Good news about the Rachel Levine investigation. Here in the US, there is zero coverage of this in the news.

Yes, I can see that any photo of the gorgeous Rachel could be counterproductive - as in WTF...

Its weird that there is Zero coverage on all this going on. and such extremes and abuses and childrens bodies and lives changed for life. WOW anyone would think that would be first and high on the agenda. might be medica pharmaceutical and private hospitals and practitioner interests in this. Seems a lot are flocking to this area of practice like people flock to botox liposcition and enhanced surgery lucrative.

a few years ago people flocking to gener surgery operations in other countries did not know or did not mind that gender changing surgeries did not have to be medically and surgically trained or even trained in wound care and cross infection. Anyone could to it, book a trip to Turkey Tunisia or Mexico in some obscure town in a back street.

Not much I can say or do , women ( you know those ones ) are just going to have to sit on their arses and not compete until the whole world realises what a complete shit show it is

In a funny way I don’t blame the arsehole men who think they are laydee but I’ll never forgive the handmaidens

Watch this video of female comedienne and physiotherapist Elaine

about her show which was again attacked by trans.

But in it with the interviews of real women on the streets who experienced the extreme real horrors pain and damage to body just by being a woman And been ignored and dismissed by men.

How many wonderful intelligent women have just Put Up With It and have been passive

Its not just what you would think weak little stay at home docile Strepford wives who accept and put up be quiet and passive

Its all women who end up doing this

So LAY OFF!!

And be part of the solution of encouraging and enabling women not part of the hate and condemnation and attacks which is everyones go to ATTACK THE WOMEN HURT THE WOMEN - by trans socialists tories libdems greens feminists lesbians and women themselves, First Go To "Personally I Blame the Women/Parents?Mothers/Wives/ Instant social GO TO!! women have to be the solution and answer to all problems. we are in charge of the social fabric of society and family and relationships afterall. nurting and caring and all that Nobody else is responsible.

Funny how oomen blame other women for rape, child sex abuse, incest and now trans activists violence and agender. Strange That. Why is That?

Maybe you should question yourself?

Many women are passive, brought up to be so and dont question challenge stop get involved with lots of things and as you know put up with a lot of crap and extreme crap from males with a shrug and Tahts the way men are and What can you do? Boys will be Boys. Yes I would question it. and get the passive mamma wanting for a quiet life back - or get thumped attacked like others for standing up

So men attack women, tans attack women, women attack women. No excuse for you to attack women already got 6' trans punching women

Maybe instead of t-shirts saying PUNCH A TERF

you could design a t-shirt which say PUNCH ALL WOMEN WHO ARE NOT TERFS

Kinda evens it up

No excuse and I am not giving you any.

I honestly forgot how dark Dahls books were !

ahh thats so lovely. Yes they are at times but we love them. Funny how kids books used often to be a bit dark. Maybe it was a way of easing them into real life gently. Unlike Bing if you’ve ever seen it.- its canadian. I was so out raged by bing that i googled it and a mum on mums net started a thread that just read….. Bing is a c&nt.

i pissed myself laughing Petal because he is, and the show is the most disgusting child centred gentle parenting pile of shite thats ever been vomited out of a tv network. I don’t recommend it.

Thanks for the GNS, JL.

I knew Sall was going to appeal but great to learn that Allison is going to as well 😊

Great piece by Menno on Tickle v Giggle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ii0qchelSQ

#sallidarity Love it! Menno's the man. I can't now find his other recent video exposing a young woman 'comedian' wearing a short silky, very unfunny dress, getting stuck into Terfs for being 'ugly', to the great amusement of her audience. But it's spot on. Shame on her for feeding people's sexist stereotypes about Terfs and female comedians.

Thanks Dusty. I forgot the full sentence: 'Terfs are so f*cking ugly. Like, why are you bothering to preserve womanhood when you look like that?' WOW! Some women really hate women.

Thanks for recommending the first ever documentary on trans widows, Behind the Looking Glass. Since its premiere on Lime Soda Films YT channel on Friday, Aug. 30, it's gotten 70,000 views. Please do share and like and subscribe. Helen Joyce, Lisa Marchiano and writer Derek Jensen also appear to give important cultural commentary. If you are curious about the Nutrix (1950s Jersey City, NY) pamphlets with photos and letters called "Letters to the Editor from Female Impersonators" I paused and copied most of their letters to explore for differences between then and now. The gaslighting is obvious, as is the chasm of indifference towards the wives being coerced into tolerating, assisting and cheering on a husband's secret crossdressing. A thousand thanks to awesome Genevieve Gluck, who researched this historic precedent of "transition" and who introduces the written gems!

Good to hear some good news after the bad news email earlier which had me fuming. Although I'm confused about the Paris opening ceremony share after the criticism at them transing everything up and the shameful behaviour of the IOC. Not a complaint, just interested. Thanks again for all you do!

I think the Paralympic opening ceremony was wonderful and quite different from the rancid gender-riddled Olympic Games opening ceremony. I also wanted celebrate all the wonderful athletes (a couple of whom are friends of mine!) who are competing this week.

thanks JL, i’m still in the bath if you can believe. I properly broke myself last night. Fell down the stairs pissed- no damage- well bruises. I’ve not been drunk drunk for ages. Only stopped feeling terrible at 1750. What a colossal nobhead. Hope you are well JL. Everythings so depressing at the moment i can’t bloody cope so the good news section is so appreciated.

Oh CB! Sorry to hear about your tumble and your hangover. Though I'm a bit in awe of your being so pissed on a school night! (My hangover cure is a PROPER banana milkshake - bananas, whole milk, honey, oats and a big dollop of peanut butter in the blender. Never fails.) Hope the bath is helping with the bruises. Take care x

thanks JL, i was struggling with water for most of the day. Its my stupid fault. Had a lovely day and ruined it. Oh well. tomorrow will see a new beginning. I’ve not been able to change the culture at the bbc either. reasons for not covering wpath. 1. they can’t cover all stories. And in the follow up. They can’t cover all stories and no one else did.

I went to stage 3 and spent another 45 mins writing only for the site to tell me that something had gone wrong. And then we went away.

i know Petal, terrible. I’m attempting to detox now which means a series of boring nights getting bored and then just giving up and start being a piss head again. But i’ve found for a while now if i drink i just can’t sleep, i wake up at like 2 and just lie there. I think i’m old Petal. Its the same with eating too late! Rubbish!

Between thee me and whoever else reads our posts , I’m the opposite , if I don’t drink I can’t sleep , I’m definitely old , I’ve started counselling and I feel I’m just wasting resources , I need to stop by myself ,no one else can do it aside from strapping me in a chair !

I eat ok I just don’t eat enough

Sounds like booze is a bit of an issue for both of us Petal. I’m sorry to hear that. This probably is of no use but my mum always says whatever you want to improve at something whether it be painting or baking or drinking less, rate yourself on a scale 1-10, and make small sustainable steps towards the next number and don’t try to jump to your end goal straight away. so if someone is a complete alcoholic rated at 10, how do they improve to 9. And celebrate small successes. Even if the first improvement is just delaying the first drink by 20 mins. That would represent a positive step forwards. And slowly build up the progress but in a sustainable way. Sorry not trying to lecture you. but i find addressing a problem like that if i’ve made any sense helps me- sometimes. I hope you get some restful sleep. My second night off tonight which is a pretty good result for me. I’ll be getting colour vision back soon! And its wrong to think you are wasting resources. You are entitled to this world as much as anyone else. That is definitely true. I hope your skin is improving. I’m pretty sure we are alone this deep into the threads too!

HERE IS THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE BMA MEMBERS LETTER TO BMA

at : https://notinournamebma.co.uk/open-letter-not-in-our-name-bma/

Open letter to the British Medical Association from BMA members & medical professionals.

2 August 2024

Dear Professor Banfield BMA Council Chair,

We write as doctors to say, “not in my name”.

We are extremely disappointed that the BMA Council has passed a motion to conduct a “critique” of the Cass Review and to lobby to oppose its recommendations.

Read the BMA press release here Which said in July they were not accepting the Cas report as there were research methodoligies which were questionable

https://www.bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/bma-to-undertake-an-evaluation-of-the-cass-review-on-gender-identity-services-for-children-and-young-people

The passing of the motion was opaque and secretive. It does not reflect the views of the wider membership, whose opinion you did not seek. We understand that no information will be released on the voting figures and how Council members voted. That is a failure of accountability to members and simply not acceptable.

You wrote “as doctors we want to be sure they get the most appropriate care and the support they need.” Implementation of the Cass Review recommendations will be the best way to ensure children and young people with gender related distress get exactly that.

The Cass Review is the most comprehensive review into healthcare for children with gender related distress ever conducted. It took 4 years to complete and commissioned 7 systematic reviews from the University of York. It recommended a new approach based on safe, holistic, evidence-based care. It has thirty-two recommendations to improve and extend clinical services for this vulnerable group, with ongoing and embedded audit and research.

Which recommendations does the BMA oppose and why? By lobbying against the best evidence we have, the BMA is going against the principles of evidence-based medicine and against ethical practice.

In particular the BMA call to continue the current use of puberty blockers until there is a “solid evidence base” is not an evidence based approach. The Cass Review has got it right when it says that because there is so little evidence about their safety and efficacy they should only be prescribed under research conditions.

We note that the sources the BMA is relying on to cast doubt on the review are authored by groups with serious conflicts of interest and have not been through peer-review.

We are told the BMA ‘task and finish’ group will pay particular attention to the methodology used to underpin the Review’s recommendations. We note not all doctors or academics are suitably qualified to comment on systematic review methodology if they do not have specific expertise. We believe it will be very difficult for the BMA to produce a fair critique when it has already attacked the Review and voted to oppose implementation of its recommendations.

We welcome the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges statement: “Our view is that further speculative work risks greater polarisation on this matter which is not helpful and our focus should be on implementing the recommendations of the Cass Review by providing the most appropriate treatment for children and young people with gender dysphoria or gender related distress.”

One of Dr Cass’s recommendations was: “Professional bodies must come together to provide leadership and guidance on the clinical management of this population taking account of the findings of this report”.

We are dismayed that the BMA has done the opposite.

We call on the BMA to abandon this pointless exercise and to welcome and follow the Cass Review as RCPsych, RCGP and AoMRC have done.

Yours sincerely,

Not In Our Name BMA

I don’t really expect the investigation into Rachel Levine to really go anywhere. There’s probably not enough time for an investigation to actually happen before the election since HHS will likely refuse to hand over the documents. And after the election, the members of the committees will change regardless of who wins meaning the investigation will likely be shut down. Plus Republicans in the house don’t have enough votes to do anything about this anyway even if something was found in the investigation.
