Hi Dennis! Thank you so much for everything you do to fight the surreal and dangerous fake "civil rights movement" that is queer theory and gender identity ideology. I'm in the US, and I've assumed from the beginning that it will take gay men standing up and loudly rejecting this nonsense for any real progress to be made, as no one cares what women think about it. Well, they *care* but only insofar as they can respond violently. It's been horrifying how brainwashed people are over this, completely unable to recognize how their unquestioning support, fake compliments, and praise is enabling harrowing abuse and profound narcissism.

I found a page several years ago that I wasn't sure was real, but at this point, I'm pretty sure it is. I'm sorry that I don't have any more information about where it came from besides the fact I got the link from one of the now defunct gender critical subreddits. It lays out what can fairly be called infiltration and terror tactics to be used against non compliant women. Reddit being the misogynistic hell hole it is, I wouldn't be in the least surprised to find out that it played a central part in the takeover of women's... everything, I guess:

this link explains so much about the activists approach, I hadn't understood before why TW were even showing up in Canadian Endometriosis support groups.. demanding that they aren't isolated by the conversation, --.. feelings hurt by the women talking about experiences they could never have (deranged & high level narcissistic).. - it's pure tactics to leave women with no group where they can talk without the presence of this trans-demands tribe (ie: I won't call it 'rights'), and prioritising their 'feelings'. I'd read that fact about the endometriosis support groups before I'd hit peak trans. So many people have to wake up and stop being bullied into 'being kind'.

Yep, I agree. For a while I saw that same nonsense all over FB, for instance. All the women’s groups were full of men, regardless of whether they were even capable of relating. Anyone that objected was banned. So stupid. It’s the same when men in dresses claim they’re “on their period” etc. Utter nonsense, but they’re DARING any woman to tell them so.

I reported the page to the FBI. I know a few others did as well, both in theUSA and UK.

The kids are already taking the piss out of this. Depends which TikTok silo they are in. A middle school student greeted me on Friday with "how do non binary samurais kill their enemies? They slash them"

taking up the point of 'what to say to kids' to prepare them for whatever's being pushed at them in school (& it is, I have a 12 & 14 year old (daughters)). I keep it as light as possible but am on high alert.. when we see the endless 'be kind' slogans on girls clothes we take the piss out of it, and note that's always directed at girls. We talk about the old idea of tom boys, & boys that prefer girls as friends (etc).. being around for ever, and none of it needs new labels, because everyone's unique anyway.. & I repeat ' avoid labels'. My 12 year old has a 'non-binary' friend, and recently my daughter challenged me that I was transphobic because I won't use her friend's pronouns. I explain that I won't change my language, because she's not more than one person, but that doesn't mean I don't like her. For now I'm just managing it like this.. but very watchful. Ultimately I will have to go into detail on the harm, but will hopefully be able to buy some time before they hear the worst of it. Alongside the gender identity nonsense kids are being coached (in schools) about switching off their gut-reaction (ie: the 'be kind' endlessly). Very dangerous.

I have to say I'm lost in admiration for parents dealing with this as you are, I fear I wouldn't have the patience for it

Dennis, isn't it better though for us in the reality based community if the court returns with extensive points we can use, rather than just stating Mermaids has no standing?

Well perhaps except it opens up more avenues of appeal was Counsel for the CC's argument - it's a very interesting point of law and I have some sympathy with his argument

This has been so excellent that I’ll spread it far and wide. I’m a Barry fan so I wasn’t surprised how good he is but the dynamics of the three of you was really good. Thank you.

My Granddaughter had a trans lesson and the only way the inclusive arguments could have been countered, were if the children were exposed to inappropriate things, like rape, sexual assault, miscarriage , AGPs porn. She is 11. Although well inoculated against this ideology I will not be having the porn / rape conversation with her. If someone did in that class they would be deemed the villain.

It could be countered in age appropriate ways such as challenging and not reinforcing regressive stereotypes, so girls can climb trees, and boys can bake.

I was hoping to visit my sister in Glasgow in January. Will postpone till February as the Ministry of Tartan has sold out of the Suffragette scarf. Have ordered one - delivery late January.
