“‘In my daughter’s class, there are 22 students, and eight of them are now trans,’ says Alejandra, whose daughter was also self-diagnosed as trans at the age of 15, without having previously shown signs of what is clinically called ‘gender dysphoria’.”

. . . . . and those whom we would expect to put a stop to such outrageous nonsense are the very ones who are promoting it.

And regarding the comment about being called transphobic, it is like calling someone a witch in the Middle Ages. It amazes me how people are afraid of this accusation.

Bernard, I understand that Hillary Cass is to come out to speak here in about July. I am not sure if the invitation came from the NAPP alone, or in combination with the RANZCP. If her position is openly supported by both professional bodies perhaps this might encourage some response from , say, AHPRA who might reconsider their hitherto silence in regards to their charter ( to protect vulnerable patients, in this case, minors, from harmful treatment) ? This statuary regulatory body’s position has been that current legislation virtually precludes any regulation based challenge. The social activists have, in effect, successfully bluffed the legislators and , in turn , the relevant statuary body to date. The protection of future vulnerable children will be in the hands of future legislators who might obtain more appropriate advice, than that which has been inexplicably successfully dominated by ideological thinking out of misplaced compassion at best , and social science activism at worst.

Yes, Andrew. There are signs of gender ideology capture of AHPRA. It’s reached the point where it would be surprising to find any government entity not so captured.

AHPRA may find it instructive to learn of the UK’s equivalent regulatory body’s quantum of found responsible in the Tavistock class actions? Perhaps Hillary Cass might be able to inform? Let’s hope her views are openly heard here, she has been verbally abused on public transport at home we hear.

I think our bureaucracy will stay captured until politicians lead reform & amend laws & policies.

I was recently referred to as a bigot because I expressed a positive response to the recommendations of the Cass report.

The misrepresentation of the report is remarkable. Cass used hypersensitive politicised language but it hasn’t protected her work from bad-faith folk.

Fascinating. I’m imagining an entire class of students - not gay ones mind you - who undertake sterilization. It’s really phenomenal. If I was a conspiracy theorist (I’m not) it’s almost as though there was a concerted effort to wipe out generations of children from ever being adults.
