EXCLUSIVE: American Academy of Pediatrics Named In Bombshell Detransitioner Lawsuit | The Daily Wire

A woman who was pumped with testosterone and underwent hormone therapy when she was a young teenager is suing both her doctors and the American Academy of Pediatrics, which her lawyers say has knowingly lied about the impact of the radical sex-change treatments it recommends, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire.

The lawsuit not only goes after the doctors who treated Ayala, but also the American Academy of Pediatrics, where Rafferty and his colleagues worked to publish a now-infamous policy statement advocating for aggressive gender treatments for children. Lawyers for Ayala say the policy statement laid the groundwork for an “entirely new model of treatment” based on “outright fraudulent representations” of scientific proof.

Rafferty was the lead author for the policy statement, and the lawsuit argues he’s used it to launch his medical career.

“[Rafferty] has gone from a little-known resident during his time drafting the Gender Policy Statement to having a highly successful practice in pediatric gender care and considered a leading authority on the subject, all while operating under the imprimatur of the authority he falsely created,” it says.

Among the other doctors involved in treating Ayala at the Hasbro Children’s Hospital Gender Clinic in Rhode Island was Dr. Michelle Forcier, a proponent of so-called “gender affirming care” for children whose perspective was featured in Walsh’s “What Is A Woman?” documentary. Ayala told Forcier that she was “increasingly depressed and anxious” with the testosterone treatments, but she did nothing to intervene.

The lawsuit argues that Forcier has also boosted her career through advocacy for radical treatments, pointing to her appearing in the “What Is A Woman?” documentary. The lawsuit notes that Forcier “was prominently featured in one of the most viewed documentaries of all time in 2022 as a leading expert in pediatric gender care and puberty blockers.”

In the interview, Forcier denies the existence of reality when it comes to gender. Asked whether it’s possible to know the gender of a chicken laying an egg, Forcier stated that it’s only possible to assign that chicken a gender.

The lawsuit comes as the number of detransitioners who regret undergoing sex-change treatments spike in the United States. Nonprofit group Do No Harm published a “Detransitioner Bill Of Rights” earlier this month, laying out a legislative blueprint for empowering victims to go after medical professionals who administered treatments and help with reversing the effects of gender transition surgeries.

Japan’s top court says trans sterilisation requirement unconstitutional – BBC News

Japan’s Supreme Court has ruled that it is unconstitutional to require citizens to be sterilised before they can officially change genders.

The 2004 law said people could only change their gender if they have no reproductive capacity.

Wednesday’s ruling came after a transgender woman filed a petition challenging the law.

Japan is one of 18 countries that mandate the sterilisation surgery – a requirement that is also opposed by the World Health Organization.

[S]ome groups opposed to the law being changed had argued that if people were allowed to change their registered gender without surgery, it could result in women feeling unsafe. They also argued that it could cause legal confusion.

Message from Zoe Hatch to Green Party Members |UK

Dear ….., I received notification today that Joe Hudson-Small, Melanie Earp and John Macefield have voted to suspend me from the party for the email I sent to you on 13th October titled Green Party Women under attack. These named individuals are the ‘on call’ members of GPRC who are supposed to protect the party from the most egregious threats to its reputation. My alleged offence was to send an email talking about how Green Party Women are under attack. The attack on Green Party Women has now been made more clear than ever before, for that at least we perhaps owe them a debt of gratitude. The fervent behaviour of the zealots within the party who are intent on silencing women are the ones bringing the party into disrepute – and it has got to stop. NOW.

As members are aware I am leading the GPW project to compile a dossier of evidence for the EHRC detailing discrimination and detriment towards women on the basis of their Gender Critical (GC) views. Being put on NFS has the intention of denying me access to any of the benefits of party membership and consequently silencing my voice.

EXCLUSIVE: Lesbian detransitioner with multiple personality disorder who escaped cult sues medics who prescribed her testosterone after deciding she was transgender, causing painful and permanent side effects | Daily Mail Online

A North Carolina lesbian slammed doctors who led her down a path of transitioning as a ‘fractured and unstable’ adolescent, despite suffering from multiple personality disorder.

Layton Ulery took aim at high-profile medical doctors in a bombshell lawsuit obtained by DailyMail.com, where she claimed that her ‘mind and body’ were inhabited by eight separate identities after almost two decades of abuse at the hands of a cult.

After enduring 18 years of ‘sexual, physical and psychological torment’, which also included conversion therapy to ‘cure’ her from being a lesbian, she left the cult in 2015, while the trauma at the time saw her personality splinter into separate identities.

Eventually, after receiving help from a separate group that led to her merging her multiple identities into one, she was able to see that her symptoms were not gender dysphoria.

Instead, she concluded that it was ‘body dysmorphia brought about by a late puberty, childhood bullying, trauma from sexual assaults, and an unhealthy perspective that she could never achieve the beauty of all the women she encountered on social media and TV.’

She adds that her decision to sue her practitioners over five years later was due to seeing stories of other ‘detransitioners’, who helped her realize that she had allegedly been pressured and coerced into medical treatments she didn’t need or want.

Mother wins landmark court ruling to stop child having private trans treatment

A mother has won the first High Court ruling to stop her child, who believes they are the opposite sex, being treated outside the NHS.
The interim order, made in August, prevents the woman’s ex-husband from allowing the 15-year-old to receive private transgender treatment and sets a precedent for cases where divorced parents disagree about what treatment should be given to a child who believes they are the opposite sex. A full hearing will take place in the family division of the High Court next week.
Her solicitor, Paul Conrathe of Sinclairslaw, said: “This case takes place against a backdrop of increasing concern about the safety and effectiveness of puberty blocking and cross-sex hormone treatment for gender-questioning children. The court has been sufficiently concerned to take the unusual step of making an interim order preventing my client’s child from being treated outside the NHS.”

‘Being trans or non-binary is a new sub-culture… but we risk raising a nation of chemically castrated children’: Doctor who spent 12 years working with vulnerable patients at the Tavistock warns over gender ideology | Daily Mail Online

EXCLUSIVE: Dr Az Hakeem (pictured) worked at the Tavistock and Portman Foundation Trust for 12 years and is the author of Detrans: When Transition Is Not The Solution.

It is unclear how many trans people who have a sex change detransition. Dr Hakeem said trans activists often claim it is one per cent, but this was ‘made up’.

He added the reality is that no one knows, because sex changes are ‘the only medical or surgical intervention for which there is no follow-up data collected or follow-up studies’.

He said 26 per cent of his patients at the Tavistock and Portman regretted transitioning.

Dr Hakeem said: ‘They are left in this situation of being adults with no genitals who the services don’t want to see and the trans community disowns.

By saying trans, Dr Hakeem said, ‘You’re lumping [transexuals] together people who have fetishes – men who get excited about wearing women’s clothes, and then men who fantasise about having a vagina and breasts.’

He added: ‘Kids are all identifying as trans or non-binary.

‘It’s become a new subculture. I was a post-punk goth. The current subculture is not a medical condition.

‘They are not really trans, it’s just the cool thing to do. When I was a teenage goth there was no goth identity clinic, luckily.

Dr Hakeem said it was completely normal for a child to question their gender.

However, instead of asking children why are thinking that, many people are simply agreeing with them, or ‘affirming’ their choice.

He said: ‘There’s a big push for affirmation only. Affirmation is not therapy, it’s a form of grooming.

‘We cart them off to gender clinics and physically castrate them.

‘Proper therapy is asking the child how they came to that conclusion, not just to say “yes you are [trans]”.

‘There’s this myth that people are born in the wrong body.’

He added that the existence of scores of different genders was ‘nonsense’.

‘It’s not evidence based. They have captured schools, the police, universities.

‘It’s a bit like people in a cult. They believe it. They are not psychopathic, malicious people.

‘They have been scared into believing his. If you’re not with them you’re against them.

US: Trans-Identified Male Musician Calls For Murder Of Women Critical Of Gender Ideology At San Francisco Performance

A trans-identified male musician in California is currently touring and performing songs calling for the murder of women critical of gender identity ideology. Precious Child, who previously involved himself in the Wi Spa controversy, utilizes graphic sexual and violent threats against “TERFs” in his music.

During his most recent performance at the Knockout Bar in San Francisco, Precious Child performed his song “TERF Killer,” riling the audience into chanting “kill a TERF today.”

Precious Child was profiled sympathetically by The Guardian in 2021 after he became embroiled in a controversy surrounding the admission of a trans-identified male into the women’s section of Wi Spa, a Korean-style spa in Los Angeles.

Darren Agee Merager, a convicted criminal with a long record including indecent exposure, was identified as the man who entered the women’s section while nude.

Merager had previously been banned from Wi Spa in 2019 due to complaints of having an erection in the women’s section, yet was able to enter in 2021 on account of wearing a mask.

Around the same time Merager was identified, Precious Child released a music video titled Tear Up, in which he is seen assaulting women in a spa with a large, penis-like weapon.

Maxim Australia Names Trans-Identified Male Football Coach In “Hottest 100 Women” List – The Publica

A transgender former football champion has made the Maxim Australia’s Hot 100 list for the second year in a row, prompting confusion amongst Aussie netizens. The list, intended to highlight the most successful and beautiful women in entertainment, sports, and pop culture, ranked Danielle Laidley in 92nd place.

As well as losing contact with his family after coming out, Laidley, who is over 6-feet tall, was arrested in May 2020 for stalking a woman after bombarding the victim, a former tenant, with over 100 menacing phone calls, emails and text messages.

”I am going to ram you with the car when you leave,” Laidley reportedly said to the woman, calling her a “slut” and a “cunt.” When police arrived, Laidley was wearing a dress, makeup, and a blond wig. A plastic bag containing 0.43g of methamphetamine crystals was found tucked into his bra.

During the trial, Laidley’s lawyer blamed his behavior on “gender dysphoria.”

Laidley’s inclusion on Maxim Australia‘s Hot 100 list prompted discussion on social media after lawyer and commentator Katherine Deves called attention to it on X (formerly Twitter).

“Fucking hell. The level of piss taking with this is of epic proportions,” one user responded to Deves.

“Seriously? Is stalking women ok if you’re a man in a dress,” another asked.

PORTUGAL: Trans-Identified Male Sentenced for Killing Elderly Father, Stabbing Mother

A trans-identified male in Portugal has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for the brutal killing of his father and attempted murder of his mother in what was described in court as a “psychotic” episode.

Tânia Ferrinho, 43, violently stabbed his bedridden mother before turning on his father in a horrific incident that occurred last fall in Samora Correia. The court heard how Ferrinho’s elderly parents, Carlos and Maria, both 77 years old, had suffered numerous instances of violence at the hands of their son, and had already taken out a court order banning him from approaching them leading up to the stabbings.

Commenting on the footage of Ferrinho stabbing his father, presiding judge Sónia Vicente expressed shock at both the brutality and the lack of remorse seen on the part of Ferrinho.

Ferrinho’s case first became known to the wider public after media reported that female prison guards had refused to conduct strip searches on him during his detention in a women’s prison. Despite retaining a male sexual organ, Ferrinho demanded to be searched by women guards at the Tires Prison Establishment.

After an hour, two female guards ultimately conducted the search “under protest.”

Portugal passed a law allowing sex self-identification in 2018, but Ferrinho’s case is said to be the first known instance of a clash between female prison staff and a violent trans-identified male inmate. Reports of the incident note that the guards “fear the arrival of new transgender inmates.”

Transgender world champion fencer branded ‘entitled cheat’

A transgender fencer competing in the over-70s women’s category has been branded an “entitled cheat” after beating a 14-time champion for a world title.

Liz Kocab, representing America, claimed victory over Finland’s Marja-Liisa Someroja, 77,  in the Women’s Epee of the 2023 Veteran Fencing World Championships in Florida over the weekend.

The competitor complained about the inclusion of another trans woman, Edin Philpot, telling the Daily Mail it felt “unfair, ill-thought and short-sighted”.

Before transitioning, Ms Philpot competed in men’s events and has been competing in women’s events since 2022, winning four gold medals and two silver in a matter of months.

As a student, Ms Kocab competed in a male championship team and was inducted into the Detroit Mercy Titans Hall of Fame in 1987.
