Basically at this point, the only thing the parents can do is get hold of some blockers and self-medicate or leave the UK immediately. There is no shortage of transitioned women who could help with that.

When you're fully transitioned, it's just torture to force a beard and a broken voice.

This is a cruel and inhuman punishment. How many times will she be raped?

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

Wes Streeting complained that “women” (by which he means “transphobes”) are being silenced.

Funny how one of those “silenced women” gets an op-ed in national mainstream media while we get nothing.

6500 anti-trans articles in UK mainstream media in 2023 shows who is being silenced and who is not.

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

If someone offers trans people a country of our own, in the middle of someone else's land, I strongly recommend we don't take it.

I mean, it's Keir's UK, so I give it 6 months.

Julie Bindel (along with fellow FiLiA speaker, Linda Bellos) were part of the ‘Angry Wimmin’ movement, which regularly got involved in graffiti, malicious damage, and ARSON!

This follows the Suffragette tradition of breaking windows & using bombs to protest!

Her pearl clutching now is hypocrisy! 😖

Following the trans action in Brighton last night in protest of the deeply transphobic FiLiA organisation, I encourage everyone to watch this video (originally created for BBC) where Julie Bindel and other ‘gender critical’ transphobes admit to violence and arson!

Bindel is a hypocrite!

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame.

The reason it’s called a ‘dog whistle’ is that it’s imperceptible to those who aren’t tuned in to the ‘hidden’ meaning.

In the same way the St George’s flag says “racism” to right-wing racists under the guise of ‘patriotism’, so the suffragette flag says ‘“transphobia” under the guise of ‘feminism’

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

It is forced detransition and inhumane. Imagine a teenage girl, then you start forcibly injecting her with large doses of testosterone halfway through puberty without her consent, trying to make her into a man, with no recourse It’s literally body horror. It’s fucking cruel.

Looking at the full list of Bindel's campaigns, most of the items would fit in very well into a hypothetical religious conservative campaign to roll back the 1960s "permissive society."
