Every trans adult was once a trans kid.

Hormone blockers are a compromise and merely a pause button. Let kids experience the same puberty as their peers.

The truly only irreversible thing is puberty.

The only motivation and point for stopping trans kids from accessing medical care is *cruelty*.

The pervasive patriarchal attitude that queer children must be surveilled, abused, and denied all autonomy in order to "correct" them into conforming with their assigned reproductive role is exactly what the GC movement, in manifestos like Shrier's "Irreversible Damage", is peddling.

I want to note also in a BMJ interview from the 19th her and her collaborators have said they intend to force kids on PBs to "take a break" before starting HRT- i.e. forcing them through puberty that they don't want.

44/ 25:36 Cass claims "the central aim is to help young people thrive and achieve their life goals" (doubt).

She then declares that distress and barriers to participation in everyday life be addressed to create a "stable enough state" BEFORE allowing access to medical transition. This is dogshit

honestly in hindsight my decision at like 20 to lose a bunch of time and come to at the bus stop down the road from my dorm was an A+ move in that it got me to finally stop repressing what I’d known to be true since my earliest memory

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

11/ The righthand section is somehow even worse, with the claim that they can "resolve gender dysphoria without transition" (conversion therapy) and that a settled (cisgender) sexuality makes you stop being trans - the implication for this one being that gays and lesbians are being 'transed'.

Other options
4 frame comic. a guy with a bald eagle head on his shirt talks to himself : look, all I'm saying is that before doing something as radical as giving trans youth puberty blockers to force them to wait before transitioning, are we sure we haven't explored all the other options? I feel we haven't really tried laughing at them and telling them that they're delusional very loudly and through every media outlet. we should look into that! and if that doesn't work, I guess we could look into torture. a little bit of torture is good, actually! we could force them into a puberty they don't want, just to see how much pain that would inflict to them. for science! consider this: in the good ole days, there were no trans people, because we didn't allow them to survive into adulthood. iT's only since libtards introduced perverse ideas like "human rights" and "empathy" that we are stuck with them.

It's just so fashionable right now
4 frame comic. a young looking brown person with short hair says : mom, dad, I'm trans. Someone off frame says : you're not, sweetie. It's just a phase. in the second frame, they say : doctor, I'm trans. someone off frame replies : we'll need more proof and many years of waiting before accepting it. in third frame, they say : society, I'm trans. They're holding a newspaper that reads : trans youth don't exist. in the fourth frame, a white woman says : kids are being coerced into being trans and forced to transition!! the kid says : wow ok

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

While Maxwell Giordano is going through the motions at home, his alter ego Maxine is living the dream. She’s found her place — on the cheer squad, among friends — but keeping her two lives separate is driving her crazy. Taylor Scott’s senior year is going better than she’d ever dreamed, and she owes it all to Maxine. But the secrets are piling up, and one mistake could bring their carefully constructed world crashing down. Worse, she’s falling for Maxine, a girl who might not even exist after graduation! Together, they must face school, the squad, and Max’s traditionally minded family, all while concealing a love that is becoming impossible to deny. So many cheerleaders it's like Aliens to the first book's Alien! She found herself! Yay! So what now? It gets pretty gay! It gets really gay actually! Surviving high school in 2003!

Preventing trans girls from going through male puberty is LIFESAVING.

The treatment available for gender dysphoria is genuinely unique for two reasons.

1️⃣
The sheer EFFICACY. A satisfaction rate of around 99%, that shows up again and again in the lion's share of most reputable studies.

And two...➡️

helping her be a woman would keep her safe.
We listened, we adapted. We helped as much as we could to access care and support but it was hard. In the end it wasn’t enough, she’d gone through a puberty that devastated her, it was too late, she tried so hard to live 4/

Last week, as part of my charity work, I delivered a speech at a concert for TDoR and IDEVaWG. Here are my remarks.

I usually don't share things like these on here, but I think it's important to speak up.

1/
Good evening. My name is Zoe, and I'm a terrorist. Not really. The definition of "terrorism" is "the use of violence or the threat of violence against civilians in pursuit of a political or social goal," and while we want to change politics and society, we’ve never done anything like that. Sorry, but I needed a catchy phrase to open the conversation. To grab attention. But there's a grain of truth to it: because there are many people who call people like me terrorists. They say we're the ruin of the country. That it would be better if we didn't exist. Blaming an innocent minority as the perpetrator of all the ills that afflict society has always been a political tactic, especially on certain sides of the political spectrum, aimed at gaining consensus and strengthening one's own position. The story has always been this: you need a target. In 2015, in the United States, conservatives lost the battle against gay people following the Supreme Court ruling that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide. And it immediately became clear that the disasters conservatives feared—fire and brimstone raining from the sky, dogs and cats sleeping together—didn't materialize. So they changed their target. This shift in focus has been made deliberately and explicitly. There are documents published online by conservatives that outline how to do it: by pinning a whole host of wrongdoings on trans people. They talk about GENDER IDEOLOGY. They talk about PROTECTING WOMEN AND CHILDREN. They call us perverts. They call us mentally ill. They call us terrorists. I told you it's a way to grab attention, right? All this was done with the help of the Church, with a high prelate, perhaps the highest, who said that we have “a destructive potential equal to that of nuclear weapons.” It was done with the approval of a few millionaires, who, from the heights of their castles, spent billions on propaganda and financing lawsuits aimed at stripping trans people of the rights they have always had. It was done with the connivance and complicity of journalists. In September, a fascist was murdered in the United States. He was sitting in a university courtyard, making propaganda, and after spending his last words blaming trans people for the constant shootings in that country, he was shot. And on this subject, I'll read you the title of an article. Kirk's killer identified. FBI manhunt. Transgender slogan on rifle. Transgender slogans on rifle. Oh, that's no small thing. Of course, it wasn't true. It was a rumor spread by the right to discredit trans people, as they always do. But whoever wrote the article drank it up like a cold summer drink. And we're not talking about publications like LA VERITÀ or LIBERO or IL GIORNALE, which notoriously write things that would make Indro Montanelli turn in his grave. No. Do you know where the article I read you was published? La Repubblica. September 12, 2025, page eight. And you know what's worse? Once the transgender gun slogans were debunked, the denial wasn't published. Or rather, it was published, but dismissed with a hidden sentence in an article, not just in the headline like the news item itself. But in this case, perhaps it could be considered an honest mistake. In other cases, the bad faith is evident, and here we're talking about a tactic widely used by journalists to discredit trans people: they don't call us "people" but rather "activists." Because that reduces us to a political issue. Do you pee in a bathroom that someone thinks is wrong? You're an activist. Do you sue your employer for discrimination? You're an activist. Are you attacked by a man three times your size during a debate? You're an activist. Always an activist, never a victim. With these strategies and many others, they try to portray trans people as unreasonable, as bullies, as those who make absurd demands. As something new, appearing out of nowhere and seeking to upend society. But trans people have always been there and always will be. Do you know who Enheduanna is? Probably not, so I'll tell you: Enheduanna was a Sumerian princess, daughter of the ruler Sargon of Akkad, and a priestess of the goddess Inanna. She lived around 2300 BC. She is the oldest known female writer. And she was a trans woman. How do we know, you ask? Quickly: it is said that during a palace dispute, a rival priest pulled out a dagger, one of those used for the ritual castration of sacrificial rams, and threw it at Enheduanna's feet, saying, "This is the one you used on yourself, isn't it?" in mockery. But beyond proving that trans people have always existed, Enheduanna's story also demonstrates something else: since ancient times, from Enheduanna, to the myth of the seer Tiresias (transformed into a woman by the goddess Hera), to the Galli, Roman priests of the goddess Cybele who castrated themselves and dressed as women, to the medieval monks who wrote prayers to God to transform them into women, to the "two-spirit" people found among Native Americans, in most cultures, trans people have been considered bearers of a spark of divinity.

i saw the tv glow
3 panel comic, ink and colored pencil panel 1: a little trans girl who doesn't know she's a girl yet is standing in a hallway leading into a living room, where three older cis girls sit on a couch watching a glowing pink crt television. apart from the glow, all is shrouded in a blue darkness. caption: when i was very young, my older sister would have her friends over for slumber parties. they liked to watch sailor moon. i did, too, from behind the couch. panel 2: closeup on the tv displaying an image of a feminine figure glowing pink mid-transformation sequence caption: i loved seeing those brave, strong, beautiful girls fight evil. the magical girl transformations were my favorite part, but liking them made me feel ashamed and embarassed, and i didn't know why. it was a girls' show, and i wasn't a brave, strong, beautiful girl. panel 3: closeup on the girl's face, which is lit up in pink light. her hair is short and boyish. her pink-irised eyes are wide and streaming with dark blue tears. in the background, her head is surrounded by a glowing pink halo. in the foreground off to the side, there is a wall colored blue, white, and pink in roughly equal portions. on the wall is a lightswitch flipped to the off position. below, the first line of the caption is glowing pink. caption: i saw the tv glow and for a moment, the show seemed more real than real life.
