Dear Readers, Your Humble Author does her best to keep you informed of the myriad forms of craziness in the transgender extremist universe. And they are simply mind boggling, from scientists and medical professionals who should know better to your average Jane and Joe Q Progressive who are well-meaning, deluded, and/or willfully ignorant.

Women’s eNews is yet another former women’s org who has been captured. So Your Author was surprised to see this article called My Son is Pregnant, but his Wife had a Miscarriage. The author quite correctly decries how women are blamed for everything that goes wrong in a pregnancy while their male partners are congratulated when things go right. The author misses the irony when she writes
But this, where the holder, the keeper, the nurturer — the only one who is risking her life where an average of 260,000 women die each year during childbirth and pregnancy worldwide, becomes invisible, obliterated, vaporized, even? Absolutely not! My mouth dropped open in response, but no words came out.
Uhhh… Dr Sokol? You do realize that your Women’s eNews site erases women every single day with oxymorons like “pregnant people” and “people with a cervix” and “inclusion” of males in women’s athletics? Then you actually complain about female erasure when others do the same things as you?
Pot, meet kettle.
From the BBC we have 'Brain scars': The hidden forms of sexism that harm women's health. An otherwise fine article contains a few sentences complaining that “trans women [sic] suffer too,” continuing the proud practice of transgender extremists usurping real human rights issues to benefit only them. The author also uses “gender” when she means sex-based. The Beeb writes:
Subtle sexism that pervades everyday life often gets shrugged off. But research shows it can still have lasting psychological effects – including “thinning” parts of the brain.
…
The effects on women’s health, unsurprisingly, can be consequential and not always immediately visible. A large study analysing over 7,800 brain scans across 29 countries found that societal gender [sic] imbalances physically change women’s brains. The research showed that women living in countries with higher gender inequality had thinner cortical thickness in brain regions associated with emotional control, resilience and stress-related disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The article describes how women and girls suffer physical brain alterations from the constant stress of misogyny. Your Author recommends reading it and complaining to the Beeb about the trans crap.
Journalist Andrew Sullivan commemorates Ten Years Of Marriage Equality and analyzes the tremendous good same-sex marriage has been for LGB Americans while denouncing the alphabet-soup agitators who are ruining everything.
The goal was to re-marginalize us as “queer” again, to indoctrinate kids with leftist lies about human biology, and create an entirely fake history of gay and lesbian rights. Dissent was punished, old leaders ousted, and an ever-expanding alphabet of ever-more bizarre and niche identities — often approaching mental illness — replaced any idea of gay and lesbian identity.
They changed the flag and merged its colors with the BLM movement; they pioneered untested medical experiments on pre-pubescent children with gender dysphoria, including gay and lesbian kids; they sterilized them and rendered many incapable of orgasm for life; they perverted the English language — “chest-feeding” anyone? — and tried to abolish the whole idea of homosexuality as a distinct human experience, in favor of their generalized, post-modern [sic], intersectional queerness. And they replaced the principles of live-and-let-live by forcing others to take the knee to their radicalism. No-enemies-to-the-left syndrome became a pandemic. Sore winners.
…
[The queers] told [young people] that being gay included relationships with women as well as men. They replaced gay identity with “2SLGBTQIA+” ideology. They told them they were victims from Day One. No wonder that generation has reversed the gains in psychological health the older generations had won. The queers and the Internet fucked an entire generation up, and made them miserable. In a period of far greater acceptance, and full civil rights, making gay kids more depressed is quite an achievement and an extraordinary indictment.
Sullivan’s money quote is:
There is something easy about victimhood, after all. Everything wrong is someone else’s fault always. Any argument is ended by identity: whoever is more “oppressed” wins.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Read Sullivan’s article. He is one prominent gay man who publicly opposes gender ideology.
Speaking of highly educated people who should know better, the flagship journal of the American Cancer Society reports some very good news. By now, Dear Readers may expect some bullshit, and indeed here it is.
This update expands the 2020 American Cancer Society (ACS) cervical cancer screening guideline for average-risk women and individuals with a cervix who are at average risk, to include self-collection for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and revised guidance for exiting cervical cancer screening. Self-collected vaginal specimens, a method of primary HPV testing, align with the ACS cervical cancer screening guideline. [Emphasis added.]
“Individuals with a cervix?” Paraphrasing JK Rowling, don’t we have a word for that? Uh… that word is WOMEN. If you have a cervix and a vagina, you are a woman. Stop the rubbish of “individuals with a cervix.” Even males who have cosmetic surgery to approximate the female phenotype do not get a faux cervix. They do get an artificially constructed orifice that is no way a vagina. Males do not need screening for cervical cancer.
SMH.
If you thought THAT was bad, get a load of this: ‘This Has Gone Way Too Far': Videos Show Bizarre Sexual Ceremony That Elite Amherst College Pushes All First Year Students To Attend.
Amherst College was founded over two centuries ago to prepare young Christian men for the ministry. Today, however, the prestigious college has become a hotbed of administratively sanctioned sex performances and “sexual skills” programs, with a focus on “queer” and transgender students and on free-sex practices such as polyamory. The graphic nature of school-sanctioned sex events has made many current Amherst students deeply uncomfortable, according to students who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.
Do watch the videos.
If I had a kid attending Amherst, I’d seriously want to withdraw her/him. THIS is what my $93,000 annual tuition buys??
…Shudder…
Dear Readers, if you’ve read this far, you desperately need some brain bleach. Your Author certainly does. So here it is.
