in middle age (usually after fathering children and enjoying all the benefits of their male privilege etc) seem very keen to push the myth of 'trans kids'. Because without that handy cloak, we'll just see them for what they are - grubby blokes living out the fetish in public view. Those suffering with a genuine dysphoria (thankfully, a very rare condition) are absolutely being weaponised and used as a shield by these band wagon jumpers. I'm sure you know Miranda Yardley (a brilliant feminist ally and one of the trans people bravely fighting this ideology)? He wrote an excellent article a few years ago called "Where have all the transvestites gone?" Where indeed...)
JL, i just wrote a load of shit about sunny side of the street but you’re talking about where have all the flowers gone! I’m multitasking threads- badly!
Look, I have categorically never heard of Pete Seeger and if anyone tries to tell you that I have much of his stuff on vinyl then they're miserable liars! And I've never heard of Louis Armstrong either. I'm into young people's music like... erm... that Tyler Swift. Lovely chap.
Honestly, it can seem like a terrible time to be a parent. Every one of us knows a kid (hopefully not our own) who will permanently damage him- or herself before reaching adulthood. It is really one of the worst lies ever.
Your last paragraph made me instantly think of India Willoughby and his ilk. He constantly bangs on about trans kids being under threat from uncaring gender criticals but it is screamingly obvious that this is a guy desperately trying to validate his own choices. Cruelty beyond measure and narcissism personified.
The violence is stunning. The media policy of excuses, identifying males as females, lack of investigations into when these men demonstrated violent tendencies is a gross abdication of duty to inform the public. I'm bracing myself for a long ride, despite the remarkable progress made, the studies revealing lack of long term satisfaction with medical "transition." The families' traumas haven't even been touched yet.
Thanks as ever for your hard work, JL and for bringing us the horror stories.
I note that, in your list of the Cabinet members who we should be worried about given previous track record, all bar one are women - someone explain this to me!!! 😣
However it appears that Lisa Nandy (!!??) has come out in support of Wes Streeting's determination - despite all the vitriolic threats - to continue the puberty blockers ban. I have done a special on this tonight and cross posted your excellent piece:
These are text book Dusty - they can't back out now. Or can they? Opportunity cost. They will go down with the ship. Or will they? They will be the ones pushing and shoving to get on life boats and kicking children in the head to get there. Or will they? The savvier ones can listen to advice, the less invested ones can quietly change tack. Who is being funded to say what. Men can say and do things in politics but women can't be seen to change our minds as when we do it, it shows how weak, flighty and inconsistent we are - the lady's not for turning?
A man, and a parent, who oversaw and allowed his own daughter to chop her breasts off having been exposed and captured by cult thinking is not someone I want near a care brief, but maybe he too will realise what this mass delusion and abuse is at some point. From his bubble.
Someone in the current government has actually being listening to good evidence and evidence-based advice. Finally. More than one of them. They've had to grow up very quickly Dorothy, we're not in Kansas any more. I give them the credit they deserve for that. You can say what you like from the opposition benches, the back benches or the wilderness. Now it's proper and we are watching.
The women and men here built their political careers on this and this version they invented of 'fairness' and 'justice' and 'being nice'- it's all they've got. And for those who are not that bright it is incredibly dangerous. It leaves them to be led by the nose by the very bright ones and their 'special advisers'.
Thanks ,JL. When ,oh when ,are the "authorities" ,such as legislators , judiciary ,police etc going to waken up to the HUGE CON that's being inflicted on society by large numbers of predatory MEN and their supporters and when is the MEDIA going to start telling the TRUTH about it ? I will NEVER refer to a man as " she " no matter what laws they bring in. Are these enablers so stupid or so cowardly ( or misogynistic ) that they're prepared to ignore the serious harms this gender nonsense is responsible for ? WHAT WILL IT TAKE for people like Lisa Nandy and many others to realise how WRONG they are ? I really despair of humanity right now and It's only people like you who keep me sane !! Keep it up x
They usually are! Our only hope, as always, is that somewhere in there there are some with some sense reminding them of evidence-based reality and not stuck with their heads (and funding) in cloud-cuckoo land. The Ministers need to be listening to their civil servants, the permanent staff and actual experts. And we have to have the confidence to keep challenging those who come out with total bollix and can't justify any of it.
But till someone / anyone speaks up for this we’re fucked
Hey cb how’s you and the littlies ? I’ve little petal tomorrow and we’re going to be making soap , purely for my own amusement she will be in hi vis safety goggles and gloves ( it’s only melt and pour so nothing toxic )
Off to shutting my pus again ! For me I’m doing quite well 🙄
I’m going to have to correct myself , loads have already spoken up and have been dismissed , literally , I’m now reading horrifying reports that the Cass review is being ignored , Jfc ‘ do no harm ‘ what a fucking disgrace
I am watching those who dismiss Cass and we have their names Petal, don't you worry. It takes a very foolish, overconfident and very easily led egotistical idiot or committee or association of idiots to publicly diss Cass. We see them. We will not give up easily we're in it for the long haul. And it's all been noted. After all, we have the receipts :-)
Thanks JL. Horrible post as usual.

I will check Miranda out JL thanks. ‘where have all the transvestites gone?’ could be a sort of nostalgic hippy number JL
I am of course far too young to know which song you're referring to... AHEM! 😶
JL, i just wrote a load of shit about sunny side of the street but you’re talking about where have all the flowers gone! I’m multitasking threads- badly!
and of course you are way too young to know that tune JL, but we all know you are a cultural powerhouse of knowledge
Look, I have categorically never heard of Pete Seeger and if anyone tries to tell you that I have much of his stuff on vinyl then they're miserable liars! And I've never heard of Louis Armstrong either. I'm into young people's music like... erm... that Tyler Swift. Lovely chap.

he’s a wanker
Cb language 😂
sorry Petal, he’s a fucking wanker
That’s better 😂
Shouldn’t that read ‘Meet the Fockers’ rather than Meet the Cabinet?
Thanks JL, why can’t people wake up?
I think there might already be a public for a trans-centric movie farce.
hahha nice one, TT 😂

All great points,TSBBT.
I note that the latest special adviser appointed is “feminist professor “ Becky Francis to report on the national curriculum- another battle looms!!
Dusty ( on way to day out 😊)
Enjoy the sun :-)
No sun but I had a good time 😊

Thanks, Susan!
What a motley crew of ministers your new government has.
They usually are! Our only hope, as always, is that somewhere in there there are some with some sense reminding them of evidence-based reality and not stuck with their heads (and funding) in cloud-cuckoo land. The Ministers need to be listening to their civil servants, the permanent staff and actual experts. And we have to have the confidence to keep challenging those who come out with total bollix and can't justify any of it.
As Jl says these are not our crimes
But till someone / anyone speaks up for this we’re fucked

Starmer is such a two faced pig
Many thanks JL.
