I’m a great believer in going to primary sources for information if I can. The personal accounts of those who have taken part in great battles or major events, whether political or social, or who have experienced lives of triumph, oppression and tragedy often provide an insight into a situation that may both concur or challenge established narratives. For example: The diaries and letters and recorded accounts of those who fought in the World War One trenches of the Western Front can give a different viewpoint of the conflict from those of the Generals and politicians who made the big and often costly, in terms of human lives, strategic decisions. The Generals’ accounts of the decision making process at a WWI headquarters may tell us one thing, but the ones told by ordinary soldiers who took part in battles or the civilians whose lives were also afflicted by the decisions made by the Generals, can tell us much more about the affects of the decisions of leaders.

People in places like the United Kingdom living at the time of World War One did not get a full and honest picture of the conflict. There was press censorship and any warnings that might have come from front line soldiers that some tactics in battle were both useless and overly costly, which might have come to public attention and thereby possibly created pressure for better tactics, were never heard. In other words warnings that could have emerged from first hand primary sources on the battlefield about the ineffectiveness of the big costly battles during trench warfare, were not heard or heeded.

Today things are different. The spread of communications technologies has meant that compared to say the average Briton at home in 1916, the year of the Battle of the Somme, we do know more about what happens when things go wrong and how they go wrong. This applies not just in the field of warfare but also politics and society.

However that doesn’t mean that there are not those who do their utmost to censor voices that transgress particular narratives. One really good example of this is the gender identity ideology pushed by the trans activist community. This relatively small number of people who have unfortunately been given too much credence by media outlets and politicians who should know better, really don’t allow any challenges to their ideology. Trans activists do all they can to silence or disrupt the speech of natal women and others who can see logical errors and indeed dangers in the ideology of gender identity.

The trans activist community has been extremely and sometimes violently censorious when it comes to debating the content and outcomes of their ideology. They brook no challenge or question of their beliefs and often scream abuse and repeat empty, space-filling mantras such as ‘trans women are women’ to those who disagree with them. I’ve had one trans activist threaten to ‘smash my teeth in’ for saying to them that gender ideology should not be aimed at children and that there is no archaeological record of any significant population of a ‘third sex’ existing. That was not in my view very ‘ladylike’ behaviour from him.

The trans activists believe that they should be able to push their ideology without anyone asking awkward questions about it. They vehemently attack, often with monstrous lies and smears, those who say things like transing children is a form of child abuse or those who point out that there exists a growing community of detransitioners. The trans activists desperately want to shut up those who bought into the trans narrative but who are now seeing the evidence in their mutilated bodies and shattered minds. They realise that not only had they personally made mistakes in going down the trans path, but that many of those who could and should have helped them turn away from this path, also bought into the narrative of the trans activists. Those who have been propagandised by the trans activist community and its allies but who have woken up to the often unrepairable damage that has been done to them and who have been mutilated, sterilised and left unable to enjoy a normal sex life, are the spectres at the transgender feast of self obsession, delusion and narcissism. The existence of those who have either desisted from gender treatments or who have belatedly seen their path as wrong for them and who have detransitioned as best they can, are warnings to others. Because there are detransitioners who highlight the flaws in the gender identity ideology, those who promote such ideologies feel that they must silence these heralds of ideological doom in order to keep the transgender show on the road. Ideologies that are built on foundations of lies, lies such as ‘you can change your sex’ or ‘transwomen are women’ or ‘sex is assigned at birth’, don’t like challenge to their ideas. Those who promote such lies really do not like harsh and uncomfortable truths invading their comfortable spaces.

Detransitioners are only just beginning to find their voices but they are voices that have for too long been excluded, often at the behest of trans activists, from mainstream media, social and political cultures in the West. This exclusion of those detransitioners, who are the primary sources of information about some of the problems created by the cult of gender ideology, is as morally and practically wrong as the exclusion of the views of the ordinary WWI soldier who had to fight the battles that the generals, sometimes badly, planned.

The detransitioners often exist in a nowhere world. They are obviously not the sex that they were deluded enough or lied to enough about to believe that they were. They are mutilated men and women, often suffering from the horrendous effects of surgeries and drugs that will have life long and sometimes life limiting consequences. Those who have made transition attempts and who have had masses of support and affirmation from the trans community and from trans activists, often find that if they realise that this path is wrong for them or see that it has done them damage, they get no help from their former friends and supporters in the trans community. Instead they are treated as heretics against the great cult of gender identity and excluded, slagged off and often just basically left to themselves and their physical and mental pain. Detransitioners are the purveyors of the realities that the trans cultists wish to ignore or hide.

In desperation detransitioners are forming online communities and some of them are now quite large. Brett Cooper of the You Tube Channel ‘The Comment Section’ has said that just one Reddit forum alone set up by and for detransitioners contains over 40,000 members. Ms Cooper has done a recent video piece on detransitioners and some of the stories they are telling are horrific ones of people failing to stop very young people from making horrible mistakes with regards to gender transition, for example men having to live with neo-vaginas that don’t work as natural vaginas do and which needs constant medical and often surgical attention. There are also accounts from women who painfully regret losing their breasts in their late teenage years to the pernicious fad of ‘top surgery’, a fad encouraged and promoted by the activists and votaries of the cult of trans and women with massive amounts of scar tissue on their arms and legs from where tissue has been taken to produce non-functioning neo-penises. Even among those who don’t regret their surgeries in this video are seen being honest about the downsides of transition.

Ms Cooper has done the world a sterling service by highlighting the world of those who detransition. It is detransitioners whom the activists from the gender identity cult most dearly wish to silence, as the accounts of detransitioners undermine much of the dishonest propaganda put out by the trans activist community and those who have been taken in by them in government, media, the education sector and the adminisphere.

Please watch Ms Cooper’s video below. It’s an eye opener to see those who are the casualties of the trans cult speaking about their own experiences. Those who detransition are the bearers of warnings about the damage that the cult of trans has done and continues to do. Maybe it’s time for many more people than are doing so at present to start listening to the warnings coming from those who detransition?
