Good god that is awful. The scarring is terrible.

I really worry for young girls these days. When I was a teenager in the 00’s, I didn’t see anything like this on social media or on the internet. Kids these days can easily see this on Instagram, TikTok, Reddit etc.

Been scanning the comments in this piece - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/13/health/transgender-teens-hormones.html

Good to see a lot of common sense in the comments and a lot of pain from parents that already have had to deal with the damage.

Hopefully a more open debate will come from it

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I’m going to catch up first and join in!

Both articles from the DM

Lia Thomas 'called herself the Jackie Robinson of trans sports'

Speaking anonymously to the Washington Examiner, the teammate said Thomas was behaving entitled and likening herself as the trans version of baseball legend Jackie Robinson.

Language has become less rational and more emotional, study finds

A team of scientists found words like 'determine' and 'conclusion' that were popular from 1850 through 1980 have been since been replaced with human experience such as 'feel' and 'believe.'

When I was a teenager during round about the same time (so you probably saw it too) teens were into the cutting phase and the anorexic/bulimic (Ana/Mia) phase and it was all over MSN chat rooms, Livejournal and MySpace. The difference was the promotions of these were deemed as harmful and were condemned, and efforts made to shut it down. Parents weren’t rushing out to buy their children razor blades or encouraging them to starve, or to throw up anything they ate. Yet now cutting the breasts off children, cutting the penises off children is now apparently acceptable and what’s worse, if anyone points out this is harmful or damaging as were the trends that festered and grew online before it, they get shouted down (or worse) for being “hateful”.

Saw it on FB yesterday and thought the caption was really irresponsible.

“Some doctors say it’s a barrier to urgently needed care”.

So dodgy to be framing the medical standpoint as being against mental health support before
barrelling in with blockers and hormones.

Those pictures, especially the last two, are chilling.

That picture when Hubbard took a place at the Olympics of one of those young women is heartbreaking. They both look so fed up.

Those women rose up through poverty to practice their sport. The fact that a past-it old bloke robbed them of their rightful gold and silver is a bleeping travesty.

Is that where “no, thank you” came from?

No that was at the Olympics when the three medal winners were asked about Hubbard at the press conference. Rightly shut down.

 

[Slothgang]

Just fell down a google hole looking for more information about those pictures and came across the website 'fair play for women' which is an amazing resource! You are probably all aware of it already but I just wanted to put it out there.

I'd like to take this opportunity to honour Feagaiga Stowers, a brilliant weightlifter who had her rightful position robbed by Hubbard.

I wish her luck and strength in her career going forward.

I’m just waiting until there is a public outcry from a religious group over this

Wasn’t Jo Cox sister Kim, fighting to win the Batley & Spen election last year? Some of it centred around Galloway poking his oar in to! I think she was targeted by a big part of the Muslim constituency over her support for LGBTQ teaching in local schools. I remember reading that Tracey Brabin was also attacked. It was quite a volatile situation at the time!

Rebel Wilson. Another Hollywood twit.

Rebel Wilson makes JK Rowling joke as she’s announced as 2022 Bafta host | The Independent

She wasn’t even funny when she was fat! Most over rated comedic actress ever!

@JeanBurns76
There was, of sorts, between Muslim parent protesters against a primary school in Birmingham. It was framed as Muslims against LGBT but the quotes I read from the complaints from the parents were along the lines of “my little boy came home and said his school told him he could be a girl”. All reports were framed as anti-gay though.

Hope she sues them

I can’t remember where but I have read SO many things about athletes in races, at the olympics or elsewhere, helping people up who ep have fallen etc (male or female) as They don’t want to win because someone else who was better has been unfairly knocked out. Will try and find the articles.
