Sadly, we expect to report more about Arianna Laureano. Not because we want to, but because too many people are too kind to him, too nice, too trusting. He will not stop until he has entirely disrupted gender critical organizing at every level, wherever people fail to see him for what he is.

Finally, the debate over nonviolent tactics in gender critical organizing has to change. If 50 people take part in an action, and just one of them lashes out in anger, that person will always be disproportionately ‘visible’ compared to the other 49. Some people resist a commitment to nonviolence because they fear assault, but this incident highlights exactly why it exists in the first place.

Andy Ngo interview

Who wants to do a 2 hour seminar on this 2 minute news item? Too many subtexts to count.

Jaime and Lauren discuss the bizarre case (and coverage) of the TIF murdered by her in-laws, the "lesbian bar" story, and the potential for parents to get settlements for their trans-identified kids brainwashed by social media.

Being anti-child-rights seems to involve having a non-extreme, non-woke opinion on all the hot-button issues: abortion, contraception, LGBTIQ+, gender identity ideology, gay men adopting babies, sexuality education in schools, disinformation, and even your opinion on immigration. Honestly it just seems like all the usual elite lib causes with a thick layer of “child rights” speak daubed on top of it.

That’s Eurochild, and they seem nuts as per. But the thing you need to know about the UN CRC is that the original text is not bad in and of itself. However, down through the years there have been various upgrades and addenda tacked onto it thanks to lobbying by various activists and in response to events and societal shifts.

And General comment number 20, which was added in 2015/2016, is all about that gendershite.

If the CRC and General comment number 20 are called into service in judicial decisions in Ireland, it might mean that a fight over puberty blockers will no longer be between a child and their parents and doctor; a judge could decide that the evolving capacities of an adolescent, their right to health, or their right to identity has been breached.

When you’re catching up with a friend who follows women’s sports and she confidently tells you that Sophie Cunningham is a racist idiot who doesn’t care about girls and women and is making up shit for attention and publicity. Sigh. It was going nicely until then.

Enjoyed this collegial reflection on where we are in the culture post “I said what I said.”

The reality is, most gender ideologues who reinforced destructive social tactics will never change. Their behavior is primarily a mark of poor character—it just happens to be expressed through politics.

Of their 14 recommendations, the subtext of many is about granting the government greater powers to monitor and control Canadians’ speech, or to propagandize us all with “correct” views on feminism. Recommendations include “public awareness campaigns to counteract antifeminist rhetoric”; “enhancing support for Canadian media”; “regulat(ing) online platforms, including stronger moderation of harmful content”; and “provid(ing) youth with tools to navigate online spaces safely… including the capacity to recognize mis- and disinformation.” Unsurprisingly, the final recommendation is for more government funding: “That the Government of Canada make additional investments in research on antifeminist ideologies, its intersections with gender-based violence and coercive control, and its impacts, and that results from this research are made public.”

Amnesty’s little yellow candle symbolises courage in the face of injustice. I reckon it can multi-task and light the pyre beneath the reputations of the hundreds of people associated with the 51 organisations it has chosen to denounce.

Imagine you are one of our new cohort of MSPs. ScotPAG, or a member of Scot PAG, asks to meet you and, as you prepare for the meeting you discover the group has been characterised as part of an “anti-rights” movement by Amnesty UK.

What picture do you form in your mind? What assumptions are you likely to make before you’ve read a single word of our submission? Will you still meet with us? Will you be able to judge our suggestions on their merits?

There is something forming, I think, at this particular moment in history, at this particular intersection of pressure. The gays and the Jews. Two groups who have been here before — who know what it looks like when the crowd decides your existence is the problem, when your presence requires justification, when someone gets a camera in your face and demands you perform your own erasure. We have been the ones they practiced on. And we have learned, across generations and at great cost, that saying it does not make it stop. It only tells them it worked.

For those less well-versed in authoritarian speak, this means that the government decides who is “vulnerable” based on their chosen ideologies, then doesn’t allow people to criticize or speak truthfully about those ideologies.

The typical youth who presents at a gender clinic in the Western world these days, including in England, is a 14- to 16- year-old biological girl who only began exhibiting gender-related distress after puberty’s onset. PATHWAYS will only accept youths who are under age 16 when entering the study. So, given the age and sex breakdowns of youths upon their referrals to Britain’s since-shuttered gender clinic (see the chart below, from the 2024 Cass Review), that means that the bulk of the youths eligible for this new study will likely be 14- and 15-year-old natal girls.

Such youths are likely either in the final phase of puberty or are entirely finished with the developmental process. PATHWAYS, per its inclusion criteria, welcomes youths who are in any of the so-called Tanner stages of puberty, from Tanner 2 (the earliest phase) to Tanner 5 (meaning puberty is finished). So by the study authors’ own admission, they are perfectly willing to give puberty blockers to minors with no puberty to block.

Given that natal females have no physiological need to take blockers in advance of starting testosterone (for natal males, blockers can help suppress their natural testosterone production and thus supplement estrogen treatment), for these youths, starting blockers amounts to all risks with no clinical purpose.

What’s Wrong With “Queering Ecology,” Besides Everything?

I would really appreciate it if MPs who oppose the EHRC guidance could, just this once, express their opposition solely in terms of what it means for female constituents. Just say directly “you shouldn’t have this”, and “it’s wrong for you to expect that”. List everything that’s unacceptable. Name what, if anything, might be aside for the class of humans whom it is perfectly easy to define when doing a PornHub search or looking to hire a surrogate, but not so, apparently, when said humans are wanting to be left in peace. Is there any space on earth in which female humans should be able to congregate without the potential presence of male humans? And no, this isn’t about the practicalities of keeping men out. It’s about the principle – should it be permissible? Is it morally right?
