I am not sure you still live in Canada,Eliza, but thank you for all you do. It troubles me that people think all people who want to keep their kids safe from ideological capture are hateful bigots. Worse than that, thry believe they don't love their kids if they feel like protecting them from something this radical. It's very difficult to bring up when your own circle is captured and when many of them are on board and have what they call trans-kids. I am pretty sure those folks do love their kids, I would never accuse them of that! The allies probably haven't dug deep enough to know how troubling it is or maybe they put blinders on. I think a lot of people equate it to being gay. But being gay, doesn't not require you to have irreversible treatments and surgeries. It is not the same. I understand people wanting to be kind to others. Where does one draw the line ethically, if not here, where kids should be kids.

Also for the record, in Nova Scotia there are 148,000 people waiting for doctors as well. Mine retired in August, so I am in that list. It is every province that has these problems.

I am a little star struck right now. Montreal is a pretty good city overall. I prefer it to most Canadian cities.

Eliza, with pieces like this, I just have to ask ... what does the blue line down the left side signify, and who is the author of the text? Does the blue line mean it's quoted text? Also, is the piece on Unherd longer, or is this the whole thing?

Whoever is speaking, this brings up a lot of good points. Gender surgeries are not cheap, and I don't think the public should pay for them, especially since so many people come to regret them. The trans lobby has made the point that trans people need these surgeries for their emotional health, but that is debatable for a lot of reasons: Because children don't have the emotional maturity to make these choices, and shouldn't be making them anyway until they grow up; because even adults aren't sure of what they want from one moment to the next; because these surgeries are cosmetic, and if the government won't pay for other cosmetic surgeries, why should they pay for these?; because other people's life-saving surgeries are more important than cosmetic surgeries which are just emotionally palliative; etc. (Here in the U.S., cosmetic surgeries are generally not covered by insurance; things may be different in Canada.)

My view is that all of these surgeries should be paid for by the individuals who want them.

I really like this quote:

“If gender identity is fluid, what are the risks of minors rushing into irreversible surgery before their gender identity is more firmly established?” the National Post asks. “Do gender-dysphoric teens have the emotional and cognitive maturity to think through the implications of what might happen if their feelings around gender change?”

I've been saying similar things for ages, but the National Post puts it especially well.

I agree with you. The National Post does put these points very well.

I also agree with you that people who want these surgeries should pay for them, themselves: not the government. This, for the reasons you cited, such as that these identities are merely fluid, the surgeries are cosmetic, etc. And we can also add that the desire for these surgeries is based on sex stereotypes, which are logical fallacies (confusing or conflating social constructs with biological reality) and self-deception; and the claims that these surgeries are "lifesaving" have been "justified" by wildly inaccurate data.

Thank you.

It becomes clearer why gender cult ideologues insist this needless and damaging "gender reassignment" cosmetic surgery is "life-saving", and why they invent the stats to support this lie. It enables gender-indoctrinated kids to jump the queue for real life-saving surgery in countries (like the UK and Canada)with nationalised health systems, and to con medical insurance outfits in the US.

The prospect of medical insurance for "gender-affirming" surgery also having to cover the risk of detransition is heralded as an effective obstacle to many such surgeries in private healthcare.

And a queue of detransitioners -- like Keira Bell in the UK -- sueing the UK's National Health Service (NHS) for malpractice will soon involve NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) in consideration of value-for-money surgery within the NHS, in line with all permitted NHS medical treatment.

Clive Simpson, as a lawyer and gay activist against gender cult ideology, says (in "The Queens Speech" with Dennis Kavanagh (Kavanagh's Substack) "it takes a market to kill a market".

It will take the medical insurance market (with help from detransitioners and public protest) to kill the "gender reassignment" surgery market: as the most damaging part of the kneejerk "gender affirmation" model of "healthcare" (medical abuse) currently ruining kids' lives.

Another brilliant article from you, Eliza Mondegreen!

This is also a great article for American newcomers to this issue, or those who've already been captured.

In fact, I'm going to bookmark it under "Articles for Newbies/the Captured," to send out.

We need more such short and sweet, one-page articles and flyers for the captured, not just long essays and books. I think that's a key reason we have not been succeeding: a lack of myth/fact, or Q-and-A type of brochures (with complete citations to original sources, for credibility) to hand out, to peak people in our day-to-day offline conversations, who we can organize with at the local level, to address these issues at the local level where they so often arise, such as at school board, city pool, or homeless shelter meetings.

This article has great talking points I'm going to cite, with credit to you and the National Post.

Thank you!

The new study out of Denmark, which examined 20 years of healthcare in their system, found that men who take exogenous estrogen (who are called trans women in their study) are 95% more likely to experience heart disease/stroke than men who never took estriadol. Interestingly, the study made control groups of same sex and opposite sex for each "trans" individual. For females who take exogenous testosterone, the risk of heart disease/stroke is 63% higher than females in the control group. The researchers did the politically correct method of comparing opposite sex control group incidence of heart disease/stroke, 5 for each "trans" individual. Thus, even in the research the demands on the time of researchers is enormous, as 10 health histories of "regular" age matched Danes were needed for each hormone-consuming "trans" person. Anyone promoting this on the basis that a "dysphoric" human being will commit suicide if not given the hormones which are clearly established as pretty near suicidal in the long term. I linked the New York Post article with my comments, which links the study at my blog; it is important to comment on the captured language the "AMAB, AFAB" nonsense these researchers write, as they tiptoe around on eggshells:

The whole 'trans' and 'Diversity/Equity/Inclusion' as perpetrated today, is indeed really very nefarious, a scheme by upper crust technocrats with an anti-life/anti-human agenda to transform the impressionable next generation into sexless, genderless, weak, sickly compliant robotized slaves of their technocratic overlords.

Creative performing arts is the best part of being human and the thing the globalist predator technocrat megalomaniac total slavery control freaks most want to destroy.

THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough! Mistakes were not made, it was always malice aforethought.

Too many 'sheeple' are brainwashed to blindly obey authority figures on the media or in daily life in corrupt system ruled by control freak psychopaths who use propaganda lies to enslave their subjects and they are dumbed down to be obedient by 'education' institutions. Fortunately I was raised to question everything. This transcends party lines. We need a system that punishes psychopaths and rewards compassion and sharing, we need a system that actually follows The Constitution in reality.

I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!

There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!

There is a fate worse than death - I would rather die than be a robotized slave of technocratic overlords! This is my hill to die on!

I have a landline and a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, all the tech anyone should ever want or need. I never had and refuse to ever have one of those infernal mobile devices that are designed to enslave you.

My loathing of AI and all things NANO and digital knows no bounds!

Kudos to Eliza Mondegreen's heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!

How I stick my thumb in the eyes of the grotesque billionaire bastards pushing their enslavement agenda and how I embrace being fully human.

Fighting the globalist predator technocrat psychopath megalomaniac TOTAL SLAVERY AGENDA one performance at a time!

Amazing Amy: Eccentric Yoga Entertainer!

As an entertainer, I have been devastated and practically destroyed by the closure of all performance venues and then when they reopened, because MY BODY, MY CHOICE - being made a total untermenschen pariah outcast in NAZI NIGHTMARE LAWLESS 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' JAB CROW APARTHEID/DISCRIMINATION/SEGREGATION HELL NYC WHERE THE MAD/DRUNK WITH POWER TYRANT POLS DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES. I am trapped here with zero financial resources to leave or do anything else about this 'wish I were dead' endless misery life has become. The tragic irony is that my SPREAD THE YOGA LOVE performances are all about health, miraculously overcoming age (68) and injury to achieve feats of flexibility few can attain at any age. So BIG PHARMA who wants to addict every person on the planet to their toxic products hate people like me who prove that we do not need them if we eat healthy organic food and exercise daily!

I try and live and embody the creative performing artistic world and life I so fervently want existence to be about.

They can stick their f*cking damned NANO, Digital IDs, AI, jabs and chips up their asses where the sun don't shine!

All manner of lies and propaganda spew forth from the upper echelons in governments worldwide who are completely intertwined with the global criminal ruling class that wants to commit the worst atrocities imaginable and suffer no consequences. And their corruption slithers down the chain of command creating petty tyrants everywhere.

Supporting this excellent post with a statement and useful links. https://virustruth.net

We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!

We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.

There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.

How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!

RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!

Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.

There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!

APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!

MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!

NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!

TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.

NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.

STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!

NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.
