Reverend, Intersex traveler, wanderer, and independent journalist.

I lived in the margins. I bled through the cracks. I write from a place between memory and disappearance. If you’re reading this, maybe you’ve been here too.

(They/Them)
To be clear, I think this is the reason for why they did this whack "5-year trial study." It's really a cover for P-hacking a foregone conclusion that they have—not "we're banning it now!" outright, but implicit in that no one gets the meds for half a decade and seeds further barriers down the line.

It's like they all read Raymond’s 1979 "The Transsexual Empire" and got Demolition Man'd in cryo-freeze for 50 years. I'm surprised Helen Joyce and the rest of the TERFSquad aren't complaining about trans people having equal access to the 3 seashells.

The goal will never be to "Outlaw trans puberty blockers." It will be "Oh, these medicines are SoooOOooOOo Daaangerous! We must take ~precautions~! The process has SooOoOoOOoo much Regretttt! We must take ~precautions~! TERFs don't ever get new ideas because their leaders are the same exact weirdos.

Janice Raymond's writing in the 70's specifically said the government shouldn't outlaw transition, but make the hoops so complex and the regulations so insurmountable as to render it nearly impossible for all but a tiny number. This is their long-term playbook and they've been running it ever since.

She conveniently gets put in the House of Lords around the time all of this happens, as if it's a quid-pro-quo for being the one to provide the weapon used to hurt trans people across the world. After all of this, she's doing media and being taken seriously by compromised British press. Brilliant.

Let me get this straight: People are still taking her opinion seriously when she has a.) no formal training or experience treating trans people, b.) had ties to anti-trans astro(TERF)ing organizations c.) did her study with help from the same people who did Florida's gender care ban?

3.) The TA grades with detailed corrections. “See!? The woke trans TA lectured me about my beliefs and tried to indoctrinate me, or dare I say… ‘Groom me to trans’!”

4.) If the TA had offered to discuss the paper outside of the feedback: “See, they pressured me because of my faith!”

No way to win.

1.) The TA gives a zero. TA is accused of bias by the student. “See!? The woke trans TA punished me for my deeply held religious beliefs!”

2.) If the TA took the alternate path and graded generously: “See!? Professors and the woke academics are passing students that don’t meet academic standards.

One, a college-level student would never write a paper like that if they were doing honest work. Someone doing political theater would, though. Two, the TA was in a position that any choice could be seen as some form of bias.

There was no way to win. This was a setup.

This is a common tactic of theirs. They pretend everything was Mayberry RFD and Andy Griffith halcyon gender utopia until some murky point in the 2010s, then roll back laws or fight protections that have existed for decades beyond. It's a bait and switch using outrage to obfuscate the damage done.
December 3, 2025 at 1:18 PM
Just pointing out here is that this policy has existed, even informally, for over 50 years. Transphobic rhetoric includes this deep assertion that "It was all okay until 2010 or 2015, when the WoKe StArTeD!" It's the same for the US passport gender marker policy (The 90s). They're reaching way back.

By passively dismissing this or allowing them to continue using this false dichotomy for sex, it puts anyone who holds the correct, factual viewpoint that sex is a spectrum of biological and neurological features, at a disadvantage before the discussion even begins. Which is the GC's goal.

The BBC is a propaganda outlet that identifies as serious journalism.

I'd like someone to point out that there's no such thing as a "biological male" or "biological female." It's scientifically inaccurate. Sex is a spectrum that transition "nudges" in a direction. BBC uses TERFcode as default.

How *serendipitous* and *completely coincidental* that right wing influencers were given marching orders to call for trans people to be removed from society, at the same time as Ronny Jackson and Nancy Mace call for involuntarily committing trans people. All of this has happened in the past month.

Pointing this out is considered "extremism" because defending one's self against attacks is framed as violence. Much like a boxer were DQ'd for blocking jabs during a prize fight. Much like someone running from ICE is now classified as "violence" that is up a GAZILLION PERCENT according to the DOJ.

Much like Florida announcing the destruction of rainbow crosswalks conveniently around the time someone complains in London. Much like DeSantis' handpicked minions were involved in crafting the Cass Review. They are all fed by the same money, the same people, the same religious fundamentalists.

Gullibility is seeing Heritage Foundation fronts like this conveniently come up with supporting evidence for the brand new, days-old "TIVE" paperwork crafted by...Heritage, and not seeing the connections. If we plan to resist these things, we must understand the systems-level processes of dealing.
September 28, 2025 at 7:07 AM
The outrage machine will make any connection to trans people or LGBTQIA+ people, and the attempts are so absurd. Spotify profiles with "artists celebrating trans" and trans roommates. It's not that far from Ken Paxton demanding all donut holes be surgically grafted back into their respective donuts.

The truth.
September 15, 2025 at 11:53 PM
Again and again my name comes up. "There can be life after lactose!" on Fox and Friends. "THE IRREVERSIBLE HARM OF CHEDDAR" in the WSJ. And over 600 appearances, no large media or editor stops to ask, "Hey, why is it always
@kintsugighost.bsky.social
on these things? Why do they drive a Bentley?"

Imagine if back in '94 I ate a cheeseburger that upset my stomach, so for the next 31 years I went on a world speaking tour against dairy foods. I was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to appear on Fox and in the Wall Street Journal to bash milk shakes, cheese and ice cream, and lobby to ban it.
