Let the Law Suits begin.
A New York jury just awarded $2 MILLION to a young woman who underwent a double mastectomy at 16 and later detransitioned. The jury found her psychologist and surgeon liable for malpractice. Her case alleged that serious mental-health issues, including depression, body dysmorphia, anorexia and autism-spectrum traits, were not adequately addressed before an irreversible procedure was performed on a minor. Now watch what happens when someone like her speaks publicly. For years we were told regret was exceedingly rare. We were told these procedures were necessary care. We were told questioning the process itself was dangerous. But when a detransitioner stands up and says, “This happened to me,” suddenly she becomes the problem. That is the epistemic tell. When evidence supports the narrative, it is celebrated. When evidence contradicts the narrative, the person carrying the evidence gets attacked. A jury heard the testimony. A jury examined the evidence. A jury found malpractice. And a jury put the damages at $2 million. You don’t protect vulnerable young people by demanding silence from the ones who came back and said, “I wish someone had slowed this down.” You protect them by listening. #AStoneGroove #SilentMajoritySpeaks

Unbelievable, @LadiesFootball transgender policy makes no mention of fair competition How can a policy governing a female sporting category leave out 1 of the most fundamental purposes of having sporting categories in the first place? I hope @officialgaa hasn't ommited it also

You absolute bastards.
A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures. The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019. A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years. Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture. The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment. Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls. "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded. Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls. The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges. The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway. How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

Replying to @CarrollJennifer
@CarrollJennifer says people are free to say what they want, promote what they want or listen to what they want in a democracy, as long as the content is lawful. Is it lawful to abuse a baby for sexual gratification? No it is not. Are groups in Ireland platforming & promoting a practice that involves the abuse of babies for male sexual gratification? Yes they are. Is the Minister obliged to state the Government’s position on child abuse? Yes she is. What does she say? “People are in this country entitled to attend things. (
) And I think I’ll leave it that”. €217.000 + a year folks. That’s what you get for your money. A PFO.

At least there’s some common sense coming out of Leinster House. Well said @sarahreilly30
AontĂș Senator Sarah O'Reilly is unafraid to defend fact, biology, women and the welfare of babies. It's very unfortunate that her colleagues in government are not free or brave enough to do similar.

First we have the ALCI pulling bios off its site, now the HSE is hiding its 2016 breastfeeding action plan. We can only presume that there’s been a male lactation agenda for quite some time. Now it’s been exposed 
. and they’re scurrying to cover their tracks. This is unacceptably underhand & dishonest behaviour from state & publicly funded bodies. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET ANSWERS FROM THE MINISTER? @CarrollJennifer @HSELive
Replying to @stellaomalley3
Also, why have links to the HSE's Breastfeeding Action Plan 2016 – 2021 and the Progress Report for 2016 to 2023 disappeared from the HSE's website, despite the fact that the latter page was only updated on 29th June? You can only access a summary of the Plan but not the plan itself or the full Progress Report. hse.ie/eng/about/who/healthw

Taxpayers’ millions are funnelled into RTÉ which in turn makes the requisite noises about balance & representation. That is until the power of Lgbqwertyism is invoked. Along come “chest feeding” men, then balance, biology & babies go out with the bathwater. RTÉ fears the wrath of the rainbow-lanyard NGO class more than it fears the obligations of the Broadcasting Act. @kevinbakhurst @rteliveline @rtenews @rte @RTERadio1 @wicklowwomen4w1
Can I tell you all that I just called @rteliveline to ask if that are covering this today and they said No and do you know why, they said it would be an attack on one individual in the @HSELive IS THIS A JOKE @rteliveline do you think one person organises this? I’m shocked!!!

The implications of this reply from the Association of Lactation Consultants are very serious. The Association has ignored the substantive issue, which is CHILD ABUSE. Instead of addressing the harm to babies of male nipple discharge & men using the bodies of newborns for sexual pleasure - the Association has moronically trotted out the trite, meaningless & morally redundant bilge that is “diversity & inclusion.” What this means is that The Magic Cloak of Trans now has the power to protect even paedophiles. If Jacob Engelsman speaks at the breastfeeding conference in Galway, it is no exaggeration to say a Rubicon will have been crossed. These are dark days indeed.
Well we received a reply from the Association of Lactation Consultants Ireland, ALCI. They must NOT have read our letter. We asked specifically about their Children First Safeguarding Assessment for Male “lactation”, as advocated by their upcoming speaker in his book. See one of his quotes below. 👇 Their reply does not even mention Male “lactation”. They seem to believe that they are covered under the Government LGBTQI+ 2024-2028 strategy. Really? FF/FG must know the answer so. Let’s ask them this question .. Does the Government LGBTQI + Strategy 2024-2028 allow Males to “breastfeed” Babies in Ireland ? @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD

đŸš©THERE IS NO P IN LGB Whether or not this event goes ahead - the fetishists who colonised women’s language, women’s spaces, & women’s sports are not going to stop until they have completely colonised women’s bodies. They are coming after us & one cancelled conference will not deter them. As predicted, the captured ALCI is digging-in to double down. The organisers are buying time with a health & safety issue that’s not the real health & safety issue - endangerment & sexual exploitation of infant babies. It is of the utmost importance now that the minister, the department & the HSE produce a policy on drug-induced male “lactation” that is rigorously & robustly backed by science - NOT ideology. The safety & well-being of mothers & babies comes first & can never be trumped by any ‘LGBT strategy’. It is abundantly clear that paedophilic lobby groups have infiltrated this space. There is no P in LGB. @CarrollJennifer @HSELive @OCallaghanJim @OCO_ireland @wicklowwomen4w1

A man named Jacob Engelsman will address a conference on breast feeding in Galway. (Engelsman is pictured below, with his forearm penetrating a large fish.) Engelsman is an activist for men who want their nipples sucked by babies for sexual gratification. Engelsman is a specialist in inducing “lactation”(chemical pus) in men with a breastfeeding fetish. His work includes ‘Inducing Lactation for Kinksters’, ‘Lactation for the Rest of Us: A Guide for Queer and Trans Parents and Helpers’ & contributions to adult kink & BDSM events. The Galway breast-feeding conference will be hosted by the HSE-funded Association of Lactation Consultants in Ireland. Do you agree with babies being used for sexual gratification? Do you agree that in funding this event, the state is condoning the sexual abuse of babies by fetishist men? Do you support this? Let them know. @HSELive @HsehealthW @CarrollJennifer @DailyMail #ChestFeeding
The creeping normalisation of behaviours that were once considered shameful continues apace. Ireland has crossed a new line though, with a national conference for lactation consultants hosting a man who specialises in helping men lactate for "curiosity, fun, or sexual gratification". If this is not the thing that wakes people up, what on earth will it be? Does it get much worse than this? Read and share: genspect.org/where-does-male

"Even if all the harmful side effects of the market could be removed...the ethical dilemma would remain: a child is still taken from its mother, the woman’s health and in some cases her life are put at risk, and a child is sold into the hands of strangers like an object."
This is an outstanding explanation of why the global industry wants to ‘regulate’ #surrogacy
and why this will never work. “Can human trafficking be made ethically acceptable?” Well worth a read, from @Birgit_Kelle đŸ‘đŸ» statement.com/1218187/poison
