It’s such a prominent topic
“I’m appalled by my party’s stance on trans rights,” says Nadia Whittome, Labour MP for Nottingham East, over the ban on puberty blockers and the government’s response to the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman.
Then she’s a fool. (To be fair, we already knew that.) There’s no such thing as a “right” to receive puberty blockers because you believe you are the sex other than the one your body has. That’s not a right, it’s tampering.
It’s such a prominent topic, that Whittome’s been asked many times by her constituents if she thinks about leaving the party, or if the Labour party – founded by the trade union movement, as a party for the working class – no longer serves her and her beliefs.
Yes, the trade union movement, for the working class – wtf does that have to do with puberty blockers?
Whittome says she’s “really proud that this government’s pledged to half violence against women and girls,” but thinks that the increasing attacks on trans women in the news, the courts and on TV, which are “rooted in very archaic and misogynistic ideology,” are harmful for all women.
Then she’s stupid and wrong.
“If we’re continuing to marginalise and scapegoat trans people, especially trans women, as a threat to other women, that means we’re not focusing on the real problem – men who are violent.”
Trans women are men. The ones who are violent are men who are violent. That’s the whole point.
The number of male violence offenses of stalking, harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence have grown by 37 per cent in the past five years. Trans people, particularly trans women, are far, far more likely to be victims,” she says.
Than women? Where did she get that statistic? Her dreams?
Has reality lapped satire?
Or a “right” to puberty blockers because you’ve been convinced (by adults who should know better), that you are the sex that you are not. I don’t think any child would demand these without having been coached to do so by true believers. Children do not have the maturity to make decisions like this (pace Ms. Theron). Immaturity is what being a child is about. Such choices should not be forced upon them, or extracted from them. They don’t have the mental capacity to understand what “for the rest of your life” even means. When things work out, that capacity comes with age and experience, neither of which children have. In any other situation, children being forced prematurely into adult roles and decision-making is seen as tragic or criminal, as it usually involves some privation or failure on the part of adult guardianship, or its complete absence through traumatic circumstances. Why are children lauded and celebrated when they become victims of a combination of Transhausen by proxy and Trans Away the Gay? Why are their parents feted as brave protectors and gaurdians of “trans kids”, when they are in fact leading them down a path to mutilation, sterility, and arrested growth, through debilitating, experimental “treatments”?
The ban on treating minors is for the protection of the minors at risk of “treatment.” Why do grown-ass adults put the continuation of this abhorent practice above the mental and physical health of children? Given the estimates of around two-thirds desistance for disphoric children, why are these supposedly responsible adults so eager to convert them into “trans kids,” when most of them will grow out of it on their own? Isn’t it better to keep kids out of a lifetime of medicalization? Isn’t an ounce of prevention worth thousands of pounds of “cure”? Clearly, most “trans kids” are made, rather than born; why is the continued production of life-long medical dependents so much more attractive to these people than natural, non-medicalized, non-pathologized puberty?
Are they so eager to produce a demographic for whom they can campaign heroically to “defend?” Are they all closet homophobes, who look approvingly on importing the Iranian solution to their hang-ups? Gay rights areso yesterday! Forced-teaming allows them to hop onto a trendier bandwagon, with fresher woke-cookies! Go them!
Are they actually wedded to the sexualized ghettoization of girls and women, or are they just lazy, knowing that it’s easier for them to allow desperate girls try to escape this role by trying to become boys, rather than putting in the effort to help make the culture safer for them to grow up in, without feeling the need to destroy their bodies, pretending they actually men? How about campaigning heroically for that demographic? Too much work? Not rewardingly glamourous enough? Too much of a risk of being painted as a kink-shaming, whorephobic, anti-sex prude?
Whittome and her fellow outlaw, trans-activist Labour MPs should really have have a good sit-down to think this through. If they really cared about so-called “trans kids”, they would let them grow up into happy, healthy, desisting adults, whose other possible problems and comorbidities can be cared for by professionals who can actually help them, rather than than lying to them by telling troubled children that carving and drugging themselves into crude, unconvincing, non-functional resemblances of something they’re not, and can never be, will solve all of their problems. It won’t; it can’t. They’re not protecting children at all. They’re choosing to champion and defend an ideology which harms them. And where will Whittome & Co.be once the fleeting, placeboid hit of “trans euphoria” inevitably fades, leaving the original mental difficulties of the “patient” untouched, unimproved, and untreated? They’ll be out campaigning for the “right” to spread even more of the same misery by recruiting a new batch of “trans kids” to the whole process, pushing them onto their own, never-ending, life-long, destinationless, “Gender Journeys.” ALL ABOARD?!
Labour/Labour parties no longer serve working class beliefs; they abandoned workers long ago, preferring a seat at the top table along with the Lobster and Champagne dinners. Look at the attacks on workers’ rights and unionism around the world, sometimes authored by and never opposed by these “working class heroes”.
Further evidence of that abandonment, if needed, is that “trans rights” exist outside working class rights. They are a luxury belief indulged in by those who are comfortable enough in life that they don’t have to scrounge behind the couch for loose change, work three jobs to clothe and feed themselves, and be part of the class now known as “the working poor”. This is not an issue that should be close to the hearts of left-wing/Labour politicians while children grow up in poverty, where hospitalisation can bankrupt a family, and where workers are as disposable as a Big Mac wrapper.
‘Whittome says she’s “really proud that this government’s pledged to half violence against women and girls,” but thinks that the increasing attacks on trans women in the news, the courts and on TV, which are “rooted in very archaic and misogynistic ideology,” are harmful for all women.’
I don’t know if it was Whittome herself or the writer of this text, but the word ‘attacks’ so close to the words ‘violence against women and girls’ certainly provides a misleading impression.
The streets of History are littered with the remains of little political parties set up by their founders in the hope of promoting some cause, only to fail for a complex of reasons, but chiefly that the time was not right.
An easier way has been for the small group to ‘enter’ a larger and already-established organisation, in the hope of sooner or later taking it over. The French syndicalists had a tactic they called ‘boring from within’ aimed at entering a larger organisation and working to capture it; saving themselves from the massive task of building their own organisation from scratch.
This short-cutting process has been practiced by many smaller organisations, the most prominent to my mind having been the successful (for a while) attempt by the Catholic Right in Victoria, Australia, to take over the Victorian Branch of the massive Australian Labor Party (ALP). This ultimately caused a split in the ALP in 1955, resulting in a new party, the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) which lasted until the death of its founder (one BA Santamaria). Then it too, collapsed.
The same tactic is found in Nature, hence the term ‘cuckoo in the nest.’ Getting something for nothing has long been a startegy favoured by many: from mosquitoes to tin-pot dictators like Mussolini, and the swarms of such polluting the history of Latin America..

That’s the above post of mine in a nutshell.
https://www.independent.co.uk/lgbt/nadia-whittome-labour-trans-rights-lgbt-b2782927.html
Think of all the time and resources drained away from feminism, trade unionism, environmentalism, nuclear disarmament and other progressive causes, because of this campaign for nebulous “trans rights”.
Whittome wants to give life-altering drugs to gay and disabled minors, and let the definition of “woman” be controlled by p-rn-addicted men. Aren’t there better things for her to be doing?
The word always creates a misleading impression when used to label our awareness that men are not women. It’s the core of this whole brand of “activism.” Call women violent and evil for not agreeing that men are women: bam, there’s your feminism lying dead in a ditch.
YNnB:
And, of course, with puberty blockers, they won’t likely work out. The maturation process which leads to our ability to make better decisions is interrupted, perhaps halted forever, by the puberty blockers, leaving children who are basically infantile forever.
