This is the story of a CONTROLLING mother who has DESTROYED the lives of many trans kids, including potentially, her own.

And all based on ASSUMPTIONS of @TaviAndPort, a service she’s not yet entered!😤

Her prejudice goes ‘mask off’ in this article...
➡️ https://t.co/DhLm5avLck

 First up, my heart goes out to ‘Angela’s’ child. It is exactly *because* of parents like this, that Gillick exists - to allow young people body autonomy and agency over their own lives SEPARATE from controlling parents!
She’s right - she absolutely HAS taken away her child’s rights. Not only that, she’s also taken away the rights of THOUSANDS of other children and their parents to make choices about what’s right for them!

And all because she can’t handle the thought of her child being trans.
‘Angela’ doesn’t give a damn about the rights of parents! If she did, she wouldn’t have taken away the rights of parents SUPPORTING their trans kids! 😫

What about those parents? The ones who have sat on suicide watch while their child counts the days to getting medical help?
Let’s be absolutely clear here - The reason she didn’t tell her child, is because she knows it would absolutely DESTROY her relationship with them. She wanted to go behind their back to exert CONTROL over her nearly adult child, who legally had autonomy over their own body!
Let’s put this another way - Should ‘Mrs A’ have the right to STOP her child from having an abortion without her consent under the age of 18?

After all, having a child is MASSIVELY life-changing.

Should she have the ‘right’ to force her child to HAVE an abortion???
Not only did ‘Mrs A’ want to stop her own child from getting internationally endorsed medical intervention, she weaponised them in order to stop THOUSANDS of distressed trans kids from getting the same.

Be in no doubt, this was a move to enforce her own ideology on others!
The galling thing about all of this is that ‘Angela’ doesn’t *know* what would’ve happened in the @TaviAndPort clinic, as her child is STILL ON THE 2 YEAR LONG WAITING LIST!!!

Her information is clearly taken from transphobic echo chambers full of hyperbole and lies! 😖
There is so much to unpack here...

Surely any parents job is to give their children the skills to make their own ‘good’ choices in life. Part of that is recognising that what is ‘good’ for YOU, might not be ‘good’ for them!

Parents do not ‘own’ their children!!!
What ‘Mrs A’ also fails to acknowledge is that by forcing her child -and now, all other trans kids - to go through an unwanted puberty, she is taking away the ‘choice’ for them to avoid future surgeries & denying them the ‘choice’ to go through life without being visibly ‘outed’.
‘Mrs A’ is blatantly ignoring the FACT that fertility preservation is offered BEFORE anyone is prescribed hormones.

There are now also MULTIPLE instances of trans men who have previously taken testosterone, having healthy babies.

https://t.co/9DuQYwoft6
‘Mrs A’ also ignores the fact that most trans men identify as heterosexual (attracted to women), in which case having ‘biological children’ is not a given.

If her child is trans male & gay (attracted to men), then it’s entirely feasible to have bio kids
➡️https://t.co/JirpZdkoLN
The irony of ‘Mrs A’s’ comment - Due to her selfish actions, THOUSANDS of trans kids and their parents now have to stand by and watch as their future is changed for ever!

And all based on her ASSUMPTION about how @TaviAndPort operate!!! 😡😡😡
If ‘Mrs A’ had actually experienced the @TaviAndPort process, she would have found that far from being easy, that there are MANY obstacles to overcome before trans kids are able to access puberty blockers - As this thread - from someone who KNOWS - details ⤵️ https://t.co/IOO0DOBugu
So basically, because a parent has received letters that respect her child’s wishes over her own, and are unwilling to to side with her transphobic notions of ‘social contagion’, she’s taken out legal action against them! 🙄😣
It’s obvious that ‘Mrs A’s’ child at the age of 16, is still questioning their gender after ‘coming out’ at age 11.

‘Mrs A’ clearly doesn’t want her child to be trans, so she is doing everything in her power to covertly impose her will.

This is conversion therapy by deception!
Her comments “blaming” her child’s gender identity questioning on autism is a tactic used by anti-trans campaigners to try and infantilise trans people and remove their autonomy over their own lives.
Again, a reminder that ‘Mrs A’ HAS NO EXPERIENCE OF THE TAVISTOCK AND IS BASING HER KNOWLEDGE ON HEARSAY AND TRANSPHOBIC HYPERBOLE!

It also sounds very much that what she actually wants the @TaviAndPort to do is perform conversion therapy on her child! 😳
‘Angela’ then spouts a whole load of sexist stereotypes...

On the one hand her “daughter” played with “boyish things” as a child but then turned to “stereotypically female” things as they got older.

Surely she knows that gender expression is separate from gender identity?
It’s been cited again and again by trans adults that a common time that they realised they were trans was when their body started changing in puberty... about the time children move to secondary school! 🙄
A kid questioning their gender / sexuality / whatever seeks out information and support to find out more and to better understand themselves, so as not to feel so alone and shit!

And this is bad, why? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Clearly ‘Angela’ would rather her child was isolated, uninformed & alone!
‘Angela’ went to court to argue that under 18’s couldn’t possibly understand the implications of being trans, yet she admits that her own child AT THE AGE OF 11 was fully informed, including full knowledge of possible surgical procedures!!!
‘Angela’ is (expectedly) twisting the truth...

1. There is no “trans orthodoxy”
2. Children aren’t “encouraged” to “denounce their parents
3. However, if a child *is* experiencing abuse at home, wouldn’t it be prudent to suggest they get help / get away from it? 🤔
Let’s not pretend that all parents are good parents - some can be physically and psychologically abusive!

Unfortunately, instances of abuse towards children displaying gender nonconformity or gender questioning behaviour is still unacceptably high. 😞

➡️ https://t.co/AgUdrbc5jF
So, ‘Mrs A’s’ child tells her she’s trans, so what does ‘Mrs A’ do...

Cut off access to any support, then take the ONLY NHS clinic that can help her child to court in order to make ABSOLUTELY SURE her child can’t get treatment!!! 😳😳😖
Again, more confirmation that ‘Angela’ is only willing to listen to her child, just so long as her child says what ‘Angela’ wants to hear!

Imagine her child saying “I’m gay, I’ve always felt it”, and ‘Angela’ saying “No you’re not, stop rewriting history!”... It’s no different!
Another reminder: ‘ANGELA’ HAS NO DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF THE TAVISTOCK CLINIC, BUT TOOK THEM TO COURT TO STOP THEM TREATING HER CHILD BECAUSE OF “CONCERNS”*

*transphobia
Because we should *absolutely* ban everyone from having “life changing” abortions because ONE person regrets it! 😖

Let’s also ignore the FACT that Keira Bell CONTINUED to CONSENT to transition procedures as an ADULT!

This is NOT reason to remove treatment from ALL trans kids!
Let’s be absolutely clear here - ‘Mrs A’ took the @TaviAndPort to court because she not only wanted to push her anti-trans ‘gender critical’ beliefs on her own child, but also impose her ideology on EVERYONE ELSES TRANS CHILDREN TOO!!!
This moves to another issue... The failing of GIDS in keeping robust data - This is not disputed, and was one of the MANY reasons why @Mermaids_Gender & @stonewalluk sought to intercede in the court case - So that they could contribute some of the EXTENSIVE international data!
Unlike ‘Angela’ who jumped to take the Tavi to court, I’ve actually got first-hand experience and have spoken with their clinicians.

1. One criticism by parents whose kids are treated by GIDS, is that they’re often seen through a lense of “clinical curiosity”
This comment also ignores the practical fact that the Tavi have been dealing both with a massive rise in referrals AND an uptick in dealing with trans-hostile lobbying - both which impact the opportunity for research.
AGAIN ‘Angela’ has absolutely NO IDEA how the Tavi would respond, because SHE’S NEVER HAD ANY APPOINTMENTS WITH THEM!

Her assumptions are based on misinformation and rhetoric gleaned from the transphobic echo chambers she occupies! 😣
A reminder: Angela’s’ child told her they were trans at 11. They’re now 16. Does she *really* think her teen will ‘change their mind’ in the next 2 years?

Also, the legal ruling states 16+ year olds can still consent to blockers!

All she’s done is stop OTHER kids getting care!
As always with the blatantly biased trans-hostile Daily Mail stories, the ACTUAL FACTS are relegated to a tiny paragraph at the bottom of the article! 😖 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
This is yet ANOTHER trans-hostile article from the - without exception - transphobic UK mainstream media, based on lies, hyperbole, and the platforming of those with bigoted ideological views! 😞

⚠️ It’s just been flagged to me that in Section 89 of the Judgement Bell v Tavistock it states that Mrs A child hasn’t been referred to GIDS.

It appears that ‘Angela’ is lying. She didn’t refer the child & there was no letter from GIDS with male pronouns! 😳

On 13 October Mtila as defacto overlord of the Boko Harram gang, allegedly carried out his penultimate cash-in-transit robbery. Sources say he sustained a head wound in a shootout with security guards. Some friends believe he was killed by a fellow

He died two days later, on 15 October, after allegedly being in a coma for more than a day. His funeral was a spectacle, held on Nyanga Sports fields on 24 October and attended by hundreds of people. Sources say it was made possible by Paarl businessman Lukhanyo "Spur" Mangena.

This is incredibly sad and disturbing.

Two women were killed last night by this man.

He was released last month after a burglary arrest.

(1/x)

According to the article he has a record of:
+ 2 counts of voluntary manslaughter
+ possession of a stolen vehicle
+ leaving the scene of an accident
+ burglary
+ driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs

(2/x)

There is a question as to who is responsible here, beyond the suspect.

Apparently he was released on 12/23 for another crime.

There is an algorithm which makes suggestions, which judges and the DA office use as inputs.

(3/x)


Here is our DA's response:


It is my impression that the balance of justice is off-kilter in SF right now.

Feels like career criminals can act with virtually no consequences, until someone gets killed.

The "broken windows" theory is feeling truer and truer to me.

When Congress, MSM operatives, etc were allowed to openly incite terrorist groups (under cloak of "activism", "protest") to commit crimes against us: target lists, biz sabotage, cybercrimes, threats, physical violence-
it led to using these groups for other coordinated treason.


Weaponizing peasantry is always to benefit the elite class. So if peasants go to prison and few- if any- big names go down, it will be a tragedy. These people were exploited by gov game play from all sides... left to believe delusional "truths" planted by CIA&friends & also left

to believe in their cause by White (Gray?) Hats as well, instead of declaring these Marxists groups for what they really are, and setting right the lies laid out to get people to believe these groups are simply activists. They've been used by all, and their lives are ruined...

I'm not in favor in letting them go. I'm in favor of stiff punishments.
What I advocate for, is INCREASED punishment to all in power who raised these terror groups up as "activists" for the purpose of using as operatives, armies, civil unrest, color revolution, election rigging,

and TREASON!
How DARE they use our own citizens against us!!!!
This must be a heavy penalty crime going forward if we are ever to heal as a nation. The *first* time members of Congress incited groups to rise against us should have been the LAST. Immediate loss of seat and jail.

1/OK, data mystery time.

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE

That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.

Let's check this number.

2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".

The report is available here:

3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.

The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.


4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.

Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.

That estimate is from 2012.

5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.

I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.

Butt plugs were originally sold as a miracle cure for headaches, acne, and insanity

Thread, article here and h/t: @qikipedia :
https://t.co/Ts84xnmWKJ


For a long time, medicine was pre-occupied with the question "can this be solved by putting something in the butt?"

Take, for example, tobacco smoke enemas, in which 18th Century physicians saw drowning victims and attempted to de-deadify them by blowing tobacco smoke up their rectums with a pipe.


Despite having no medical benefit whatsoever, the practice was popular, and enema kits lined the Thames like lifebelts, ready to be used as one final humiliation for somebody who was crap at swimming.

This practice ended sometime after 1800 when it became apparent that it didn't really work, given how the anus famously isn't really connected to the lungs, but doctors weren't quite finished with having a poke around in the old anus to see what happens just yet.

1/ Recently, I learned about the concept of ‘struggle porn’. This refers to the fetish of sacrificing nearly everything (health, relationships, time) for your startup. I fear that this label is creating more harm than good.

2/ @nateliason wrote a fabulous article about this topic, which first introduced me to this concept. Everyone should read it:

3/ @alexisohanian also recently spoke about struggle porn, though referring to it as ‘hustle porn.’ (as the co-founder of @hustlefundvc, obviously I take issue with this pejorative definition of ‘hustle’, but that’s another topic)

4/ Struggling in itself isn’t necessarily bad. Let’s be real here--if you’re going to start a startup, you will struggle. Founders should expect to work harder generally than employees. You will be challenged in many ways and also be super rewarded in others. This is normal.

5/ However, if you are over-indexing on hard work without clear purpose and degrading your mental health/relationships in the process--then this is very bad and we obviously should not celebrate this behavior.

#Thread Two divine forms of Khatu Shyam ji...


On the day of Amavasya, devotees get the darshan of Shyam Baba in Shyam varan (black color). In ordinary days, the form of Baba is saffron. The reason for this is a custom. The real head of Shyam Baba which had appeared from Shyam Kund is of Shyam varan.


Every day Shyam Baba's grand Shringar is done by Pujaris. The main part of Shyam Baba's shringar is Tilak. This Shringar is done by the members of Nij Mandir sevaks. The sevaks of the Nij Mandir do sandalwood tilak to Baba everyday in the auspicious time.


This Divine Tilak is applied from the forehead to the nose. When Baba is given a bath by sevaks, this tilak comes off. Then in the auspicious time, the sevaks again apply tilak to Baba.


There is no auspicious time on the Amavasya. Because of this, tilak is not done on that day. That's why devotees have darshan of Shyam Baba on the Amavasya only in the actual real form (Shyam Swaroop). Baba's tilak is done on Amavasya only on the day of Deepawali.

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)


The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)
