Here in California, a law has been passed that has made it very difficult for law enforcement to intervene with women being sex trafficked. The law states that police cannot use how a person is dressed as justification for suspicion of prostitution. The justification, according to the sponsor, Assemblyman Weiner, is that this has led to harassment of trans women.

The comments by the doctor in the clip were chilling indeed. It makes me wonder how the objectification of women has contributed to the situation we're in. Historically, women have been the primary consumers of cosmetic surgery and exogenous hormones, so it seems like an obvious next step for the medical industry to convince moms their kids need surgery as well. And what better tool to use than threatening them with their child's suicide? This opens up a wider discussion about the way sexual objectification contributes to lowered self-esteem and body hatred which fuels the "beauty" industry. For a long time, this was targeted mainly at girls and women but the proliferation of gender ideology has meant that boys and men are now also exploitable markets.

In my opinion, 'Admiral AGP' Richard 'Rachel' Levine, has repeatedly issued misrepresentations re 'transgender' medical treatment for minors. He is a prime example of a 'physician' whose medical assertions are ideologically-driven and not evidence-based informed by facts. Why he is allowed to do this and remain in his position is outrageous and an embarassment to the U.S.

My hope is that the letter to the WSJ will wake up more people who were not aware that the systematic reviews that have been done show that the 'gender-affirming' care model is based on the lies and misrepresentations of 'trans' lobbyists and not evidence-based science from valid and reliable studies and data interpretation. The medical profession itself has been brought into disrepute b/c of those in its ranks who have embraced and perpetrated medicine's latest medical scandal.

I agree with some aspects of what you say about the effects of Brexit on public discourse in general, especially Clive’s comment about it “coarsening” debate. People seem to go from 0-“You are a literal Nazi and should be punched” almost instantly nowadays.

Oh no, Nancy Kelly, 'Sexual Racist', is gone! What will Stonewall do now? Close down forever, I hope. Well, they brought it on themselves, 'No LGB without the T' etc. The T, representing the most discriminated against, marginalised group ever, and practically victims of a genocide. Let's have a whip round.

P.S. My previous remark about 'Rachel' Levine was not intended (by implication) to cast aspersions on his ex-wife or the children he fathered given his heterosexuality. In that vein, here is a discussion of 'trans' and AGPs in a good interview w/ Helen Joyce at ieaLondon (at the point marked approx. 11:04).
