The Week In Woke

A detransitioner is suing the American Academy of Pediatrics for lying to her about the risks and complications of gender-mutilation surgery.

A woman who was pumped with testosterone and underwent hormone therapy when she was a young teenager is suing both her doctors and the American Academy of Pediatrics, which her lawyers say has knowingly lied about the impact of the radical sex-change treatments it recommends, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire.
Isabelle Ayala, now a twenty-year-old woman, had just turned fourteen when she was committed to the hospital for suicidal thoughts, according to the lawsuit. It was during this hospital stay that she met with Dr. Jason Rafferty, who during his first brief meeting with Ayala determined that she "meets criteria to consider hormonal transition," with the only stated obstacle being parental consent. The lawsuit states that Rafferty and other doctors sent Ayala down the "path of 'gender-affirming' medicalization" rather than addressing the true roots of her mental health problems -- six months into her testosterone treatments, Ayala tried to commit suicide.
The treatments, however, continued, until Ayala moved away from Rhode Island and decided to quit them "cold-turkey." Now comfortable with her gender, she regrets what the doctors did to her, the lawsuit says.
...
The lawsuit not only goes after the doctors who treated Ayala, but also the American Academy of Pediatrics, where Rafferty and his colleagues worked to publish a now-infamous policy statement advocating for aggressive gender treatments for children. Lawyers for Ayala say the policy statement laid the groundwork for an "entirely new model of treatment" based on "outright fraudulent representations" of scientific proof.
"Defendants have doubled- and tripled-down on their commitment to the policy statement and its 'affirmative model' of treatment, while continuing to promote and profit off it," the lawsuit states, alleging that Ayala and other children are "victims of a conspiracy entered into and perpetuated to the present day by certain ideologically captured individuals in positions of power at the American Academy of Pediatrics."
...
Among the other doctors involved in treating Ayala at the Hasbro Children's Hospital Gender Clinic in Rhode Island was Dr. Michelle Forcier, a proponent of so-called "gender affirming care" for children whose perspective was featured in Walsh's "What Is A Woman?" documentary. Ayala told Forcier that she was "increasingly depressed and anxious" with the testosterone treatments, but she did nothing to intervene.

" " " Doctor " " " Forcier is the Condescending Kindergarten Teacher Dr. Mengele seen in Matt Walsh's What Is a Woman? I pray she gets bankrupted.

At a "Fall Classic" swim meet, Canada permits a 50-year-old man to compete against 13-year-old girls.

Go to 6:38 to see this man in a dress tell attendees of a symposium on cognition that cramming for a test the night before is actually more effective than studying over a period of days with space between each studying session. So in addition to be a violator of girls' spaces, he's also super-good at his job (whatever that is).

After the New York Times spread Hamas disinformation about the Gaza hospital (parking lot) "bombing," Twitter yanked their verification badge.

In the wake of The New York Times' false reporting , claiming the Israel Defense Forces bombed a hospital in Gaza, a report which was later totally debunked, X, formerly known as Twitter, removed the Times' verification badge.
The Times ran an article on October 17 that trumpeted, "Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say." The New York Times and CNN were also caught using images from different incidents that showed buildings that had been completely destroyed.
In one of its first tweets about the bomb at al-Ahli al-Arab hospital, The New York Times used a photo from a different bombing site.

That's deliberate.

California spent $110 million to "stop Asian hate." And yet, Asian hate persists. How could this possibly have happened?

What was that money spent on? Through a public records request, Public recently obtained grant applications from close to 50 grantees in the San Francisco Bay Area region, through two rounds of funding. The programs proposed by most of these groups, which typically received hundreds of thousands of dollars each, have little obvious connection to the goal of protecting Asians from violent attacks.
Collectively, the applications provide a glimpse into how much of the activist non-profit sector sustains itself by exploiting high-profile crises to raise funds that are then diverted into barely related or entirely unrelated causes. It also indicates how little the actual victims of those crises -- in this case, Asian hate crime victims -- actually benefit from these ballyhooed government spending sprees, which keep non-profit workers employed but do little for the communities they purport to serve.
[The] majority of the groups that received funding proposed programs that have little obvious direct impact on the lives of Asian hate crime victims or potential victims.
The Oakland Asian Cultural Center was awarded $90,000 for the 2021-22 fiscal year to produce an anti-racism podcast. (For the second fiscal year, the same organization received $168,000, though the documents that the California Department of Social Services provided to Public did not include the group's application for its second round of funding.)
Richmond Area Multi-Services, Inc. received $100,000 in the first round to provide mental health services for a group of children the organization took on an anti-racism road trip. (RAMS received $375,000 in the second round, but again, its application for continued funding was not provided to us.)
One group received funding to combat "anti-Blackness in the PI (Pacific Islander) community," as if the reason Asians were victims of hate crimes was because of their own racism. Likewise, a group that represents Asian nail salon workers boasted of publishing a statement "condemning anti-Black racism in nail salons." Another group aimed to "address biases against individuals who are houseless, formerly incarcerated, or Black/African American" -- presumably biases held by Asians in the Oakland Chinatown community that the organization serves. Yet another group described its work educating the Asian community about the "connections" between anti-Asian violence and "anti-Black racism and white supremacy."

Columbia professor: I would never send my own children to this antisemitic, terrorism-supporting school.

An Israeli American professor at Columbia University's business school slammed his employer in a fiery speech on campus Wednesday night -- ripping the university for apparently not publicly denouncing pro-Palestinian student organizations that he claimed are "pro-terror."
Assistant professor Shai Davidai alleged that Columbia's president, Minouche Shafik, has not spoken out against the student groups and said he would never allow his daughter to attend the Ivy League school in remarks he posted to YouTube titled "an open letter to every parent in America."
Davidai shook with rage as he spoke at a campus vigil for the Israelis kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and blasted liberal universities across the country for not "taking a stand" against the attacks.

Via SMOD, a college DEI director says that DEI drives antisemitism on campus.

The blatant antisemitism on college campuses has shocked millions of Americans over the past week and a half.
But not me.
I saw antisemitism on a weekly basis in my two years as a faculty "diversity, equity and inclusion" director.
In fact, I can safely say that toxic DEI ideology deliberately stokes hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people.
I was hired to head the DEI department at Silicon Valley's De Anza College in 2021.
As a black woman, I was the perfect person for the job -- on paper.
Yet I made the mistake of trying to create an authentically inclusive learning environment for everyone, including Jewish students.
Turns out, a toxic form of DEI (which is more accurately called "critical social justice") demanded I do the opposite.
Before I got to campus, Jewish students had endured a litany of hateful and hostile acts.
The school had hosted a Hanukkah party that featured no Hanukkah imagery but plenty of pro-Palestinian protesters.
The student body had passed resolutions on "divesting" from Israel -- the first college of its kind to do so -- and criticizing Israel's "attacks against humanity."
Multiple Jewish students told me the campus was essentially an antisemitic environment.
I tried to right this wrong. First, I hosted Jewish speakers on campus, with the goal of promoting diversity and inclusion by sharing different perspectives.
Critics called me a "dirty Zionist," and the school refused to promote the events.
I then pushed the administration to issue a strong condemnation of antisemitism.
My request was refused. Some campus leaders and colleagues repeatedly told me I shouldn't raise issues about Jewish inclusion or antisemitism.

Kurt Schlichter: Americans are waking up to the fact that Regime "universities" are boxing them out of the American dream based on their race and normal gender.

But there was another aspect to this, one that is even more likely to change minds and hearts in the direction of reality. It is the realization by the people with an antiquated view of the universities that their kids are likely to never see the inside of a big name campus. Oh, the very richest kids' spawn will. They will have no problem getting into the Harvards and Yales because daddy has $1 billion and just paid for the new wing of the Social Justice and Decolonization Department building. But regular folks, whose children aren't able to check multiple boxes on the intersectionality form are out of luck. The big lie is that if you work hard enough and show merit, your kid can get in too. But your kid can't. These are exclusive clubs, and your kid better stay outside the velvet rope because your kid is not on the VIP list.
Everyone recently saw that story of the A+ graduate with near perfect SATs who actually started his own company, and yet couldn't get admitted into any of the top universities. He made the mistake of being Asian, which is a mistake on par with being some white kid from the suburbs. The colleges have decreed, and the awful wine women inhabiting their admissions departments concur, that if you were those things you don't get a shot. Merit is dead for the designated undiverse. And when people realize that their kids are out of luck if they don't have some bizarre gender identity or something else that makes them thrill the hearts of the Chardonnay-swillers who pick and choose the Ivy student bodies, these voters are going to say "Oh, hell no!" next time they are asked to subsidize academia both with tax money and respect.

As soon as it dawns on most Americans that, no matter how hard they work, their kids have zero chance of getting into not just the most prestigious colleges, but any of the allegedly better colleges simply because of their race, normal gender identity, and failure to be communist weirdos, the remaining support for academia is going to nosedive. Add to that the consistent insistence of the little brats who took out huge student loans and now demand that we pay them back and you have a recipe for unprecedented resentment against colleges. And that will eventually manifest is our elected officials who hold the purse strings.

CEO: Parents, don't bother sending your children to the failure factories which call themselves "colleges."

This post is geared primarily to U.S. parents of teenagers who are contemplating university education post-high school. As you are considering the next phase in your high school students' life, please do not blindly assume that their best path forward will necessarily involve college education.
You may want to consider that:
1. More and more employers are ignoring college degrees, recognizing that they typically provide little or no value to the recipient and hardly confer a specified level of education, let alone skills. I speak as the CEO and founder of a multi-national company with around two hundred employees (half of whom are in the US), and which engages with well over one thousand contractors. Trust me when I tell you that companies care much, much less about this than you are led to believe;
...
4. In many cases the professors and university leadership take advantage of their youth, optimism and naivete to literally poison their minds. We have seen it manifested in campuses across the United States over the past week with respect to Israel. That's particular close to my heart and mind at the moment. But don't kid yourself and think that it ends there. If you believe in and support Western values and civil liberties, be aware that your children are being indoctrinated against things that you believe in and that matter to you.
...
Don't take the easy approach and simply assume that a college degree is required or at all in their best interest because "that's what everyone does." Very often the precise opposite is true.

Colleges are the gateway to white collar jobs. I have nothing against blue collar jobs or the people who do them, but I don't really want my kid working a trade job. Not because I think he's better than that. It's because many trade jobs destroy your body. Have a chat with a 60 year old carpenter, electrician, or plumber. Their bodies are as broken as old WWE wrestlers.

It's the whole concept of "affirmation" or "validation" that is the problem. We have spent decades encouraging people to believe that gender is based on "what's in your head, not what's between your legs."

We have to flat-out start telling people who "identify" as another gender that they are wrong. If you have male genitals and a Y chromosome and think you're really a woman, you're delusional. Full stop.

Again, I have nothing against trades. I honor and respect anyone who does honest work. I know those jobs are important. I don't believe I or my son are above those jobs. I would still not advise someone go into those or many other trades due to the toll it takes on their bodies.

57 Re: The "stop Asian hate" issue and the piles of money set on fire: I used to work at a cooperating institution of what used to be called The Foundation Center, which coordinated information between and about nonprofit foundations. Almost the entire "nonprofit sector," the bigger the foundation the more so, is an immense, only lightly regulated cash scam. Most foundations are about providing well-paying white-collar jobs for college graduates, mostly women. Just saying.

58 I still think college is a net benefit long term all else being equal. But I've come around to the idea of sending my kids to the cheapest in-state school available. Fuck Harvard, fuck Princeton. Even if they could get in, why?
Posted by: Montec at October 27, 2023 05:35 PM (P5BwU)

Correct in all respects. What do you get at an Ivy League school or "University of X" that you can't get 50 miles away at "Southwest X State University"? Answer: Nothing. For >95% of college students, the quality of education is exactly the same. It used to be that a more prestigious college would help in the job market, but that was only ever true for certain professions, and it has mattered less and less for a long time now.

This is 10+ years in the higher-ed system talking.

I did all of the above as part of my job. Then went home and hit the treadmill, stepper, rowing machine, hit the heavy bag, walked a mile or two...

My body is far from broken. Honest labor is good, putting a little aerobics into the equation makes it better. You think that sitting behind a desk for eight hours a day five days a week is healthier then rocking a toilet out and transporting it somewhere?

Christians also kinda get the story wrong, imo. This "feminist" apparently thinks God lied because they did Not Die (in that very day). But my view is they did spiritually die at that moment.

Just as Christians receive (incorruptible seed) holy spirit, a new birth ... Adam (and Eve?) lost that holy spirit, which they (or maybe just Adam, made in God's image, which is spirit) had that spirit on condition of obedience. Eve was deceived, Adam just followed ... for whatever reason.

But yes, their body and soul lived on for a long time.

That was from a period with much modern relevance; The King at this time had a host of House Prophets who lived in the Palace with him and who were well rewarded for constantly saying "Oh things are great, the Lord supports everything you're doing, you are a kind man, you are a good man, don't listen to that nasty old downer Jeremiah over there."

132 My dad worked in a zinc smelter for 20+ years, then as a carpenter for 25 years, then building fence, mostly barbed wire, until he was in his late 70s. When he was 84, he and my brother re-roofed our house with galvanized steel, although my brother did most of the roof work and my dad did the measuring, cutting and ground work. He never slowed down until he died the first time, when he was 90. That kind of set him back.

150 AAP is dishonest and duplicitous, with hard left agenda-driven policy statements on any number of issues (guns, extramarital sex, teen autonomy, drugs, trans issues, guns, etc.). They actively try to put a wedge between kids and their parents. A despicable organization.

And the vast majority of practicing pediatricians will defer to the AAP's policies for one of two reasons. Either1) they are fully on board with those policies or2) they are not brave enough to take a stance not in accordance because the AAP is the default EXPERT in every area, and deviating from the AAP stance is perceived as indefensible in the event of a malpractice claim.

JUST IN: The man behind the Harvard truck that drives around displaying the names of “antisemites,” had his house raided by a SWAT team.

Hamas supporters really don’t like it when you call them out.

Adam Guillette, the man behind the truck, revealed that cops searched his home at 1:30 am on Friday.

Someone had falsely called the police claiming Guillette was holding a gun to his wife’s head.

“If you antagonize enough antisemites, they will call law enforcement and tell them you have a gun to your wife’s head. Then a SWAT team shows up. Thankfully, we’re out of town,” Guillette said.

Guillette is not backing down.

“I’m not going to be intimidated or bullied, and this is a great reminder of why we need to double down on our efforts.”

That is apparently the traditional view ... doesn't make sense to me.

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

that is KJV, but it seems right, though I don't know Hebrew syntax so can't really say for sure. Dying in the day thou eatest -- sounds like dying that day.

The other (different from tradition) view is that man (adam) is created in God's image, then it says ... male and female created He THEM.

God is spirit, no man has seen God at any time. So Adam was created with holy spirit (God's image), then Adam and Eve were made of the dust of the ground, male and female.

He was playing Bridge with the old ladies at a local restaurant when his heart stopped beating. Two of the younger ones did CPR until the ambulance arrived, shocked him a couple of times and put him on a ventilator. That evening, he woke up in the hospital and asked me what happened. So, I told him and said that Sherry and Gaye had saved his life by doing CPR. He said, What the hell did they do that for? I was done, it was over. I told him he should have apprised his fellow Bridge players of his DNR status and that it was too late, he was alive. When his chest and ribs finally stopped hurting, he got over being pissed off about it and thanked them for getting him going again. When he died the second time, it took.

Or known that it was a metaphor for spiritual death? Or that it would be on a time-delay? Also depends on whether one views the account as literal or metaphorical.

man behind the Harvard truck that drives around displaying the names of “antisemites,” had his house raided by a SWAT team.

Hamas supporters really don’t like it when you call them out.

Adam Guillette, the man behind the truck, revealed that cops searched his home at 1:30 am on Friday.

Someone had falsely called the police claiming Guillette was holding a gun to his wife’s head.

“If you antagonize enough antisemites, they will call law enforcement and tell them you have a gun to your wife’s head. Then a SWAT team shows up. Thankfully, we’re out of town,” Guillette said.

Since this is about Adam and Eve there was one time in my life when I had the opportunity to shove my opinion of A&E right up the ass of a Catholic priest and leftist school principal. I kept silent.

What was running through my mind at the time was to say to them, "You know what the actual story of Adam and Eve was about? You make your choices, then pay for them."

The school closed a few years later. They made their choice. Then paid for it.
