Here's a thread listing all my online writings on the topic of self-identification, gender ideology, science and ethics (or lack thereof) behind these concepts, the consequences of allowing ideology to influence medical treatment and other related matters.

@MattWalshBlog She will damage him by teaching him about consent, physical boundaries and by normalising males equally participating in household chores? Ridiculous man.

@PinkNews As a doctor I can confirm that only females have a cervix. This is important to emphasise especially for trans health, because if you were born a female, regardless of how you identify, you need to have regular cervical smear tests. Stay safe and healthy. xx

For men taking oestrogen and tripping their stomach cramps are a “period”: menstruation is shedding of the lining of the uterus - which you don’t have. There are other hormones involved - which you also don’t have. One has to be female to have a period - you aren’t. See a GP.

@jk_rowling Dear Joanne, as a doctor I echo your concerns. My colleagues and I have been working tirelessly to stop this runaway train and your voice has helped enormously to raise awareness and get general public involved. Elite medical leadership has failed to safeguard the vulnerable.

At exactly this moment, years ago, I was drugged and raped. I live my life in two parts - before and after - ever since then. Don't pity me. Millions of women are raped every day. Help me fight against sex-based oppression. No males in female-only spaces. No ifs, ands or buts.

@jk_rowling @tribunemagazine Your words, courage and kindness have left me speechless to describe my gratitude. As a rape survivor, seeing a man loiter around my bed in a women’s hospital ward nearly cost me my life, as I bolted and nearly died a week later. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏❤️

Frankly I am disgusted, no, revolted with the behaviour of TRAs, that I have experienced a couple of days ago. My crime? A tweet of support to @jk_rowling who has written a thread about the concerns many share regarding unethical medical treatment of children with GD

Women - we did it. After years of shouting into the void, we woke politicians up to the biggest medical scandal of this century. This is the beginning of the end of unethical experimentation on GD children.

As a survivor of male violence and a feminist I often wished I was a lesbian or at least bisexual. Alas, I discovered that despite my best efforts, and the fact I absolutely love women and think they are amazing in every way, I'm #superstraight Can't help it because #SexMatters

@SophieRunning Djokovic is a misogynist and I say this as a Serb and a fan. He is such an enromous disappointment, but is rather typical of Balkan men in his unwavering delusions of male superiority.

@MatthewRozsa @Salon I’m a doctor. There are only two sexes. In humans, males have X and Y chromosomes and if healthy, produce sperm. Women have only X and if healthy produce ova. Sperm and egg unite to produce new life. Abnormalities aren’t additional sexes.

Don't let pro-paedophilia activists bamboozle you - paedophilia is not a sexual orientation, it is a paraphilia, like necrophilia and similar. Paedophiles already have a sexual orientation - homo, hetero or bi - depending on which children they are obsessed with abusing.

I wonder if the current pushing of so-called "asexual identities" is supposed to normalise side effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, which all too often result in sterility, anorgasmia and loss of sexual desire.

Pushing unscientific ideology that "transwomen are women" is transphobia because it erases transwomen as a unique category of human males. Only men can be transwomen and if you were never a male, as current ideology often claims, you were never a transwoman either.

@StudentDocBen I'm a doctor. What have you forgotten about male/female sex binary? Or are you struggling with English? Women are adult human females, otherwise known as humans who do not have a Y chromosome, and DSDs are sex specific. No human in history has changed sex.

There‘s a horrific amount of magical thinking and plain ignorance among transactivists and young people in general thanks to deliberate and systematic attempt to use these rare medical conditions to give validity to the idea that a person can change sex just by declaring it.

@RichardDawkins I remember when this went down and asking the same question - what makes Rachel Dolezal horrid while Caitlyn Jenner is "stunning and brave"? I'm still waiting for that answer, although in the meantime, asking the question became heresy that will be met with violent consequences.

If LGB people decided to hold a Pride march tomorrow, to assert their right to be exclusively same-sex attracted without being told it's "bigoted" or "wrong", I fear we would see the same kind of homophobic attacks on them that we used to see when Pride marches were first held.

Look at the damage just one man has wreaked by infiltrating and taking charge of a women-only service. There are many similar examples throughout the UK and the world. Just one man can destroy what thousands of women took decades to build. Just like that.

@TinaBhartwas @LGBTLabour As a doctor I can confrim that sex is determined at conception and observed at birth. It also can't be changed by any knpown medical procedure. Sister is a female sibling, therefore no male is anyone's sister. Stop sabotaging women's hard won sex-based rights.

@EmergMedDr I'm a medical doctor and can confirm that sex in humans is binary, determined at conception and immutable. For the sake of not bringing medical profession into disrepute, you need to reread your textbooks. Here's a reminder of male/female sex differences👇

@BPSOfficial @TaniaAMarshall @TomHNorton1 @JonathanShedler You have lost your minds. Two scenarios in which a patient might demand a HCP refer to them as "slut" - a traumatised woman or a male fetishist. In either scenario it is unacceptable. Also, clinicians have no obligation to debase themselves by indulging insulting language.

Daniel Radcliffe has inadvertently brought up the fact that medical orgs have been cognitively captured by gender ideology, so I want to write a thread about this, and about the extent to which this can, and cannot, influence individual doctor’s medical practice.

Homophobic abuse of a gay man at a :checks notes: Pride parade. All because he wore LGB Alliance T-shirt. This is what happens when a ton of straight people start calling themselves "queer", gay bashing is not far away.

There’s an orgy of misogynistic abuse right now in the media, directed toward JK Rowling and extended to every woman and girl who fights against men who are demanding access to women-only spaces. I think everyone is finally realising how much men hate women. #ThisIsNotADrill

Gender ideology is one massive psyops. Impersonating the opposite sex is “being authentic”. Rape and death threats toward women is “being kind to transpeople”. The biggest bullies are “the most oppressed minority”. Male cheats in women’s sport “are just another type of woman” Etc

Maya Forstater tribunal highlights how gender cult operates. Orgs are being indoctrinated by lobbyists who are getting carried away with utter nonsense statements, but these cannot be challenged without risking disciplinary procedures. Eventually, everyone is so much on the 1.
