Such a treat to hear Exulansic on! She dissects it all with such intelligence, clarity and humanity. I've been contributing to her patreon for a while now. I can't afford much, but she does such important work and deserves to have it supported.

To those asking, we had to take the video down for a bit to blur some details that could have been used for nefarious purposes.

Followed her on twitter after this...she can speak fluently and coherently with a humour gained from going through hardships.

"The Mess we are In"...delivers such interesting people.

Thanks all.

Re DSDs, people don’t understand big numbers. If the estimates of 1 in 5000 or 1 in 5,500 people are correct, the average primary teacher would have to teach for four lifetimes in order to encounter one child with a DSD. And even then, they wouldn’t know.

It's been expanded it's about .5 of the population. But it doesn't have anything to do with gender identity it's a development disorder that happens to involve sex development

Yes, this can’t be said often enough. Drives me crackers when these conditions are used as some sort of proof that TWAW....it has nothing to do with it.

There will be no sexual function for Jazz Jennings. I was told that if I didn't receive hormone replacement therapy for my rare condition hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, I would not have any sexual function. Puberty blockers cause HH in children. The function of sexual development is produced exclusively by estrogen in females and testosterone in males. This is why transsexuals go through puberty first. They have already established sexual function. A person who does not go through puberty will not have sexual function. Don't be fooled by the word 'orgasmic naivety.'

I had HH as a result of a symptomatic empty sella syndrome, and was put on injectable HCG for almost eight years. Without it, my testosterone level would have been less than that of a woman, and any kind of sexual function would have been impossible. Jazz is a boy and completely lacks testosterone. He is destined for a life without any possibility of sexual congress or sexual satisfaction. My heart bleeds for him.

I am delighted to hear her talk about practical matters in relation to mental health! How does your fetish help you function better at work and at home? Does it have a negative impact? Are you using your family's money to indulge yourself? I think many people with mental problems, particularly men, need practical help in managing life, managing stress, managing relationships.

Hello Graham I have complained about a recent headline in The Evening Gazette, a Teeside newspaper. I complained because its so dishonest. I will quote the headline. Quote Teesside woman accused of exposing penis, using sex toy and masturbating in public. Unquote. The article goes onto say that Chloe Thompson has plead not guilty to the aforementioned offences. I have so many issues but the most serious is how it skewers the national crime statistics. Which is such a disgrace and completely untrue. I am so angry.

It is, as you say, disgusting. A misogynistic outrage. But found the way this was reported really interesting. Journalist are bound by iPSO guidelines, so they sometimes (and this is more local newspapers) get round having to use wrong-sex pronouns by including a photo which makes it clear it's a man. This article went even further by mentioning 'penis'. It's as if they are trying to fight back. Pathetic that this is the only way they have of doing it. I do not really believe most journalists want to be telling lies to people

I think you are correct there. I hope what you are saying is true I really do. Most of the people I shared this with think it's a joke- but I am trying to tell them that is a serious subject especially given the nature of the charges. I know in the UK that due to people self identifying that this indeed did skew the national crime statistics and there was action taken to address this. However I am also shocked at how emboldened this man is. Usually when there is evidence like this the advice is to take a guilty plea. I am going to watch this case and if I can get time off work.I will try to go to court. I wonder if he will use being trans as some kind of mitigating circumstance? Thanks for info.

He may use being trans. Or he may say he was exposing himself at the window inside where he was living and had a right to be naked in his own home. I know a former magistrate who tells me of one case of a man who appeared naked every morning when schoolgirls went past his house. His defence was he didn’t know they were there. He was found guilty, happily.

I just wanted to give you an update, you are completely right about the IPSO guidelines. The paper replied to me and said they reported the case as it was documented by the police. However I thought that the Home Office stated that police forces are to be given new instructions on recording the sex of criminals more accurately. I am going to write to the Cleveland Police because when this case does go to court and if he is convicted I am really concerned that he will be placed in a womens prison. I will keep pursuing this and let you know how I get on with it.

I’m so excited for this one!

She had me watching her vids cos of her dead pan delivery - obviously extremely clever and intelligent but has a weird kookiness that is very engaging.

Expand full comment

I love Exulansic. Yes, videos are shocking and disturbing, but I do love her dry, deadpan sense of humour. And it is obvious she is outraged by what is happening to these young people and outraged by the grifters who are making money out of mutilating children and young people. She was great on The Mess.

And I love how she consistently frames gender ideology as a religion, which you do too, Graham. It is a great way of explaining the ideology to other people. Bearded Irish woke bros on Twitter who spout TWAW are my bête noire. Oh, they are SO progressive, and oh, how awful the Catholic Church is, and oh, shame on those people who let the church dictate their behaviour, and oh, those silly people believing in the big man in the sky. Yet, they will persist in telling a woman like me that trans-identifying men ARE women. Yes, you CAN change sex.

What utter tools. They have replaced one religion with a new one. They are still being dictated to by men in frocks that say you must believe in impossible things. They do not question because they are told they should not question, the dogma must be taken at face value. They are sitting idly by while watching children being harmed.

This struck such a chord. I was trying to explain to a very young relative when we visited the body of a relative resting before the main funeral elsewhere. He was so sweet and didn't, and quite understandably, know what we were doing all gathered there and being sad. I tried to quietly explain it all, and who the man in the dress was up in the front, and used purple 'dress' as a shorthand, so he would understand. There were a few outraged shushing sounds from the pews around me and I said, come on, it is a dress. No one argued back but there was the inevitable discussion on the types of cassocks and who was more senior in the hierarchy. Someone always seems to make a joke about Primates at that point.

Death is such a normal process and I wanted him to have less fear about it and know we were there to guide him through such a strange time with all the adults about them acting differently. Yet the more pious around me would rather I got the terms for the uniform right. Can't see the wood for the trees. And once ideologies get their claws into you.

I often wonder if that's how this got slipped into Irish law more easily. Go well, irishwitch :-)

Sierra is a queen. Knows her subject and the mocking delivery is tempered with compassion. Her indefatigable stance 'I'll be doing this anyway, until enough people say wtf and stop it' and sheer determination make her one of the best.

Coming from you, Rex, that's high praise indeed. I guess it takes one star to know another star. And I agree with you absolutely re: Sierra (Exulansic). She is a rare gem indeed, and one of our most potent weapons in the fight against this gender identity nonsense.

A wonderful interview. Thank you for sharing Exulansic's unique and much-needed voice! Her brilliant videos are wonderful. In the spirit of this, I share the Pronoun Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xetogrd3n4Y&t=278s

Was listening on YouTube, and it disappeared before my very eyes! Removed from the history, as well. So “memory hole” Orwellian of Google.

I think Helen mentioned Man at Bus Stop by name accidentally, that maybe the reason

Inadvertently, surely. It’s just so creepy when there’s no immediate explanation. Thanks!

Maybe Graham will let his subscribers see the uncut version of his YouTube show

I was part way through watching and it disappeared for me too....

A minor nitpick, because I was nodding along enthusiastically when Exulsanic briefly spoke about high frequency hearing issues, Graham's sound was terrible in this show! Not sure if there was a microphone problem, or he needs some interior decor advice from Arty who had an excellent number of echo cancelling cushions on display.

Anyway, fascinating guest who I didn't know much about. I plan to fix that.

I’m a big fan who heard of her from Graham’s newsletter here, and now supports her on Patreon. Very intelligent, articulate, polyglot woman who can bust us up with laughter when these gender “ideities” (as she puts it) are scrutinized. All the while, promoting the dignity of human beings and shining the spotlight on the fantastic horrors being visited particularly on women and youth in this medical malpractice. She’s applied for church status (application pending) and said her Patreon supporters are automatically members of the Church, but may request formal excommunication if they’d prefer. She understands this stuff pretty thoroughly from a de-transitioner’s perspective. I ❤️ EXULANSIC!

And easier to find if I spell her name correctly! It's been fixed now on the YouTube title.

My MP rarely responds he just sends an automated response. He refers you to his website, he nearly always votes with the gov. He is worse than useless. He used to reply to me but no longer. I suppose I am often emailing him about many different issues. It is a joke.

The Jazz story is so appalling in the coercion of particularly the mother towards Jazz. Like Munchausen. The penis party was so shocking. The other thing when her mother was saying she was going to force Jazz to have those hideous plugs in his constructed vagina cos Jazz was saying he was fed up with it. That poor lad has gone through hell.

I love Helen's accent. I'm in North Wales, I missed out on the cool accent
