> And btw hormone blockers are not harmless. Untrue. We’ve been using them for more than 30 years for kids who start puberty at a super young age (it’s called precocious puberty). And as best as science can tell, those kids are healthy when they grow up

Puberty blockers are not safe. That's true. Their relative risk is judged against suicide, an all too common outcome among untreated trans kids (and adults).
A similar travesty of justice happened in Italy in the late 90s with a bunch of parents going to jail, their kids being taken away by the local child protection services, parents committing suicide from the trauma etc. Two decades later, as part of an investigation, the kids (now adults) came out as saying that they were brainwashed, they were pressured into confessions of satanic rituals in the local cemetery, of bl…
Absolutely horrible. As always, all these things that made no sense at all, boiled down to certain people trying to gain something/make money. It was never about saving the kids :(
It never is (see the chat control ideas of the EU Commission).

Moral panic gone mad!
In Norway, this fire was lit by a high ranking police officer in the state criminal police, it's "FBI". Many people was hurt, falsely convicted and many lives was destroyed. In the police, and in the child abuse industry, money was made and careers built on these lies. The police officer who brought this mental pest to Norway was eventually arrested, naked, hiding behind a bush in his neighbors garden - spying on a l…
> I think it was Hermann Hesse who wrote that "If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us." People who have experienced trauma from the actions of people can hate other people who they think are doing the same sort of actions. I guess it could be argued that you hate the response you have to a person's actions, and thus hate that thing tha…

2. More unarmed white people are killed by police than unarmed black people. So are whites the oppressed group? (
3. Bringing up George Floyd as "proof" for wokist ideas is exactly evidence for a moral panic, because it appeals purely to emotion with complete disregard of and in contradiction to the actual facts. So thanks!
4. Trans people are more free than they have been in history, and there is no societal movement to "ban" them from "existing". That is just the hyperbolic language of catastrophization that is one of the common and extremely tiresome tactics. Society has some laws and customs that segregate the sexes, largely to protect women. In many of these areas, trans-women can be and are accommodated, but some are sensitive and rightly contested.
> During the penalty phase of the trial, a prosecutor said that Willingham's tattoo of a skull and serpent fit the profile of a sociopath. Two medical experts confirmed the theory. A psychologist was asked to interpret Willingham's Iron Maiden poster. He said that a picture of a fist punching through a skull signified violence and death. He added that Willingham's Led Zeppelin poster of a fallen angel was "many times" an indicator of "cultive-type" activities.
The difference is that it is too late to exonerate Willingham since he was executed in 2004.
Funny coincidence that some of the most outspoken ANTI-LGBT people get caught doing the very things they claim to despise.
