Father’s letter begging top surgeon to cancel trans operation on ‘depressive’ 20-year-old: ‘Please don’t remove my daughter’s breasts …in just one day you’ll ruin her life for ever ‘ | Daily Mail Online

A distraught father begged in vain for a leading plastic surgeon not to remove his 20-year-old daughter’s breasts in a transgender operation, telling him in an excoriating letter that he was about to destroy her life.

The father told consultant Mohsen El Gammal that his daughter suffered depression, and as a way through ongoing mental health problems had previously turned to self-harm and then starving herself before embracing the ‘trans cult’.

In the heartbreaking letter, he tells Mr El Gammal, who boasts of carrying out 1,000 such operations: ‘Ultimately, my daughter is a depressive.’

The father’s release of his letter to Mr El Gammal follows US tycoon Elon Musk revealing he has ‘lost’ his son Xavier, 20, who is now known as a woman called Vivian after being prescribed gender-change drugs in the pandemic.

SpaceX and Tesla owner Mr Musk denounced ‘gender-affirming care’ as ‘evil’.

The father who wrote to Mr El Gammal said: ‘Women and men can be whatever they want to be.

‘They don’t have to conform to anyone’s stereotypes, and by making them do that we’re leading young people to take life-changing drugs and have life-changing surgery at an age when they don’t really get what the long-term consequences are.’

National rallies against gendered violence hear demands to end culture of victim-blaming as murder number rises – ABC News

In short:

Rallies demanding the eradication of gender-based violence are being held across Australia this weekend.

Organisers say there is an urgent need for more support services aimed at prevention, and changing perpetrator behaviour.

What’s next?

After a dozen demonstrations today, another round of rallies will be held in several states and capital cities tomorrow.

. . . .

About a dozen demonstrations against domestic, family and sexual violence have taken place today including in Canberra, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, Darwin and Hobart, with more events in other capitals and regional centres planned for Sunday.

Among the speakers were victim-survivors, as well as friends and family members of women murdered by partners.

Similar rallies occurred in April, prompting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to declare gender-based violence a “national crisis”, while pledging almost a billion dollars towards practical action.

DES Grandchildren – DES Action USA

You may not be able to tell. Hopefully, your parents told you about DES being part of your family health history. If so, they deserve credit because it is not an easy discussion to have.

What might make you suspect DES exposure? If your mom mentioned having problems such as difficulty getting pregnant, miscarriages or reproductive tract cancers. Or, if there was any family discussion about a drug given to your grandmother while she was pregnant. Then you may be a DES Grandchild and should pay attention to that possibility.

Mice are recognized as good predictors of the human experience. When mice are given DES at the time of development, the resulting health problems in their offspring mirror those seen in human DES Daughters and DES Sons. When their offspring, the DES Grandchildren mice, exhibited health problems, researchers raised a warning flag.

WHAT RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT DES GRANDCHILDREN

  • Delayed Menstruation Regularity,Skipping Periods, Having Preterm Birth Delivery.
  • Uterus Defects (Possible)
  • Grandsons Higher Genital Defect Risk (Possible)
  • Hypospadias
  • Tumor Growth
  • Birth Defects in DES Grandchildren (Possible)
  • Overall Cancer Risk
  • ADHD Risk (Possible

Findings from studies of DES Grandchildren are just beginning so doctors may not have heard of them. Tell your doctor of your DES exposure and that you would like to discuss it further in subsequent visits. Note your exposure on the intake form or request that your doctor do so on your chart.

Currently, there are no special health screenings identified for DES Grandchildren.

It is best to stay aware, not overly concerned but rather informed as research continues into DES Grandchild medical issues.

The ECHR validates French law on prostitution. A victory for all women!

Following a complaint lodged in 2019, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) was called upon to rule on the criminalisation of the purchase of sexual acts, accused of “endangering the physical and psychological integrity and the health of persons in prostitution” and threatening “the right to respect to privacy of prostituted persons and their clients”. In its decision of 25 July, the ECHR unanimously rejected all of these complaints.

We, the grassroots organisations working with thousands of people in prostitution in all countries, survivors of prostitution, and organisations working to combat male violence, welcome this decision by the ECHR. It should be noted that this decision was taken unanimously and without ambiguity. The Court highlights the sustained and democratic nature of the legislative process for the 2016 law and recognises that penalising “clients” is inseparable from the law’s overall provisions. It also acknowledges that no one today has the capacity to establish that the law would have had a detrimental effect on prostituted persons, and points out that the law took extremely thorough account of the social and health situation of prostituted persons.

We state that the Abolitionist model is the approach that guarantees the best protection for all people in prostitution and provides access to their basic rights, first and foremost health.

Only by recognising prostitution as a form of violence can we provide effective support for people in prostitution. What prevents them from accessing their rights is not the law: it’s the lack of enforcement.

Vee Malnar – Ironic Iconic – Tap Gallery

Having juggled a busy life of work, mothering and housework, her ideas on canvas portray a snapshot of ordinary domestic life. Kitchen sinks with piled dishes, washing baskets, mops, brooms and vaccum cleaners, all take centre stage and delight the eye with humour, colour and imagination. But there is also a political statement, either subtle or wildly over the top that is integrated into the work.

“I’d rather paint a pile of dirty dishes, than have to wash them,” says Vee.

Housework has the harsh irony that people only notice when you neglect it. It is still not considered “work” to clean the house, and women in opposite-sex marriages continue to provide more care and household duties than men. Women frequently work two jobs: the paid job they go out to accomplish and the unpaid job they undertake at home. Items utilised for our daily chores at home become irrelevant and overlooked because housework is frequently viewed as a tedious chore. Vee challenges our perceptions of our homes by elevating the commonplace and the ordinary above these assumptions of status. In some of the works, she makes references to domestic abuse and the loneliness of being a single mother, highlighting the darker side of domestic life.

Pornhub Is Still a Crime Scene, Even After Its Rebrand | Opinion – Newsweek

Pornhub is a crime scene. You read that right. The site was purchased by a hastily concocted private equity firm, ironically called Ethical Capital Partners, last year. But its owners are continuing the monetization and global distribution of scores of homemade, user-generated sex videos that were never reliably verified to ensure the individuals in them are not children, rape victims, trafficking victims, or revenge porn victims. Even under new management, the site is still infested with illegal content.

Over the past few years, Pornhub has had a dramatic downfall after being exposed and held accountable for profiting from mass sexual crime. The fallout included the site taking down 80 percent of its videos, totaling 10 million unverified videos and over 30 million images; being completely cut off by Visa, Mastercard, Discover and PayPal; and losing all mainstream advertisers. The CEO and COO of its parent company resigned in disgrace, and the distressed company was sold.

However, it appears the new owners aren’t much better than the old ones.

The new owners of Pornhub renamed the site’s parent company from “MindGeek” to “Aylo” in an attempt to distance it from its toxic reputation as a peddler of sexual crime. But behind the scenes at its Montreal headquarters, men who have been with the company well before it was exposed—men who enabled the global distribution and monetization of victims’ trauma—still occupy executive offices.

Perhaps even more concerning is that the public face of Pornhub’s new ownership, a Canadian criminal defense attorney named Solomon Friedman, advertises his firm’s experience defending men accused of possessing and distributing filmed child sexual abuse and has spoken on his work defending possessors of child sexual abuse material. He even twice congratulated another attorney who got a man off on a technicality who had been in possession of 7,730 images of child sexual abuse, including images of infants being raped by grown men. Does he intend to try and get Pornhub off the hook in the same way? I can assure you the victims of Pornhub won’t allow it.

Since 2020, nearly 300 victims have sued Pornhub in 25 lawsuits for its knowing distribution and monetization of rape and trafficking. These lawsuits include multiple class actions representing tens of thousands of child victims, and the U.S. federal government has criminally charged Pornhub for knowingly profiting from sex trafficking. Just last month, 13 child victims sued Pornhub as well as its owners and financial enablers.

No amount of whitewashing, renaming, and rebranding can hide the truth. As one attorney defending over 100 victims who were trafficked on the site said about the attempted rebrand, “If you swim in a sea of s**t, it’s hard to lose the smell.”

There is no doubt that Pornhub is still a trafficking hub. It’s time to force it, at a minimum, to delete every unverified video on the site.

ALLISON BAILEY LOSES APPEAL AGAINST STONEWALL IN SHOCK JUDGMENT

1. Allison Bailey, the barrister who successfully sued her chambers, Garden Court, for direct discrimination when the chambers put her under investigation following a complaint from LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall about the barrister, who is black and a lesbian.

2. Bailey, who does not believe men can become women, came to prominence in October 2019, when she helped to set up the charity LGB Alliance, and after bringing her landmark discrimination case.

3. Bailey was represented by top silk Ben Cooper KC, who argued, in both the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal, that Stonewall acted unlawfully when they caused or induced the direct discrimination she suffered at the hands of Garden Court Chambers.

4. The Hon. Mr Justice Bourne, sitting in the Employment Appeal Tribunal, did not agree and dismissed Bailey’s case against Stonewall in a judgment that will shock legal commentators, many of whom believe that Stonewall was lucky to escape legal liability in the first place.

. . .

9. In a dramatic twist, Bailey believes that although she has lost her Appeal, the judgment creates legal liability for Stonewall in the area of indirect discrimination and thus further represents a hollow victory for them. Bailey wrote on X/Twitter:
“My case is about direct discrimination, but the judgment also
considers indirect discrimination. There, it appears to establish that
workplace policies of “Stonewall Law” which are implemented
through the Diversity Champions Scheme – e.g. the removal of single
sex spaces – DOES in fact generate legal liability”.

10. Bailey thanked everyone who has supported her and said that she will consider carefully next steps with her legal team.

59 goals to 3: the trans side dominating women’s soccer league

A women’s soccer team that features five transgender players have continued their dominant season following a commanding 12-0 victory over the weekend.

The Flying Bats have won every game in their 2024 campaign with some victories coming by huge margins, the squad have also scored an impressive 59 goals in the Premier League Women’s Division and only conceded three.

The Daily Telegraph has previously spoken to club officials in the North West Sydney League, who say some parents have pulled their daughters out of the games over safety concerns and say the players did not anticipate signing up to play against biological males in the female Sunday comp.

Testicle trouble – by Bernard Lane – Gender Clinic News

A dramatic rise in taxpayer-funded testosterone for females is driven by a prescribing practice of questionable legality, according to University of Queensland emeritus professor of law Patrick Parkinson.

Transgender-identifying girls and women are being prescribed this masculinising hormone supposedly for the male condition “androgen deficiency due to an established testicular disorder.”

This diagnosis enables females who seek “gender-affirming” masculinisation as a transboy or transman to claim publicly funded testosterone under Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). Subsidised testosterone is not available for gender dysphoria.1

“There are huge ethical and legal concerns with doctors claiming that girls and young women have testicles in order to attract a taxpayer subsidy for ‘gender-affirming’ testosterone,” Senator Chandler told GCN earlier this month.
