It’s worth reading the linked BBC article about the cancellation of “The Family Sex Show” in Bristol, England.
The cancellation was by the performance group itself as a necessary response, they claim, to “unprecedented threats and abuse” they had received.
It’s entirely possible that that is true (it certainly doesn’t appear they suffered a belated attack of conscience), but the article doesn’t substantiate the allegation of threats, instead merely including a number of criticisms – reminiscent of the conflation of threat and criticism that we in the U.S. have become accustomed to in the context of school-board and other local-government meetings where officials long to criminalize those raising objections to their policies.
In any case, rather than being objective, the overall tenor of the article is to allow the group to cast itself in the role of victim, and to associate opposition to the show with anti-social and criminal behavior.
A correction at the bottom of the article indicates that an earlier version was even more favorable to the sex show.
my biology and genetics teacher doesn't seem to know anything about biology or prefers to ignore it. She always takes me out of her class because I don't believe that sex can be changed with surgery and that I believe that no person is born in the wrong body. That makes her very angry towards me
But i am not surprised, she also supports a long list of very questionable things

3 Trans Widow memoirs which exemplify the facts and histories of the abuse women endure from the men with opposite sex fixations:
Sex Change by Christine Benvenuto (St. Martins Press)
18 Months by Shannon Thrace (Firestone), out this month)
In the Curated Woods by Ute Heggen (iuniverse)
This anomalous psychiatric illness (as described by psychiatrist Stephen B. Levine in sworn testimony) harms women emotionally, mentally, narcissistically, See link below to new documentary about the ex-wives. Gender ideology, through surgeries and pills, financially abuses all of us.
Good post. The erasure of "biological binary" is equivalent to being willing to outlaw mathematics because we cannot comprehend it. When 2+2 no longer equals 4 we have a logic problem. When we have thrown all logic to the winds we will know real chaos. The final calculus will indicate that "nothing will come from nothing". Shakespeare already said that. 1's and 0's are just that.
I like Reality's Last Stand because it tries to avoid ideological rhetoric. There are some good points in this article but semi-sensational advocacy obscured the valuable objectivity I appreciate about this site.
Thank you, Barbara. There really are fairly intelligent people who have never thought through the progressive ideas behind the issue of the moment. Pushing against all norms sounds like liberty. However, as a retired pediatrician, I urge fellow citizens to support the hedges built around vulnerable children, which has been a signpost of modern civilization. Children are a precious resource for society and deserve legal and moral protection. So many people have lost their minds.
I've written before that one of the scary things about WPATH's promotion of 'eunuch gender' is that we shall have kids keeping their pre-pubescent bodies (courtesy of puberty-blockers) past the age of consent. We will have created a population of legal targets for pedophiles, targets with all sorts of untreated psychological issues (it's transphobic to examine those things) and with delayed intellectual maturation (also a puberty-blocker effect). This means that even if of legal age I don't think their consent means as much as we would like. It will be like tethering a goat kid to attract a tiger, except there is no one to shoot the tiger in this case.
This is informative and disturbing. I'm more concerned by the ubiquity of teachers who want to normalize discussions of sex with children. There are just too many opportunities to slide down the slippery slope here. Once kids have been taught to give any adult of authority permission to discuss racial gender ideology the threshold to physical intercourse is easily breached. In fact it will be seen by many neophytes as *liberating* and *progressive* to ignore societal constructs such as age, completely opening the floodgates. Combine all this with the no borders sexual ecosphere of the internet and it's just a massive pandora's box.
I respectfully take issue with this article. Back in the 80s, conservatives assailed the gay rights movement with constant, fevered references to the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). NAMBLA was not then, and is not now, a significant force in the movement, but it was a good means for scaring people into voting against legislation aimed at protecting gay people from discrimination. I feel as though this piece is doing the same thing, except in regards to gender identity theory.
Let me be clear: I think this gender stuff is largely spiritual and has gone too far, particularly in terms of sex-segregated spaces and activities, and its adherents are the leftist version of evangelical Republicans. However, the suggestion that this is aimed at normalizing sex with children...well, I just don't think it's well supported by the facts. Sure, you can always find some weirdo trying to construction a rational, philosophical basis for pedophilic acts, but that seems mostly like nut-picking. You can also find people who think the Democratic Party is trafficking children out of pizzerias, but we shouldn't let their views guide the candidates for which we vote.
I think there is ample reason to criticize these gender people without resorting to "They want to rape your children!"
There is absolutely no contest here. It is infinitely more important for us to protect the innocence of even one powerless five year old, ten year old or fifteen year old than it is to cave into the disgusting and degenerate urges of an unwashed hoard of adult sexual deviants, including the "transgender" crowd.
In that quite partial BBC article about the sex show cancellation there is now this note at the end.
‘This article has been amended to remove references to how the show was made in consultation with safeguarding specialists after new information came to light.’
Johns Hopkins hired an activist who wants to normalize Minor Attracted Persons. This has always been the endgame of demoralization: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-rank-the-top-npc-universities

Gee, wasn’t like you guys weren’t warned decades ago that this would happen. Anyone remember the memory-holed Harvey Milk? 🙄

Does anyone know which information came to light?
