"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (paraphrasing Voltaire)

I’m going to unpack some of this. 1. The premise that women are unknowingly carting around a Y (with SRY) is massively over exaggerated. The risk of Surprise SRY is minimal. 2. The risk of Surprise SRY is, however, non-zero. But in reproductively healthy women who have had periods and, more definitively, had kids is as near to zero as one can map in science. 3. That is, if you are a person who got a period before 16yo (ish), who has ever been pregnant or who has had the kind of screens that are offered to women (like cervical screening) without any drama, I’d bet my house you don’t have SRY. 4. If you have proof you have popped eggs and/or seen your ovaries, you would be almost singular (literally in the scientific record, the second case to my knowledge) if you also have SRY, functional or otherwise. If that’s me, with my entirely healthy reproductive system and physiology, I’m writing myself into a paper. 5. If you are born appearing female but actually carting around a Y with an SRY, it will almost always make it’s presence felt during puberty. You won’t menstruate, your GP might then discover unusual anatomy etc. Nobody in the U.K. should be getting Surprise SRY. 6. Ironically, Mums to boys are the most likely confounder (via fetal microchimerism). It should not need to be said that picking up some cells from the baby boy you’ve carried in your belly doesn’t change your sex. The carrying of the baby boy, almost certainly from your own egg, refutes that. 🙄 7. If, despite being an apparently healthy woman, you get a Surprise SRY, that means you’re an interesting woman, not a man. It also means that you won’t be excluded from female sport. Because whatever your genetics, sport is divided on bodies. 8. The lay person’s fascination with genetics and the cultural position that DSDs are “just normal variation” has led a fair amount of even normally-sensible people down a dumb rabbit hole. They are medical conditions that are really rare. 1/20k is a binned frequency that we use in genetics to describe things that are really rare. It’s not a measured number, it’s almost qualitative.

“Childhood–onset deviant sexual arousal is one of the strongest predictors of lifelong offending.” - FBI profiler Candice DeLong This includes little boys who secretly dress in their mother’s or a sister’s clothes. We all know why they do it, and it’s not because they think they’re really girls.

The queer threat to gay pride, by Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) Within the gay and lesbian world, the policing of even mild dissent is oppressive. What I disagree with is a new, hard-Left, genderqueer political agenda — which has nothing to do with gays and lesbians at all, except that it actually endangers LG children with gender dysphoria, and threatens women’s rights as well. I don’t have the slightest problem with people calling themselves queer and innovating whatever lifestyles they want. God bless them. I simply have a problem saying that 6% should define and brand the other 94% of relative normies. Some truly ugly forces have seized on this own-goal by the queers to ramp up real hatred of gays and trans people. Read more below ⬇️ buff.ly/m3Zq8oo

The chilling effect is most clear when you look at what happened to Ken Zucker. In 2015 Dr Ken Zucker got sacked from his position since 1981 as clinical lead of the gender services in Canada. When Zucker was taken down, he was known to be the most respected world expert on gender issues in kids. Consequently, clinicians across the world immediately silenced themselves. The thinking was that if trans activists could take down Zucker then they could take down anyone. I’ve heard GIDS clinicians from the Tavistock describe how the news of Zucker being sacked caused shockwaves at GIDS. Zucker later won $586000 in compensation from the clinic but the damage was done. The same chilling effect happened when the @IrishTimes pandered to trans activists in the student union in 2021. Journalists across Ireland released that if the Irish Times were toeing the line, then it’d be a brave fool who went against this. (From then on I became blacklisted from the Irish mainstream media but luckily my work was valued elsewhere). Then the following summer, June 2022, Joe Duffy allowed himself to be silenced by @rte and that was the death knell to free thought about trans issues in the Irish mainstream media. Again the thought process was that if Joe Duffy could be silenced - and he could - then anyone could be. Just like Ken Zucker with gender therapy, the impact sent shockwaves through Irish journalism. Sadly, rather than having the integrity to admit they’ve been silenced, the Irish journalists now try to keep their self-respect by pretending that they just have other more important things to write about. It’s insult upon injury but this is where we are

To people making videos talking about this so-called “gender debate”, here’s a tip. Please understand that that the SECOND you use the word “cís”, every syllable that came before & uttered after, is rendered null & void. How you haven’t grasped this by now is anyone’s guess…🤷

Hello all. A quick update from me. My sex screen assay is progressing well. I promised rapid: I can detect SRY from a cheek swab in about 30 minutes. I am currently testing whether I can drop it to 10 minutes without compromising reliability. I promised cheap: The current cost per assay is about £2. I am currently testing whether I can drop this to below the pound line, and it’s very promising. I promised accessible: The assay could be run by any grassroots sports coach, school nurse, and my Mum. I promised on-site: This is where my lab efforts are currently focussed. I’ve always held “from the UK to Uganda” as a principle, and ensuring easy deployment is crucial. I’m currently learning a lot of materials science… The other main push is setting up various blinded, larger-scale tests. This will require lots of form filling. If anyone wants to help me hit my final budget target, my crowdfunder is here.

Kanskje @NRKno bør revurdere hvordan de dekker disse sakene? Nå ser det jo ut til at selv storebror BBC har begynt å se annerledes på dette saksfeltet.
