The reason most of us have been talking about this and not much else for the last few years is we're just gobsmacked about
a) how horrific it is, the worst misogyny many of us have seen in our lifetimes, as well as an epic medical scandal of child sterilisation being
b) supported and pushed by the media, publishing, politicians, corporates, academia and the police
c) based on an ideology which is as factual as Dianetics or Creationism, where the evidence debunking it is copious and readily available and
d) where everyone's afraid to speak against it, despite its non factual, pseudo religious nature, due to violent threats and
e) where lots of people, mostly women, have LOST THEIR JOBS for even questioning it, despite the factual nature of their questions while
f) people and organisations who REALLY should know better and should have been the very ones helping seem not only blind to it, they are shamefully cheering it on, disseminating fictions and happily demonising and lying about whistleblowers, people who have done nothing wrong, while imagining themselves righteous progressives and crusaders.
It's truly appalling, and I still can't believe some of you and how easily led, complacent, lacking critical thought and boundaries, and unquestioning you are. Watching your lazy, tribal enabling which has allowed this vicious hatred and bigotry to continue unchecked against people with integrity who did not deserve ANY of your opprobrium is almost as horrific as the violent misogyny & the medical scandals themselves. Unforgivable.

“We will take your children away if you don’t immediately act as if you also believe the self-declared cross-sex identity they came up with last week is an incontrovertible physical fact and allow them to begin experimental drug regimes, well I say ‘experimental’, but obviously I don’t mean in the sense that we’re going to keep track of what actually happens later.”
