I was watching an Agatha Christie mystery the other day on TV - “The Moving Finger” starring Miss Marple as an astute older lady who notices every detail of her surroundings and solves murder mysteries for fun. A village in England she was visiting was being overrun with very dark “poison pen” type letters, of the “I know you’re cheating on your wife” variety. Everyone in the village was getting one and everyone was very concerned. Then, the wife of a prominent citizen was found murdered. Who did it? Miss Marple considered that once you eliminate all the noise of the letters, you always have to consider the husband as a possible suspect when a married woman has been murdered. And sure enough, the husband was the murderer.
I've done a lot research and there are many guilty parties, but thinking strategically is more powerful. The question is what are the contagion's vulnerabilities. Of course every attack on the beast is a help.
But Pamela Paul (2/2/2024 NYT) shows that anti-homo-sexual bias produces many transitions, which amount to the worst sort of "conversion therapy." That's a very powerful charge that trans activists are particularly vulnerable too. And the war between gays and trans goes back to 1978 (The Transextual Empire). Gays are organizing on your side, it would be good to link up and focus on that vulnerability.
I also think Jason Rafferty (#1 at AAP) is vulnerable because he posts obvious lies (gender identity cannot be changed -- detransitioners prove this wrong all the time) that target parents on the AAP site.
I'm sure others can think of more. But the point is to be strategic. What will damage their credibility most with very limited resources. Helen Joyce thinks strategically and I think Pamela Paul might be a strategic ally.
The problem is that this has become political and "life or death" for men who wish to parade around in woman face and be accepted "as women" and allowed into women spaces. When left of center Dems (especially women) speak out, we get called some very nasty names and we get scolded or cancelled. It's the far left whack-a-doodles who are the problem. They are using our children as "shields" in their fairy tale game of make believe.
I agree completely. That's the central point of my work. Good point about how they use children as "shields."
Good strategy is essential because they are so ferocious. It's easy to build an anonymous website,and operate it from the safety of a substack. Post simple, clear, accurate attacks and it will gain notoriety and have influence. Strategy must consider who to attack and how to defend ourselves. That can only be figured out by discussing strategy. That's the missing step.
Important point you make--go to the scene of the crime and there you will find the criminal, the one (literally) wielding the knife. Which doesn't mean (in my view) that doctors are the MOST culpable, but they are part of the system harming children and young adults. Doctors are vulnerable, a weakness in the system inviting attack. Just as a powerful person in an Agatha Christie play pays a lowly hit man to do his dirty work, the doctors are not in charge of the system, they are cogs in the system. Which does not exonerate them, just as the hit man in a murder is culpable and will be punished. He is also the one most likely to be caught. These doctors are beneath those most culpable with the most to profit. But without the doctors paying dearly, there will not be change. When doctors are punished either socially or criminally, the medical bodies will also be forced to change. The medical establishment that takes its marching orders from activist groups will see the liability and will shift course, because it's never really been human rights issue for them, it's a pragmatic business issue. There is money to be made as well as powerful people to appease. Same with the politicians, who are also culpable. It must hurt more to continue these atrocities for people at all points in the system.
You make a good point. To protest outside of Gender Clinics as many did against Planned Parenthood for a couple of decades.. or any Dr providing abortion for women was effective and may still be the answer. Considering it hasn't been used much, perhaps we should organize.
One problem is many of us are supportive of a women's right to bodily autonomy, post adulthood, tho not in place of a developed fetus ( I won't go into that here) but as a part of being female and even within that perspective, we are now second class citizens. So we lose many of the people who would normally be on the same side of the issue as we are.
How to lift up these young adults as individualized and autonomous (post 18), while at the same time bringing attention to the atrocities these Gender Dr's place onto our children and young adults? Why not carry signs? It's a great question. These Dr's are advertising on the WEB. Why not take their splattered images and even the many that are being hidden but can be located and use them to hopefully stop one more kid, adult, human from going down this horrific and painful road? MAYBE we have to PROTEST with images outside the BIG MEDIA stations in the big cities or even at your local news media locations until they are forced to share it with their viewers.. What are we waiting for?
Fear of losing and ostracizing our children, I am sure.. There are many who are speaking up as we know and have lost contact with their children. They are the leaders of the rest of the warriors. Thinking of Beth at UCLA Davis campus events.. and so many others.. It's also beginning to work in women's sports arenas. Thinking of the women showing up for womenarereal.org I think, who were displaying signs recently. It's effective! People are noticing!
). These laws were planned and he knew exactly what he waa doing. The medical establishment is also a victim of these fetishist psychopaths who don’t give an F about women or children. They want their sexual fetishes fulfilled and also want humans to become AI robots. As an example of this guys disgusting attitude In the book 1st edition at least he calls for the abolishment of female prisons and says they should all be mixed, putting women on the pill so they don’t get pregnant. This is the utter misogyny of the guy who organised gender identity laws to be established across the globe. He’s a psychopathic genius. Look where we are now. It’s done. California has pretty much put his ideas into practice as long as the man just openly claims he’s a woman. This guy is now on the Mayo clinic board. It’s like having Mengele running medical research for the populace.
Where is the outcry and why is this guy not in jail. He’s working with the Pritzkers who have funded the Democrats since Obama. They have a Pritzker Governor who was in the running to be Harris VP pick. Instead she chose Tampon Tim who has put all the extreme gender identity / transgender laws into place in his own state.
This is higher than the medical establishment. This does all the way to the top of politics and the corrupt elite billionaires running the show.
They won't do a thing to Martine Rothblatt. He started satellite radio (SiriusXM). I believe the only other person with so many satellites up in the sky is Elon Musk....and EM he has gone too far into crazy land (IMO). Or maybe Musk owns the satellites and Martine uses the services that the satellites provide....at a cost of course.
Given the intensity of the topic and the emotional stakes for those involved, it's crucial to approach this situation thoughtfully and constructively. Here are some practical steps concerned parents could take to raise awareness and encourage reflection within the medical community and broader public:
1. Education and Awareness Campaigns
Public Awareness Initiatives: Launch campaigns that provide information about concerns related to gender-affirming care, including potential risks, alternative approaches, and long-term studies. These campaigns can use social media, blogs, webinars, and videos to reach a wider audience.
Engage with Media: Write opinion pieces, letters to the editor, or press releases to highlight the concerns. Parents could also seek interviews on radio, TV, and podcasts to share their perspectives.
Educational Workshops: Host workshops or webinars for parents, educators, and medical professionals to discuss the complexities of gender dysphoria and treatment options. This could help bridge gaps in understanding and foster more nuanced conversations.
2. Legal and Policy Advocacy
Advocate for Informed Consent Policies: Work towards legislation that ensures minors and their guardians receive comprehensive, unbiased information about all treatment options, risks, and outcomes. This includes pushing for mandatory psychological evaluations and extended counseling periods before making irreversible decisions.
Engage Lawmakers: Parents can organize meetings with local representatives to discuss concerns, encouraging them to consider new regulations or oversight on gender-affirming treatments. They could also support legal efforts that promote greater scrutiny of the medical practices involved.
Support Legal Actions: If there are cases of malpractice or negligence, concerned parents might support legal actions that seek accountability for medical professionals who do not adhere to strict ethical standards.
3. Research and Data Collection
Promote Independent Research: Encourage or fund studies on long-term outcomes of gender-affirming treatments to ensure that all potential effects, both positive and negative, are fully understood.
Share Personal Stories: Parents and individuals who have had negative experiences with gender-affirming care can share their stories, with appropriate consent, to bring more awareness to the topic. These testimonials could be compiled into articles, books, or videos that highlight the personal impact of these treatments.
4. Constructive Engagement with Medical Community
Collaborate with Medical Professionals: Engage with doctors, psychologists, and psychiatrists to open a dialogue about best practices and patient care. Encourage the development of guidelines that prioritize thorough evaluation and counseling.
Ethical Boards and Reviews: Advocate for more stringent oversight within hospitals and clinics. Parents can push for the creation of ethical review boards that scrutinize the practices and standards of care offered at gender clinics.
Medical Conferences: Attend or organize medical conferences to present evidence-based concerns, engage with healthcare providers, and promote more conservative, cautious approaches to treatment.
5. Building Support Networks
Parent Support Groups: Establish or join support groups where parents can share their experiences, resources, and strategies. These groups can also serve as a base for collective action, such as petitions, rallies, or advocacy efforts.
Alliances with Like-Minded Organizations: Partner with organizations that share similar views on gender treatment. Collaborating with groups that have established legal, medical, or media expertise can amplify the message and extend reach.
6. Peaceful Protests and Events
Organized Peaceful Protests: Plan protests outside gender clinics, medical associations, or government offices to draw attention to the issue. These should be peaceful and respectful to ensure the message is taken seriously.
Panel Discussions and Public Debates: Host events where experts from both sides of the debate can discuss their perspectives. This helps to raise awareness and encourage a balanced, respectful conversation around complex issues.
7. Ethical Marketing and Messaging
Develop Clear Messaging: Focus on creating clear, fact-based messages that avoid inflammatory or accusatory language. Addressing the issue respectfully is more likely to gain support from a broader audience.
Use Social Media Strategically: Create a unified social media presence to share information, organize events, and mobilize supporters. Hashtags, campaigns, and viral challenges can help bring more visibility to the issue.
These approaches aim to create awareness, encourage responsible practices, and open up a broader discussion on this sensitive issue without resorting to divisive or aggressive tactics.
I think we need to band together to not only pass legislation to extend Statutes of Limitations to 20 years (so that at least someone will pay, and the detransitioners and their lawyers will have some sort of recourse), but also to make "Gender Affirming Care" punishable as a violation of the Nuremberg Code: https://research.unc.edu/human-research-ethics/resources/ccm3_019064/, and have either the Federal (better) or state legislatures enact punishments for the doctors and clinics, since the Code is not really enforceable that I know of.
In the US we are medicalizing young people for "trans" who have all sorts of issues - autism, abuse, sexual grooming... But the Gender Medical Education Industrial Complex just wants to make fast money and feel good.
And, it really in a eugenic movement. In addition to everything else it is removing lots of high IQ kids from the gene pool. "Trans" is after all, a mind bug, part of the Woke Mind Virus that Elon Musk talks about. In this Dr. Lisa Littman's study you can see that about half the young people with teen onset trans identification have formally tested as academically gifted in the past.
Results
Baseline characteristics
Baseline characteristics (Table 1) included that the vast majority of parents favored gay and lesbian couples’ right to legally marry (85.9%) and believed that transgender individuals deserve the same rights and protections as other individuals in their country (88.2%). Along with the sudden or rapid onset of gender dysphoria, the AYAs belonged to a friend group where one or multiple friends became gender dysphoric and came out as transgender during a similar time as they did (21.5%), exhibited an increase in their social media/internet use (19.9%), both (45.3%), neither (5.1%), and don’t know (8.2%) (Table 2). For comparisons, the first three categories will be combined and called “social influence” (86.7%) and the last two combined as “no social influence” (13.3%). Nearly half (47.4%) of the AYAs had been formally diagnosed as academically gifted, 4.3% had a learning disability, 10.7% were both gifted and learning disabled, and 37.5% were neither. Sexual orientation as expressed by the AYA prior to transgender-identification is listed separately for natal females and for natal males (Table 2). Overall, 41% of the AYAs expressed a non-heterosexual sexual orientation prior to disclosing a transgender-identification.
It is important to note that none of the AYAs described in this study would have met diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria in childhood (Table 3). In fact, the vast majority (80.4%) had zero indicators from the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for childhood gender dysphoria with 12.2% possessing one indicator, 3.5% with two indicators, and 2.4% with three indicators. Breaking down these results, for readily observable indicators (A2-6), 83.5% of AYAs had zero indicators, 10.2% had one indicator, 3.9% had two indicators, and 1.2% had three indicators. For the desire/dislike indicators (A1, A7, A8), which a parent would have knowledge of if the child expressed them verbally, but might be unaware if a child did not, 95.7% had zero indicators and 3.5% had one indicator. Parents responded to the question about which, if any, of the indicators of the DSM criteria for adolescent and adult gender dysphoria their child was experiencing currently. The average number of positive current indicators was 3.5 (range 0–6) and 83.2% of the AYA sample was currently experiencing two or more indicators. Thus, while the focal AYAs did not experience childhood gender dysphoria, the majority of those who were the focus of this study were indeed gender dysphoric at the time of the survey completion."
Maybe the doctors can get sued over not doing due diligence and digging for what actually ails the young person? States pass "conversion therapy" laws though which amount to "don't question" - just medicate and operate, making lifelong patients for pharma. $$$$$$$
And I can say with a 100% accuracy that pediatricians have ZERO understanding or training in child development. The janitor at the local high school would be as good a choice for a “gender” doctor as any of these corrupt and grossly incompetent AAP members.
AND the public has to more strongly show their disgust with American Academy of Peds by refusing to take your children to an AAP member Pediatrician. You can take your kid to a non-AAP member or just see a family practice doctor. The sooner they get the message that we aren’t playing games, the quicker this ends. Signed, a former AAP member.
Medical Student Selection needs to be taken away from Medical Schools. Sure they can train medical students but the selection of those students NEEDS to be placed in the hands of the people. These doctors are purposefully being selected through CASPR & admission essays to select activists instead of individuals w/ethics. This has to change NOW.
Let us not leave out the culpability of planned parenthood, who fast tracks people of all ages, where you can start your ‘gender journey’ with medicalization and then referrals to butchers.
Locally, a transgender desister organized pickets outside of the pediatric transgender clinic in Dallas (Genecis). The clinic has closed and the doctor, Ximena Lopez, has relocated to California.
Vote TRUMP and Republican if you want the science to actually come out and for this to stop. If you are voting Democrat, you are part of the problem. This will be the only issue I vote on this coming election (I have never voted for Trump before). Once the science is out, they will not be able to put that genie back in the bottle.
Actually, why anyone would vote for Trump ... people who think it's normal to sway on stage for 40 minutes, talk about a dead golfer's penis size, be facing multiple legal charges - seriously, wtf would you vote for this man? If you think he cares about supporting parents battling the trans ideology, you're dreaming. Trump cares about 2 things - money, and Trump.
Yes!! Brilliant essay. I was on the fence about true evil existing until I met so many evil people who promote this ideology. I blame the media too. This is a cultural movement as well and only positive stories are shown. This week Otto and that stupid film about The Elf actor and his trans friend both landed on Netflix. Enough to make you puke
None of this should ever have happened. All of these ways to stop it are good but we are so polarized that just try to say, “wait a minute…” and you get the door slammed in your face. It’s a delusion and a fetish and a perversion that everyone involved in it gets something out of it.
If a child says they are the opposite sex they become a pawn in the game. Two sides are tossing this child back and forth, and nobody puts the brakes on.
When all the laws were being passed last year it was because there were no laws in place, no guidelines, no ethics to get this juggernaut back on track.
It’s political, it’s psychological, it’s medical, legal, and religious, but mostly it’s MAGICAL and that means it is a trick, not reality.
It moves around while we are all trying to figure out how to solve this bizarre puzzle.
I left out financial and economical, which is at the root of this evil.
Agree, agree, agree! 👩🏼👏🏼

Agreed - we need media coverage for the detransitioners - their voices need to be heard by all
I think we need to band together to not only pass legislation to extend Statutes of Limitations to 20 years (so that at least someone will pay, and the detransitioners and their lawyers will have some sort of recourse), but also to make "Gender Affirming Care" punishable as a violation of the Nuremberg Code: https://research.unc.edu/human-research-ethics/resources/ccm3_019064/, and have either the Federal (better) or state legislatures enact punishments for the doctors and clinics, since the Code is not really enforceable that I know of.

The janitor at the local high school would probably be better because he might have common sense.
AND the public has to more strongly show their disgust with American Academy of Peds by refusing to take your children to an AAP member Pediatrician. You can take your kid to a non-AAP member or just see a family practice doctor. The sooner they get the message that we aren’t playing games, the quicker this ends. Signed, a former AAP member.
Medical Student Selection needs to be taken away from Medical Schools. Sure they can train medical students but the selection of those students NEEDS to be placed in the hands of the people. These doctors are purposefully being selected through CASPR & admission essays to select activists instead of individuals w/ethics. This has to change NOW.
Let us not leave out the culpability of planned parenthood, who fast tracks people of all ages, where you can start your ‘gender journey’ with medicalization and then referrals to butchers.
Locally, a transgender desister organized pickets outside of the pediatric transgender clinic in Dallas (Genecis). The clinic has closed and the doctor, Ximena Lopez, has relocated to California.
But of course, California. Home of body modification in general. Living Barbies.
Vote TRUMP and Republican if you want the science to actually come out and for this to stop. If you are voting Democrat, you are part of the problem. This will be the only issue I vote on this coming election (I have never voted for Trump before). Once the science is out, they will not be able to put that genie back in the bottle.
Me too - Walz makes me sick -
Why any woman would vote for Trump is beyond me.
Actually, why anyone would vote for Trump ... people who think it's normal to sway on stage for 40 minutes, talk about a dead golfer's penis size, be facing multiple legal charges - seriously, wtf would you vote for this man? If you think he cares about supporting parents battling the trans ideology, you're dreaming. Trump cares about 2 things - money, and Trump.
Good for you! This is the first election where I can honestly say I am a ‘ONE ISSUE’ voter !! This is the hill I will die on!
Yes!! Brilliant essay. I was on the fence about true evil existing until I met so many evil people who promote this ideology. I blame the media too. This is a cultural movement as well and only positive stories are shown. This week Otto and that stupid film about The Elf actor and his trans friend both landed on Netflix. Enough to make you puke
None of this should ever have happened. All of these ways to stop it are good but we are so polarized that just try to say, “wait a minute…” and you get the door slammed in your face. It’s a delusion and a fetish and a perversion that everyone involved in it gets something out of it.
If a child says they are the opposite sex they become a pawn in the game. Two sides are tossing this child back and forth, and nobody puts the brakes on.
When all the laws were being passed last year it was because there were no laws in place, no guidelines, no ethics to get this juggernaut back on track.
It’s political, it’s psychological, it’s medical, legal, and religious, but mostly it’s MAGICAL and that means it is a trick, not reality.
It moves around while we are all trying to figure out how to solve this bizarre puzzle.
I left out financial and economical, which is at the root of this evil.
It must be stopped.
It absolutely must be stopped.
hell yes!
