So not happy with the puberty blockers ban in the UK and frustrated by Wes Streeting closing her planned loophole she found a new one and has been arranging for parents to take their kids abroad to get prescriptions of puberty blockers injections and testosterone for under 16s. The government has said its going to stop the practice but hasn't said how.

Which premises about women’s rights to choose a sterilisation do you disagree with?

If you want to start a thread about that, be my guest.

Do you have any comment to make on Susie Green's activities?

I honestly can’t believe that on a so called feminism forum that I’m having to explain why women should be allowed autonomy over their own fertility.

I actually agree with what you have said about the vastly different impact of reproductive role on men and women.

The need for women to be able to control their fertility is, I think, the most obvious sex based right and why it is so important that sex and sex specific rights are recognised in law. I'm so glad that you understand this.

However, that right is not absolute. A pregnant woman cannot demand an abortion at any time.

In the specific case of sterilisation, doctors are allowed to balance the consequences of giving irreversible treatment to somebody who may later regret their decision, given that other forms of long term but completely reversible contraception are available.

But even if you think the balance is wrong in both these instances, it still doesn't follow that GNrH antagonists (no evident of benefit, clear evidence of harm) should be prescribed to prevent puberty, because that is a completely different treatment, and the judgement needs to be made on completely different criteria. It's really not clear why you would conflate two such different things, and calls into question whether you are arguing in good faith.

Of course. Doctors can very reasonably want their patients to have tried other means of contraception or have good reasons for not choosing those before opting for sterilisation. That is part of the prioritisation that needs to happen in a healthcare system.

And in reality most younger women who seek sterilisation will not be choosing it as a first choice. It is almost always women for whom other forms of contraception are painful or dangerous or cause intolerable side effects.

And a doctor absolutely can refuse treatment on the basis that it would do medical harm. That is an area where their expertise will make them more qualified than a patient to make a judgement on the likelihood of medical harm.

They should not, however, be supplanting their own risk assessment for a grown woman’s when it comes to the risk of regretting not being able to have children. That is not a medical issue - it is an emotional and social one, and a doctor is no more qualified than the woman herself - far less so, in fact - to judge how likely regret is, and whether the risk of that regret is justified by the benefits of sterilisation.

As for controlling fertility, I'd like to restate that PJ is in favour of sterilising gay kids (because that's what they were doing at the Tavistock) but doesn't have the balls to make that argument.

That's why she refuses to say anything about Susie Green.

RareGoalsVerge · 27/08/2025 20:20

@PlanetJanette oversimplifyimg obviously causes misunderstandings

The human brain doesn't finish developing until 25. A lot of women don't really start making peace with their body until mid 30s. A person gets legal adulthood long before they have the capacity to react as an adult rather than a teenager in the full flush of teenage certainty in their own infallibility. An 18yo who has been on puberty blockers for a number of years (which are known to stunt brain growth) will have the legal right to consent to transition surgery and medical treatment as an adult, long before the likely timescale for them to reach the maturity level at which they realise how much they have been lied to and abused by the ideology train.

Thank you for giving your opinion on that issue. I don't think there is anything else to say on the matter.

Do you have anything to say about people who set up businesses abroad to sell drugs to children for purposes that are not legal in the UK?

PlanetJanette · 27/08/2025 20:02

Hang on you lot claim there are lots and lots of detransitioners out there. But also that puberty blockers ‘lock in’ a trans identity. Those two things are not compatible unless you think puberty blockers actively prevent regret/detransitioning which I don’t think you do.

Ok im going to try and explain this in a way any idiot can understand.
For 80% of children with body dismorphia doing nothing except allowing them to go through puberty with the development of the brain that comes with it resolves the body dismorphia.
When you use puberty blockers to prevent puberty you lock in the body dismorphia by simultaneously preventing the brain development that should happen and affirming the validity of their body dismorphia.
As these children get older and have more life experiences along with starting to suffer the side effects of their treatment without improving their mental health issues they often come to realise the lie they were sold and detransition.
The average timescale for detrasitioning is about 10 years. Many don't as they cant see a way back due to the damage done to their bodies and/or fear the backlash from their "community" and far to many kill themselves (trans people are most at risk of suicide AFTER medical transition).
As the explosion of ROGD only started in 2016 we are barely seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the social contagion cohort, however what we have already seen is the early guinea-pigs of the Dutch protocol coming to term with what was done to them speaking out. The number of detransitioners who have been harmed by the people who should have helped them is growing daily.
What % of harm to children who suffer from body dismorphia is acceptable to you @PlanetJanette

I have actually said plenty about gender affirming healthcare for children on this thread.

But yes, chin stroking or not, it is certainly very illustrative that the GC voices on here range from actively opposed to adult women having full control of their fertility to merely silence on that matter. Not a single so called feminist (myself excluded) prepared to say definitively that women are better placed than their doctors to decide if they are prepared to take a risk that they may one day regret not having children.

Yes, you've repeatedly bullshitted us about puberty blockers being not only reversible, but normal puberty kicks in when you stop taking them. Which isn't the case.

You also think that they can be prescribed to minors under Gillick competence.

You still refuse to say anything about Susie Green running an overseas operation to provide "treatments" that are not legal in the UK.

You support sterilising gay kids, and you don't even have the courage to argue your case. Fuxache, get Susie Green on here and she'd argue her case.

I further take issue with PJ claiming to be the only feminist here given that one of her two only serious ideological commitments seems to be the right of trans identified men to take their cocks into women's single sex spaces.

The other commitment, to which PJ returns regularly, is opposition to the basic principles of child safeguarding.

That's because it has nothing to do with my thread its just you desperately trying to distract people from susie green and the loopholes she and her company Anne Health are exploiting to harm children.
How about you answer my earlier question what % of harm to children with body dismorphia is acceptable to you? Because for me its ZERO

That's like saying condoms sterilise men because they stop semen reaching an egg. While the second clause is true, the sterilisation clause is not - because as soon as the condom is removed the impact on fertility ends.

Blocking puberty blocks the development of fertility. It does not destroy it, and that development of fertility resumes when puberty resumes. Unless as an adult, the (former) child decides that they want to continue on to cross sex hormones.

Blocking puberty blocks the development of fertility. It does not destroy it, and that development of fertility resumes when puberty resumes.

But if the child reaches the age of 18 (technically an adult) and then goes straight to cross-sex hormones, they never resume puberty. This means that they were effectively sterilised as a child. This is the 'normal' progression of medication for a child who identifies as trans and doesn't desist.

Since all but one of the Tavistock children who were put on puberty blockers went on to have cross sex hormones, this indicates that nearly all those children were set on a path to sterilisation as children.

Don’t forget full ‘bodily autonomy’ and enabling children and vulnerable young people to make life changing/health ruining decisions and it’s their problem if they regret the consequences.

@PlanetJanette can you explain what you believe to be the purpose of medical treatment for transgenderism?

Proponents of transgenderism now say that it is nothing to do with stereotypes. They also say that a person's gender is unrelated to their sex. So gender seems to be something that just happens in their heads. Gender also lacks any objective description of what it actually is, other than something which makes people unhappy and want to change their bodies.

With that in mind, if a person with a male or masculine gender identity can have either a male or female body, and someone with a female or feminine gender identity can have either a female or male body, why the need to go to such lengths to change the appearance of one's body to match their gender identity?

Why not just accept the bodies we are born with, and inhabit them with whatever 'gender' (or personality) that we like?

Can you answer these questions I asked you earlier @PlanetJanette ?

You're very keen on children being sterilised and having their normal sexual function impacted which will have an enormous effect on their ability to enjoy many aspects of their lives as adults, but you haven't said why you think this treatment is so important.

Can you explain? What on earth is this treatment trying to achieve? Why do you think it is so important that children receive it?

Enough4me · 27/08/2025 23:51

Does anyone on this thread think that Susie Green's clinic sounds like a good idea and, rather than letting children develop, their development should be stunted?
@PlanetJanette - are you seriously in favour of this clinic?

PlanetJanette · 26/08/2025 13:01

No, I don't think every child who thinks they are trans will necessarily turn out to be trans as adults, which is why I don't support irreversible transition before full medical competence.

But yes, I think the vast majority of children who experience gender dysphoria persistently through puberty will still be trans as adults.

Evidence shows the vast overwhelming majority grow out of it. It's a fad, a social contagion.

PlanetJanette · 26/08/2025 13:33

What? You think that if abortion led to infertility, that would be grounds for denying women under 30 - who is fully aware of that risk and is willing to take it - access to an abortion?

You're being disingenuous. The purpose and side effects of Puberty Blockers is infertility, osteoporosis, lack of brain development, inorgasm, fused/narrow spinal cord, and fecal and urinary incontinence. Abortion does not cause those things.

The equivalent of what you're doing is advocating for Thalidomide because a teeny tiny minority didn't have any effects. You're advocating for dangerous drugs that sterilise and cause harm to growing bodies.

Sorry, your take on medical ethics is a bit bizarre and not grounded in reality.

The ethics by which UK practitioners are bound, and the basis by which they should go about resolving ethical dilemma, is set out by guidance from professional organisations like the BMA and in the legal framework within which they operate.

And bodily autonomy is absolutely a core element of both.

It's not absolute. We don't have the right to remove our organs, such as a kidney, and sell them.

PlanetJanette · 26/08/2025 18:13

No. I support the very long established Gillick principle for trans and non-trans people alike.

It is folk like you who demand differential assessments of capacity when trans healthcare is involved.

So do tell us; do you support limb amputation for those who feel dysphoria over a limb (and there have been cases)? If a person wants a leg removed, for no reason other than dysphoria with it, should doctors do it?

What about an anorexic girl who wants a lap band operation?

Just how far do you go in this 'affirming' 'care', and where do you draw the line? Do you even have a line?

ThatBlackCat · 28/08/2025 05:16

PlanetJanette · 26/08/2025 22:05

A doctor can ethically refuse treatment that is not clinically indicated or which would cause medical harm.

A doctor should not be able to refuse treatment that is clinically indicated and where the only harm that might arise is the risk of regret at not being able to have children in the future (aside from the usual potential risks of surgery to which I hope you can agree that adult women can consent). I.e. not a medical harm.

Also, denial of the treatments you are discussing is not based on lack of capacity. In fact I can't think of any other area of treatment where we would say that an adult of sound mind is incapable of making decisions to have a clinically indicated treatment because somehow they are incapable of weighing up the risk of future regret. But uniquely when it comes to a woman who knows she does not want children, we supplant a doctor's opinion for her own, despite that desire - now or in the future - not being a medical issue to determine.

There is no clinical indication for prescribing a dangerous drug to a child that causes; infertility, osteoporosis, lack of brain development, inorgasmia, fused/narrow spinal cord, and fecal and urinary incontinence.

That is far worse than mere 'regret'.

Just as well you’re wrong to say that puberty blockers sterilise children then. They do not.

They most certainly do if used for a long time - most 'trans' kids - , and prevents puberty at all and therefore sexual development. Even the Mayo Clinic has acknowledged this.

ThatBlackCat · 28/08/2025 05:39

akkakk · 27/08/2025 12:00

The problem is that making statements doesn't make them real...

  • trans people exist - no - there are people, men and women who apply a label of trans with an objective behind adopting that label. There is no such thing as a 'trans' adult
  • trans kids exist - no - there are adults who label children as trans, but there is no such thing as a 'trans' kid

You claim objective facts - so let's understand the real meaning of words - not their misuse:

  • Transition - A passing or passage from one condition, action, or (rarely) place, to another; change. (1545–)

So this has pre-requisites to be accurately used:

  • A starting condition
  • A end condition
  • A difference between the two conditions such that there is change from one condition to the other.

Let's examine the concept of transition / trans in terms of 'sex' and as an example the concept of a man becoming a woman:

  • Starting condition = man / boy / male
  • End condition - doesn't matter what you do to that person, whether you give them hormones or surgery - or whether they simply self-ID as being the other sex - makes no difference, you still have the original man / boy / male - you can never create a woman / girl / female. You might now have a man without hi normal genitals, he might even have a fake entry to look like a vulva, hormones might have given him bigger man-boobs or moobs - but at no point, whatever you do does he become a she
  • As the end condition (man / boy / male) is the same as the starting condition (man / boy / male) - no transition has taken place.

Let's examine the concept of transition / trans in terms of 'gender' and the concept of a man living as a woman.

  • A man and a woman are defined by gametes / sexual organs / etc. - not how they live - how you cross your legs / whether you wear a skirt / application of makeup - none of those make a man or woman.
  • We know and encourage children in a world where we wish to reduce stereotypes that they can be the shape of boy / girl they wish - girls can be astronauts or builders, boys can be nurses or the stay-at-home parent. Either can climb trees or play with dolls, dressing up is available to both, as is woodworking or needlework. Your job and the activities you do don't define you.
  • Society has stereotypes for men and women - a snapshot in time of those stereotypes defines gender at that point, however it is fluid as we know from history - high heels first came into the country for men, who in regency time also wore stockings / makeup and jewellery / pink was considered a boys' colour and blue for girls until early 20th century when it reversed - and many other examples.
  • A man who lives outside his 'gender' (i.e. a man in the 21st century wearing high heels and a skirt, with makeup as one example) hasn't adopted the female gender - instead, they are simply pushing or changing social norms and boundaries for their own gender - if enough of them do it, they don't all become women, but the social stereotype changes. Stereotypes are observed, they don't create the person.
  • So it is not possible to move from one gender to another - you simply change the shape of your born gender - no transition of gender is possible.

So, it is remarkably clear that it is not possible to transition sex or gender - so the concept of a 'trans' person doesn't actually exist - so why do people use it as a label?

  • Mental Health illness - there is clear evidence that as bodies can not be changed and sex can not be changed, there is no such thing as physically having the wrong body - so when there is a mismatch between how the person feels and the sex they were born, it is of the brain. While there can unintentionally be a stigma in labelling issues as mental illnesses, to understand mental health and to recognise that it can go wrong (illness) or be healthy is of vital importance to society
  • Gender Dysphoria - there is a very real problem for some that they dislike their body / feel that they are born in the wrong body / etc. However, as above, this is a mental health illness, and treatment is not physical mutilation of the body - they can never be the opposite sex, so dealing with the real issue is important.
  • Transvestism - this has a simple etymology: trans (as we have seen above - change) and vest from vestments - so change of clothes - it is simply someone (normally a man) who likes to wear the clothes which are stereotypically associated with the other sex. As we have seen above, this simply expands gender boundaries, it doesn't make a man into a woman.
  • AGP - sex based games for erotic purposes - certainly not appropriate for children, and rarely appropriate for those (mainly men) who partake.
  • Other - other agendas which are suspected and fairly evident - such as anti-women agendas etc.

Conclusion

  • The objective facts you list are not facts.
  • 'Trans' as a concept for sex change does not exist - you can not change sex
  • 'Trans' as a concept for gender change does not exist - you can not change gender
  • We need to be more empathetic to those with genuine issues who are perhaps being overlooked (or mutilated) rather than being dealt with appropriately...

Well said. That mental illness 'eXiStS' does not mean it's valid. Schizophrenia 'exists', people with schizophrenia 'exist', that doesn't make it a desirable or valid lifestyle. People with Anorexia Nervosa 'exist'. That doesn't mean we seek 'affirming care' and give them liposuction and lap band surgery.

Trans kids do not exist as trans. It's parental abuse. It's like the saying; 'trans kids are like vegan cats: in both cases we know who is really making the decisions'. It's munchausen by proxy. Now known many quarters as transhausen by proxy. 'Trans' kids don't exist. Child abusing parents who got the wrong sex child they didn't want, or who prey on children's normal developmental confusion and who harm and abuse their child, exist.

They weren't though. No children were sterilised.

Adults made the decision to go onto cross sex hormones which will have impacted fertility.

Not only are you ignorant of what Puberty Blockers do, you are ignorant of the facts of Tavistock. It is a fact, a documented fact, that almost all of those children were INDEED sterilised. Why you need to lie, only you know.
