When irreversible surgical procedures requiring heavy opioids like Oxycodone, nerve-pain medications like Gabapentin, and months of immobilization are routinely promoted as casual "gender-affirming care," it exposes a massive medical accountability gap.
Listening to someone describe weeks of excruciating, "mentally traumatizing" nerve shocks—lasting up to 10 seconds at a time and potentially over a year—alongside lifelong dilation routines highlights the severe physical toll the medical establishment routinely downplays. True informed consent requires honest transparency about the profound, permanent trauma inflicted on a healthy body.

Trans people should be angry at the people who have lied to them and told them that they can actually change sex instead of the women who are simply defending their own rights

This is an interesting question which exposes the contradiction between the definitions of sexual orientation and transgender identity in the #ConversionBill.
🧵 Sexual orientation has a biological sex definition in the Bill, because it’s imported directly from the Equality Act>

Everything and anything that is ‘female only’ is now apparently ‘transphobic’.
Just think about the impact of that for a minute.
Trans terrorists have decided that women aren’t allowed anything without men.
Not socially, not in the workplace, not trauma related, not health related. Nothing.

Labour peer Baroness Hayter is bang on here, siblings can be criminalised under the conversion bill, and given the age of criminal responsibility is 10 that is frankly terrifying when we have “Stonewall Champion” type schools
Replying to @SexMattersOrg
Baroness @HayteratLords said “Whilst no-one supports any mental or physical abuse on a child or young person exploring their sexuality, a bill which could criminalise parents, siblings, therapists or churches for normal discussions and guidance would be dangerous and undesirable.
“There may never be an actual prosecution, but the threat of that or even reporting to the police would have a chilling effect on the most ordinary or loving conversations.”

95% of Scottish secondary schools allow gender self-ID. Only 4% inform parents.
This is the SNP’s TQ+ “inclusive” education curriculum working exactly as designed.
Teachers facilitating transition of children without parental knowledge or consent isn’t safeguarding. It's grooming.

I went on 'reclaim the night' marches in the 80s & 90s. Women chanted & sang in peaceful solidarity, with just a couple of police around. Now, 'queer' activists attack the protest because they dare to make it women-only. Gender ideology is an aggressive, misogynistic cult
#ReclaimTheNightNottingham
Police had to escort us through the city. The streets of Nottingham are not safe for women in 2026
The words "female-only" are met with violence, intimidation and harassment
But we stayed strong and finished our march
Power to the women ♀️💜💚🤍

Kein Arzt auf dieser Erde kann ein Geschlecht ändern. Er kann es nur simulieren.
Warum wir heute gesunde junge Körper zurechtschneiden, damit sie in alte Klischees passen - und es "Fortschritt" nennen.
Man verkauft uns den aktuellen Trans-Boom als grosse Befreiung von alten Zwängen.
Ich habe diesen Weg über drei Jahrzehnte lang selbst gelebt - von den ersten Hormonen 1995 und der grossen Operation 1998 bis zu meinem Entschluss zur Detransition im Spätsommer vor zwei Jahren. Doch wer glaubt, man könne einfach aufwachen und alles sei wieder gut, der täuscht sich gewaltig.
Im Alltag lebe ich heute zwar endlich wieder authentisch als der Mann, der ich immer war. Aber körperlich gibt es kein vollständiges Zurück. Ein so tiefgreifend operierter Körper kann keine eigenen Hormone mehr bilden. Nach über 30 Jahren künstlicher Hormone stecke ich heute in einer extrem heiklen hormonellen Umstellung - und bleibe mein Leben lang Patient und Abnehmer der Pharmaindustrie. Ich lebe mit körperlichen Formen und Folgen, die für immer irreversibel sind. Man zieht diese Rolle nicht einfach wieder aus. Man bezahlt den Preis ein Leben lang.
Gerade weil ich diesen Preis am eigenen Leib kenne, blicke ich mit grosser Sorge auf die heutige Entwicklung. Natürlich gibt es diese Gruppe von Menschen, die seit frühester Kindheit das tiefe Gefühl in sich tragen, sich ihrem biologischen Körper nicht zugehörig zu fühlen, und sich im Erwachsenenalter bewusst für diesen Schritt entscheiden. Deren Lebensrealität spreche ich nicht ab.
Aber der heutige riesige Boom bei Kindern und Jugendlichen hat damit fast nichts mehr zu tun. Durch soziale Medien, Freundeskreise und den Zeitgeist wird ein Weg als schnelle Lösung verkauft, der für die allermeisten in eine Sackgasse führt. Das ist kein Fortschritt, sondern ein Rückschritt in die engsten Geschlechter-Klischees, die wir längst hinter uns lassen wollten.
Über Jahrzehnte sind wir als Gesellschaft eigentlich immer freier geworden, was die Rollen von "Mann" und "Frau" angeht. Ein Junge durfte sanft sein, weinen oder aus der Reihe tanzen - und war trotzdem ein richtiger Junge. Ein Mädchen durfte kurze Haare tragen, wild sein und Kleider hassen - und war trotzdem ein richtiges Mädchen.
Heute sind die Schubladen wieder enger als je zuvor. Wenn heute ein Junge sanft ist oder ein Mädchen sich in der Pubertät im eigenen Körper fremd fühlt, sagen wir ihnen viel zu oft nicht mehr: "Du bist völlig okay, genau so, wie du bist." Wir pflanzen ihnen den Gedanken ein: "Vielleicht steckst du im falschen Körper!"
Weil ich mir der Tragweite dieser Entwicklung bewusst bin, erfüllt mich das mit grosser Sorge. Statt die engen Klischees in unseren Köpfen aufzulösen, schneiden wir lieber die gesunden Körper junger Menschen zurecht, damit sie wieder in alte Schablonen passen. Das ist nicht modern. Es zeigt nur, wie sehr wir verlernt haben, junge Menschen in ihrem "Anderssein" einfach anzunehmen.
Dazu kommt eine Wahrheit, die man jungen Menschen oft verschweigt. Man nennt das Ganze verharmlosend "Geschlechtsangleichung". Doch sprechen wir es nüchtern aus: Kein Arzt auf dieser Erde kann das Geschlecht eines Menschen ändern.
Jede einzelne Zelle meines Körpers war in all diesen Jahrzehnten männlich. Ich bin durch Operationen und Tabletten nie zur Frau geworden - ich habe 30 Jahre lang jeden Tag gegen meinen biologischen, männlichen Körper angekämpft, um nach aussen eine weibliche Hülle aufrechtzuerhalten. Medizin kann ein Geschlecht nicht wechseln. Sie kann es körperlich nur simulieren. Wenn die tiefere Ursache in Wahrheit ein seelischer Schmerz ist, opfert man einen gesunden Körper für eine Illusion, deren Folgen man nie wieder abstreifen kann.
Bei mir war es nie der falsche Körper. Ich war damals einfach ein junger, verletzlicher Mensch mit seelischen Wunden, der nicht wusste, wohin mit seinem Schmerz. Ich gebe dafür niemandem die Schuld und trage die volle Verantwortung für meinen Weg. Ich steckte damals in einem solchen Tunnelblick, dass ich mir diese vermeintliche Lösung selbst erzwingen wollte und gar nicht bereit war, wirklich hinzuschauen.
Doch genau weil ich diesen blinden Tunnelblick - und den hohen Preis danach - von innen kenne, weiss ich heute: Ich brauchte damals kein Skalpell und keinen neuen Namen. Was ich, und was die meisten jungen Menschen heute in Wahrheit gebraucht hätten, ist die Erkenntnis: "Du bist liebenswert, genau so, wie du bist. Du musst dich nicht ändern und nicht "abschaffen", um geliebt zu werden. Du darfst ein sensibler, suchender, zweifelnder Mensch sein - und bist genau richtig so."
Wenn wir unsere Jugend schützen wollen, müssen wir wieder genau hinschauen, statt jede Flucht vor sich selbst blind als "Mut" zu beklatschen.
Fortschritt heisst nicht, gesunde Organe wegzuschneiden, weil jemand nicht ins Raster passt. Echter Fortschritt heisst, jungen Menschen zu helfen, in ihrer eigenen, unverletzten Haut ein Zuhause zu finden.
Bevor sie einen Preis bezahlen, den kein Mensch mehr rückgängig machen kann. 🙏

Powerful men such as Jolyon Maugham used the law to try and intimidate the lesbian led LGB Alliance and strip it of its charitable status. Have you forgotten Jolyon? Would you like to fund a case against yourself?
Powerful men use the law to intimidate women they’ve abused into silence.
But it’s time to flip the fear. Help us to fund cases that turn the tables on these men, empower women to speak out – and get justice:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jolyon Maugham, the director of the GLP, has a history of harassing women that campaign for sex based rights.
This includes Sarah Phillimore who has had to take legal action against him. crowdjustice.com/case/protectio…

As the world emerges from the chaos wrought by the trans movement, the monstrous incongruity between what well-meaning people thought they were supporting and the reality of what has occurred is becoming clear.
Every day, more people wake up to the fact that trans rights was never an ordinary civil rights cause. It was never about equal rights or an end to the discrimination of a long-marginalized group.
It was a total rewrite of reality—a movement intent on bending the world around the false belief held by a tiny number of people who didn’t recognise themselves as mentally ill.
What was sold as medically necessary, life-saving care has turned out to be an atrocious medical crime committed by true believers blind to the brutality of the procedures they perform.
And what the unsuspecting masses thought was a progressive quest for equal rights has instead resulted in the obliteration of women’s rights, the suppression of scientific scrutiny, the erosion of free speech, and the dismantling of child safeguarding.
Read my latest essay in @genspect’s REPATH series on the madness of how we got here.

I’m going to chime in on the conversation about ugliness and degeneracy in art. The relentless nihilism and puerile fascinations in contemporary art keep sending the same message: give up, there’s no beauty, nothing to live for. I find it deeply depressing.
We seem to be elevating artists who lack the talent to achieve transcendence. Unable to produce or understand it, their work becomes a resentful rejection: “If I can’t have it, then nobody can.”
I’m tired of these mediocre deviants sucking up all the oxygen in our culture. It’s everywhere and utterly mundane. It lacks the excitement of breaking taboos because it doesn’t; it plays to permissible, even approved ideas. None of it is new, and it certainly isn’t dangerous anymore. It pays to be unoriginal and unable to access the talent that comes with ability to focus, critical thinking and sensitivity to beauty.
I know this because I lived with Simon Henwood, an artist who doggedly pursued transcendence. Early success with his giant gouache-on-paper pictures of teenagers wasn’t enough, so he taught himself to paint with oils. The painstaking process of building layer upon layer of translucent colour creates pictures of multi-dimensional space and form that simply can’t be reproduced in print, much less with AI. You need to stand in front of the painting; you may not understand why it affects you, but it will. He found such work difficult to push into the art scene because he didn’t have a story, a why, or a cynical bone in his body. He ended up as creative director for Kanye West, then Rihanna and Alicia Keys. He should have been at home in the attic working on his paintings, but he was thrown into a world of bullshit he simply could not handle, and the stress killed him.
He was an oddball, and his favourite thing as a kid was his Golliwogs. He collected all the Robertson’s Jam gollies and had a cuddly toy which was his favourite. I still have these objects. I also have a giant and very affectionate portrait of a golly that I have to hang in a shady upstairs landing, lest it be seen by visitors. A glimpse of this oil painting on one of my Instagram reels is regularly brought up as evidence of my “fascist leanings” or whatever. Even if I didn’t like the painting (I do), what am I supposed to do with it? Destroy it? The man is dead and won’t be painting anymore.
Of course a naked white woman on her knees with bruises, blood and excrement around her arse is institutionally approved and breaks no boundaries, but Simon’s happy golly with its hand hovering over its crotch is totally taboo. Taboo still exists. It’s taboo to be Christian, to be conservative; contemporary art won’t touch a great many things for fear of cancellation. So no, I don’t buy that this is brave or interesting. I know exactly what’s unacceptable in the arts. I’ve paid my own price for believing in biological reality, another huge taboo. I’m now very much an outsider myself.
I think it’s perfectly descriptive to call these people regime artists, and the regime wants degeneracy and hopelessness. Why is another question entirely, but I doubt it has to do with art.

Stonewall has been given unprecedented access to Downing Street and helped the Labour Government draw up its “chilling” Conversion Practices Bill.
The Telegraph has revealed that the controversial charity has been supplying Downing Street with research to justify the proposed law.
Under the Bill, parents, therapists and religious leaders could face up to five years in prison for having important conversations with gender-confused children or sharing their faith’s teachings on sex, gender and marriage with their congregations.
Stonewall’s head of policy was reportedly invited to a meeting at 10 Downing Street to discuss the proposed law and made recommendations to the MPs scrutinising the Bill.
Dennis Kavanagh, director of the Gay Men’s Network and a criminal barrister, said his organisation had not been offered similar meetings. He told The Telegraph: “The level of government access afforded to Stonewall is extraordinary, particularly in view of their extreme position on gender matters and their poor track record in accurately stating the law.”
Published in June, the Bill’s impact assessment cited a Stonewall survey to argue that conversion practices were so prevalent that new legislation was needed — even though conversion practices are already illegal.

Giving people large doses of artificial cross-sex hormones and mutilating surgery IS conversion therapy.
Encouraging self-acceptance is the OPPOSITE of conversation therapy
