Savage minds has been instrumental in calling out poor research on trans issues but faces defunding for its defence of Palestinian rights. You can help it continue by supporting this fund raiser fundrazr.com/savageminds?re…

I’m going to be talking at the Genspect conference in Lisbon on Saturday 28 th Sep about why I believe placebo factors are responsible for the positive reports of ‘gender affirming’ medical treatment. Open minded discussion of the issues welcome

I wonder when the first prosecution for genital mutilation will be brought against a trans rights activist or doesn’t it count when it happens in the west? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Good mental health is predicated on acceptance of reality. Encouraging a mind-body disconnection is a novel way of seeking to improve mental health. We'd like to see some evidence for this other than 'research' by an activist organisation.

True. It seems highly unlikely that chemical castration is going to help young people with their body hatred and mental health problems But at least conduct the research before claiming it as a trans right! Cass showed the current evidence base is ‘poor or very poor’

Remarkable how all the skeptics & science bros simultaneously expired when a vicious anti-science movement arrived. It was all fun & games debunking homeopathy & acupuncture; saving kids from sterilisation by gender ghouls would have risked their book sales & speaking fees

It makes me furious with Netanyahu and the IDF just to read about this war crime from my safe home in England. How much more rage will it engender in those who are its actual victims? Israel your barbarism is creating war without end. No peace without a Palestinian state.

Here’s a link to my talk at the Lisbon Genspect conference. In it I postulate that many cases of gender dysphoria can be conceptualised as a dual dissociation of mind from body and male from female elements in the psyche. open.substack.com/pub/genspect/p…

If the UKCP is to uphold its position safeguarding vulnerable children from the castration cult masquerading as gender affirming medical care it’s important to elect sex realist Sue Parker Hall as the next chair. Please circulate.

The BBC is complicit in supressing legitimate Palestinian voices such as these on the spurious grounds that they promte Hammas. In fact such supression creates the despair and desparation that drive organisations such as Hammas to violence. palestinecampaign.eaction.online/BBC-stop-censo…
