Rites of Passage to become authentic self!

This series looks at a project featured on the website healthtalk.org. This project interviewed twenty families who believe they have been sent a ”transgender child” and some of the youth’s who identify as transgender. This series will look at the young people. I have done a series on the parents. All linked in this thread: 👇

The research is funded by Oxford University, among others, and is a collaboration with Mermaids. Many prominent trans lobbyists were involved, including Katie Montgomery.

Cal Horton is also involved; a non-binary parent with a ”trans child” and someone I covered in another series on parenting ”trans” kids. You can read that series here: 👇

Gender Diverse Youth. Part 1

I am indebted to YouTuber, Exulansic, for crystallising my thoughts on the quasi-religious nature of the ”trans cult”. This section will cover the ritualistic nature of trans rites of passage. Smashing the gender binary turns out to involve a lot of performative behaviour associated with masculine and feminine sex stereotypes. Becoming your ”authentic self” also turns out to be quite a hazardous process for your health. The acceptance if the pain of these ”rites” is akin to the self-flagellation of religious penitents.

A female journey to “authentic self”

Here are some females talking about their ”trans-masculine” rites. First up we have Bee who is challenging the gender binary by appropriating ”masculinity” and then subverting expectations by being a female who presents feminine, if she wants to. There’s a teen vibe to Bee’s pronouncements.

Clothes have played a significant role in many youth subcultures since we invented the teenage demographic to fuel consumerism. Signalling membership of a group plays an important role in finding your tribe.

While writing this I took a detour to read a paper, by Friends of The Earth, which had many insightful thoughts on consumerism and identity formation. Transgenderism has been driven by a relentless mass marketing campaign and is a profit-making endeavour. The bodies of our young are the ”product” as they carve sex stereotypes into, and out of, their own flesh.

Another pertinent observation is the role played by social imitation, groupthink and peer pressure. Things can become a social norm “regardless of rationality”.

Breast Binding

Which takes me onto the subject of breast binding. Many of these women have adopted the practice and here are some of their observations. Patrick is performing the Holy Trinity: Hair cut ✅. New Wardrobe ✅ and breast constriction ✅.

Patrick describes this practice as “freeing” but also deeply uncomfortable. Self-flagellation reboot for the gender cult:

Jack reports the ”euphoria” on binding for the first time, a gender cult word for religious ecstasy:

Further exploration reveals some downsides but also neatly encapsulates the treadmill Jack has put herself on. Binding is painful but a double mastectomy will sort that out. 🤔

Some reported even more horrific experiences with breast constriction:

This is self-harm on a grand scale, yet we are valourising these girls as if the western world has morphed into a pro-ana movement. Here’s the list of side-effects from recent research.

So liberating! Here one participant explains that she cannot go anywhere without her binder. Even when nobody can see her, she must wear a binder.

The attention-seeking aspect is nicely illustrated by Loges. 👇. More tattoos piercings and a prosthetic penis because it’s better than passing unnoticed.

From prosthetic penis to standing to pee.

Another trans rite is the vertical urination ceremony. An article actually demanded men sit down to pee in solidarity with ”transmen”.

Here a trans-identifying female explains how it triggers their dysphoria seeing her male friends having a piss.

Asking men to change their behaviour, to avoid triggering dysphoric females, was never going to fly. Never mind somebody found a way to make it pay! You can sell prosthetic penises with a built in device so appropriate “himage” can be paid at the Urinal.

Male journeys to authentic self.

G also mixing it up. We met him earlier when he came to the realisation that his last relationship wasn’t a heterosexual relationship at all, because he is no longer a “cis” male. His journey is mainly about fashion, socialising and copying styles.

Male authenticity also centres the hair, long hair for a girl, make-up, prosthetic breasts or hormonal induced gynecomastia. What was missing was the practice of ”tucking” which is, I am told, fraught with health complications for men. There are lots of shopping trips, cos the Ladies love to shop, don’t they. 🙄. Then there are tears of joy in euphoric phases but tears of sadness when ”girl” clothes don’t fit. There is a long section on training to feminise the voice which seems like a lot of work. There is also a lot of self-loathing oozing from these stories. In my uncharitable moments I echo the sentiments of this cartoon.

All in all the male section can be summed up by this image and the word ”narcissism”.

Parents of ”trans kids”

Prepare yourself for endless navel-gazing, narcissism and some genuinely sad triggers for embarking on a medical pathway.

First up is Bee, who identifies as non-binary to escape the reality of sexual dimorphism, oops, I mean the “violent systems of kind of binary sex and gender …built by white supremacist patriarchal society”.

Many of the narratives are filled with the usual, adolescent, tales of not fitting in and the miraculous discovery of transgender narratives. These kids have fallen for a mass marketing campaign designed to appeal to vulnerable children / teens who don’t fit in.

One participant is relieved to find out he is not just a “weird” kid. Other participants had assumed they were gay but felt ill at ease as a ”flamboyant, feminine boy” . Could that have something to do with Grindr profiles specifying ”straight acting”? Does the gay community have a problem with gay men who are not ”macho”?

Others talk about adopting a ”trans” identity after a period of depression and mental illness. Tori came out as ”trans” after a vicious, homophobic attack.

Tori was also a flamboyant gay male until he was attacked and set on fire in what sounds like a gruesome experience. He recounts a tale from his childhood where he fervently wished he was a girl and, while he was accepted as a “effeminate” gay male, something still didn’t feel right. Now he knows there is another way to be. That would be the advertising campaign.

We seem to have created a world where flamboyant gay males are not flourishing. Males like Boy George and Marilyn rocked a vibe that challenged social norms for the male sex. They were not in flight from their sex and sexuality.

This is not progressive. It is the opposite of self-acceptance. It is no coincidence only one of these “identities” garners any profits for the gender medico-industrial complex.

Some of the other narratives seem like a desire to be “edgy” and not be a boring old male.

G gets to the heart of the matter. He found being male ”boring”. He didnt like the ”aesthetics” of masculinity. He also throws in the fact that he had been in a heterosexual relationship as a ”cis” man. There is no spot more lowly in the Gender Olympics than a ”cis, white,heterosexual, man”.

Some came to identify as ”trans” in response to the marketing on YouTube or movies or they identified with character’s in books. Once you become attuned to the trans-product placement you will see we are in the middle of a mass media campaign; the aim is to normalise a medically dependent existence. It is working. It is not just boring het males or flamboyant gays who are seduced by this propaganda. Eel👇 realises she is not just a Lesbian after reading a book by a “trans-man”. Summer identifies with Lili-Elbe from the film The Danish Girl.

Summer identifed as a feminist at University and decided the way to burnish his credentials was by ”living as a woman” , whatever that means. He decided to ”siphon” off the feminine as if he had found a tank of feminine essence. Interestingly, there is currently a lot of outrage about “black-fishing” where basic white girls darken their skin tone and mimic black hair and speech patterns. Often they perpetuate outrageous, negative stereotypes and their performances are parodic. How is this any different?

CJ Found ”queer theory” and trans-masculine YouTuber influences cemented (sold) her a trans identity.

Some of the sales pitch happened at social meet-ups hosted by Trans Lobby groups. 👇

In case it isn’t clear this is a mass recruitment drive. Gay males and Lesbians are especially vulnerable because homophobia has not disappeared and many of them are non-conformist, in terms of adherence to sex sterotypes. Some of the cheerleaders for this are gay males. {Crispin Blunt, Michael Cashman, Owen Jones and John Stryker of Arcus Foundation} and Lesbians {Ruth Hunt & Nancy Kelley of Stonewall, Linda Riley of Diva Magazine and Judith Butler, Queen of Queer Theory}. Did the Gay rights movement lay the seeds of their own destruction by allowing themselves to be force teamed with the T? What motivates these older homosexuals to betray their siblings?

Gender Diverse Youth. Part 1

I could say harsh words after wading my way through the cultish ramblings and internecine squabbling between the trans toddlers. However, onward I go, channelling my inner Sarah Stuart and wishing I had the biting wit of Ms Burchill.

The first thing to note is that spinning detransition as a ”diverse” journey is an attempt to co-opt their experience, of regret, as part of the full spectrum of ”gender journey’s”. It’s a public relations exercise and it illustrates just how prominent detransitioners experiences have become. This is the gender charlatans attempt at damage limitation.

There is also a retreat from the discredited framing of #BornInTheWrongBody so beloved of Mermaids.

Now we are encouraged to celebrate a multiplicity of ”trans-narratives” with the unintended (intended?) consequence that the trans umbrella needs to expand. In this way “transgender” Lobby groups seek to turn a lost battle into a victory. One contributor even pins the blame for this fixation on one trans-narrative on ”cis–people”; because we are not able to fathom multiple reasons for a trans-identity. Nope. We know being gay, autistic, childhood sexual abuse, being in foster care all make people susceptible to gender theism. Not to mention our old friends transvestic fetishism and autogynephilia; sexual paraphilias.

Another bit of stalinist bit of revisionism recurs with participants complaining they are expected to perform ”transness” and adhere to binary narratives to get access to treatments. Treatments which, by the way, tend to be female sex hormones for males and testosterone for females. Why, it’s almost as if the ”treatments” are based on the fact we are a sexually dimorphic species.

Here Ari complains about being held to a standard narrative by their skeptical parents:

Ezio complains that her mum expects her to want to use the men’s toilets but the women’s are nicer. 😳. Of course they fucking are! Because we don’t let men in them!

Shash has a bitch about ”trans-medicalists” who dictate what zie can do as a trans-man. Then a non-binary person (Eel) airs some feelings about schism’s and drama in the trans church. One ”transman” is accused of being practically a “terf”.

Eel is, she tells us, a very feminine guy but she hates her body and wants surgery. She complains of toxicity, from within the trans community, directed at anyone not regarded as ”trans” enough.

Seems as if there is a universal need in the trans community to construct an inverted hierarchy of most oppressed.

Here a speaker says they have never heard of anyone ever having regretted surgery and likens this to their tatoos which they have never regretted.

Others complain that ”cis” people try to force trans people into modelling a binary version of being trans and that the media sets impossible standards by showcasing ”passing” trans people. Another “trans man” who is Asian complains there is not enough acceptance of “feminine” trans men because ”racism”. Confused yet?

So, in summary. Nobody is born in the wrong body anymore. It’s ”cis” people who are obsessed with a standard ”trans-narrative” except for some “trans-medicalists” who don’t validate ”non-binary” people. Detransition is all part of a gender journey and nobody regrets surgery.

Part 1. Who funds the research?

This series will look at a project featured on the website healthtalk.org. This project interviewed twenty families who believe they have been sent a ”transgender child” and some of the youth’s who identify as transgender. This series will look at the young people. I have done a series on the parents. All linked in this thread:

Parents of “transgender” children.

Health Talks is run by a charity called Dipex.

The Chair of the trustees is a Professor of Medical Education. One of the other trustees is a Professor of Medical Sociology at University College London.

I have looked at the annual report and the accounts of associated companies. .There’s not much to share. They do say they have sister organisations elsewhere in Europe and the United States. I will research further if I track these down.

The research, I am looking at was funded by the National Institute for Health Research, Nuffield Institute and the University of Oxford.

The people involved in the research project reads like a who’s who of Gender Identity Ideologues. Those of you who are not neophytes will know what to expect when I list the people credited on the website. Listed first is Lui Asquith of Mermaids a charity for ”transgender” children. Representatives of other “transgender” charities also appear. Jay Stewart from Gendered Intelligence, the Reeds from GIRES, a representative of the Proud Trust also appear. No list would be complete without a Stonewall representative and there is also someone from the Tavistock gender Clinic. Ruth Pearce is an academic and former colleague of Sally Hines, who has written a book on ”Trans Health” and is a trans-identified male.

Cal Horton is the researcher who also looked into this area; a non-binary parent with a ”trans child” and someone I covered in my series on the work Cal has published, on the same topic. (Quite possibly based on the same parents). You can read that series here:

Parents of ”trans kids”

Suffice to say, there were no skeptical voices involved in the research project.

As if that wasn’t bad enough they also sought input from one of the most misogynist trans-activists!

More to follow when I start to cover the detail. It is worse than I anticipated.
