The puzzle to me is what do teens with cross-sex ideation watch and talk about with each other in the hours they spend online? I’ve gotten a lot of valuable information from PITT's blog and comments, but nothing on this question although I could have missed it. On YouTube, detransitioner Helena Kerschner describes how girls watch and discuss gay male pornography, which is all I've found so far. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NSr_ac9b3k&t=2804s.) I’m hoping that the research described above will shed light on this puzzle.

Helena Kerschner recalls why and how she was seduced by the idea of "becoming a man" here: https://lacroicsz.substack.com/p/by-any-other-name

I am glad you are bringing up the subject of pornography and it’s influence on our youth. I believe it is extremely damaging to young women. I have a slightly different take on the subject than you, but its essentially unimpeded access to our youth is devastating nonetheless. My belief is that the girls viewing today’s hyper hardcore pornography are becoming frightened of sex. Our children are but a couple of clicks away from viewing the most vile filth known to mankind. Today’s pornography is extremely male aggressive, and if that is what is expected of a woman to please a man, then they want nothing to do with it. A girl who becomes a man will now not have to suffer the humiliation and degradation of what they believe a sexual relationship between a man and a woman is like.

Partly true, but i believe there are many different reasons kids get stuck in this. For some, it's not fear of being with the opposite sex, but it's the feeling if rejection by them so instead they join them. For some, it is trauma and rejection and hatred if oneself. For others, it is non conforming to their own gender social groups and are lost as to who they are. For others, it is a sexual fantasy. But in today's world, this gender ideology is like a God come to save them from their darkness. It's an idol. It is coveting what you don't have and it is an evil world abusing vulnerable children. So sad

They talk a lot of radical left politics and how the fascists are coming to kill them.

"Proof of social contagion"? It's so overwhelmingly obvious, I'm amazed it has to be "proved" to anyone with eyes, ears, and a brain.

And having evidence of social contagion is a good thing when the loudest TRAs and their allies in the media insist it doesn't exist.

I am very wary of anything asking for massive amounts of money, especially when we really don't know where that money will go. I already was distrustful of our fight against the trans cult and propaganda being turned into an elitist unintelligible academic diversion until I reached that part of the statement.

This won't reach anyone, but will drive many of those who care away. We need to keep our answers about how this mess began and who is behind it and how to fight it as accessible as possible, to reach as many people as possible. Many of us have the history and experience of fighting this since we were young, in the early Seventies, and our Lesbian Feminist community kept the trans at bay for decades. We saw how that changed and know why, and many of us have written in detail about it, including what to do.

It's very basic: Don't be afraid of losing friends or even being screamed at and threatened, but keep saying no and fighting it in every way possible. Never genuflect or play along out of fear. Counter every con, including the myth that trans is real and that those playing at it are an oppressed people. Name every harm this cult is doing, from torturing children with drugs and surgery, to the threats and murders. Keep linking to the brilliant opponents who show proof, like the site Women Are Human, Karen Davis' videos, Exulansic's videos, etc. Be as visible as possible in protesting. And undermine every way that this cult is shown as trendy and popular, like showing some of the hideous surgery scars, and keep naming the harm, in detail.

I know there is no excuse, but most people still seem to have no idea about the horrors committed by this cult, the money made, the murders committed. And that is because of the censorship, so keep fighting the censorship in every way possible.

Hi, I agree with everything yp u 've said except to not support a group looking for the AI and social contagion. I think it's incredibly important because that is where the brainwashing begins. It doesn't happen in a vacuum, it is happening on reddit and in discord and chatboxes of games. This is where the seed is planted and I believe it is crucial to know where we stand on this point for both hope (if our voice is getting louder) and for a reality check (If there's is getting louder), but also.... for my loved one caught in this lie... I keep throwing truth and statistics at them, because I keep reminding them that this is a battle between truth and a lie. Our side needs to arm themselves with any truth and science and study we can get, so we can smother the lie with Truth and expose the darkness.

I completely agree to smother the lies with truth, and there are so many I want to reach too (having lost so many to this horror), but I do not trust the motive of that group, including asking for money. Plus the elitism makes it almost incomprehensible and could lose us way more than we gain. Our energy and money needs to go into direct countering the lies, on every level. I also agree to keep countering with statistics and facts, but to keep it basic and irrefutable and simple, so there is no squirming out of it.

I agree with your caution and impatience. But my hypothesis is that we opponents of cross-sex ideation and legal sex change, with all their concomitant harms, may not be giving sufficient attention to the need to abolish the current silent public tolerance of pornography. (Twiss Butler and I were active in backing the unsuccessful 1984 Dworkin and MacKinnon Anti-pornography Civil Rights Ordinance.) Now we are supporting this research, and have done some due diligence on it, in the hope that it will give evidence of the key part pornography plays in the addiction to cross-sex behavior by children and adults. As you likely already know, in her books Sheila Jeffreys well describes the harms of trans pornography. We think that establishing a link between pornography and the current destruction of children's as well as adults' lives can lead to public rejection of its use as a public health hazard akin to smoking.

I so agree that porn is doing massive damage. Thank you for fighting it. It should be completely banned. We wrote against it in our book in 1990 also, as well as the trans cult. (By the way, Jeffries visited us in the late Eighties and we agreed completely at the time after hours of talking and supporting her -- until she brought up an issue we did not agree about, and she refused to discuss any part of it and has since then has been slandering me and Linda Strega and Ruston and I (we co-wrote our book) as well as plagiarizing us. But she has the credentials and power of the press.

But yes, porn is as dangerous as smoking. It reminds me also of the contamination from a zombie bite, that kills but still spread. Horrific.

"a crux of Meili’s insights here: he tells us that the top fifteen influencers on Twitter are trans activists."

Is this the top 15 in this subset of interactions i.e. Trans and detrans. Or, more worryingly, is this Twitter et al?

Expand full comment

In this case, the topic is “detransition”

It means that for every one engagement that’s speaking about detransition from a gender critical perspective, there are four that are against.

It suggests to me that the pattern of bullying and mobbing of transitioners, and the denial of their experience is coming from a very small group of activists

While that is still horrible, it's preferable to the alternative.

You beat me to it, I wanted to ask the same question. If it’s true that the top 15 influencers overall on any topic on Twitter are trans activists, that would be very disturbing but would explain a lot.

I grew up in the 60s and 70s. We wanted to get rid of stereotypes. The new gender theory is just reinstating old stereotypes and adding a whole lot more, which are just ways of labeling people. One thing that this does as a side effect is that it clearly demarks people of various sexual and gender identities, so that they can be discriminated against, and AI could have a field day that. It’s especially concerning when you consider the uprising of fascist ideologies on the extreme right, which historically have been very unkind to certain stereotypical categories. This is not the direction, that civilization needs to move in.

Expand full comment

Yeah, when it comes to the transgender lunacy we're presently dealing with, it's no doubt conservatives we have to worry about.

Expand full comment

I’m not saying “conservatives” are a concern. Labeling people is restrictive and potentially dangerous. These are medical issues, if they are diagnosed through proper protocol, and should be private. Bad AI might as well be called Artificial Bigotry or Stupidity. It reflects the attitudes of the designer of the algorithm.

So much of the Trans teachings are straight up gaslighting. They preach it's impossible to get gender dysphoria from social contagion. We know that suicide, anorexia, depression, and a host of other conditions have social contagion, but the TRA team has the world conned that gender dysphoria is singularly special and not subject to it.

Expand full comment

They also say it’s inborn and not social contagion and should therefore be protected by law out of one side of their mouth, while engaging in obvious propaganda to convince people to transition out of the other side of their mouth. They clearly KNOW it’s possible to convince someone they’re trans, even if they say otherwise.

Expand full comment

Thank you! I think it’s very important to understand who is pushing the gender propaganda and why. This data will help us figure it out. Is it people who have a financial interest in transition medicalization? Is it agents of foreign governments trying to destabilize western democracies? Is it political groups within western democracies trying to gain supporters for their parties? Is it pedophiles and sex traffickers trying to gain access to kids and young adults? Are they misogynists who want to replace women in public life? Are they doing this for their own sexual gratification and trying to make it socially acceptable? Are they true believers who really feel they were born in the wrong bodies and think others will benefit from transition? Most likely it is some combination of these things.

We already know that trans rights activists are liars - they insist that being trans is an inborn characteristic that should be protected from discrimination like race or sexual orientation, while at the same time participating in relentless recruiting that demonstrates they don’t really believe it’s inborn. Understanding their motivations would be very helpful in countering their messages.

Jennifer Bilek of the 11thhourblog traced the funding of the gender clinics to several billionaires, some of whom are AGP. Also, Genevieve Gluck of Reduxx investigated WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health).

As much as I appreciate what this project can do. I am very leary of who will have access to this information and how it could possibly be used in the future.

With everything being exposed the last place I want to contribute support to is the technology industry especially with what is going on with the Silicon Valley Bank.

Feet and bodies need to hit the pavement it has never failed in the past. The Righteous must stand. God has our backs.

I so agree with the first part of what you said, but not "the Righteous" or "God."

Wow so much for my brain to process and not sure I understand everything fully but I do understand the power of this information to support the notion that Tumblr and other social media platforms created the crisis. Ty for doing this work and sharing it with us, the public, and not restricting the information to peer-reviewed journals the public has to pay a high price to access.

What's really going on vs. What you many may not know.

Teachers who are teaching the trans agenda, give students the information for these sites.

These sites brainwash children and push the agenda as cyber war fare.

A major part for our children experiencing gender dysphoria, mental illness, and much much more! Did their plan work?

"peer-reviewed journals the public has to pay a high price to access" - which mostly publish research funded by our tax $$$ btw. (Not completely relevant, but I had to jump on my soap box for a sec :))

100%! The public should have total access to the research being produced on our dime.
