    But surely if Yaniv is a trans woman then she legally should have free access to all womens spaces? A gynaecologists office would in the olden days (pre 2008) be recognised as a place for females only but legally now as trans women are women why shouldn't Yaniv go there if it makes her happy and helps with her dysphoria? Isn't it the duty of everyone, especially women, to support trans women be their true beautiful selves, stunning and brave. Surely she is brave going to a gynaecologist?

    Fantastic response. Thank you.

    What's a gynaecologist going to do with a penis and testicles and the complete absence of uterus, ovaries, cervix etc. There is simply no need for one. Waste of their time.

    Brave? Deluded.

    I don’t think Yanniv needs a psychiatrist at all tbh, they’re the embodiment of 4chan gone sentient. They’re well aware of what they’re doing and the consequences of their actions.

    If you’re saying he’s a troll I think you’re wrong. It’s the twitter echo chamber effect of blocking/turning down alternative views/not willing to have a discussion on the matter that has this person genuinely believing they’re in their rights to do this. This fella is absolutely bananas and needs help before...

    1. He hurts someone.
    2. He kills himself.

    Both HIGHLY likely to happen.

    Unfortunately those in power are scared absolutely shïtless to do anything about him for fear of backlash from the twitter mob. He will continue to reek havoc until either 1 or 2 happens.

    Just keep looking a gynae that will.

    What could be done about them though other than just ignore them? They do it precisely because of the attention it attracts, whether that be positive or negative. I’ve seen some of the interviews they’ve done and they thrive on getting a reaction out of people, even when the interviewer thinks they’re being clever by giving Yanniv enough rope, Yanniv is the sort of arsehole that would leave you thinking that’s hiding in plain sight. I think that’s why nobody is all that motivated to do anything about Yanniv because they’re aware it would turn Yanniv into a martyr, and I can’t help but get the feeling that’s exactly what Yanniv wants.

    I don't know who you hang out with, but I've never experienced that. I know a few guys with borderline sexist tendencies... but nothing even remotely close to what you're suggesting. Yes, I'm a male, and have many male friends across a wide spectrum of nationalities and ages.

    What are these hard won safe spaces? I'm an egalitarian btw. I don't care what gender, race, etc you are. If you're qualified then, go for it. Even, if you're not qualified, go for it, but your lack (experience, qualifications, physical prowess etc) is against you.

    You haven’t? Sadly, I have. A delightful couple of family members that I know very well.

    I agree that Yanniv being made a martyr would be a bad move overall but the fcuker is causing serious damage to innocent peoples lives with bull**** lawsuits, resulting in 14 different beauticians being sued by this clown causing at least 2 of them having to declare bankruptcy so far.

    The only misogyny here is from those who are trying to distract attention from the very real issues of the actual violence against women that happens every day in every town in the country to address their own personal discomforts with some very small degrees of improvements in the treatment of some very vulnerable people.


    You're some boyo.


    Women do not know the good guys from the bad guys, understand?
    The bad guys being the ones who brutalise, rape, perve and murder them.


    Therefore, women have the right to single sex spaces which help exclude the bad guys.

    Society is gone too far PC and it won’t stop until people are allowed marry their dogs or their children

    Gender dysphoria is a mental illness

    The numbers of people transitioning back are being kept suppressed

    If you’ve got a prostate, you’re a man!!!!! And you can get prstate cancer even if you get surgery to make you a woman, cause the prostate is left in. And only MEN have prostates.

    Yes, women are abused sometimes, all around the world. Not all women are abused, many women are never abused and many of those abused are never abused again. Some are. Your attitude is too extreme. You talk about Misogyny, but you're coming across as very pro-misandry right now, unless you're including female on female abuse (which is rather high) and even then, you'd come across as quite extreme. Foaming in the mouth radical feminist extreme, that is.

    Did I say that all women are abused? No. You know, the phrase "All the time" doesn't literally mean on a constant basis. It means frequently. When I say "women", I dont mean every single woman, but women as a class of people. Women are frequently abused all around the world. Is that not true?

    The poster I quoted stated that there are loads of women in every single town in Ireland being abused daily. I'm a raging man hating feminist for making a general comment in response but Andrew isnt? I didnt even mention men but ok

    Aww shucks... I should have picked out both posts? Oh. I'm sorry, and what I quoted had plenty to say about males... But I can see there's no point furthering this, since you haven't responded to what I posted, as opposed to arguing semantics.

    Yaniv is an unwell person.
    But they are far from being the only unwell person in this story, and many of the other unwell people are causing terrible damage to the children in their care.
    And yet so many try to drown out those who say stop to the insanity of the trans cult with lines like ''Why do you care about this so much?'' or ''Why does this stuff rile you?''
    To the posters in THIS thread who have said these exact comments to me, I answer with these recently leaked screenshots from a closed Facebook group for ''Moms'' of trans kids. Yaniv is sick, but these people are a whole lot sicker and far more numerous.
    If you are one of the posters on boards who has stood back while this goes on because ''who are you to judge'', or called others bigots getting ''worried about men in frilly panties'' when those people are reasonably expressing worry about all this, or actively defended this with your ''trans friends'' stories, then shame on you for being actively part of this movement.

    It's a an incredibly complex issue that can't be answered with "if you had or currently have a penis, you're not a woman".

    But it's clear some people just want simplicity.

    I’m not speaking for anyone else but for me there’s a difference between reasonably expressing concerns, and then there’s whipping up hysteria and fuelling paranoia. I could right now go searching the Internet and find all sorts of people with all sorts of weird and wacky views and beliefs, but I think it’s important to maintain perspective at the same time. How much of a threat to society are the people with these views, really? I’d have to say they’re really not any sort of a threat to society. They’re hardly a danger to themselves, let alone anyone else. Presenting such extreme opinions as though they are in any way commonplace is anything but reasonable and is just whipping up hysteria fuelling paranoia IMO.

    There are of course legitimate concerns about policies, but when one is getting down to the level of individuals or parents with wacky views and beliefs, then it’s no longer about the issue of the politics of transgenderism, but it’s an argument about individuals freedoms and parental rights. I wouldn’t want anyone else as an individual deciding for me what my individual freedoms or parental rights are or what the punishment should be if I choose not to comply with their beliefs and values which I disagree with, so I don’t focus on individuals or parents who’s wacky views and beliefs I disagree with either, nor am I interested in thinking in what way they should be punished for refusing to comply with my individual beliefs and values. For me I’m more concerned with policies than with individual cases.

    It's not black and white, you see...

    Your response is exactly what I mean - I don’t agree with your opinion and I think you’re just looking for any example to support your attempts to whip up hysteria and fuel paranoia so I’m a moral relativist? You say that like it’s a bad thing. You’re berating me because I don’t agree with your views about what you think is child abuse, but you’re not prepared to risk being banned from a tiny social media site for expressing what you really want to say. That’s not anyone else censoring what you can or cannot say or compelling you to be silent, that’s your own decision to self-censor yourself.

    For what it’s worth, you’d hardly be the first person to accuse anyone else of being complicit in the abuse of children because they didn’t comply with your values. Happens quite a lot on Boards, let alone other larger social media platforms, but like I said - maintaining perspective is important.

    Otherwise I might actually begin to lose all sense of perspective and begin to believe those people whom I disagree with are actually a credible threat to society, like the person who comes out with comedy gold such as “men are a threat to women”, and then comes out with “us men must stand up for our sisters, mothers and daughters”, says there’s a need for debate, puts people who disagree with them on their ignore list, or just plain out accuses other people of moral relativism as though there is any such thing as an objective standard for raising children. It’s easy to throw labels like child abuse at other people when you think everyone else should adhere to what you imagine are “reasonable worries”. You don’t appear to be at all unreasonable of course.

    It's a fairly standard technique in these discussions. Anyone with any particular concern for basic human respect will get labelled a perv or a paedo. We've already had porn-shaming on this thread.



    It's just about getting people to shut up with all those inconvenient opinions and facts.

    I’m not speaking for anyone else but for me there’s a difference between reasonably expressing concerns, and then there’s whipping up hysteria and fuelling paranoia.

    Again, fairly standard techniques from alt-right 101. Present lots of links to sources that may look credible at first glance, but the slightest level of scrutiny shows that these aren't actually newspapers or magazines - they are activist sites with the sole purpose of undermining any sensible or balanced debate. Have a look at Gemma O'Doherty's timeline if you want a master class in this technique.

    It's not so much simplicity that they want. They just want to take us back about fifty years where they could publicly sneer and snigger at anyone who is different to them.

    Ah, the old 'won't someone please think of the children' Maud Flanders hysterics - completely ignoring the strong child protection regimes that exist specifically to protect children. Have you make reports to the relevant authorities where you believe a child is being abused, or do you prefer to use the 'evidence' to rile people up online?


    I'm very happy to be part of the movement to provide basic human dignity and a very small degree of basic human rights to people who are different to you.
    This is a great response


    Society is gone too far PC and it won’t stop until people are allowed marry their dogs or their children


    You may have taken a wrong turn, this isn't the marriage equality debate. We heard all this nonsense in the marriage equality debate, about marrying their horses and their children. And it was just nonsense - we have marriage equality, and we don't have people marrying their dogs and their children

    No. I am 100% correct. A person born with a penis is not a woman. A person born with a vagina is not a man.


    It may come as a surprise to you, but life, and indeed nature, isn't quite so black and white. You may not have direct personal experience of gender dysphoria, but it does happen.


    TBPH, I'm kinda used to it. The vast majority of legal changes happen without the permission of the general public. Unless you're hooked into the system in some way, most changes happen without anyone noticing. That's not any sense of approval Btw.

    Fact is, I'm not discussing the legal aspect because I'm not living in Ireland right now, and I don't expect to be back any time soon. It doesn't affect me. However, the social aspects do possibility affect my family members especially the children who may be exposed to propaganda within schools to promote "gender change". We're already seeing such happening in parts of the US, and I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar happen in Ireland under a more limited campaign.

    But I'm not going to get involved in the discussions about the legal aspects here. Not my scene.


    It sounds like you're fairly well disconnected from what is happening in schools in Ireland. Most schools in Ireland still have religious services for students. The idea that 'gender change propaganda' (whatever that is) would be publicised in Irish schools would be fairly wide of the mark.


    What's your definition of 'promoting gender change'? Does simply telling children that gender dysphoria exists come under the heading of 'promoting' in your book?

    There's no harm in it. It might help some folks to understand that nature has spoken and the message it clear, despite their reluctance to hear it. Men are not women and women are not men.
    Nature has spoken in terms of producing people with gender dysphoria. You may not have direct personal experience of this, but it's an established medical and social fact for a couple of generations.

    So it is not relevant to you to have public policy enacted (policies that have concrete effects outside the tiny cohort you mention) that compels you to accept things that are untrue?
    I have not seen it happen before. Outside of tyrannies, that is.


    No-one is compelled to accept anything. You can lock yourself in your bedroom and continue to pump out your propoganda in your echo chamber if you like. In the real world, the only things you're compelled to do is

    1) Not discriminate against people when providing goods or services
    2) Not incite hatred against protected groups.


    Apart from that, knock yourself out with your bigoted bile.

    That is not a fact. A man can not transition to become a woman.

    For **** sake. If a law was passed tomorrow saying gravity was repealed, stuff wouldn't just start floating.

    It is a fact. Legally someone who was born a man can change their gender and live as a woman. That is a fact. I’m not sure what you’re struggling with here.

    I’m happy to debate whether that should be legal if you want, but you can’t just deny the truth of it.
