Once again, you're right. I don't disagree with any of this. The wording "secretive" is a bad choice. I could've articulated my point better but think we agree here. I fully understand the reasoning for the way everything is set up, it just sucks that it helps to invite these kinds of shitty politics in the world outside of academia. I also don't have a solution.
Thanks fam, you a real one. I didn't know how much I wanted to read a paper about erotic target inversion in furries until it was right in front of me and I couldn't.
This is a legitimately published paper, isn't it? This is damning if those stats are real.
Trans activists briefly had him banned from twitter earlier this year for transphobia (of course they believe his research is inherently transphobic) but in his case, twitter rightly reinstated him on appeal.
So much this. Now, for the life of me, I don't remember where I put that study, but two psychologists wrote about pedophilia in the Catholic Church and came to the conclusion that narcs/pedos want to become priests because of the perceived privilege this can afford. Basically all the pedo priests that have been caught suffered from narcissistc disorder. Take a narc, put him into a seminary, a male-only environment where sex is demonized and devalued (even sex between husband and wife, that should be considered holy), and when he'll come out he will be completely detached from reality.
It's so easy when discussing this shit to wind up accidentally sounding like a conspiracy theorist crazy person but I honestly think that's half the point and how this manages to continue going on. Seriously though, just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not after you. LolDamn right. In the Uk, this has and is happening behind closed doors. In 2004 the GRA gender recognition act got passed quietly, mainly due to Stephen wittle and his (or her, whittle is an ftm) ‘press for change’ group and their lobbying. Now various research councils are finding PhD studentships whoch seem to have foregone conclusions and some of which are openly seeking to change policy. This creates a huge gravy train for gender studies academics and it also creates the lobbying pressure on government who can then use bullshit research to back up their policies.
Some examples: here’s a three year project to look at changing sex to gender in law and basically everything. https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES/P008968/1
There’s a push in the Uk to reform the equality act, just like there is in the USA - to replace sex with gender. If that happens, the equality act, which is the ONLY act that protections women and girls, will be unworkable. Every single protection women and girl children have will be removed. This is only being talked about because hotbeds of TERFery like mumsnet have forced the issue. Women raising concerns over it have been threatened, punched, intimidated and hounded from their jobs.
Nobody is allowing public scrutiny of who these advisers are. There’s Gordon pike for example, who helped write the guidance on putting men in women’s jails - he was later done for child porn possession. http://archive.li/NRMmN
Other advisors have been Jane Faye (torture porn advocate, advocate of young teens in porn) Jess Bradley (mtf- kicked out of the NUS for flashing and a blog full of dodgy stuff about kids.) mermaids, Aimee Challenor (thread about him on here...) these people are dodgy as it gets and yet they have the ear of government. We need to be asking why.
Perhaps not secretive but certainly impenetrable and voluminous (probably not intentionally though). They just churn out so much dense, unreadable bullshit that it's impossible for anyone with a life to keep up. It's like if you criticize islam and someone responds with "well have you even read the Koran mr smartypants??"
Even if he did rape a child, they'd still demand he be sent to a woman's prison and have his pronouns respected both of which the Canadian government would oblige.
