If it makes trans people or trans ideology look bad, it will be covered up.

Every day is Trans Day of Visibility. Unless one is abusing kids or women, in which case they suddenly become invisible.

JC_Collins's avatar

Every day is a Trans Day of Visibility, because none of them (visibly) pass.

Yes, it is obscuring the truth. There are still too many people in thrall to this vile ideology or who still believe that they’re being kind, too many people still trying to excuse or cover up the truth. It’s unbelievable stupidity and cowardice on their part when you consider the amount of evidence of the damage being done to young people, the depravity, the links to paedophilia, the misogyny and homophobia. As CS Lewis said “ One of the most cowardly things people can do is to shut their eyes to facts.”

You are right ! We all have to bow down to this golden calf of lies! I’m so sick of it ! How can they even sleep at night knowing they’re spouting more lies every minute ..more even that Trump? They must know they’re lying !

I have watched people in my life literally rewrite events. One day the neighbor admits that she caused a car accident; several days later she no longer takes responsibility. A man I know denied his own behavior for years and is now struggling to face to the truth.

So I don't know that they're aware they're lying. Their brains have become so accustomed to making reality suit themselves that they no longer know what is true and what is false.

I “see them”all right. But why would I celebrate people with either mental health problems or fetishes? Bunch of sick bastards. Are the children being protected or not? 8 adults and 4 children in a tiny flat. Something was going down. There must be some very high up trans identifying males in Boston who are controlling the narrative. The power they have is chilling.

Susan Siens's avatar

I don't know if the higher-ups identify as trans, but I'll bet you anything they're pedos.

Elizabeth's avatar

Why on earth are they protecting these people? Would they let their children within a mile of them? Jeez. I despair.

OpEd's avatar

I’m in the US. So, why am I hearing about this from an independent, unaffiliated actor-turned-journalist in the UK? Unbelievable. We are so fucked.

MsGabriel's avatar

Then if you're not a journalist, congratulations on doing journalism so well that I thought you must be one.

OpEd's avatar

Writer-turned-journalist...sorry!!!

Nemo's avatar

I'm none of the above, OpEd! I write for Graham's site but I'm certainly not a journalist. My actual profession is quite different.

Fraserreal's avatar

You cannot 'teach' good journalism. It comes from within. It requires willpower and a strong moral compass. Thank you JL.

Nemo's avatar

That's a lovely compliment. Thank you, Fraserreal! 😘

Petal's avatar

It’s becoming clearer that few actually have a moral compass

OpEd's avatar

My mistake. I'd say you may not be a journalist-journalist, but you're definitely a journalist LOL! Thank you so much for your valuable work!

Nemo's avatar

Thank you, OpEd. Your kind words are much appreciated! x

Dulle Griet's avatar

I often think, JL, that any quality paper worth its salt would be proud to have you.

Nemo's avatar

Goodness me! Thank you so much, Dulle. That's a lovely thing to say. Much appreciated! 😘 xx

Elizabeth's avatar

Whatever your actual profession is, we are lucky to have you.

Nemo's avatar

Thank you so much, Elizabeth! That's a lovely compliment! 😘 xxx

Wow! I am in the Boston area and read this story when it broke and had NO idea about the underlying details. Thank you for uncovering and sharing.

Nemo's avatar

Thank you for your kind words. I've only tried to piece together what the various news outlets etc are reporting. I have no idea what the real truth of the situation is. Only that it's obvious someone seems determined to cover it up.

DareToBeTruthful's avatar

The story seemed odd to me when it was first reported. Something was off.

Gerda Ho's avatar

It reeks of cover up! Lying seems to be their forte!

Suzanne H's avatar

This lying, and that's what it is, is horrendous. People with responsibility to ALL members of their community ignoring dangers to some for the benefit of people given to depraved behavious. Unspeakable,

David Williams's avatar

Sounds like Boston and Massachusetts for sure. Wrestling over "the story" is usually more important here than knowing what actually happened. Image is everything for these new Puritans.

Emily Weir's avatar

Wasn't that long ago that it was the Catholic church there covering up child abuse by its high-ups. Now it looks like they've got a new religion with men in dresses being above criticism and leaning on the local politicians.

Suzanne H's avatar

Mentioning Massachusetts makes me think of the seventeenth-century witch-trials. People in thrall to something completely imaginary...like gender theory in the present.

David Williams's avatar

Nearly everyone here is big into signaling how very "New-Improved-Rainbow-Unitarian-ish", how very, very "good" they are without for a moment recognizing that they're just prosperous, insulated, smug and self-satisfied posers--- and ass kissers. It's one of the very few American states that is actually stuffed to the gills with a terminally conformist Professional Managerial Class that's large enough to almost entirely obscure the dot-com tech + old money billionaires and their fellow behinds-it-all if-there's-a-profit-in-its. --- And there is--- divide and conquer...

Susan Siens's avatar

As bad as Maine is -- and with that despicable governor and legislature, it's bad -- you make me thankful I live here and not in Mass.

You don't file a 51A without cause.

I noticed the cover-up (from Police or Mayor) said something like- 'all of the children, were with a parent...' so, if your Dad cross dresses, plays with sex toys and takes drugs- with a group of similar men in drag- then that's OK childcare is it..!?!

Harry Ceramicist's avatar

"Hey Junior, how was play group today?" "Well Mom, there was the dressing up box, and toys... and that was just the dads. But one Dad had too much to eat and drink, and he died... Then the fire brigade came and got us out of the back bedrooom we were kept in- but then the police came and told the fire department not to tell anybody else what had happened..."

Saturnine's avatar

Those things that never happen......🤔. It’s so obviously a debauched ideology. All the people who try to cover this up are complicit and of course they don’t want the truth to come out. They don’t want to admit they’re celebrating paedophiles and fetishists. Wake up people!! 🤬

Fraserreal's avatar

And just where is that 'transman' school shooter's manifesto? Bloody media cover up after cover up, deliberately leaving the public in the dark, deliberately spreading rainbow sparkly lie after lie after lie. Such an oppressed ideology. They're only constantly pulling the deceptive misinformation strings from on high, and have done so for years now.

Jayne Henderson's avatar

Did you mean "oppressIVE ideology"?

Ute Heggen's avatar

The press must be following the demands of the document on the webpage set up to influence reporting exactly on an incident like this. The Trans Journalist Style Guide tells writers not to report crimes by crossdressing men (my words, not theirs) and also demands that we trans widows are silenced. I'm putting a call out for trans widows to send me their answers to a 20 question survey. Dr. Jordan Peterson has seen the questions and has offered to tweet them out. I'm permanently banned from twitter so others have to carry this message for me. The issue of drugs being a part of the crossdressing/drag scene is so tightly connected to that world that some of the "queens" put snorting (cocaine) movements into their "choreography." Let's hope this will be reported accurately by some intrepid journalist.

Jayne Henderson's avatar

Where is that Trans Journalist Style Guide you refer to? Is that for one of the Boston papers?

Helen McG's avatar

Hopefully people can keep probing this until the truth comes out.

Gerda Ho's avatar

It sounds like Boston needs a new mayor.

David Williams's avatar

She's been kind of a car wreck.

Jeremy Wickins's avatar

I know I keep saying it, but lies are all they have. It's even more imperative for trans ideologues that lies are a central part of what they say because, unlike like e.g. the Church, there are no good works with which to offset the bad. Its another aspect of the whole thing that points to this being a top-down, not grassroots, movement.

What are the bets that the BFD officer and his crews are going to be under great pressure to "set the record straight"?

Tenaciously Terfin's avatar

Not only are lies all they have, we are expected to participate in the lies in order for the whole charade to work. As soon as we say no, their whole ideology collapses. It’s frustrating to realise that all it would take, is for everyone to say no.

Gerda Ho's avatar

It might take more than exposing the lies... everyone knows they’re lies .. but when you have millions or billions backing up those lies , capturing government , education and the media, not to

Mention powerful commercial, medical , and pharmaceutical corporations , it takes more than “ a village”!

Susan Siens's avatar

Repeat the lies often enough and people will then repeat the lies. So many people I've come in contact with in my life just repeat something they heard, be it secondhand or eightieth-hand.

“We will do whatever it takes to protect our children in the city. But that also means not fuelling conspiracy theories ...”

I had no idea conspiracy theories were a threat to children.

Gerda Ho's avatar

Well,you heard it from the mayor’s mouth, didn’t you? The BFD will be forced to lie, but they should really be defended by an honest lawyer..if they can find one that isn’t bought by the trans cult.

Susan Siens's avatar

The phrase "conspiracy theory" is one of the mantras they learn at Democratic indoctrination camp. Counter any idea that opposes mainstream media with conspiracy theory.
