    "You fucking donkeys" G. Ramsay

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-sty…

    Five years ago, Professor Miroslav Djordjevic, the world-leading genital reconstructive surgeon, received a patient at his Belgrade clinic. It was a transgender patient who had surgery at a different clinic to remove male genitalia - and had since changed their mind.

    That was the first time Professor Djordjevic had ever been contacted to perform a so-called "reversal" surgery. Over the next six months, another six people also approached him, similarly wanting to reverse their procedures. They came from countries all over the Western world, Britain included, united by an acute sense of regret. At present, Professor Djordjevic has a further six prospective people in discussions with his clinic about reversals and two currently undergoing the process itself; reattaching the male genitalia is a complex procedure and takes several operations over the course of a year to fully complete, at a cost of some $18,000.

    Those wishing the reversal, Professor Djordjevic says, have spoken to him about crippling levels of depression following their transition and in some cases even contemplated suicide. "It can be a real disaster to hear these stories," says the 52-year-old. And yet, in the main part, they are not being heard.

    Last week, it was alleged that Bath Spa University has turned down an application for research on gender reassignment reversal because it was a subject deemed "potentially politically incorrect". James Caspian, a psychotherapist who specialises in working with transgender people, suggested the research after a conversation with Professor Djordjevic in 2014 at a London restaurant where the Serbian told him about the number of reversals he was seeing, and the lack of academic rigour on the subject.

    According to Mr Caspian, the university initially approved his proposal to research "detransitioning". He then amassed some preliminary findings that suggested a growing number of young people - particularly young women - were transitioning their gender and then regretting it.

    "Definitely reversal surgery and regret in transgender persons is one of the very hot topics," he says. "Generally, we have to support all research in this field."

    Professor Djordjevic, who has 22 years' experience of genital reconstructive surgery, operates under strict guidelines. Before any surgery, patients must undergo psychiatric evaluation for a minimum of between one and two years, followed by a hormonal evaluation and therapy. He also requests two professional letters of recommendation for each person and attempts to remain in contact for as long as possible following the surgery. Currently, he still speaks with 80 per cent of his former patients.

    Following conversations with those upon whom he has helped perform reversals, Professor Djordjevic says he has real concerns about the level of psychiatric evaluation and counselling that people receive elsewhere before gender reassignment first takes place.

    Prof Djordjevic fears money is at the root of the problem, and says his reversal patients have told him about making initial inquiries to surgeries and simply being asked to send a cheque in return.

    "I have heard stories of people visiting surgeries who only checked if they had the money to pay," he says. "We have to stop this. As a community, we have to make very strong rules: nobody who wants to make this type of surgery or just make money can be allowed to do so."

    To date, all of his reversals have been transgender women aged over 30 wanting to restore their male genitalia. Over the last two decades, the average age of his patients has more than halved, from 45 to 21. While the World Professional Association for Transgender Health guidelines currently state nobody under the age of 18 should undergo surgery, Prof Djordjevic fears this age limit could soon be reduced to include minors. Were that to happen, he says, he would refuse to abide by the rules. "I'm afraid what will happen five to 10 years later with this person," he says. "It is more than about surgery; it's an issue of human rights. I could not accept them as a patient as I'd be afraid what would happen to their mind."

    Mario Lopez Apologizes for 'Ignorant and Insensitive' Comments About Parenting Transgender Kids

    https://people.com/tv/mario-lope…

    “Look, I’m never one to tell anyone how to parent their kids, obviously, and I think if you come from a place of love, you really can’t go wrong,” he said. “But at the same time, my God, if you’re 3 years old and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way, or you think you’re a boy or a girl or whatever the case may be, I just think it’s dangerous as a parent to make that determination then — ‘Okay, well then you’re going to be a boy or a girl,’ whatever the case may be. It’s sort of alarming and my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on.”

    In the aftermath of 2017’s It, Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise the Dancing Clown became something of a gay icon. Between memes and makeup tutorials, Pennywise was everywhere — he and another monstrous LGBTQ+ favorite, the Babadook, were seen as #couplegoals. But after seeing It Chapter Two, I’m sad to announce that Pennywise is not gay, or even an ally. In fact, Pennywise is surprisingly anti-queer.

    “Do they go back and also try to look at things the person might’ve done, or are they just looking for the bad stuff? I mean you could honestly do that to anybody. We’re not running for office, when is this gonna fucking end?”

    “You millennials, you’re a bunch of rats, all of you,” Burr added. “None of them care. All they want to do is get people in trouble.”

    "The number of young people seeking gender transition is at an all-time high but we hear very little, if anything, about those who may come to regret their decision.
    There is currently no data to reflect the number who may be unhappy in their new gender or who may opt to detransition to their biological sex."

    ...because this type of research is still a taboo

    • It's a well researched topic because psychological assesment continues after transition. There's also cases of regret from detransitioning and re-transition.sr_rosa

    A University of Illinois math professor believes that algebra and geometry perpetuate “white privilege” because Greek terms give Caucasians unearned credit for the subject.

    But that isn’t the professor’s only complaint. She also believes that evaluations for math proficiency perpetuates discrimination against minority students, if they do worse than their white counterparts.

    “On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness,” she argues with complete sincerity, according to Campus Reform. “Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White.”

    Charles Murray, author of the famous book The Bell Curve, which explains variations in IQ in America, held a lecture at Middlebury College. His lecture was thwarted, the students screamed while Murray tried to talk. Local professor Allison Stanger tried to debate him -- with no success. When she tried to take Murray out of the campus, they were both attacked and beaten up. The professor was concussed, broke her neck etc.

    American professors are now massively complaining about the students. The students require censorship, safe spaces and trigger warnings, while the professors demand freedom of speech.
    In the 60s it used to be the students who demanded freedom of speech, and university authorities fought against it and beat up the students. Now the students try to silence those who speak against the official ideology.

    The new generation of Americans will be exactly this; putting burqa on their women, gag the professors and demand massive executions for unorthodoxy.
