For goodness sake, these beautiful young female humans are being abused out of their sex, their right to experience the amazing progression into adult human female status!! Why are these unhinged creatures allowed to rampage unrestricted into these babies lives!!! Waiting for the future to make them criminals is just not acceptable! We must stop this abuse🥺😢😡

The whole nonsensical ideology is toxic and destroying the lives of young people and destroying all safeguarding for children and women. I cannot thank you enough for somehow managing to stay strong and keep fighting in spite of all it has cost you in your personal and work life.

The Internet is a spread all phenomena which, as we know in 1978, was absent. I first heard of this death diet then, from a woman whose daughter was on the brink of death.

This sickness still clings on adding to this current dysphoria; doubling up indeed.

I do not understand why the various authorities, such as education, health etc who appear to believe and further conspire in this dangerous farce of ' heads in the sand while the world blows up'. They are cowards who know the truth but act out to retain a pupulist front no matter the cost.

I choose to believe that in the long haul, this gender lie of considerable magnitude will fade. However as said, leaving a trail of ruined and damaged human beings who trusted significant adults to care.

We must keep going.

There was an article in The Atlantic over 20 years ago, which described how effective this 'semantic contagion' was, even before the advent of social media and smart phones. It's called "A New Way to Be Mad".

E Page is a deeply unwell person but that is where my sympathies end. The promotion of this ideology is damaging young people & Page is actively promoting this harm. Pro Ana sites are shut down but this form of self harm is celebrated & glorified by people like Page, it should be banned.

This kind of mass hysteria involving body dysmorphia is explained away by the influence of social media but if it was really a “thing” then we would have evidence of over the last half century in a reduced form. I can count on one hand the number of female to male transvestites or such that I have met and who mostly just got on with life. In school I had lots of very athletic and a few butch friends who also did their thing but no one wanted to be or attempted to be an actual boy. So something more sinister and more underhand is going on here. A need to invade the head space of women as well as coveting their bodies. A need to convince them to erase the essence of what female is so anything can be called a woman.

It's shocking to think that bulimia spread so effectively pre-internet and without adult endorsement (obviously, because why would you endorse something so destructive?)

So it's no wonder gender dysphoria has spread so far and wide when it has, not only adult endorsement but political, corporate & celebrity endorsement. (You could equally ask again; why endorse something so destructive? But here we are).

As Helen Joyce said (paraphrased): gender ideology as social contagion grew out of stories - "positive" stories of self-realisation, transformation, re-birth etc. In time these will gradually be replaced by stories of deeply-regretful young women with facial hair, male voices and scars where their breasts should be - not to mention stories of women and girls getting attacked in public toilets, changing rooms etc. and that's when gender ideology will start to go away.

This gender ideology is being indoctrinated into schools. Seems like there isnt a safe place for girls to talk about their changing bodies and how it affects their moods and how they feel about themselves. Also doctors have been totally captured too. Miriam Cates MP has spoken up about schools in parliament again recently its on YouTube.

I have shared this on Facebook. Let’s see if there are repercussions.

I just remembered about the dancing plague of 1518. Started with a woman dancing in the street and other people joined in, mostly young woman and danced for days until they collapsed or were taken away. I think there's been outbreaks from 13th to 17th centuries. I heard that it could effect thousands of people.

It was thought to most likely be a mass psychogenic illness. I wish doctors and government people were a bit more aware of history. Or it was taught better in places like on TV and in schools. I was aware from uni that you could catch a disorder from a person, such as anorexia and other things too. But our history quite clearly shows how suggestible we are. It's so irresponsible to let people broadcast the way they are. They know about suicide risks and why that shouldn't be broadcast but keep going on about it in terms of trans people and also about being trans etc. It shows a spike. It's clearly socially spread. :(

Here's what our (UK) National Broadcaster, dear old 'Auntie' Beeb credulously wrote about Page:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56952345 "If you're not gonna allow trans kids to play sports, children will die," Page said. "And it really is that simple."

and:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-57239448. Elliot Page has won praise for posing bare-chested for the first time since coming out as trans in December.

An Instagram post shared by the actor showed him smiling while posing in a pool in swimming shorts alongside the words #transjoy and #transisbeautiful.

Page, 34, previously described his top surgery - where breast tissue is removed - as "life-saving".

From around 2014 onwards, with the CBBC documentary, I Am Leo, aimed at Primary aged children, and from then multiple dramas, online content and teaching resources the BBC has 'sold' transgenderism and social physical transition directly to children and teens. They make me sick.
