HMMM maybe there’s consequences in radicalizing a bunch of young, impressionable people, or treating “Transphobia” as some unimaginable, omnipotent force that causes people to become “ticking time bombs”. Or maybe seeing transphobia in EVERYTHING, including opportunistic trolls who see crit from GC feminists as an easy jab. You must think you’re psychic to confidently declare to a million online followers that a troll MUST be an “anti-trans activist”! Because any dick out there’s obvs anti-trans and as we all know, ya gotta make sure to emphasize that anyone critical of the TRA movement = automatically bad because discouraging people from ever looking into GC discourse is the best way to keep them on your side. One rando that replied to Jones told him that the women he decided to single out were straight (gender criticals don’t list their sexuality in their bio) and he just ran with it. Facts are important unless you’re talking about an endlessly vilified group of feminists, then they just get in the way, tbh.

“Today, almost the whole media is anti-trans, but while transphobia is rampant, anti-trans sentiment is not as widespread as anti-gay sentiment back then.” says Jones

Meanwhile, mass media is reporting women in dehumanizing terms such as “uterus-havers” and “menstruators” while men don’t get the same treatment (not to mention how male crimes are reported as being done by women now) so fucking men don’t feel left out of a the word “woman”. Big transphobic media published one article from someone I didn’t like, this is unacceptable! Fucking nazis.

rest of post under cut b/c it's long

And while feminists are among the only groups to scrutinize problematic charities like mermaids, Jones makes sure to only focus on some minute point being made (which is still important) and not the whole picture which is far more damning.

Mermaids espouses the true knowledge to best practices even if it is a political lobby group which has no professional scope or focus.

They’re so controversial that they were removed from the BBC advice page.

BBC Newsnight recently reported that staff concerns over too-hasty referral of gender-questioning children to medical intervention were being ‘shut down’ by the national Gender Identity Development Service. And the NHS has ordered an independent review of the use of puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria in children.

The organisation, which reported an income of over £750,000 in 2019-20, runs support groups and helplines for families and gender-questioning children aged under 19, and lobbies for access to medical interventions, such as puberty-blockers, for young people as a suicide prevention method. It has been widely criticised for perpetuating the line, ‘better a trans son than a dead daughter.’[…]

In numerous media interviews Mermaids CEO and founder Susie Green, who evaded UK age restrictions when she took her child, Jackie Green, to Thailand for a full sex-change operation when he was 16, has told how the first signs of gender questioning were her son’s preference for playing with dolls.

Mermaids removed checklist aimed at helping parents understand if their child is trans, experts chime in to say that the “[…]Mermaids checklist are all those that one might see in an undiagnosed /diagnosed teen autistic girl”

Charity ‘advised mum to force her son, 7, to live as a girl’

Here is the court report

But ofc, no pro-transing charity could as bad as “anti trans” activists and parents deemed transphobic according to Jones. What’s not concerning according to TRAs is traumatizing a kid by triggering an intervention by social services in cases where it’s not necessary because being wary of puberty blockers & hrt doesn’t automatically make you an abusive parent.

Susie Green of mermaids literally said that she went to thailand to get her son a sex change operation because he was too feminine for his homophobic dad.

She went to Thailand to help her DAUGHTER get sex reassignment surgery because her DAUGHTER was suicidal due to gender dysphoria and constant bullying and abuse both at school and on the streets (and yes, even by her own father), and due to NHS waiting times she would have been in her mid twenties by the time she would be able to have the surgery, by which time she may already have been dead by suicide from the crippling depression caused by dysphoria.

Jackie is now 29, very vocally supportive of her mum and her charity, and living an extremely happy, full life as a woman. She very likely would not be here if her mother hadn’t given her the support she needed.

The way you people spread extremely easily debunkable blatant misinformation slandering others is somehow both amusing and extremely disgusting. I find it rather telling that you seem to assume everyone else is on the same level of intelligence as you (ie: if I tapped you gently on the forehead I’d hear a distinct echo). I bet you’re the type of person who sees a meme on Facebook of Albert Einstein next to a completely made up quote and posts it without doing even a 2 second Google search before taking it as gospel. Cunt for brains.

remember: Even pro-trans journalists and people who write about this stuff as a job have acknowledged that there is no robust data suggesting that transitioning children prevent suicide or that not putting children on the path of transition causes suicide. there's literally no research attesting to any of this and the people putting their children through this shit are homophobic regressives.
