The sacrificial lamb: Transsexual "Louise" blames transgenders and GCs for everything. Oh, and also the Government. And the NHS. And gender clinics. And GRCs. And possibly my dog.

Well, this is odd: a strange blog from Nick Wallis, written almost entirely by a "transsexual" (self-termed) person called Louise.

I wouldn't even know where to start to respond to such hyperbole, but the comments by Jennifer Gourley, in the Comments section, say pretty much everything I could think of.

One small quote from "Louise" (it's a pseudonym) sums it up:

"So you see we’re the little guy in the middle being shot at by both sides. The sacrificial lamb in somebody else’s war."

The "little guy" would be transsexuals. Or something.

“what the Trust did do almost immediately after I left is take out liability insurance on the gender clinic."

Remember who is trying to destroy the WI.

Wasn't something similar happening at the Portman and Tavistock NHS Trust? The GIDs clinic was bringing in significant funding to the rest of the trust? I seem to remember this in Hannah Barnes's 'Time to Think'.

Another chilling example Anna gave was her experience of dealing with 18 year olds who had been put on puberty blockers whilst at the Tavistock children’s gender clinic. “Because they’d been on puberty blockers, it felt like being in the room with a 13 or 14 year old. Cognitively and emotionally, it felt like somebody much younger to the point where, as a team, it felt like we were working in an adolescent service. But we were an adult service. I’d never worked with adolescents. It’s a different field. So I suppose we were… I wouldn’t say out of our depth, but it was uncomfortable.”
I pick Anna up on the point about cognition. Was she saying that these teenagers’ mental development had slowed?
“Totally, yeah. Totally. And I can remember we had a training session with some of the endocrinologists from the Tavistock children’s gender identity service. And I put that to them and they went, “No, no, no. There’s no evidence for that.” I said, “well, that’s what I’m seeing”, but they were just: “No, no, no. That’s not a thing”.”

What a surprise, says absolutely no-one with a functioning adult brain and a concern about child safeguarding.

I have a gay friend, cold as ice emotionally, not a shred of Be Kind in him, who on the one hand is a total biological determinist, what's in your pants dictates who you are, has no time for fashionable excesses in society, hugely skeptical on Stonewall...yet when we talk about women and gays (yes, I realise as a straight man I can't lecture him), he sees no compromise on trans being the societal acceptance thing it's become (yet then he takes the piss out of transgender BS the next moment, I can't keep up!).
Interestingly, his niece who is strongly on the autistic spectrum, has come out as trans, NB mainly, but a boy on some days. Now there can be no debate, the individual must be free of all judgements from the family and society at large.
Yes, even the uncle, my "what's in your pants is who you are" friend goes into denial. If he was being honest, and he hints at it more and more often, it's mass delusion powering this, the niece is as female as the day she was born, but societal pressures, judging, and the eggshells the girl and family walk on means that for the first time in our friendship, he's coy, self censoring, not himself.

@MarcTheGenderSkeptic madness. But as he has ‘kin in the game’ to quote a cleverer person than me he has to play along or he is seen as a bigot.

How would we be dealing with this contagion if it was anorexia? Giving weightloss drugs/gastric bands? No we wouldn’t because we know anorexia is a mental illness.

Trans needs to be pathologised in a similar vain so we can help these people - especially the young women opting out of womanhood.

I feel we are lying to a whole group of people who seem to think they are in a revolution and this will all turn out great. It won’t and the boys will still be boys and the girls will still be girls.

We seem to have lost the ability as a society to explain that women come in all personalities and presentations and men do to. You are not born in the wrong body and using intersex as the gotcha is not acceptable. They are still male or female.

I have said this before. This is a medical scandal in the making.

The men lapping as women are also the worst type of men and they are destroying or attempting to destroy women’s rights. It is misogynistic beyond belief all dressed up as be kind.

Larping not lapping

I think a big problem is that this has arisen at the very point in the West that our critical reasoning skills have dumbed down in the social media age, social contagion now happens globally via the web as opposed to just in your school alone, or village at most.
Additionally, we have no attention span, we both can't concentrate on one story for more than three nanoseconds, all the while so many things come at us all the time.
Into this dilution of the Western ethos have come the motivated actors and activist class.
But even here, things are muddy, there's a lot of genuine belief in their cause, yet the cause (one sex can magically become another) is as ephemeral as the very medium it's transmitted on (online, peer to peer radicalisation), and permitted by the wholly insubstantial guard rails of society.
It's as if the very shelling out of the Western culture is the perfect foundation for an ethos that instead of being a celebration of our differences, looks to hollow us out into pure stereotypes. What is touted as lifting humanity up instead flattens and homogenizes us.
An ephemeral belief, imposed on an insubstantial culture.
That's why the fighrback of women, from Greer, Bindel, thru JKR, to the Sex Matters women, and all the proud GC journalists refusing to shut up, is so jarring to the culture.
It's reminding us all what the culture used to be, based on science, logic, lack of sentimentality. Pride in the Enlightenment and no nonsense Western testing of our principles.
The culture today is struggling to take this.
And it's why the activist class was so successful for what looks like nearly a couple of decades (if I deem the start of the decline as the Gender Recognition Act) in effectively hijacking society. Uniquely aided by social media, and public shaming as the new method to keep us all in line.

You were! Quite restrained, I thought. ✅

Genuine question. How do teachers, health professionals, doctors, therapists, surgeons not see they are grifting for money and kudos and not see reality and truth? I am a normal middle aged woman, not an activist- I see the lies. It is not ‘kind’ to concur with a delusion.

I think its professional working independently with no joined up thinking.

Schools were letting in outside companies to talk about sex education, lgb, or other issues and all included or sometimes focused just on trans. Lots of trans content on line was aimed at children. Schools started to see children socially transition. Maybe seeing it as a fad or part of LGB?

GP were seeing more children and adults and referring them to clinic.

Schools, social workers, parents and GPs trusting the experts in clinics.

The clinics saw the rise, but didnt/couldnt see a source.

These patients were referred on to endocrinology and surgeons who trusted the clinics diagnosis.

The clinics were only diagnosing gender dysphoria, and not responsible for prescribing drugs and surgery.

Everyone along the line should have known that trans children wasn't a thing 10 minutes ago and adult transition was very rare. But the culture made it difficult to speak out if we werent experts. But who were the experts? No one is taking responsibility.

Agreed. The DfE & other govt departments openly funded & promoted trans lobby groups. Even Ofsted pushed GI at primary schools and only abandoned it when they were outed by the Telegraph for downgrading primary schools inspection results, stating that failing to teach about gender identity was a contributing factor. Plus leaked letters from Stonewall whining that Inspectors weren't talking to primary children enough about trans issues

https://archive.ph/L987K

The risk to schools for failing to dance to the trans tune was massive. Ofsted have now reverse ferreted but without any apology. The new guidance from the DfE shows they recognise the damage they've enabled - but again no public acknowledgement.

So now schools have to manage new guidance, numerous activist staff egged on by the Unions to ignore the law and changes with no public acknowledgment that all the powerful organisations were wrong.

How do teachers, health professionals, doctors, therapists, surgeons not see they are grifting for money and kudos and not see reality and truth?

@BlueLegume
Two things stood out for me, from the Gender Clinician blog:

As a clinician or as a service, you give them what they want. Everybody’s happy. You can feel quite righteous, I suppose,

and

when I work in the psychotherapy service, that’s where I think. And when I come to the gender clinic, that’s where I don’t think. I just do what’s asked of me.”

Remember (I think we all can) that job you hated, really f*ing hated, but you got to that point in the job where you could roll out of bed, drag yourself into work, turn on the autopilot, and get through the day by thinking about the bills you were going to be able to pay, the clothes you could buy, and the lovely things you'd be able to do that weekend (not AT WORK)?

And maybe there's a nice, small team of you who all hate your jobs, but you keep each other going, and nobody can afford to quit, so you turn your brain off and make the best of it?

I'll bet we've all had jobs like that, and we can do it for quite a while before the stress just starts to wear us down.

I imagine it must have been something similar for a lot of those people who knew something felt off, but if you have to get through your day, you just turn off the warning signs.

But, I never had the power to ruin someone else's life except for firing them for being incompetent. It must take a huge switch to turn off the "caring" if you are a medic of any kind. Some medics (and we've seen the evidence in employment tribunals) seem to be able to access that switch more easily than other people.

Just switch off the brain, do as you're told, take your salary, keep your job. We really only hear about those who lost their jobs.

@MarcTheGenderSkeptic I think also some people love A Cause and to be seen as one of the Good Guys. Just as sticking up a Pride flag is cheap and easy PR, some of these supporters have thought it's an easy cause to support, costs them nothing- they don't really have to do anything and they don't think it will negatively affect them. It's also what's fashionable. How else to explain protests with a mismatch of placards about Palestine, "trans rights" and pro sex work. Why are those 3 issues so often lumped together?

I read that Piddington has a Lib Dem MP, which made me think so liberal until it's an issue on their doorstep. Lots of people think they are oh so open minded and "kind" until it impacts them.

Can anyone explain the medical aspect please, around Louise needing oestrogen? Men in their 60s don't, is that because testosterone protects them but Louise, having had their testicles removed, doesn't produce it?

Louise is about getting a bit carried away about Scott, given they only started dating in June. Bit quick and unhealthy to be citing him as your reason to live after 3 ish months.

I work in therapy, but for myself. Meaning I've avoided all groupthink mantras. I could have gone down a more NHS psychotherapy route as well. Or instead trained as a doctor or nurse. Yet when I was younger going into this line of work, I was way more left coded, and more malleable into groupthink.
I'm sure I'd have been a lot more Omnicause, ramped up being vertically and horizontally radicalised in social justice matters, trans likely massive amongst these.
I can genuinely see my "sliding doors" self banging on about the feelings of trans trumping the red lines of women had I stayed in the rigid group mentality of working in the NHS, education or academia.
And had that happened, there'd be very little impetus for me to challenge my own "thinking" or try to extricate myself.
My working life would be replete with a team building where social justice ethos and thus pro trans would be my everyday professional language.
"First do no harm" can be flipped on its head when the "kindness" engendered by luxury beliefs systems replaces hard truths and genuine reflective wisdom for people needing help.

Louise is about getting a bit carried away about Scott, given they only started dating in June.

This caught my attention too.

That’s such a good explanation! I have often look back and thought that way about my younger self in different situations.

I think this is exactly what goes on and has been going on in those clinics and with the wider population, too.

Bear in mind Walter Boumann and Jon Arcelus, who run the Nottingham gender clinic, were both very high up in WPATH.

I do think there is 'joined up thinking' happening at those levels, I'm afraid.

Operation Let them Speak. As long as others get to put reality out this kind of thing is only helpful.

Some of the comments accuse Nick of falling for "Louise's" line. We don't think this is true. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is let people expose themselves in their own words. The venom directed at women is undisguised here.

The post from the gender clinician was incredibly upsetting. Real harm has been taking place

I'm sure there is. But it still takes a compliant culture for motivated bad faith actor(vists) to coordinate things.
I'm more and more reading Róisín Michaux talking about the NGO activists who are manouvreing things at WHO, UN and especially EU level.
Again, they're working with a compliant Be Kind professional culture to enact the legal side of this revolution.

Well. Kids have been sterilised and will require lifelong medical care. But on the plus side, it's made a lot of money! And some surgeons got to try out novel ideas.

And some people got to be Who They Really Are.

The NHS has made arse covering and buck passing Olympic sports.

I'm going to sneak in a little plug here for Athena Forum, who are trying to hold the EU to account over these issues.
