This photo is from one of the very first posts I made on Substack—Stasi operatives at a fancy dress party, each of them wearing the work clothes of the person they were surveilling. It shows how quickly and casually some people can become monsters, if the cultural winds are blowing the right way.
A son who now says he is a woman, yes. And wants nothing more to do with Musk. So, yes, I am thinking Elon Musk's son may may Elon more GC than many elites.
Thanks. It's strange that I wasn't aware of that, I have read about him. His own experience will have made a huge impact, particularly as he and his child have become estranged.
I wonder sometimes, if one of the reasons that the Trans Ideology took hold so tightly - was that it does clearly relate to, or at least provides some space on the social contagion bandwagon, for sexual desires, paraphilias & kink - that most would find revolting/worrying?
People can hide behind notions of caring for the marginalised, wanting to help the deeply distressed, and, "being kind".
Whilst allowing their pleasures to become more, "acceptable" & edged towards the mainstream.
I still think we've a fight on our hands - but finally, we seem to be observing exactly what the Denton Papers advised against.
Negative accounts of Transitioning & Transitions.
"The major lesson NGOs drew from the UK experience is the importance of avoiding, where possible,
excessive and negative press coverage. Largely as a result of such press coverage, legal gender recognition, continues to be an incredibly divisive issue in the UK."
Because funnily enough - most people don't want blokes pulling themselves off in a toilet that their female family members might be in, or some AGP, flashing his junk, whenever and at whoever he thinks he can get away with it - let alone believing that kids would benefit from having a geezer doing panto woman face, whilst reading to them.
When the glittery rainbow Unicorn dust settles, one group of people that will have sustained the most damage - are tiny % who are genuinely struggling with body dysmorphia.
Because the Trans Ideology has done nothing for these people - aside from see them exploited, politicised & their issues degraded to something closer to extreme cosmetic choices.
Sexual fulfilment & the thrill of the hunt - very strong for some.
I saw a quote from an American Psychiatrist that specialises in treating inmates for sexual crimes, it came from one his prisons,
"Paedophiles don't look for kids, they look for parents that aren't paying attention"
It's the, "not paying attention" element that's happening right now, for all deviants - thanks to people that think that all it takes to be a woman, is saying that you are one.
I agree, this repulsive misogynistic cult has done so much harm to those with body dysmorphia, they have been disadvantaged and exploited it the most appalling ways.
It is possible that those who suffer from Gender Dysphoria are actually very repellent men: narcissistic, with no empathy, and extremely selfish. We have the reports from Transwidows, the abandoned wives of transsexuals (AGPs) who have "skin in the game". Transwidows married apparently sane men who became bitter, disturbed "children". Transwidows have no reason to lie. These women wanted a successful marriage but, for reasons completely beyond their influence or control, they watched their husbands degenerate and indulge a childish delusion which anyone over the age of 7 would know is utterly impossible.
Immaturity and irresponsibility in certain contexts is evil. Yes. I am going to use that word. My dead, trans ex-H was evil. He knew what he was doing: he chose to follow a delusion that harmed himself and everyone around him.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand "core sex"? I think you mean simply "dependent upon the person's sex"?
Broadly, yes, I agree with you.
Certainly I find it easy to understand why some vulnerable adolescent girls reject living as a young woman in our misogynistic, patriarchal society. I might have rejected it myself because I was a tomboy aged 12.
But why some men reject life as a man is far, far more difficult to understand.
Starting in 2008 I have read a great deal, including books by specialist psychiatrists like Dr Az Hakeem and Dr James Barrett. I have read Walt Heyer's explanation of his life and his detransitioning on his website, and moving and insightful accounts by other detransitioners.
There is a chasm between the few who espouse "gender identity" ideology and the majority of the human race which does not. The mental frameworks are incompatible.
I have concluded that only Dr Ray Blanchard made real progress when he defined very effiminate homosexual transsexuals (e.g. April Ashley) and contrasted them with apparently "normal" heterosexual transsexuals whom he named "autogynaephiles" (like my dead ex-H). This classification makes sense to me.
And then you have the "social justice warriors", "trans radical activists" who wish to spread the unfounded and unpopular "Queer theory" into "heteronormative" society. They are unhinged and their careers depend on their belief in their insane ideology. TRAs are mostly not GD sufferers, although there are exceptions: Mr "Alex" Sharpe (male "lesbian" with piercing blue eyes and luxuriant beard) and Prof "Stephen. Whittle" (female.) The latter "lady" (with deep voice, bristling beard and great personal authority) and "Freddie" McConnell are some of the most terrifying activists in a terrifying field (!)
Some might be deeply unpleasant narcissistic men who lack any regard for the people damaged by the decisions they make. As your experience was extremely bad, you know what it feels like to be harmed by someone like this. I wouldn't excuse cruel, perhaps sociopathetic behaviour in anyone, deluded or otherwise.
I'm referring to people who are deeply distressed by what they feel internally because they have dysphoria or body dysmorphia, to the extent that they feel an overwhelming part of their identity is defined by it. I don't think it can be assumed they're narcissistic, repellant or devoid of empathy. Or make choices they know are inevitably bound to damage the lives of those who are closely connected to them.
People like this are distinct from advocates of misogynistic gender identity ideology, whose primary motivation appears to be their hatred of women, and the desire they to oppress and degrade women. They don't share the experience of those who are affected by dysmorphia, but they are exploiting it and them. I would include in this young people in particular who are being aggressively encouraged to believe they have this condition.
Something I've thought about: could part of "trans"'s appeal be that, if your 14-year-old son is caught wanking in his sister's/mother's underwear, you can tell yourself that he's "really a girl" rather than a pervert? And it's a cause for celebration instead of distress (not to mention, for the female members of the family, fear)?
I'm worried about being doxxed and then mobbed on my drive by pisskriegers (like a blitzkrieg but with bottles of wee; call me a weakling but I just don't fancy it).
Let's all make a pledge to get on when Graham's re-instated! Izzard in the UK and Mulvaney in the US are proving the superficial, self-involved, calculated for $$$ and attention in the public "transition" business.
But, for relief, visit Lime Soda Films YT channel to see the inspiring trailer for Vaishnavi Sundar's documentary Behind the Looking Glass (trans widows speak out and tell their stories, throwing off the Stasi-like suppression) Ute's voice: "I'm 65."
Someone on one of Meghan Murthy’s podcasts said small groups of extremists grab power all the time by capturing institutions and punishing dissenters. It kind of scared me. Anyway, thank you to Graham and everyone else putting themselves on the line.
No one voted for the stasi,outside the people that planned it. I don't think we would be here if the " no debate " or " transwomen are women " stuff had not been sneaked in and forced in as policy to our organisations.Open discussions and airing of views at all levels on controversial topics before changes to legislation are useful and help set some kind of consensus that we can rub along with.
Such discussions can turn up solutions to flagged up problems.
gender cult media will join the bandwagon of twitter/musks bad press caused by anxiety over if trump will be allowed back on twitter. musk's twitter will get dragged in the press painted as extremist and half the US will think it justified until either trump loses the primary or says hes not running. but since most think trump will run this issue will dog musk/twitter for years. will it matter? TBD. just another case of the cult riding the coattails of another issue and force teaming with another group
gee, already i've noticed about 5000 news articles dragging musk + twitter. one was a radio news item about anti-semetic fwy signs. it had literially nothing to do with musk or twitter. but they mentioned them for good measure. the news item was about kooks who hung up a sign that simply said kanye was right. took me quite a long time to figure out what this was about. seems musk is now to blame for all bad things on the planet and also things that arent bad but could be bad or were once bad but are no longer bad but some still think are bad
If you don't mind, I'm stealing that Rachel Dolezal line to describe Vermont's Outright Vermont executive director, Dana Kaplan. He's* the gender version here.
I read somewhere that Elon Musk described "Gender" as a "brain worm". I definitely did read this. But googling "Elon Musk "gender is brain worm" comes up with nothing, of course. I used DuckDuckGo with same result. Umm... !
Just curious...what is your motivation to become politically active? Why make yourself a target? You are trying to get mankind to Mars and alert the public to the danger of AI. Why sabotage these worthwhile goals by wading into political controversy? Is it worth it?

Interesting that Elon's own son is a victim of the trans cult. I think he feels more passion for this debate as a result.
Do you mean he has a trans son? I didn't know that.
A son who now says he is a woman, yes. And wants nothing more to do with Musk. So, yes, I am thinking Elon Musk's son may may Elon more GC than many elites.
Thanks. It's strange that I wasn't aware of that, I have read about him. His own experience will have made a huge impact, particularly as he and his child have become estranged.
Yes, thanks! The comment sections of GC newsletters is much better than the corporate media in the U.S.A. Very informative and helpful. ☮️❤️🐾

Never underestimate the determination of a pervert

Great news for AGPs & rapists.
Appalling news for females.
They are relentless.

I wonder, (in a very broad way) dysphoria has 2 contributory elements - dependent upon the core sex?
Females - it's a rejection of the female body & femininity
Males - it's the desire for a female body, female sexuality & femininity
I'm sorry, but I don't understand "core sex"? I think you mean simply "dependent upon the person's sex"?
Broadly, yes, I agree with you.

Agreed - excuse my crap usage of language.
And yeah, I think Blanchard is definitely on to something.
As for Queer Theory - that's a disruptive political movement, attempting to destabilise language & reality.

That's a great point and sort of adjacent to the classic;
my son isn't gay, he's actually a girl.
For some, there could be a wish that their kid IS Trans, rather than face reality & having to deal with it.
And as you say, that could be, "fear".
Could also be, shame & in some cases, homophobia.
Lots of the TRAs do dress up as who they're surveilling - women.
another brilliant comment!
Is tonight the live Mess We're In event with an audience?
Monday 31st Hallowe'en special.
For a moment I thought you were claiming that Twitter was East Germany trying to wing their "women's" swim team into the Olympics.
Yes, I'm old. I'll show myself out.
I'm thinking of going back on Twitter. Simply to speak up.
I'm thinking of going on Twitter to make gender critical jokes. 😁
I'm hoping to go back on Twitter to commit a misgendering so colossal as to blot out the sun.
I hope you commit a misgendering so colossal that it's reported in The Sun. 😄
That too!
I'm worried about being doxxed and then mobbed on my drive by pisskriegers (like a blitzkrieg but with bottles of wee; call me a weakling but I just don't fancy it).
Not even joking but when I read 'call me a weakling but I just don't fancy it', I pictured India Willoughby. 😄
😄🤮
I know what you mean. It would be so much better if the police were not cultists.

Be careful what you wish for with Musk. He will be empowering Trump and misinformation galore if he empowers Trump.

I find this post to be a bit out-of-date (just a bit!). Time to move into the twenty-first century and realize who is censoring us.
I do hope so... but I know many people who really do believe they're on the right side of history ... #be kind... so, its complicated.
