I have epilepsy. Had my first seizure at 9 years old. Had seizures every day for years, was nearly lobotomized. No one, ever, told me I was in the wrong body. Instead, my loved ones told me I had potential. Could overcome my limitations. The idea of ...

What I want to know is how it happened so swiftly, in the past five years, that a chemo drug was marketed to children, supposedly to correct children's bodies, and how asking questions about this has been met with extreme threats of violence. ...

The rebranding of a failed terminal cancer treatment as a cure-all for women and children is the biggest medical fraud of our time. The inflation of gender dysphoria by society, the commitment to it by media to sell a cure - let's remember, feminists ...

Children, even teenagers, cannot consent to sterilization, especially when the effects of puberty blockers on their bodies are not researched. These are powerful drugs for cancer patients. The tide is turning. #IStandWithKeiraBel...

In Bell's court case today, I find it troubling that anorexia was invoked as a reason for lack of consent. Anorexia is a mental state that results in self-harm, so the state can intervene. Otherwise healthy children being harmed by drugs is the ...

The important work of changing minds doesn't happen through social media alone. Talk to your friends, share your ideas. Pornography is a crisis; it puts a corporate facsimile of sex, devoid of love, between men and women. When you address porn ...

How can anyone justify "born in the wrong body" without invoking sexism and homophobia? The idea of it was initially medicalized during gay conversion therapy decades ago. Men and women were told they were in the wrong body because they weren't ...

When research allows, though taboo now, it shows that the most common paraphilia of sex offenders is transvestism, included under a definition of transgender. This isn't shocking. The idea of identifying as a woman is rooted in objectification, which ...

The term "exclusionary" is applied by those who aim to disrupt women's boundaries. They don't recognize that men excluded women for thousands of years, from education and public life, and still do, to this day. By nature, women are exclusive, because ...

And why would they, given that "puberty blockers" is a re-branding of a failed drug developed to treat terminal cancer? There is no law in any country I'm aware of that requires long-term follow-up research on its impacts. Deciding not to do this ...

Japanese feminists are also opposing gender ideology, and those who do also oppose pornography and the sex industry. The common thread that unites feminists globally is a basic understanding that women are human, not a projection of men's desires. ...

Gender theory, especially through the category of "cis," naturalizes harmful stereotypes about men and women, and places women as cruel oppressors of men. With one word, the sex hierarchy is reversed, renders women's realities unspeakable. ...

Telling children their bodies are wrong, then giving them powerful drugs developed for end-stage cancer which will sterilize them, is abuse. The problem is society, but changing sexist ideas is not nearly so profitable as selling a "cure" to ...

Proponents of the puberty blocker use say the effects are reversible. There is no evidence to support this. On the contrary, in a report submitted by TAP to the FDA in 1998, the company acknowledged its effects were not reversible. ...

If you believe that children are born in the wrong body, that is a religious belief based on a "gender soul," or innate identity: a concept used by religions to condemn non-believers. You have a right to your beliefs, but no right to children's ...

An article about violence against women that doesn't say "men" once. We can't end male violence if we can't name it. Terms like "GBV" remove accountability, erase its systemic nature. Women are oppressed, by men, deliberately and globally. ...
