And the general public still thinks all of this is about a small minority. It's a war on reality affecting everyone. This is the biggest scandal of generations.
Answer: the coercion exercised by Stonewall on all its "Diversity Champion" companies, Gov depts, NHS Trusts, etc etc. Stonewall is running a protection racket and the victims don't realise it.
But they pay Stonewall. It's so weird, isn't it? I wonder how workplaces are getting on who are not buying into this (in both senses). Are they managing to go under the radar (in terms of not jumping on the bandwagon)?
I also work in the public sector and nearly had a stand-up row with our "Head of Diversity and Inlusion" in a training session about the distinction between gender and sex in around 2018.
With the utmost respect you weren't there to be able to say whether it was the wrong approach. I pointed out the error and she tried to fight me on it, then I outlined it in the feedback for the session with links. It has to be pointed out in front of others so they don't absorb the bullshit.
The point is, incorrect legal advice exposes the organisation to risk. That's the line to take -- and entitles you to email the boss, head of department or whoever.
THIS (also a public sector worker). The number of colleagues, including the ones responsible for training, who believe that gender identity, rather than gender reassignment, is the protected characteristic. Passing the ignorance on to others, who have the authority to make decisions affecting other people’s lived.
It's not the Government enforcing the woo woo on the CS, it is the current and past influence of Stonewall. Now there are people's jobs invested in pushing this crap as policy and training and as it's their job, they will continue to push it until stopped.
Yes OK but Suella likes to talk the talk about all this so it’s high time she actually did something about it! Nobody elected the Civil Service so they shouldn’t be allowed to call the shots.
Exactly! If they mandated morning prayers for every worker would the government sit by and do nothing? I doubt it. Whatever they don't challenge they are tacitly approving.
MPs (The Government) call "the shots" i.e. make decisions on matters of law and governance as to how the country is run. The CS is there to carry out the wishes of the Government and to advise them. Within the CS, each department has freedom to run it's area within the current laws as long as it complies with employment law and other laws such as the E&D Act (2010), Helath and Safety Act (1974) etc. Where they are running fowl is letting a lobby group like Stonewall educate the CS departments (and police etc.) on the law and misrepresenting the E&D act. Basically the HR departments are being remiss in their application of the law by using the Stonewall definitions. A further issue is when captured CS departments then incorporate gender ideology into other policies and use this to then advise the Government.
There seem to be a lot of people in the 'Diversity & Inclusion' sector now. I've been watching "Make Me Prime Minister" on TV and there are two out of only about 12 people.
I can't imagine who might win the next GE but if Labour looses in part because of their stance on Transgenderism then the Tories get another five years on the back of promising to clean up the mess caused by their own negligence. They let this mind virus spread unopposed yet because all the other parties are even more captured they could end up being rewarded by the electorate.
Yup. I've mentioned in the comments a few times too. Where I work the D&I training is the same (it is available across the CS) and where I work they go one step further encouraging everyone to be more inclusive by displaying our pronouns and grooming us into using more inclusive language. Full on indoctrination going on. What is more my department is still a bloody Stonewall Champion as far as I know FFS. Our Women's Network was recently renamed the Women's Inclusive Network as it wasn't inclusive and now includes, well anyone, so what's the bloody point? Culturally, they are completley captured and being rules by D&I staff in HR - so many jobs rely on furthering this BS. Staff that are GC are being silenced across the CS in case they are seen to be non-inclusive.
When will people realise that including pronouns is discriminatory? It is exclusive. It outs people when they are not ready to come out. It is bullying behaviour and against the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998. I have had a transwoman argue the toss during training but the person couldn't come up with the legislation that backed their argument.
Their argument, where I am anyway, is that if everyone displays their pronouns then it makes it easier for trans people to display theirs when they are ready so it doesn't out them. What it does do is force us all to adopt the gender woo at work. We have had an article published at work telling us that it makes LGBTQ+ staff feel safer if we do so, implying of course that those of us that don't are unsafe to be around, can't be trusted and are most probably bigots.
I was in a job where I was told I had to. When I asked where in employment or equality law it stated I had to, the HR person couldn't come up with anything. So no pronouns! I did say I would use ironic/cynic and was told they are not pronouns...
But if you don't have a gender identity, or perhaps you don't know if you have one and you can't be totally sure you're cisgender, technically you could be lying if you stated your pronouns.
I wonder what they'd say if you were to say that you'd feel very uncomfortable stating your pronouns incase you somehow misgendered your gender soul? That you feel it's far too sacred to make a rough estimation!
I mean... if they are going to be so stupid!?
Only hypothetically BlackieKat, how do other people feel? Let me guess, there are a good few going "oh it's no big deal" 🙄
Most people are sleepwalking into all this - they either think it makes them kinder and more evolved or they can't see the big deal as they still think it's to do with those nice transexuals like so-and-so down the road and they just want to get on with their lives. Then there are those with kids who are captured and now trans and they say things like "well kids understand so much more than we do about these things" as if we were getting it wrong about biology for hundreds of years.
There are transsexual women who won't give up their pronouns - they, like me, really don't care what anyone else calls them. Pronouns are only useful if you are not in the conversation and who really cares what you are called if you are not there. So many people refer to me as that "weird bitch" or "weird witch", so I have been told by people who think I care!
Exactly! But I've had so many people in my social circles tell me that it's somehow disrespectful to use a different pronoun for someone than their "preferred" ones, even if not in their presence, even if talking to someone who doesn't know them. Seems nutsy to me.
In what way does obliging staff to display their pronouns contribute to inclusiveness? Obviously, it doesn't because it's intended to intimidate them and achieve compliance, which will lead to more intrusions they'll be required to comply with. Or, as you say, grooming. Your department really is earning its place in the Stonewall champions league of indoctrinators. All to achieve the kind of inclusion that expropriates women and then punishes us for resisting.
Apparently Stonewall added a disclaimer to the bottom of their website in the Summer which basically washes their hands of liability if people follow the garbage on the site.
Drip. Drip. Drip. The constant erosion of the truth. Facts being replaced with 'gender' cultists' wannabe 'facts'. Repeated so often, they become seemingly true. People not doing their homework. People too afraid to do their homework. The cult requires silence and acquiescence and that seems to what its getting from most people. Thank god for the whistleblowers. The brave ones.
This stuff makes me rage. It's blatant, coercive and against the law!! We need an army of the next Maya's to stand up, join forces, across the country and push back. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! Too many sheep being lead by wolves.
WTHoly fuck? That's a nightmare of "enlightened" anti-enlightenment woo woo managerial class gas lighting coming down on the actual working classes heads. --- Deserving of dismissal are all those who wrote this up and signed off on it. Intentional misrepresentation is not a small matter in this arena, nor should it ever be so.
At my university we were told to include pronouns if possible to make students feel safe and included. Most staff did so. Including me, until I stopped to think critically. Very senior staff display them proudly. I have seen documents that are in the public realm where under the guise of inclusion staff disclose their 'cis' and heterosexual status. Like your capacity to teach maths or astrophysics or nursing depends on who you fancy or what 'gender' you are asking people to use when you're not even in the room to hear it. We're a Stonewall Diversity champion and I assume it emanates from them. Training in the nuttiness is causing havoc across all sectors.
I’ve had similar training recently when I started a new job. The thing is, if you don’t know anything about the debate, why would you question the information put in front of you. I was also given the organisational email signature with the space for the pronouns included. Again, if you don’t know what the problem is with that and everyone else has it, why question it.
I’ve noticed there is only one woman in my office without pronouns in her email sig. I’m ashamed to admit that I went in with every intention NOT to include pronouns but then when I saw it was already on the footer I didn’t remove it. I totally chickened out. I now think about removing it daily. I’m ashamed of myself.
Sazzle Dazzle you have a “friend”, a member of your tribe. If you remove those pronouns there will be two of you in the tribe. Then see if any others come forward. It’s not so difficult. Give it a go.
I suspect no one would notice. Be prepared and if someone asks if you did remove them you can say 'yes'. Or 'oh, did I?' and leave it at that. It would be then up to them to try to construct some reason to challenge you over this. And if they do, you know what kind of workplace you are in.
If you want help with summoning up the courage, watch Kellie Jay Keen’s YouTube talks, especially Terf Talk Tuesday. This always inspires courage and hope for me.
The Free Speech Union has guidance on this- just Google Free Speech Union Pronouns. It says you could leave the email template blank. If asked about it you would need to provide a calm reasonable explanation. You could probably say it doesn’t fit with your belief system? That would give you protections under the Equality Act.
The quick acceptance of these lies and the accompanying female erasure has to do with regret over how the AIDS crisis was handled. The deaths in that tragedy are equated and conflated with the suicide narrative promoted by Trans Ideologists. The "non-binary" and other identities came out of internet chat rooms and kids having no supervision. The academic world jumped on it for cache. It's taken decades, I know, as it was exactly 30 years ago (+2 months) that I discovered my husband's cross-dressing journals (our sons were 1 and 4) and was treated to this indoctrination. The elitist attitudes about "educating the masses' were part of the psychological field's inattention to actual valid research. Most likely the "buck" will get slowly derailed by the stories of detransitioners, whose lives are permanently altered by terrible malpractice. Trans widows are finding our voices, but its very hard to speak out.
Ute Heggen, author, In the Curated Woods, True Tales from a Grass Widow (iuniverse, 2022)
Helen! I so appreciate this. I'd hoped Glinner would contact me at uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com to set up an interview, (we were in contact about a year ago) as he'd interviewed one other trans widow, Jennie. In any case, I and other trans widows appear in a soon to be released film, Behind the Looking Glass, by Vaishnavi Sundar, whose excellent series, "Dysphoric" is on her youtube channel, Lime Soda Films. She must have interviewed a couple dozen of us. I imagine the January 2023 date for the film's release on that channel is excellent timing, considering the constant news feeds about medical malpractice, detransitioners and child molesters.
Sorry Ute, I've had to put a bunch of things on hold as im moving flat soon and need to concentrate on that. When I get settled we'll sort something out!
Thanks Graham, I'll send you an email. Good luck with the move. I hope you might have a window box to grow flowers in next spring! Just fyi, new trans widow memoir, with much more on the husband's narcissism in the new memoir out on Amazon, 18 Months by Shannon Thrace. She "tried out" much more than me.
I'll be here! And here's my compilation of 6 studies on the flaws of the Jack Turban studies, the flaws of early small Dutch studies and why they never should have been the foundation for a medical response to body dissociation.
It's not the Government. It's Stonewall and their bloody diversity champions scheme. They infiltrated HR departments and influenced the D&I training and policy in many, if not all CS departments. Where I work they even put out a new D&I policy which was straight out of the mouth of Stonewall adn included a page on what a woman was (anyone who says they are), the sex is a spectrum BS and what language to use and the cowards that are senior managers cascaded this to teams in briefing and told us we had to be more aware of D&I and encouraged us to add our pronouns.
Because it has become people's jobs and they are believers, and once it becomes people's jobs and it becomes policy it is hard to change without a strong will inside the organisation in a position of power and influence. The people in position and influence are at the top of the tree and are overwhelmingly pale, stale and male and desperate to show inclusive they are.
Like society, it is rife with casual sexism which make it harder for women to get ahead. The current D&I climate favours some more than others and then add the gender woo nonsense and women aren't listened to and become a subset of our sex. The trouble with the CS is that if you work there long enough it is hard to leave. They tie you in with a pension and other companies won't look at you as they consider you institutionalised. There are many of us that would leave if we could, but we would lose everything we had worked hard for - our career, a decent pension and the opportunity to retire before we are 70 (if at all). It is a choice to stay, but we don't do it because it is comfortable or because it is what we would prefer. What we cna do is quietly resist. I see people that have not added their pronouns and they cannot be deaf or blind to the "encouragemnet" to do so and comply. Like me, they have chosen not to. Those people, give me hope.
Because the lobby group is doing exactly what certain members of government want them to do. How can you tell? Because words are cheap and actions show us the truth.
Scott Newgent says Stonewall was going bankrupt in 2015, so they started promoting transgenderism and now they're cashing in again. Makes sense.... #followthemoney
I thought they'd been offered a large injection of money at that time, on the condition they focused on the t. I might be confusing speculation for actual reportage.
But BigPharma are also driving it somehow? OR have they just benefitted from Stonewall's lunacy? If this is happening worldwide (mainly in the west), it must be bigger than UK Stonewall. I'm not getting how this is connected with other countries, it's like a wave of a belief system!?
I believe it is being pushed by the transhumanist billionaires, I think it was Jennifer Bilek who wrote about this. These very rich Americans have pushed loads of money to disseminate the ideology round the world.
Yup - everyone else is jumping on it as it serves their ends too - so surgeons do because they get to make money, Stonewall did, becuase they get to make money, perverts do becuase they get to indulge in their fetish....
Link to excerpts of new Michael Biggs paper debunking "Dutch Protocols." It's a real shocker. Link to full paper in article. Mermaids listed as a nefarious influence in Britain, the pressure put on Tavistock 15 years ago. Just outrageous. But not surprising.
Today's post has the 6 major studies debunking "affirmation, informed consent" with links to the original publications in medical and other journals. Five are from 2022 and one is the Swedish study from 2011, demonstrating suicide rates go UP not down after surgeries, and after a decade.
Stonewall's aim is to replace Sex with Gender Identity in law and life. Statistics of male violence against women, for example, will become meaningless as men self-identify as Non-Binary or a Trans Woman.
In the recent Mermaids v.s LGB Alliance tribunal it emerged that:
1.Same-sex attraction = homosexuality
2. Same-gender attraction = GI (Gender Identity) homosexuality
3. Opposite sex attraction = Heterosexuality
4. Opposite gender attraction = GI heterosexuality
1 & 3 are transphobic because they are sex-based not GI-based
A GI Lesbian is a male observed at birth, heterosexual, who now identifies as female and claims to be a lesbian.
It also emerged that the belief that it is not possible to change sex is 'political'
>MG (barrister for Mermaids): u set up lgba to fight that?
>Kate Harris: was set up for children...concerned about children growing up fed tissue of lies about myth u can change se. U cannot change sex
Government. They are doing the bidding of their U.S. masters. And believe me, the U.S. is western Europe's master, or as Brzezinski liked to refer to you: Eurovassals. If you don't know who Brzezinski was, he was the Democratic Party equivalent of Henry Kissinger, and he had a lot to do with funding and arming the Taliban.
On the Parliament.uk petition website the petition committee can reject petitions on the basis of a negative focus on gender identity. Even though this is not a protected characteristic.
In practice this means TRAs have raised multiple petitions for GRA / Equality Act reform but any trying to change it from a gender critical perspective are automatically rejected and not published.
The standards for petition say: "We'll have to reject your petition if: It’s offensive or extreme in its views. That includes petitions that attack, criticise or negatively focus on an individual or a group of people because of characteristics such as their age, disability, ethnic origin, gender identity, medical condition, nationality, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation" https://petition.parliament.uk/help
It means zero gender critical petitions are getting through the petitions committee for consideration by Parliament. You can't get signatures if they delete the petitions.
"Expert sexologists," who defined the "trans" diagnosis, operated (pun intended) on the premise that nothing negative happened in the patient's childhood, there is no cause in the environment giving the patient this mental illness, this body dissociation. The political arm of the wealthy male patient metaverse inserted these guidelines, straight out of the oddly anonymous webpage, "Trans Journalists Association Style Guide" into corporate and government policies. It could only happen in the last few decades, as they could search online and find each other, join together to influence. Similarly, kids search online for why they suffer in puberty and get recruited to validate the sex fetishists.
Dr. Stephen B. Levine, et al, paper at taylor&francisonline (Mar. 17, 2022) debunks most of the theories behind affirmation: Informed Consent Reconsidered.
Because of the insidious institutional capture, it will take a decade for detransitioners to expose the truth about "trans." Trans widows try, see at transwidowsvoices.org (I'm Bertina there)
I learned it 30 years ago as the wife of a vulnerable, confused man who'd been abused in childhood, now my ex. I work to counter "affirmation" in body/mind movement connecting the major nerves in the torso, vagus nerve and phenic nerve, to the sense of wellbeing. It is assumed by the public that this work goes on before the letters going to the surgeons. No, there is no physio-therapy path, according to the likes of Blanchard, Zucker and other "experts." They got it wrong.
Ute Heggen, author, In the Curated Woods, True Tales from a Grass Widow (iuniverse, 2022)
Your work in connecting the nerves sounds very interesting; and it seems to me is what is needed to counter this anti-materialist bs - listen to the body!
Yes, it's a result of contemplating the nerve damage these girls have with the scars after their across the chest assembly-line mastectomies. The vagus nerve is major in the pain/adrenaline cycle of PTSD. A sense of well-being throughout the torso comes from interesting, absorbing movements to strengthen the muscles, connecting mind/body. Feldenkrais physical therapy, with its engineering approach to the body, is an influence. Do visit at:
OMG! I didn’t previously realize that you’re a bodyworker. I also have witnessed and experienced firsthand the phenomenal power of manual therapies like Feldenkrais (I’ve only heard of it, not experienced it) and am trained in Reflexology with a Five Elements philosophical foundation from Traditional Chinese Medicine. My feet have never once lied to me, and surely this rampant bodily dissociation could be helped by manual therapies such as Feldenkrais. I experienced a life-changing realignment from Myofascial Release, but just like any therapy, the therapist’s skill in application is everything. I’m so thankful I was ready for its application and had a truly gifted therapist applying it. Thanks for promoting Feldenkrais like you do! Someday soon we should all have access to such healing and health-promoting care. ☮️❤️🐾
Thanks! I'm a former dancer. I put out the movement series I choreographed because they keep me grounded. Just imagine, pressure point, core movement sequences and Feldenkrais to deal with body dissociations. A logical approach, healing naturally!
And the general public still thinks all of this is about a small minority. It's a war on reality affecting everyone. This is the biggest scandal of generations.
"War on reality" is exactly right.
We know this garbage is coming from the top down, but where is the source?
Answer: the coercion exercised by Stonewall on all its "Diversity Champion" companies, Gov depts, NHS Trusts, etc etc. Stonewall is running a protection racket and the victims don't realise it.
But they pay Stonewall. It's so weird, isn't it? I wonder how workplaces are getting on who are not buying into this (in both senses). Are they managing to go under the radar (in terms of not jumping on the bandwagon)?
The marketing dept at Stonewall is only interested in the "big fish".
Big corporations with money, you mean?
I also work in the public sector and nearly had a stand-up row with our "Head of Diversity and Inlusion" in a training session about the distinction between gender and sex in around 2018.
Brave, but the wrong approach. Don't try and win people over. Just point out the legal error, with the email copied to relevant parties.
With the utmost respect you weren't there to be able to say whether it was the wrong approach. I pointed out the error and she tried to fight me on it, then I outlined it in the feedback for the session with links. It has to be pointed out in front of others so they don't absorb the bullshit.
The point is, incorrect legal advice exposes the organisation to risk. That's the line to take -- and entitles you to email the boss, head of department or whoever.
Which.... I did. So I'm not sure what your point is exactly.
THIS (also a public sector worker). The number of colleagues, including the ones responsible for training, who believe that gender identity, rather than gender reassignment, is the protected characteristic. Passing the ignorance on to others, who have the authority to make decisions affecting other people’s lived.
We all know that the main opposition parties are wholly captured by gender ideology but now we see this has government approval.
Im starting to really tire of meaningless words of support by the sitting government and its MPs.
The Conservative party are in power and have been for several years now.
This madness and everything around it has happened on their watch, by their hand and on their say so.
Warm comforting words are no longer acceptable...they need brought to task on this.
It's not the Government enforcing the woo woo on the CS, it is the current and past influence of Stonewall. Now there are people's jobs invested in pushing this crap as policy and training and as it's their job, they will continue to push it until stopped.

Yes. Because if you politely and professionally resist the woo, they don't have a legal leg to stand on.
Brilliant. I’m going to use your approach. And I thought pronouns could be anything you wanted them to be because that’s your identity after all.
Good for you!
But if you don't have a gender identity, or perhaps you don't know if you have one and you can't be totally sure you're cisgender, technically you could be lying if you stated your pronouns.
I wonder what they'd say if you were to say that you'd feel very uncomfortable stating your pronouns incase you somehow misgendered your gender soul? That you feel it's far too sacred to make a rough estimation!

In what way does obliging staff to display their pronouns contribute to inclusiveness? Obviously, it doesn't because it's intended to intimidate them and achieve compliance, which will lead to more intrusions they'll be required to comply with. Or, as you say, grooming.

BBC still linking to Mermaids.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3hWKnzF4xGnZ0SmtJvWvByP/information-and-support
I have just filed a complaint to the BBC.
I’ve had similar training recently when I started a new job. The thing is, if you don’t know anything about the debate, why would you question the information put in front of you.

If you want help with summoning up the courage, watch Kellie Jay Keen’s YouTube talks, especially Terf Talk Tuesday. This always inspires courage and hope for me.
Would anyone really notice?
It’s the fact that it’s already set up thus…there’s even a link explaining what pronouns are and why they are important.
May as well be a link to why it's important to wear a crucifix.
The Free Speech Union has guidance on this- just Google Free Speech Union Pronouns. It says you could leave the email template blank. If asked about it you would need to provide a calm reasonable explanation. You could probably say it doesn’t fit with your belief system? That would give you protections under the Equality Act.
Great idea, thanks
Who is pushing this ?
Stonewall ?
Government?
The buck has to stop somewhere, but where ?
The quick acceptance of these lies and the accompanying female erasure has to do with regret over how the AIDS crisis was handled. The deaths in that tragedy are equated and conflated with the suicide narrative promoted by Trans Ideologists. The "non-binary" and other identities came out of internet chat rooms and kids having no supervision. The academic world jumped on it for cache. It's taken decades, I know, as it was exactly 30 years ago (+2 months) that I discovered my husband's cross-dressing journals (our sons were 1 and 4) and was treated to this indoctrination. The elitist attitudes about "educating the masses' were part of the psychological field's inattention to actual valid research. Most likely the "buck" will get slowly derailed by the stories of detransitioners, whose lives are permanently altered by terrible malpractice. Trans widows are finding our voices, but its very hard to speak out.

Thank you Ute.
Full respect to you, Ute.
Your voice is so powerful, Ute. Keep speaking out, as must we all. 🙏🏼
Helen! I so appreciate this. I'd hoped Glinner would contact me at uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com to set up an interview, (we were in contact about a year ago) as he'd interviewed one other trans widow, Jennie. In any case, I and other trans widows appear in a soon to be released film, Behind the Looking Glass, by Vaishnavi Sundar, whose excellent series, "Dysphoric" is on her youtube channel, Lime Soda Films. She must have interviewed a couple dozen of us. I imagine the January 2023 date for the film's release on that channel is excellent timing, considering the constant news feeds about medical malpractice, detransitioners and child molesters.
Sorry Ute, I've had to put a bunch of things on hold as im moving flat soon and need to concentrate on that. When I get settled we'll sort something out!
Thanks Graham, I'll send you an email. Good luck with the move. I hope you might have a window box to grow flowers in next spring! Just fyi, new trans widow memoir, with much more on the husband's narcissism in the new memoir out on Amazon, 18 Months by Shannon Thrace. She "tried out" much more than me.
I'll be here! And here's my compilation of 6 studies on the flaws of the Jack Turban studies, the flaws of early small Dutch studies and why they never should have been the foundation for a medical response to body dissociation.

It's not the Government. It's Stonewall and their bloody diversity champions scheme. They infiltrated HR departments and influenced the D&I training and policy in many, if not all CS departments. Where I work they even put out a new D&I policy which was straight out of the mouth of Stonewall adn included a page on what a woman was (anyone who says they are), the sex is a spectrum BS and what language to use and the cowards that are senior managers cascaded this to teams in briefing and told us we had to be more aware of D&I and encouraged us to add our pronouns.
Yet the Government tell the orgs. that the information often used is incorrect, and that’s ignored.
Since when did a lobby group become, in effect, stronger than the Government and said Government appear to do nothing ?
Concerning to say the least.
Because it has become people's jobs and they are believers, and once it becomes people's jobs and it becomes policy it is hard to change without a strong will inside the organisation in a position of power and influence. The people in position and influence are at the top of the tree and are overwhelmingly pale, stale and male and desperate to show inclusive they are.
And because a world without safeguarding standards is secretly appealing to some men.
Pale, stale snd male … priceless 👌
That company effectively disrespects women, I wouldn’t be able to work in your company. If I couldn’t change it I would have to leave.
Like society, it is rife with casual sexism which make it harder for women to get ahead. The current D&I climate favours some more than others and then add the gender woo nonsense and women aren't listened to and become a subset of our sex. The trouble with the CS is that if you work there long enough it is hard to leave. They tie you in with a pension and other companies won't look at you as they consider you institutionalised. There are many of us that would leave if we could, but we would lose everything we had worked hard for - our career, a decent pension and the opportunity to retire before we are 70 (if at all). It is a choice to stay, but we don't do it because it is comfortable or because it is what we would prefer. What we cna do is quietly resist. I see people that have not added their pronouns and they cannot be deaf or blind to the "encouragemnet" to do so and comply. Like me, they have chosen not to. Those people, give me hope.
Because the lobby group is doing exactly what certain members of government want them to do. How can you tell? Because words are cheap and actions show us the truth.
Scott Newgent says Stonewall was going bankrupt in 2015, so they started promoting transgenderism and now they're cashing in again. Makes sense.... #followthemoney
I thought they'd been offered a large injection of money at that time, on the condition they focused on the t. I might be confusing speculation for actual reportage.
Not sure. Sounds plausible to me!
Absolutley. They had to decide to disband or find a new cause. Hence the birth of the alphabet soup we are presented with now.
But BigPharma are also driving it somehow? OR have they just benefitted from Stonewall's lunacy? If this is happening worldwide (mainly in the west), it must be bigger than UK Stonewall. I'm not getting how this is connected with other countries, it's like a wave of a belief system!?
I believe it is being pushed by the transhumanist billionaires, I think it was Jennifer Bilek who wrote about this. These very rich Americans have pushed loads of money to disseminate the ideology round the world.
Yup - everyone else is jumping on it as it serves their ends too - so surgeons do because they get to make money, Stonewall did, becuase they get to make money, perverts do becuase they get to indulge in their fetish....
Yeah, exactly. I read a lot of JB's stuff. So collusion then!
Link to excerpts of new Michael Biggs paper debunking "Dutch Protocols." It's a real shocker. Link to full paper in article. Mermaids listed as a nefarious influence in Britain, the pressure put on Tavistock 15 years ago. Just outrageous. But not surprising.

Thanks Ute Heggen.
You are welcome. Thank you.
Today's post has the 6 major studies debunking "affirmation, informed consent" with links to the original publications in medical and other journals. Five are from 2022 and one is the Swedish study from 2011, demonstrating suicide rates go UP not down after surgeries, and after a decade.

Stonewall's aim is to replace Sex with Gender Identity in law and life. Statistics of male violence against women, for example, will become meaningless as men self-identify as Non-Binary or a Trans Woman.
In the recent Mermaids v.s LGB Alliance tribunal it emerged that:
1.Same-sex attraction = homosexuality
2. Same-gender attraction = GI (Gender Identity) homosexuality
3. Opposite sex attraction = Heterosexuality
4. Opposite gender attraction = GI heterosexuality
1 & 3 are transphobic because they are sex-based not GI-based
A GI Lesbian is a male observed at birth, heterosexual, who now identifies as female and claims to be a lesbian.
It also emerged that the belief that it is not possible to change sex is 'political'
>MG (barrister for Mermaids): u set up lgba to fight that?
>Kate Harris: was set up for children...concerned about children growing up fed tissue of lies about myth u can change se. U cannot change sex
>MG: that's political
Yesss this is what I want to know!
Government. They are doing the bidding of their U.S. masters. And believe me, the U.S. is western Europe's master, or as Brzezinski liked to refer to you: Eurovassals. If you don't know who Brzezinski was, he was the Democratic Party equivalent of Henry Kissinger, and he had a lot to do with funding and arming the Taliban.
On the Parliament.uk petition website the petition committee can reject petitions on the basis of a negative focus on gender identity. Even though this is not a protected characteristic.
In practice this means TRAs have raised multiple petitions for GRA / Equality Act reform but any trying to change it from a gender critical perspective are automatically rejected and not published.
The standards for petition say: "We'll have to reject your petition if: It’s offensive or extreme in its views. That includes petitions that attack, criticise or negatively focus on an individual or a group of people because of characteristics such as their age, disability, ethnic origin, gender identity, medical condition, nationality, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation" https://petition.parliament.uk/help
That's absolutely outrageous.
It means zero gender critical petitions are getting through the petitions committee for consideration by Parliament. You can't get signatures if they delete the petitions.
These people need to be imprisoned.
I'm serious that we need a petition about this inability to petition.
"Expert sexologists," who defined the "trans" diagnosis, operated (pun intended) on the premise that nothing negative happened in the patient's childhood, there is no cause in the environment giving the patient this mental illness, this body dissociation. The political arm of the wealthy male patient metaverse inserted these guidelines, straight out of the oddly anonymous webpage, "Trans Journalists Association Style Guide" into corporate and government policies. It could only happen in the last few decades, as they could search online and find each other, join together to influence. Similarly, kids search online for why they suffer in puberty and get recruited to validate the sex fetishists.
Dr. Stephen B. Levine, et al, paper at taylor&francisonline (Mar. 17, 2022) debunks most of the theories behind affirmation: Informed Consent Reconsidered.
Because of the insidious institutional capture, it will take a decade for detransitioners to expose the truth about "trans." Trans widows try, see at transwidowsvoices.org (I'm Bertina there)
I learned it 30 years ago as the wife of a vulnerable, confused man who'd been abused in childhood, now my ex. I work to counter "affirmation" in body/mind movement connecting the major nerves in the torso, vagus nerve and phenic nerve, to the sense of wellbeing. It is assumed by the public that this work goes on before the letters going to the surgeons. No, there is no physio-therapy path, according to the likes of Blanchard, Zucker and other "experts." They got it wrong.

Your work in connecting the nerves sounds very interesting; and it seems to me is what is needed to counter this anti-materialist bs - listen to the body!
Yes, it's a result of contemplating the nerve damage these girls have with the scars after their across the chest assembly-line mastectomies. The vagus nerve is major in the pain/adrenaline cycle of PTSD. A sense of well-being throughout the torso comes from interesting, absorbing movements to strengthen the muscles, connecting mind/body. Feldenkrais physical therapy, with its engineering approach to the body, is an influence. Do visit at:
uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com
OMG! I didn’t previously realize that you’re a bodyworker. I also have witnessed and experienced firsthand the phenomenal power of manual therapies like Feldenkrais (I’ve only heard of it, not experienced it) and am trained in Reflexology with a Five Elements philosophical foundation from Traditional Chinese Medicine. My feet have never once lied to me, and surely this rampant bodily dissociation could be helped by manual therapies such as Feldenkrais. I experienced a life-changing realignment from Myofascial Release, but just like any therapy, the therapist’s skill in application is everything. I’m so thankful I was ready for its application and had a truly gifted therapist applying it. Thanks for promoting Feldenkrais like you do! Someday soon we should all have access to such healing and health-promoting care. ☮️❤️🐾
Thanks! I'm a former dancer. I put out the movement series I choreographed because they keep me grounded. Just imagine, pressure point, core movement sequences and Feldenkrais to deal with body dissociations. A logical approach, healing naturally!
Teachers receive the same sort of shite as well.
