"Hi, my daughter was radicalised into believing she's not a girl, and now has these intrusive thoughts about cutting off her own breasts, and says everyone hates her and wants her dead. She's stopped talking to her own family and we just noticed she's posting online death threats to her favourite childhood author... Can you please help her?"

"Sorry madam, we can't interfere—that would be conversion therapy."

You'd be arrested for having been radicalized if you suggest she shouldn't get the comic-sized frankenstein dick.

You're confusing sexuality with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalization

[–]slushpilot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

No, this has nothing to do with sexuality. I'm referencing the facts that:

  1. Online enclaves of mostly children—with the help of adults grooming them—are expressing violent threats wherever women assert to still hold basic rights afforded on the basis of their sex. (See: JK Rowling)

  2. Online, these children learn to believe things about gender that lead them to radical steps like surgical mutilation of their own body that they will regret once they realize they were misled to believe crazy things, i.e. radicalized. (See: Keira Bell)

  3. Online radicals encourage children to disown their real family and join their "glitter family" (See: Rhys McKinnon / Rachel McKinnon / Veronica Ivy or whatever that con artist is calling himself this month.)

  4. Laws against "conversion therapy"—originally designed to protect people's sexuality (gay/lesbian)—are paradoxically being applied to gender identity in the same breath. In case it's not clear, protecting "gender identity" means letting girls that are just figuring out puberty believe they are men, and supporting the above insanity. (See: Canadian Bill C-6)

Thanks for this.

My reference is to the video, which was created by this government anti-terrorism group: https://act.campaign.gov.uk/

I think I may see your point that 'radicalisation' can include the promotion of 'radical' interests in Sex reassignment surgery (SRS), which is technically gender reassignment surgery (GRS). In the UK (not sure about the US), this is considered a basic human right, to have the gender you identify with, but I the only part of this I might know anything about is the 'human right' issue. I don't know why people want GRS, and especially why they want this at a young age (eg. kids of 14 or 15 wanting this). I'd agree this is radical, but it's not the UK usage of that word, 'radical' in the video or in general. As for those who would actually want to convince kids to undergo GRS, I have no idea about this, but will see if I can find out more about it.

Yes, that makes sense. A precise definition of radicalization is slippery without naming a specific set of beliefs, and I'm admittedly being loose with that. Personally, I would think that calling for physical threats against individuals over their opinions would be covered. It's really the same thing as blasphemy—why should "kill the TERF" be treated any differently than "Death to the infidel"?

The human rights issue is very confused right now and I'm glad you brought it up. It seems that even organizations like Amnesty don't understand who they are denouncing and openly claiming "don't deserve political representation" when they support this gender identity nonsense without question. (I sincerely hope they only misunderstand it. The alternative is unthinkable.)

I would encourage you to watch at least a short bit of the videos embedded in this article, to get a sense of who is on the other side of this issue: https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/is-eddie-izzard-a-lesbian

You won't find any neutral or positive opinions of women like this or the LGB Alliance in the cowardly press, though. We somehow got to a point where saying "he's not a woman" speaks against the new fundamentalist orthodoxy and any woman who says it must be brought to heel.

That's a radical extremist belief—at least to me and my old-fashioned liberal values.

I saw that a few weeks ago and thought it was satire.

It is very hard for people to accept the truth of the real world. We really are all in a controlled fake reality. It's easier to think of those people talking about truth as being radicalized than to think about what they are saying with a critical mind. Most people will go the easier way...

Can't tell you how many people on reddit say "get help" as some type of response to a conspiracy with evidence... there is a post on the front page there right now about people people radicalized...no people are waking up to what you did to them and their ancestors. you people upvoting are the ones being radicalized lol...

My only hope is the depressing thought that Virtual Reality headsets will become the last source of safety for free communication.

Everbody's got a usename. If someone is using their real name don't talk to them, it'd be too risky. Never give a location or time of day. Remember to fake an accent to be extra safe.

Nobody knows what the other person looks like. Only the avatar they made for themselves.

Imagine having friends you've never met. You've known them for 20 years, but you still can't be sure they won't turn you in for a thought crime at any second. Eventually the day will come. Was your VPN enough? How much information did I accidentally give to them? Find out three days later your parents house were raided on some bullshit charges because you were a Known Trump Supporter back in 19'. Thankfully your billing address wasn't where you slept. Now you're in a mad dash to cross state lines because a hundred miles away the thought crime laws there are different and you stand a better chance in court. Now imagine your grandkid calling you, several states away, asking you why your generation let this madness happen...

January 6th. 2021. All we have to do is show up and stand there for a day. If the people in Tiananmen Square were willing to do it... imagine if they had the ability to stop the tanks.
