I read this book last year, because I was genuinely curious. It talks more about the narrative around transgenderism than judging it. It definitely does not incite violence or hate, it's about things like Youtubers selling it as this all-curing things. Coaching kids on what to say to get hormones fast. The absolute batshit facts like using hormones without a concrete end game and judging the effectiveness on... the person's looks. Hormones, that influence function, but all they do is look at if the girl got enough facial hair to her liking and if she likes her voice.

Many of the points it brings up are super interesting. Like some doctor, who claims mastectomies on young girl are okay, because they can just go get implants if they change their minds. Which is interesting, knowing the increasing talk about Breast Implant Illness.

The transgender lobby is a cult and I am 1000% sure it's rooted in some very sick fetish for children.

This specific book is actually more about girls, often mentally and physically ill ones, pretending to be male to kind of "avoid" their problems. Like they think their issues fitting in stem from being born in the wrong body, instead of things like motor skill issues and autism.

I don't necessarily agree with you. In some cases, sure. But I would also consider avoidance of your problems in both directions. This explains why often they have criminal histories and serious problems before transitioning. They believe this gives them a whole new start. Oh, you beat your children or raped someone before? No, that was someone else, you are a new person.

Also, sexual fetishes. Look at grown men who dress and act like their idea of cute young girls and women dressing and behaving like barely pubescent boys. It's absolutely sexual fetishism, it doesn't show an actual picture of the opposite gender, but a highly fetishised one.

Dr. Money was also a man. You can't claim he had no freaking agency, but was both the evil mastermind and also the unknowing, mislead puppet of the evil women.

A bunch of them didn't actually go back. If I remember correctly, most of the ones mentioned in the book did not. The book was mostly about the fact that at this point, they can't, because they got things done too fast and they can't just be turned back.

So why is it that women are the ones to blame when a male pedophile does male pedophile things?

This is something I don't understand about your logic. You somehow visualise women being evil behind every single thing happening, even when men do it, just with the added element of "but women made him do it".
You diminish the evil of certain people if they were male, so you can blame women for it all.

Do you think he wouldn't have been a pedophile on his own?
The gay community also has an insane amount of pedophiles. Men who are 100% not interested in women. How is that women's fault?

There is an easy psychological answer to this question. Why would someone, presumably a man, think that when other men do something evil it was women who made him do it?

Of course it isn't okay. But like this was a person who was smart and put-together enough to work his way up in academia. He isn't some half-crazed, foaming at the mouth beast that has a handler. This guy knew what he was doing and he was going to do it no matter what.
It's not like he was an absolute nothing basement-dwelling Chr is Chan who got artificially elevated regardless of what or who he was.

You're not engaging with a sane human being. He should be mercilessly mocked or ignored and little else.

There is literally no information or evidence that can be put in front of you that will cause you to even hesitate in your stance, which is how we can identify that your views are not rooted in reality. Everyone should ignore you or mock you for it.

The tradcuck telling me that I'm not rooted in reality

The guy whose beliefs preserved humanity for 250,000 years tells genetic dead end that he is not rooted in reality. Sounds right to me. Anyone who had your beliefs, has been weeded out by history by failing to reproduce, as you will be in this generation. We will all be the better for it.

The Halifax library had bought 2 copies of my book. 2 was too many for the activists. Do you know why libraries stock my book? It's because parents request them - parents who are tired of only getting one side of the story.

You’re gonna shit yourself when you discover there’s a whole biology section

Halifax Pride ended their partnership with HPL over this: https://archive.ph/q1RK5

The full statement is written in gender cultspeak, and I have no idea what book they're talking about. (They don't name the author because then Cis Voldemort will be summoned, apparently)

The absolute egomania of these people. "We told you what to do and you didn't do it. What kind of monster are you?"

Library: "We're a fucking Library. We're going to take whatever money and attention we can get, okay?"

Rainbow Activists: "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

It's gotten longer?

AAPI.

Grouping random groups together so you can grab political power by activisming for an imaginary interest group.

Socialism 101.

"The People's Liberation Front and Popular Liberation Force have re-organized into the Popular Liberation Front under the coalition of The People's Front for a Democratic Society."

"Who are we fighting again?"

"East Asia, I think."

"And who are you?"

"An ally at the moment."

That face when a guy named FeminismIsACult can't even keep up with the nonsense of Feminism.

To be fair, after my tenth or so spirit, I have been told I can act a bit queer, too. Maybe they're just lightweights?

It's kind of funny that people assume you're mocking the LG movement when you say things like "LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP", when that's LEGITIMATELY what GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS are calling it in some cases. And that acronym forgets "2SMAP", I know off-hand.
