I sat down with
@TullipR
to talk about his experience with trans vaginoplasty. He was lied to by doctors and surgeons and has experienced awful medical problems following the surgery. He is now suing the NHS. Check out the interview here:
It's true: I was fired last night for my feminist stance. The twitter mob came for me and my employer and my employer immediately terminated me. If you've been through something similar please reach out...
"It's psychologically hard to cope with being punished for just knowing the truth."
@salltweets
is going to court today in Australia for daring to tell the truth: that a man can't be a woman. It's what many of us have been fired, arrested, and otherwise punished for saying. Sall
I'm looking to speak with former patients of Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher for an article I'm working on. If you or someone you know was a patient of hers, please get in touch/reply to this tweet! Particularly hoping to talk with someone who was a minor at the time.
I believe in trans rights. I support trans people. I also believe that biology is real and that 2+2=4.
I wholeheartedly condemn prejudice, discrimination, bullying, and violence.
I wrote this piece on Dr. Gallagher for a large publication who later decided not to run it. I know it's hard to have this conversation, but people need to see the truth about trans surgeries on minors. I made a substack and posted the article here:
I see women as a distinct political class but not to the detriment of others' rights. That is not hateful or bigoted. Does that mean I shouldn't have a job? We can't think critically about anything if we're afraid to think...even if that means being afraid to make a mistake.
This is the same type of person who got me fired and destroyed my career as a literary agent because I know what a woman is... There are kids being cut up in the name of their ideology and guys like this are somehow controlling the whole debate
That crazy application with the million gender options? That wasn't just a random job application. It is the application to the City University of New York Law School.
@what_now_ffs
@SwainsonHJ
I just can't get over how there are no options for man and woman. I had to decline to answer because no way am I choosing "cis female"
Then the form asks for your pronouns and if you ID as LGBTQ2IA+ (weird how it goes from hyper individualized labels to lumping all these different groups in together)
My name is Sasha White. I was blacklisted from an entire industry for opposing gender identity ideology. I abhor cancel mobs and people who can't take disagreement or questioning of their views. If you do this, I don't care who you are. I will not take kindly. Any questions?
“I’m an ex patient of Gender Identity Clinics where I was prescribed dangerous, experimental drugs and received a double mastectomy procedure. I am fighting to stop this from happening to minors.”

! Here’s her story in her own words:
I'm in touch with a medical student at a top tier university who wants to give an interview on how professors are teaching that "sex is a social construct," and avoiding the words "male" and "female" for fear of offending. What questions might you have for this young student?
I'm not trying to represent any perfect ideal. I'm just someone who has had an intellectual arc, like many people. I've sometimes reacted defensively to what I see as ongoing pressure on hard won women's rights.
Classic experiment that shows how most of us go along with the group even when we don’t believe what they’re saying. This has got to be why so many people today parrot “trans woman are women,” a statement that clearly goes against the evidence of our own eyes
I was fired from my job as a literary agent for tweeting about pronouns. Women have long been told to shut up about their thoughts and experiences and today is no different. Anyone concerned about gender-identity ideology is shunned, says

My 3 axioms/principles in the gender debates:
1. Trans people, like all people, deserve and have a right to respect, dignity, lives free of discrimination and abuse for being trans
2. Humans are sexually dimorphic. Changing one's sex is impossible. Men cannot become women 1/2
Interviewing Graham Linehan this week. Very excited to get to chat with him about a variety of things gender critical, and to give him a chance to respond to

I got booted out of the publishing industry for critiquing pronoun usage on my own time. I would have gladly worked on a book even if I disagreed with the author. I’m personally a leftist but I enjoyed 12 Rules for Life and would have been honored to work on Peterson’s next book.
@jordanbpeterson
I got fired for my tweets (that a woman is an adult human female and no man can become one) and I was devastated. The financial impact has been serious and lasting. But I don't regret speaking the truth for one second. It's weighted on a different scale than material things
🇮🇷 Iran sentences 24-year old Yasaman Aryani to 16 years prison for taking off her hijab in public & filming it. The barbaric regime also sentenced her mother to 16 years in prison.
🇮🇷 Iran is an elected member of the U.N. Commission on Criminal Justice.
I have interviewed scholars, journalists, therapists, lawyers, and trans people on the topic and I agree with this statement. Transing children will be the medical scandal of the century
After talking to some politically neutral lawyers and doctors, my STRONG take is that the whole "trans kids" thing will be seen as a moral disaster on par with lobotomy and Satan worship in the day-cares inside ~20 years.
So, I mean, there's that.
The reason i think pronouns suck is because thinking of people as “they/them” and pretending they’re not male or female is like color/race blindness for gender. It won’t help sexism or toxic masculinity. Men and women have unique and distinct experiences...
Since the

Marginalized groups need free speech rights more than anyone. Without free speech protections, those with power will be able to tell you what you can and can’t say. If you promote cancel culture/censorship you are the one ultimately aligning yourself with oppressive forces
The face of cowardice: Jon Stewart doesn't want to be criticized for his trans jokes in the 90s so he is dedicating himself to the cause of destroying women's spaces, surgically converting gay people, and medically experimenting on kids. He should have stayed on that farm
What is a woman? It’s a question that’s suddenly everywhere, and it turns out the answer is complicated. Jon breaks down the gender binary and gender spectrum in this week’s episode. Stream the free episode now on Apple TV+.
Gallagher markets this surgery to teens on their app, with their slang and their pop songs. She has been reported to the FTC for allegedly engaging in deceptive marketing to minors. I did a deep dive into her social media and found a lot of evidence for that charge.
Author receives thousands of death wishes for book no one had read yet. I personally denounced her as a transphobe as soon as I ordered the book and I can’t wait to finish the first page, stop reading, and throw it on the bonfire.

Point by point rebuttal of this thread by
@zaelefty
is now live on youtube. Zach and I went through each tweet and dissected the ACLU's often circular, vague, and downright incorrect claims. Watch here:
Attacks on trans youth in sports are showing up in dozens of state legislatures nationwide.
These bans are discriminatory, harmful, and unscientific. Here's why ⬇️
When people tune into this debate for the first time and they point to what they perceive as crude or crass comments feminist women have made, they don't see the thousands of times we have heard "STFU terf shithead" and much, much worse.

Lately I’ve been thinking I’m a politically homeless leftist and I have to ask the left, where the hell are you on this issue? This is an anti-working class, regressive movement that’s operating under cover of being progressive.
Some students at Clare College Cambridge are trying to get a college porter fired, purely because he has expressed support for women's rights in his role as a Labour Councillor. The class politics of gender identity extremism laid bare for all to see.
This boy would have ranked 565th in the state for the boys track, but instead he switched to the girls team and took their medals. These guys are brazen cheaters and need to be called out for it.
At Kea’au High School, half of the 'girls' relay team is now boys. One of those boys, Lana (Brandon) Huff, has stolen multiple medals from girls and been granted the "Outstanding Athlete" award.

Nor do I see how what you’ve done here helps correct the impression that the end game for you & your ilk is to intimidate women out of speaking up for our own rights, no matter how low you have to go to do it. 3/3
Dr. Gallagher has openly admitted to removing the breasts of girls as young as fourteen, and has been accused of doing the surgery on even younger patients. Here is a screenshot of one her TikTok videos. She claims that corrections can be made if you are unhappy with your results
Ah yes, I remember my track and field days, when the boys and girls would run against each other. Even the parents would compete sometimes. There’s really no differences since it’s not at an elite level. And did the girls lose every time? Who cares, they’re just sore losers!
The answers from the anonymous med student are here and "C" has blown the whistle on the lies being peddled. C writes: "I have been told multiple times in several classes that biological sex is a social construct – not just gender." Read the answers here:

It’s people like this and the anonymous tweeter who got me fired who are really improving the caliber of the literary world. Nothing screams tolerance like narrowing who’s accepted in the literary industry. I’m sure that won’t backfire on any other groups!
Dr. Gallagher markets trans surgeries to minors on TikTok, claiming that double mastectomy is safe, necessary, and not very painful for teen girls who want it. She has said most of her clients find her through TikTok, where she playfully calls herself Dr. Teetus Deletus.
This is a massive opportunity for “women law students”, created in the name of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which could go to a man if he “lives as a woman and self-identifies as a woman”. How many opportunities will women lose out on before the gender madness ends?

#BidenErasedWomen
Thank you Grace (
@HormoneHangover
) for lending me your thoughts as a former patient of Gallagher. Grace felt horror and pain after her double mastectomy with Dr. Gallagher--a powerful sense of something missing from her body. The surgeon claims on TikTok that regret is very rare
As the Supreme Court today hears a case on Roe v. Wade, let me be very clear. It is a woman who has the right to control her own body, not the government. If men were the ones giving birth, I doubt that this would be in question.
This piece by

On the other hand, the level of intimidation toward those who don’t say TWAW indicates that people weren’t readily willing to say that untruth. If so much bullying is needed, maybe that’s proof that people go along out of fear of punishment rather than just fear of sticking out

How does this sound to everyone? Are we happy that mainstream book publishers will make their editorial process more focused on sensitivity? Who needs subversive books anyway...
To tackle the wider issues this experience has taught us about, we at Picador and Pan Macmillan are reviewing our editorial processes and considering how we implement more rigour in our assessment of manuscripts, including guidance for commissioning sensitivity reads, and more.

Watched the documentary about David Holmes, Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double who was paralyzed after a horrible accident on set of Harry Potter. It was heartbreaking and David is amazing… but
@jk_rowling
was conspicuously absent—not even mentioned. Then I learned Daniel Radcliffe
Last week I posted my article on Dr. Teetus Deletus. This week on Substack I cover why the medical industry has been able to get away with this evil experimentation on children for so long. The answer lies in a brutal censorship campaign.
Some people don't understand why this story matters and think it's just petty beef. Actually, this clash between journalists reveals our current problem with self-censorship, group think, and preference falsification, which are poisoning the media and public dialogue.
By tweeting this, JKR uplifted a brilliant lesbian writer & her work. But then cancel culture came to punish
@JuliaDRobertson
for her defense of lesbians from gender ideology. After this tweet, Julia’s publisher pulled her book. No royalties paid.
The trans movement is always screaming about protecting trans kids. If they actually cared about “trans kids,” they would welcome scrutiny, follow up with kids given experimental drugs & surgery. But instead, they smear and censor anyone who questions them
“When I was in Femen the [death] threats came from the extreme right and the Islamists... But now it's coming from people who call themselves feminists. And I really don't know how to deal with that.” From my conversation with

How will we ever measure the loss of the books that will NOT be published in this era if this is the way the literary world polices discussion of controversial topics and unpopular opinions? Who are your favorite authors who could NEVER have been published in a climate like this?
The future (if not the present) of all workplaces in corporate America, media, entertainment and academia (where the pathology was incubated) can be seen in the tawdry episode described in this thread:
...which should be acknowledged, examined, and critiqued but not obfuscated. Gender nonconformity (with acceptance of biological reality) successfully defies gender roles but switching pronouns reinforces these same roles.
Cancel culture is a spectrum, and

Just want to add my non-sarcastic comment since I care deeply about this: The best girl in high school track (and in cross country) couldn’t hold a candle to the best boy, and she didn’t need to. She could still be a champion because it was split by sex.
I was recently contacted by a 17yr old closeted lesbian who wants to tell her story & share her gender critical views but is understandably scared to reveal herself. Her long and thoughtful email showed the loneliness of her position. Here is her story:
