Sure I can. Watch: It is not being pushed. I'm on my phone so I can't back that up, but we've already established in this thread that is sufficient grounds to be believed.

Yeah you can say that, but then you just signal that you don't want to be taken seriously. Not sure how you manage to live in so much denial, but if you can truly pull it off, congratulations! May it work out well for you!

Not taking the word of a random web comment who makes extraordinary claims with no evidence is not any denial at all, in fact. It's working wonderfully, and will continue to do so for many generations.

>unfortunately no En version of the page For the best. My blood is fucking boiling. I can't even imagine what these families were put through, this is beyond horrible. This is the work of demons indeed!

Only a human can be demonic.

People believing that masses of children are literally getting surgery, circumcision notwithstanding, is a result of a persistent campaign to cause panic. And it's the same hucksters selling fear to the same religious reactionaries. New day, new apocalyptic scapegoat.

It's happening regardless of the disingenous "it's not happening" claims. Here's some reading for you. There are many more examples. Cute swipe at religion though. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11377391/Age-just...

1. Nobody claims it's not happening at all, that's you moving the goalpost.

2. You're kinda proving my point; the Daily Mail is one of the sensationalist tabloids that were flogging the Satanic Panic bullshit back in the day.

Academics? At least in what I've seen of the US satanic panic, there were no academics that I know of. Journalists, police consultants, quack shrinks (I forgot which kind of psy.* they were), political and religious authorities, and generally people who had some power and/or money to gain from the panic.

GP posted an article by someone who was then (and appears to still be[1]) a professor of psychology at Pepperdine. If he's not an academic then we are fairly far into "no true Scottsman" at this point. [edit] I also forgot about the Bragas who were child psychologists at the University of Miami who have been accused by defendants (and their team) of inducing false allegations that put at least 3 people in jail. 1: ht…

In that case, my bad.

Show me the lies in the article instead of attacking the publisher. Bad faith argument.

If all indications you have seen for the topic being pushed on kids are my comments, you are in extreme denial.

Many gay people now say the trans thing is the new conversion therapy for gay people, as they try to convince a lot of them that they are actually another gender.

The people pushing transitioning as a solution for kids emotional issues.

Can't even kneel on someone's neck for several minutes until they cease whimpering about shortness of breath any more. Moral panic gone mad!

Not really what happened, was it? It's what you were told happened, though.

It's what the coroner told us happened, yes. It's also what the video evidence we saw with our own eyes said had happened. It seems very likely to be what really happened, unless you have evidence you're hiding from everyone else.
