The company has been marked out for some time, especially after The Intercept published a damning report last month that permanently altered crypto’s perceptions toward one of its largest players. This week, the execs revisited D.C - and tweeted about it.īut there’s only so much Coinbase can do at this stage. In an even more treasonous move, company executives have cozied up to the establishment, taking meetings with high-up government officials from the U.S Congress and Federal Reserve, such as Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and Fed Chair Jerome Powell. For starters, Coinbase insiders regularly snitch on their crypto brethren for insider trading, which is verboten in crypto circles. Looking back, it has committed every one of crypto’s deadly sins. He was questioned about his actions on Sunday before officers returned to his house on Thursday.Coinbase has already done everything contra to what you’d expect from a pro-crypto entity. Reports suggest that Miller, a former police officer, had posted on social media to defend the use of an image of “Progress Pride” flags arranged to form a swastika, and said that this was intended as a comment about the authoritarian tendencies of transactivists. A video was shared by actor and political activist Laurence Foxwhich appeared to show Miller being confronted by five officers. “Fair Cop founder Harry Miller and a fellow free-speech campaigner have reportedly been arrested and taken to Basingstoke police station for questioning.

I’ve done 5 tonight.īy the way, check out this little bit of police oppression censoring free speech: GIDS has failed our most vulnerable children, and I, along with many, will be glad to see it go.Īnd if you do want to make a difference, after the recent FOI victory on organisations sharing their comms about Stonewall, ‘Sex Matters’ has FOI templates that you can send to various organisations that are members of the Stonewall diversity champions project. I was told “No”, and that some young people are transgender, and no amount of therapy to get them to accept their bodies will be effective. I asked whether children presenting as “gender dysphoric” might be victims of homophobic bullying, or child sexual abuse? It seemed to me that feeling alienated from a body that had been sexually violated was a common response to trauma. When I first wrote about the issue of transsexuality, published in 2003, I contacted GIDS and spoke to one of its senior clinicians. Charities that purport to represent the interests of gender dysphoric children, such as Stonewall and Mermaids, put their energy into framing talking therapies and support for kids to live happily in their own bodies as “conversion therapy”. And yet is was framed as an “erosion in support for trans rights” rather than a correct scientific response.
That makes sense, because, spin it as you will, feeling so distressed by your own body that you feel driven to live as the opposite sex is not a sign of sanity.Ī recent poll highlighted widespread public scepticism about prescribing puberty blockers for children, which is absolutely right and proper.
GIDS will be replaced by regional centres at existing children’s hospitals offering with strong links to mental health services. I was desperate to be a boy - not because I was trapped in the wrong body, but because I was trapped in a patriarchal society that punishes girls for not adhering to sex stereotypes, otherwise known as “gender”. Had I been born 40 years later with liberal, middle-class parents, I would have been offered a trip to the gender clinic and I would have run all the way there. I had no interest in boys and a crush on my best friend. On occasion I would lock myself in the bathroom and try my brother’s Brutus Jeans and t-shirt on, imagining what it would be like to be able to dress as I wanted.
Conformity was everything, and I hated dresses, tights and wearing my unruly hair in bunches. Growing up in the 1970s on a council estate, I, like most females, struggled with my feelings about girlhood.

Following a review that found that it failed vulnerable under-18s (as evidenced in the Cass Report, an update to which was published today), its imminent closure is yet another example of how children have been sacrificed at the altar of transgender ideology. The announcement that the gender identity service at Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust (GIDS) has been ordered to close by next spring is a massive relief.
