Monday 7th October - More targeting of schoolchildren
James Esses reported on the prevalence of English schools indoctrinating their pupils into gender identity ideology.
Writing on Substack this week, James Esses, detailed several horrifying examples of schools in England that are teaching gender identity as fact to their pupils and indoctrinating even very young children into this harmful ideology.
St Jude’s Church of England primary school in Southwark, SE London, for example, operates a ‘wider curriculum’ which involves shoe-horning ‘inclusion’ and ‘pride’ into a variety of subjects. For example, in History, children will be taught about “The history and meaning of the rainbow flag” and in art lessons, children “Study LGBT+ performance art and fashion, including drag queens and kings”.
Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School in Birmingham teaches pupils that “Some people don’t feel that they are themselves in their own bodies and feel that they can’t be happy as they are. These people can have a sex change”.
Daubney Primary School in Hackney, North London, photographs even very young pupils with pride and progress flags and posters etc and then posts the images online. At its sister school, Lauriston Primary School, children as young as five years old are told to draw ‘transgender’ and ‘transgender’ flags and flags representing various sexualities and their pictures are then displayed on the school’s walls.
James was contacted by the concerned grandfather of a pupil at Cranbrook Education Campus (CEC), a school for 2-16 year olds in Exeter, Devon.
According to the school’s own website, it is ‘proudly working towards the rainbow flag award’.
James learned that the school’s curriculum includes lessons about ‘transphobia’ and ‘gender identity’ and involves children being asked to draw ‘a big queer map of Devon’. According to James’ source, teachers display their ‘preferred pronouns’ on the outside of their office doors.
Furthermore, the school employs a bearded male teacher who wears female clothing and forces pupils to validate his gender identity by referring to him as ‘Mx Russell’.
Russell introduces himself as ‘Mx’ on the school’s website. He is the the head of Year 7 and responsible for pupils aged 11 and 12 years old. He also runs the school’s LGBTQIA+ ‘rainbow club’ at lunchtimes.
James Esses writes, “To parents out there - you have every right to interrogate your child’s school on what your children are being taught and exposed to and also what external agencies or companies are being brought in to promote some of these ideas… If you come across material that concerns you, consider complaining. There are many organisations out there that will help you to do this, including the Safe Schools Alliance, Sex Matters and Protect and Teach. In short, you are not alone.”
Tuesday 8th October - This Never Happens #1
A 17-year-old girl was brutally assaulted by a trans-identified male student at a high school in Maine, incurring serious injuries.
At the beginning of the week, Citizen journalist, John Cardillo, shared a very disturbing clip of footage to his social media account. In the video, sent to him by a source in Maine, USA, a trans-identified male student can be seen violently assaulting a young female. The pair are both students at Mount Desert Island High School.
In the video, the male lashes out at the teenage girl, slamming her to the floor then pinning her down as he continues to assault her. He strikes her with an object in this hand (later reported to be a metal water bottle) and then he grabs and yanks her hair, smashing her head to the ground. The girl can be heard screaming in obvious distress.
It’s only when, finally, he is physically restrained by one of the men present (said to be Bob, the driver of the school bus) that the male student releases the girl.
Cardillo reported that the school principal, Matt Haney (apparently the man in the green shirt), did not take any action to prevent the male student from assaulting the girl. Certainly in the clip of video Cardillo shared, Haney does nothing to physically restrain the violent youth.
John Cardillo also reported that, according to his sources, students at Mount Desert Island High School received an email ordering them to delete their any recordings they had taken of the trans-identified male assaulting the female pupil.
The school authorities later made a statement in which they denied making any such demands. However, when the victim’s father appeared on a local radio station, he stated that an email demanding the deletion of all footage had been sent to students by the school principal, Matt Haney, and that he could provide evidence of this.
Furthermore, the victim’s father alleged that, when students refused to come forward to delete their recordings, Haney attempted to ‘bribe the entire student body’ by promising to drastically reduce their state required community service hours if they could prove they had erased their footage of the attack. One of the radio presenters told the victim’s father that, during the broadcast, the station had received messages to corroborate his assertions. One of the text messages read, “The school indeed conspired to cover up a crime”.
Following John Cardillo’s revelations, X/Twitter user, Admiral Invalidator (@Artofhunger75), reported that the transgender male attacker had been identified.
Admiral Invalidator revealed that the perpetrator of the attack had been the subject of a local news story earlier in the year when students at another high school staged a protest over his ‘inappropriate behaviour’ towards female students. According to some accounts on social media, his future victim was one of the students who protested. The boy was described as spying on girls in the bathroom ‘like a peeping tom’. It seems he was moved from Ellsworth High School to Mount Desert Island High School shortly after the protest.
The Maine Wire confirmed that this trans-identified male student had indeed been the subject of previous sexual harassment complaints at Ellsworth High School, where school authorities had allowed him to use the female toilet facilities because of his ‘gender identity’. The paper reports that, in addition to spying on girls in the toilet, the boy allegedly took photographs of them using his mobile phone and even masturbated in the girls’ bathroom.
The 17-year-old victim of the attack (who, for obvious reasons, wishes to remain anonymous) spoke to The Maine Wire together with her parents. She described the ‘animalistic’ violence to which she was subjected. The boy, she said, growled as he pinned her to the pavement, struck her over the head with a metal water bottle, bit her on her eye and then yanked at her hair and slammed her head onto the concrete. (An unreleased video obtained by paper confirms the girl’s description of the attack.) She told her parents that she thought she was going to die.
Since the attack, the girl has had several medical consultations. She is experiencing a loss and blurring of her vision and was due to undergo a CAT scan on her skull to determine whether an orbital bone fracture is the cause. Photographs published by The Maine Wire show severe bruising around the victim’s eye and the damage to her scalp. Her mother told the paper that, in addition to the physical injuries sustained, her daughter is also suffering emotionally; she is extremely frightened of being alone and fears for her safety when she returns to school.
The Maine Wire reports that the attacker has ‘identified as female’ for several years and, as indicated by his social media posts, recently began taking oestrogen. The boy is, apparently, still a minor but, in July 2023, Maine passed a law - LD 535 - that allows cross sex hormones to be prescribed to 16 and 17-year-olds even without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
According to the victim’s parents, the boy attacked their daughter when she defended a friend who, it is reported, had made comments about him on social media. The two girls shared the same school bus as the male student and, on the morning of Friday 4th October, he began attacking the victim’s friends as soon as he boarded the vehicle. “There was no warning”, the victim’s mother said. “He just immediately hopped on the bus and went right after her.” The victim’s father described him as “Pounding on this other girl while she was pinned in her seat”. So the victim intervened to defend her friend and tried to pull the boy away.
The driver of the bus was able to separate the boy from the two female students and continued his journey to the school, radioing ahead to ask for assistance. The victim’s father alleges that the school principal, Matt Haney, refused to call the police. When the bus arrived, Haney and several other adults were waiting for it. The two girls disembarked first and were trying to walk away quickly to avoid further conflict. However, the boy suddenly jumped on the victim and attacked her.
During his radio interview, the victim’s father alleged that “The only person that helped was the bus driver and they’re trying to railroad him and make him lose his job”. He also said that his daughter had been suspended from school for five days despite her being the victim in the situation.
The local police department issued a statement and are investigating the incident. The victim’s parents are considering their legal options.
The victim’s father told radio listeners that, mentally, his daughter ‘is a disaster’ and now fears being around boys, even her closest friends. “It’s a horribly traumatic thing being pinned to the ground and pounded by a guy twice your size and there are adults doing nothing and yelling for everybody else to do nothing”, he said.

KLASSEKAMPEN: The word woman is to be erased from Norway’s abortion law.
That Norway is updating its abortion legislation, increasing the gestational limit, is most welcome. However, the proposed abortion bill now being considered by the Norwegian government removes the word ‘woman’ from the bill and replaces it with the female-erasing phrase, ‘pregnant person’.

Lesbian erasure is being peddled by a branch of the United Nations.
UN Free & Equal is is the United Nations’ global campaign for ‘LGBTIQ+ equality’. According to its X/Twitter account it campaigns for “Lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex and queer equality”. But on Tuesday 8th October, International Lesbian Day, UN Free & Equal seemed intent on erasing lesbian sexuality and promoting the notion that lesbians can have male bodies.
Its post on social media read “Lesbians have many gender expressions, body types, and sex characteristics”.
No. They can’t.
Wednesday 9th October - A Room of One’s Own #1
THE TELEGRAPH: Police Scotland allows fully intact male staff and police officers to use female changing and toilet facilities.
Police Scotland’s ‘transitioning at work’ policy was last updated in 2019. It states that staff are able to use the bathrooms and changing facilities of their own choosing, regardless of whether or not they have undergone any medical treatment or surgical alteration. They can choose their own facilities even if they haven’t ‘socially transitioned’ by changing their name and/or appearance.
Shockingly, documents state that this policy applies to cross-dressers who are “Entitled to use toilet and changing facilities appropriate to the sex in which they are currently living”. Under Police Scotland’s policy, cross-dressers are defined as “People who dress, either occasionally or more regularly, in clothes associated with the opposite gender, as defined by socially accepted norms.”
So any male officer or staff member can access the supposedly female-only changing and bathroom facilities simply by claiming a trans identity - even if they’re called Brian and have a full beard - or just by popping on their wife’s jacket?
Kath Murray of Edinburgh Policy Group, Murray Blackburn Mackenzie (MBM), told The Telegraph, “In aligning its policy with the ambitions of government and activists, Police Scotland managers rode roughshod over the interests and safety of its female staff and officers. Ignoring internal warnings, it put in place an access-all-areas pass that disregarded basic safeguarding principles… Just as the policy gave cross-dressers a free pass to access female-only spaces, it did the same for any man claiming a subjective and unverifiable trans identity.”
Thursday 10th October - I Can’t Believe it’s Not Satire
REDUXX: A trans-identified male in Denmark is suing a woman over her calling out his online fetish porn and for accurately referring to him with male pronouns.
Nadia Jacobsen is a trans-identified male who advises the Danish Football Union (DBU) on trans inclusion in football.
In November 2023, the DBU published a statement announcing that it has now decided on a number of initiatives to ensure “The best conditions for all gender identities to be welcome in Danish football”. These measures for ‘inclusion’, it said, “Have been decided after a specially appointed working group has presented its recommendations”. Jacobsen is part of that group.
The DBU statement continued, “Towards 2025, the goal is to create the framework for it to become possible in grassroots football for transgender people to play with the gender they identify as… The method is based on self-identification”.
Furthermore, the DBU published guidance on ‘inclusion’ which persuades Danish football clubs to allow males into women’s changing rooms and toilet facilities. “The dressing situation can be challenging for people with a different gender identity, and it is important that care is taken about the possible challenges, so that the dressing situation does not strain inclusion… All parties are encouraged to seek pragmatic solutions for changing facilities, which can satisfy different dressing needs and increase transgender, intersex and non-binary people’s sense of being welcome in community in the locker room.”
The plans to erase women’s spaces also extend to football venues. “DBU should work to make the stadium experience when the national teams play more inclusive. This can be done, for example, as in Germany, where you let the individual spectator choose for themselves who they would prefer to be searched by. In addition, gender-neutral toilets can be made in stadiums and signs that are not only binary.”
So trans-identified males are to be allowed to play on women’s teams thanks to the recommendations provided by the steering group of which Jacobsen is a member.
Not only is he involved in advising and steering the DBU, Jacobsen has been part of a ‘working group’ which guided the DIF (the National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark, Danmarks Idrætsforbund) and has even acted as an advisor to the Danish Health Authority.
Jacobsen, who used to be involved in women’s volleyball, boasts on social media that he has a ‘female’ marker passport. He has made his contempt for women’s sport perfectly clear. In 2022 he appeared on a podcast, Trans Sporter Room, and condemned those who oppose trans-identified males competing in female sport. “They talk about being feminists”, he said. “As a feminist, one should be an accomplice or an ally. Online, especially on Facebook and Twitter, it’s insane the number people who comment and call us men and say we have an unfair advantage.”
Last year, Jacobsen posted on Instagram, very angry that his ‘girlfriend’, a trans-identified male, was no longer allowed to play women’s volleyball.
As detailed by Reduxx, Jacobsen produces homemade fetish porn which he shares publicly. He has posted numerous pornographic images and videos to his social media accounts, his now defunct Tumblr account, Nadiatv, and various fetish websites. Many of the posts involve him masturbating, often with an anally inserted sex toy.
In one post, Jacobsen engages in an activity known euphemistically as ‘sissy tasks’ or ‘sissy challenges’ which usually involves humiliation and subjugation. He posted a photo of his penis locked in a ‘chastity cage’ (a device which prevents an erection) while asking his followers to share the image and participate in his fetish. “I have gotten to a point where I don’t really want to masturbate like a boy anymore, so I will only be cumming like a woman”, he wrote. “To make it a little more interesting I am going to let you all decide for how long I should refrain from masturbating… For every ‘like’ you add one day. For every reblog you add 3 days… I will only come [sic] as a girl for the rest of my life.”
Danish women have every right to be alarmed that this man has so much influence over their sports and their single-sex safe spaces.
Lotte Ingerslev is a Danish psychotherapist and a member of SEGM (the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine). In March 2024, she published a blog post exposing Jacobsen’s online pornography habits and sounding a warning about his involvement with the DBU et al. Of course, throughout the article, she referred to Jacobsen with male pronouns.
As a result of this blog post, Ingersley is now being sued by Jacobsen, accused of harassment, defamation, and ‘misgendering’. In August she received a letter from Jacobsen’s lawyer demanding that she delete her blog post and pay Jacobsen a hefty sum in compensation.
In addition to the legal action, Lotte Ingersley is being harassed online by Jacobsen and his trans activist supporters. There have been attempts to discredit her psychotherapy consultation service, Angst-Strategier, and to remove her entire website from the internet archives. Furthermore, within the Danish trans activist network active on Mastodon, a site user shared details of Ingerslev’s home address with Jacobsen, publishing an aerial photograph of her house.

REDUXX: A Brazilian paedophile politician, convicted on numerous counts of sexually abusing children, evaded police for years by adopting a trans identity.
Nilson Nelson Machado is a former state deputy for Florianópolis, Brazil. In 2017 he was convicted on multiple counts of mistreating and sexually abusing the children and adolescents in his care at the youth centre he had managed for over 30 years.
Allegations against the 63-year-old began to emerge in 2013. One victim revealed that Machado began sexually abusing him when he was 13 years old, another that Machado had abused him when he was only eleven years of age. Other victims spoke of being deprived of food and/or physically beaten if they resisted Machado’s sexual demands.
In 2017 Machado was sentenced to just over 31 years in prison but this was later reduced to 20 years after a 2019 appeal. As he had not been remanded in custody at the time of filing his appeal, Machado seized the opportunity to abscond, fleeing to another city. A warrant was issued for his arrest, but he took on a trans persona and changed his legal documentation to obscure his true identity. He began calling himself Catarina da Lapa and re-located to Rio de Janeiro.
Machado’s rapid change of sex was facilitated by Brazil’s gender self-identification legislation which allows individuals to change their legal sex and their name at any time without requiring any medical diagnosis or treatment.
Eventually, Federal Police were able to locate Machado and re-captured him in Rio de Janeiro. Initially, he attempted to deny that he was the person sought by police, presenting them with his false documentation. After evading justice for five years under the guise of a trans identity, the convicted paedophile, Machado, was finally taken into custody last week.
Friday 11th October - A Room of One’s Own #2
LINCOLNSHIRE LIVE: Holiday company, Butlins, allows trans-identified males to use its supposedly women-only facilities and has suspended security staff for trying to protect its female spaces.
Butlin’s holiday camp in Skegness hosted the Bang Face musical festival during the weekend of 5th/6th October. During the event, it is reported that the site’s security staff saw a group of trans-identified males entering the women’s toilets so, quite rightly, tried to eject them. However, it appears the five males refused to leave the ladies’ toilets of their volition and had to be physically removed.
Following the event, one of the trans-identified males involved, Jae Roberts, posted on social media, alleging that ten security guards had ‘dragged’ five ‘trans people’ out of the ladies. Roberts went on to claim that he “Got slammed against a wall and dragged downstairs”. He encouraged viewers to “Flood the Butlin’s Skegness office with calls”.
A trans-identified male X/Twitter user who calls himself Eilidh also tried encouraging people to call Butlin’s to complain about the so-called ‘sicking [sic] transphobic behaviour’ of the security guards.
Eilidh drew a social media response from Butlin’s who assured him that they ‘take things like this very seriously’ and were ‘looking into this matter further’.
According to some social media users, Eilidh is a man called Euan Davies whose trans identity doesn’t even seem to involve him having a decent shave.
Later in the week, Jae Roberts posted on social media with an ‘update’. He said that, together with another one of the trans-identified males involved, he’d met with a member of Bang Face staff and also with the head of security and guest services for Butlin’s Skegness. He was informed that Butlin’s have removed the ‘most aggravating’ security guard from duty and are investigating the incident further. Roberts also reported that ‘somebody’ is in contact with Butlin’s third party security contractors and that this company is also investigating. He also asked for footage of the incident as he is planning a legal response.
A spokesperson for Butlin’s told The Daily Mail, “As an inclusive business we were very concerned to hear about this incident. Much to our disappointment, our third-party security contractor did not follow our processes despite being thoroughly briefed. Once we were made aware they were immediately removed from duty for not handling the situation in line with our processes. We are in direct contact with those involved and are reviewing how we work with contractors”.
Butlin’s ‘processes’ seem to involve pandering to trans-identified males who want to barge their way into female toilets while ignoring women’s need for and right to safety, privacy and dignity.
Bang Face organisers stated that they are ‘working with those involved’ to assist in making a ‘positive change’. They insisted that their festival has always been a ‘safe space for ravers’.
Not for the women and girls whose toilets are full of entitled men, it isn’t.
Saturday 12th October - The New Homophobia
THE TELEGRAPH: A group of teenage trans activists tried to derange the LGB Alliance conference by releasing thousands of insects into the venue.
The LGB Alliance is a registered charity set up by gay and lesbian rights veterans to provide support, advice, information and community to those who are same-sex attracted. This year’s LGBA annual conference was held at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London on Friday 11th October.
The conference was disrupted by a group of teenage trans activists who released thousands of live crickets into the hall where approximately 600 people had gathered to take part in the event. A group of four young girls released the insects into the auditorium just as Jamie Reed was about to take to the stage. (Jamie Reed is a lesbian who blew the whistle on the horrendous unethical practices suffered by vulnerable children in the US in the name of gender medicine. She is also married to a woman who identified as trans for 15 years and is now detransitioning. Imagine trying to silence such a unique and vital voice?)
Security guards entered the hall and the audience was immediately evacuated. Venue staff then had to vacuum up thousands of live insects. (It seems trans activism has no qualms about animal cruelty.) Kate Barker, the LGB Alliance’s chief executive, told The Telegraph, “I feel sorry for those crickets that got squished. We’ve got a lot of vegans and vegetarians who are very unhappy about that”.
Maria MacLachlan attended the conference and posted footage of the insects on her YouTube channel. She also described what she had witnessed, saying that the trans activists dumped the crickets out of white sacks at the ends of the seating rows and then immediately made a run for it.
Maria also reported that a Metropolitan Police officer had informed her that all four of the girls involved are minors (ie under the age of eighteen) and that, after questioning, each of them had been released into the care of a parent. Thus far, no arrests have been made.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told The Daily Mail, “Police were called at 16.24hrs on Friday 11th October to a report of a protest at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in Broad Sanctuary. Four protesters were reported to have released a number of insects inside the venue. They were detained by security and escorted from the premises by appropriate adults. Police have their details and an investigation into the circumstances remains ongoing”.
A group which calls itself Trans Kids Deserve Better has claimed responsibility for this stunt. This organisation, you may recall, was responsible for an occupation at the Department for Education’s Westminster headquarters earlier this year and for encouraging children to leave decorated paper coffins outside Wes Streeting’s office.
The group issued a statement: “6 young trans activists infiltrated the LGB Alliance’s annual conference at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Hall in Westminster, some of whom fled quickly after while others were held by security for a period before being let go. They did so with intentions of ending the conference early, which they describe as a horrendous breeding ground for fervent and violent transphobia. The group released approximately 6,000 crickets from bags hidden on their persons which they snuck through security just before a talk on the ‘dangers’ of medical transition.”
One so-called ‘bug carrier’ was quoted as saying, “They may try to ‘sound the alarm’ on trans youth accessing life-saving healthcare but we cannot and will not let them. Trans youth are powerful and we will let them fucking know it.”
It has been suggested that these silly young girls were acting on the instructions of a background adult puppet-master. The investigation remains ongoing.
As reported by Maria MacLachlan, a trans activist bully who calls himself ‘Sophie’ he appears to have been loitering outside the venue at the close of the conference. He is a regular interloper at Let Women Speak events.
Also making an appearance at the Queen Elizabeth II centre on the day of the LGB Alliance conference was the notorious Sarah Jane Barker.
Baker, formerly known as Alan, is a vociferous and omni-present trans activist who spent 30 years in prison for the kidnap and torture of a young man who was a member of his own family and the attempted murder of a fellow inmate. He openly incited violence against women at London’s Trans Pride rally last July by instructing the crowd, “If you see a terf, punch them in the fucking face.”
It appears Baker attended the conference venue in the company of Fred Wallace.
Wallace, of course, is the trans activist legend in his own sling backs who once sent a pornographic image of himself being fellated in a sex dungeon to a severely disabled woman on X/Twitter because she’d had the temerity to assert her right to same-sex intimate care.
Since the conference, Baker and Wallace have been gloating ceaselessly on their X/Twitter accounts, making dozens of puerile posts about the attempted disruption.
This is ‘the right side of history’, apparently.
Kate Barker commented, “This attempted sabotage speaks volumes about our opponents. For years, gender identity ideologists have infested the LGB movement, bullying and silencing anyone who disagrees with them. It’s especially sad that the perpetrators don’t seem to realise that the men and women gathered here today fought for their right to be gay, lesbian and bisexual”.
Sunday 13th October - A Room of One’s Own #3
THE DAILY RECORD: NHS Fife is trying to stifle the public reporting of a legal case concerning the access of trans-identified male staff to female-only changing rooms.
In June we reported on a nurse who is taking legal action against NHS Fife after she was forced to share a changing room with a trans-identified male colleague.
The nurse, who has worked for the NHS for 30 years, had just finished her shift on Christmas Eve 2023. She found herself alone in the women’s changing room with a trans-identified male colleague who began to take off his clothes. The woman tried to explain to him that his presence made her feel intimidated and embarrassed. He replied that he had as much right as her to use the female-only facilities.
(Is this behaviour not of concern to NHS Fife? What happens when a female patient makes a request to this male nurse for same-sex care?)
It was suggested that if the nurse was uncomfortable (sharing supposedly female-only changing facilities with a male colleague) then she could change in a cupboard.
The trans-identified male then made a formal complaint about the nurse and accused her of bullying him. She was immediately placed on ‘special leave’. In January 2024 the nurse was suspended from her job pending an investigation into her “Alleged unwanted behaviours towards another member of NHS Fife staff”. Following the intervention of her solicitor, the nurse returned to work in April 2024. However, NHS Fife instigated its disciplinary process against her.
The nurse’s solicitors began legal proceedings against NHS Fife, alleging multiple breaches of the Equality Act 2010 which protects female-only spaces. The case is to be heard in February.
The first case of its kind in Scotland, this will have an impact on female-only spaces in workplaces across the country. Obviously, there will be much public interest in the case and its outcome. However, lawyers for NHS Fife have made an application to tribunal judges for a Rule 50 Order to restrict the public reporting of this landmark case.
Posting on X/Twitter, journalist Sonia Sodha commented that this is “Against the principles of open justice. This case is in the public interest and an NHS trust shouldn’t be fighting it being reported”.
Indeed. Why the need for such cloak and dagger tactics? Especially as NHS Fife’s legal defence is financed with public money. Let the sunlight pour in.
See you next week.
It doesn’t matter how many of these horror stories I read, I’m still shocked and sickened. And not just by the stories themselves, but by the fact that after all these years, after all the evidence of harm, there are still so many people going along with it all. I’m afraid I have no patience left with them, I don’t care that the MSM isn’t reporting any of it, it’s all available with a little bit of effort. There is no excuse.
Thanks as ever JL.
Another disturbing week. Thank you for what you do. I feel traumatised so I hate to think how you feel!! The thing is all the court cases are being won by the sane people. It will all take time and money but at least (so far anyway) the law is on our side. The more we talk about this the easier it is to stand up to it. I now do not hesitate to call out this nonsense and I couldn't care less who my audience is. Lucky for me I have nothing to lose by doing so which I know is not a position everyone is in. Start small if necessary. Sense will prevail, eventually.
