Story of Richard Hoskins detrasitioner in Mail on Sunday

This is important and speaks loudly about who Richard Hoskins is and about his courage

Haha, yes, the new headline, Trangender women demand women only toilets !!

He'd hate it at our tube station the choice is men's, or unisex.

He certainly doesn't, in the Mail at least, write like any academic I've ever read

I don't know anything about his academic work or reputation, but I would think it's pretty easy to grasp that the Mail have their own style and whoever / whatever features in the paper will be edited to conform to that style. It's not indicative of how those people otherwise communicate!

He found the ladies loos at the station the safest place on earth. But this isn't because men will bash him in the mens I think he means safe from himself and his sad thoughts and regrets. He is pretending to be someone else, Rachel, perhaps if he put on a fake beard and a wig and went into the gents he'd have felt as safe. He was escaping from himself.

The studies aren't worth a light

And yet every unverified claim from a 'detransitioner' that they know hundreds of others and every 'survey' by a transphobic group that smells of having been written around a coffee table is immediately accepted as the gospel truth around here? I seem to remember one a while ago from the so-called Lesbian Alliance or some group like that where a grand total of 60 people had been surveyed.

Hoskins is a serious academic as demonstrated by his vast experience and many years of work with the police on extremely serious crimes related to accusations of witchcraft and Kindoki

As an academic with an extensive knowledge of the difference between real religious abuses and imaginary abuses he will be perceived as a threat by various sinsiter networks

Hoskins can be seen in this video (extremely disturbing)

my mistake, not Operation Midland, it was Operation Conifer

this is an important link about Richard Hoskins and his courage in standing up to a bunch of conspiraloon cops and their dubious psychotherapist advisor Elly Hanson, aka Elly Farmer a fascinating person

That is the only book he has published from what I can see. It won him a Golden Dagger crime award and was a Times best-seller – not a dry academic work.

Can you tell me what aspect of his writing and style in the Mail feature might make one think for a moment that he was a serious academic?

which you edited out

Even when you were shown to be wrong your focus was on emphasising how sensationalist you consider the book was with a grudgingly given afterthought.

It's really quite nasty given his background in criminology and African religions that you should have emphasised that one book to belittle him.

And I don't think that talking nonsense about what MN is and what's discussed is right at all.

This site is a huge source of support across a massive range of issues for women, also a place for women (it's almost all women) to talk to each other about everyday things. To paint it and the women on here as primarily discussing trans is an odd thing to do especially when it's so patently untrue.

Why would a person do that.

The studies don't track those lost to follow up. Not even the NHS tracks those lost to follow up. Huge percentages are lost to follow up. The studies aren't worth a light and the truth is that we have no idea how many detransitioners and regretters there are.

Active convos doesn't have pages I don't think.

I have no idea what you are even looking at.

To say that MN talks mainly about trans issues is utter, obvious bollocks.

Wtf?

You must have your settings weird.

You've clicked active convos have you? Or are you taking about fwr only which

A. Is a very small part of the site
B. You have to look for so why would you believe it represents the whole site

Unless you have hidden all the other topics?

I mean it's a total lie. As I say, unless you don't actually know what MN is and are focusing only on fwr for some reason. Which is not what most mn users do.

I suspect that Hoskins' skills and knowledge base could have made him a target for the varous therapy cults promoting both the satanic panic and the extreme end of the transgender movment.

Richard, if you are reading this, be very very careful about therapy for complex trauma, especialy any therapies involving the body and any kind of "energy therapy" involving the body and / or "breathwork".

This is completely untrue. There are a vast amount of this discussed on here. If you look at active conversations it's obvious that the above statement is utter cobblers. Yes spoken as a statement of fact.

At the time of writing on the first page of this forum there are 42 topics relating to trans issues and 7 relating to non-trans issues.

Richard Hoskins is very courageous for writing this piece and has been not only traumatised but gaslighted over his skeptical, rationalist, sane involvement in the collective gaslighting that was Operation Midland.

Hoskins spoke out about Carl Beech's lack of credibility and he was gaslighted by the cops at Operation Midland as a result.

Hoskins has horrific first hand experience of investigating real crimes against children based on religious belief.

He also has experience of reporting batshit insane conspiarcy theories, reported by a cunning paedophile, Carl Beech, and been gaslighted as a result.

I feel for him because my experiences in life, although very different in some ways, mirrors his own.

One thing I have significant personal experience of is of being abused and then, while vulnerable, being further abused.

Anyone who has worked with traumatised, vulnerable people understands that people who have been abused are vulnerable to being abused over and over again.

I worry that, due to his diagnosis of "complex trauma" Hoskins may end up being abused over and over again, simply because of the ISSTD, the ESTD and associated networks of quacks and predators who have infiltrated services for vulnerable people who have endured multiple traumas.

'
By that logic hmm there's an awful lot of potential trans people on this site seeing as discussing trans issues, especially surgery, accounts for the bulk of traffic on here.'

This is completely untrue. There are a vast amount of this discussed on here. If you look at active conversations it's obvious that the above statement is utter cobblers. Yes spoken as a statement of fact.

Is there another way of accessing that research?

Fraid I can't read that because I have AdBlock on. But it appears to be NBC coverage. Does that article contain a link to the academic research on which that report was based? Is there another way of accessing that research?

I'm off now for Sunday lunch with friends and may not be back until this evening.

Can you provide a link to that research please?

Links within story.

Could you link to those studies please?

I also wrote:

But you're right, a bit more research would have revealed that he has worked with the police and does specialise at a high level in some of the most gruesome and appalling murders imaginable. Not to say that every murder isn't appalling, of course.

which you edited out.

I googled him and came up withThe Boy in the River: A shocking true story of ritual murder and sacrifice in the heart of London– a mass-market thriller title if there ever was one

He certainly doesn't, in the Mail at least, write like any academic I've ever read
