Absolutely insane story about a middle-aged woman from Hertfordshire who got arrested, shackled, and detained by ICE and held in a prison for eight weeks.... while on holiday... with a valid tourist visa... as she tried to leave the country.

So the fake and unnecessary research trial for puberty blockers demanded by TERFs - has been paused due to fake concerns raised by other TERFs.

And will restart on kids that have already gone through puberty, rendering the fake trial even more pointless.

Dear l and Team, CONFIDENTIAL Subject: Invitation to discuss proposed amendments to Clinical Trial Protocol 1. I write further to the MHRA's letter of 7t November 2025. As you are aware, there is a great deal of public and professional interest in this trial. MHRA keeps under review all of the representations that have been made. I write now to discuss potential amendments that we believe will strengthen the trial protocol. Implementation of a minimum age restriction 2. We would like to discuss the inclusion of a minimum age for participation in the trial, given the known effects of this agent and the fact that the duration-exposure element of these drugs is significant (adding to the unknown effect of duration-exposure on various stages of Tanner development). Since potentially significant and, as yet, unquantified risk of long-term biological harms is present to participants and biological safety has not been definitively demonstrated in this proposed cohort, at the very least, there should be a graded/stepwise approach starting with those aged 14 as the lower limit of eligibility. Future trials may consider lowering the threshold depending on the findings of the initial trial. From the description of the trial involvement, that for those participants who complete the trial after 2 years but are below the age of 16, it is likely that further GRa treatment could be needed for many years (particularly if participants are significantly below the age of 16 at trial completion) as a bridging measure as cross-sex hormones are only prescribable from the age of 16. 3. There is a risk that broad Tanner stage inclusion introduces heterogeneity that the study is not powered to address. 4. Another factor is that the expected effects of the drugs include the sterilising effect of puberty blockers followed by cross sex hormones and that gamete retrieval to preserve fertility is not possible at the stage when puberty blockers are given (Tanner stage 2) as neither sperm nor ova h…

the Secretary of State on the proposed permanent order to restrict the sale and supply of GNRHa in CYP<18 years (dated 13 November 2024) Recommendation 7 states: "A clear exit strategy needs to be put into place for continuation of GRH agonists when exiting the trial if this is the pathway agreed with the patient and/or parents or carers. This should be accompanied by data collection on the efficacy and safety of the GnRH agonists." For children recruited to the Trial below 14 years of age there will be potentially many years of therapy to bridge to the point of age 16. Therefore, a minimum age of 14 might be a way to avoid a long bridge and will allow any participant in the trial to have all options available to them after the 2 years trial. Ensuring the full suite of options are available will also allow the trial to assess fully the extent to which participants choose different options and how they are impacted by them. Suggested Amendment to the Trial Protoco! Inclusion criteria 4 4. 14 years or older at the time of consent. Safety monitoring and withdrawal criteria 6. The MHRA recognises that this TIMP is already being used in precocious puberty. However, unlike patients with precocious puberty, the proposed cohort in this trial have normal biological hormonal and sexual development but a psychological condition of gender dysphoria. This of itself would not preclude an off-label use within the confines of a trial. However, the MHRA would like to explore the inclusion of much more detailed physiological safety assessment for this biologically healthy cohort. The statistically powered primary endpoint being presented is the KIDSCREEN10 QOL questionnaire. However, in this situation, the physiological and adverse pharmacological impacts may long outlast and outweigh any QoL detected differences: (a) Bone effects- It is recognised that short-term bone effects of triptorelin may sometimes be reversible. However, available data suggests treatment with triptorelin beyo…

criteria at 12 months if this point is not already clear. See MHRA recommendation below. (b) Vaginal bleeding- There is a risk of flare-up effects in very young children who may not be able to report these developments; this is another reason why we suggest a minimum age limit should be introduced. In any event, for all participants we would like to discuss the provision of haematological monitoring, particularly if it persists beyond 2 weeks, as is sometimes seen when this agent is used in endometriosis treatment. Regular haematological monitoring in cases of bleeding beyond 2 weeks is suggested. Potential loss of fertility- It is widely understood that reduction in gametogenesis will very likely cause infertility in these young people. These are medically consequential effects for a future adult individual that may involve infertility treatment and significant medical interventions. In light of the long term fertility consequences, Gillick Competence for consent as per RCPCH and the Academy of Medical Sciences Guidelines (academy of medical royal colleges statement on gillick competency fina | 003.pdf) guidance on consent in children under 16 years of age should be sought. We suggest that this should be assessed and documented before consent is obtained using tools such as Gillick Competency checklist (Microsoft Word - Gillick Competence 2016 update.doc). Given the suggested changes, we would expect that an amendment would be submitted to HRA and the REC would want to look again at whether their decision that the consent process is acceptable still stands. (d) Cognitive effects- We recommend that advice from independent clinical experts in neurocognition and brain imaging should be sought to advise what degree of adverse BOLD fRI signal change between scans would necessitate withdrawal from the study. We would like to discuss this as a key safety assessment measure at 12 months. Recommended Amendments to Individual Participant Withdrawal Criteria 7. We would like …

• Persistent Vaginal bleeding beyond 2 weeks could be considered as discontinuation criteria and to additionally require close follow-up with Haematological monitoring (FBC). • Cognitive effects - Withdrawal criteria if adverse functional MRI changes detected at any time point could be added. Advice to be sought by research team from experts in neuroimaging to clarify degree of adverse signal that would necessitate participant withdrawal at any scan but crucially at the 12 month point if an adverse signal of change from baseline is detected in order to prevent further harm to participants. We suggest that a meeting should be set to discuss the above matters, to include the Sponsor team, the MHRA and the HRA. As you will know, there is also potential legal action in relation to this trial which we are in the process of considering to determine whether, in our view, there are any further matters which impinge upon safety or efficacy that should also be considered alongside the issues set out above. If so, we will write to you as soon as possible. Please let us know your availability for a meeting next week. Yours sincerely

‘gender critical’ transphobes have brow-beaten the MHRA to raise the minimum age of the puberty blocker trial to 14 - making blockers pointless for many trans kids already a significant way through puberty! 😤

They’re trying to stop kids transitioning ANY way they can!

screenshot from the linked-to timeline that reads: February 20, 2016: Insofar as I can tell, the first ever claim that "social contagion" is turning kids transgender. It occurs as a comment on the 4thwavenow.com "About" page, posted on February 20, 2016 at 5:27pm, under the handle "skepticaltherapist." Shortly thereafter, 4thwavenow.com turned this comment into its own post, called... February 29, 2016: 4thwavenow.com publishes "Tumblr snags another girl, but her therapist-mom knows a thing or two about social contagion." As noted in the previous entry, this is skepticaltherapist's earlier comment, posted along with a brief intro from the folks at 4thwavenow. There are several potentially noteworthy things about it, and the comments that follow it: o It begins by referencing a Star Trek TNG episode in which the crew becomes addicted to an alien video game, then makes the following analogy: "The alien mind control device made its way into my home about two years ago when my then eleven-year-old daughter begged me for a Tumblr account since her friends all had one." o In the piece, skepticaltherapist describes herself as a psychotherapist, later adding, "As a therapist, I mostly work with adults."

precisely 10 years ago today, the concept of "transgender social contagion" was first invented on the now infamous anti-trans parent website 4thWaveNow. a full timeline of how the concept spread (not unlike a "social contagion") can be found here: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2019/02/orig...

It's really disturbing how in the mid 2010s there were several regularly active trans journalists in the British mainstream press and presently there's like maybe 2 who occasionally get some token comment somewhere when someone's given us a kicking.

How Palantir captured the Ministry of Defence

How a close read of public domain documents show how MoD was commercially colonised by Palantir

By me, at FT

Put it this way: the main online cisgender understanding of the trans community by career journalists is that the trans community are unreasonably shrill and constantly tear them apart over coverage.

This is a direct result of a media environment where cis journalists have no correction in print.

*very* striking to me that trump's two big losses at SCOUTS--first the fed, now tariffs--are both about core macroeconomic institutions, namely free trade and an independent central bank. "go nuts on culture, go nuts on immigration, but DO NOT TOUCH the neoliberal consensus"

So, just to recap, we have two random DOGE bros with basically no knowledge or experience in the humanities (and at least one of whom is a college dropout), who just went around terminating grants that had gone through a full grant application process by feeding in a list of culture war grievance terms, selecting out the grant titles based on the appearance of seemingly “woke” words, then asking ChatGPT “yo, tell me this is DEI” and then sending termination emails the next day from a private server and forging the director’s signature. This is what “government efficiency” looks like in practice: two guys with zero relevant experience, a keyword list built on culture war grievances, and a chatbot confidently spitting out 120-character verdicts on federal grants that went through actual review processes. The experts who might have explained what these grants actually do? Locked out. The director whose signature appeared on termination letters? Couldn’t tell you which grants got cut or w

Ever wondered how your grant got cancelled? No we know. Some college dropout asked ChatGPT "is it DEI/woke"?

What a monster!

BROOKE GLADSTONE: The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter - PAUL McMULLAN: Oh, yeah - BROOKE GLADSTONE: - which is one case that you truly do regret. PAUL McMULLAN: I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station. Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: And you offered her 50 pounds - PAUL MCMULLAN: Yeah. BROOKE GLADSTONE: - if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for. PAUL McMULLAN: No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless? PAUL McMULLAN: I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I? BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself. PAUL McMULLAN: Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.
