https://github.com/PsychoVagabond is one to watch:
> No, it's there to deny access to gender affirming care so that conversion therapy can be used instead. Note that most of the recommendation can't even proceed if the ban on conversion therapy goes ahead. These changes actively harm trans children. It's got nothing to do with protecting children. That's what is known as concern trolling.
> The people who claim to be "just asking questions" and get called anti-trans are generally people who are concern trolling. Their position is transphobic they just dress it up as if they are trying to help.

> Except that the assault happened in May (and it should be noted, it was reported to police the same day) and the trans policy in the school didn't come in until August. It has absolutely nothing to do with the trans policy, and there's zero evidence the perpetrator was trans. This is just the story that's been chosen as a vehicle for a political agenda.

> Flagged on a popular plugin used to identify transphobes.
> It's entirely possible to both be trans and be transphobic. As evidenced by the fact that the person you linked to frequently posts transphobic and far-right content, including but not limited to posting nonsense by Katie Hopkins.
> It was changed because it's not a mental illness and trying to treat it like a mental illness doesn't help and is fundamentally conversion therapy.
> You say "something in someone's brain" but that's not what gender dysphoria is down to. There are at least a couple of dozen estrogen events during fetal development that alter biology in various ways to create sex characteristics, of which your genitals is one, with other affecting hormones, neurobiology and a host of traits geneticists are still looking to understand. It's a disconnect between those characteristics that creates dysphoria. To cast it off as a mental illness shows at best a complete lack of understanding of the subject.
> It's offensive because it's not a mental illness. Just like being gay is not a mental illness. It's not just semantics, it's simplifying who someone is down to a condition you think just needs to be treated. It's not an attack on people who do have mental illnesses, it simply isn't one.
> You say you're not, but you say things that are deeply offensive to trans people, you link to transphobic videos and when challenged you pull the classic right wing technique of accusing me of discrimination. The "I have trans friends, honest" is not new either. If you really do have trans friends and you refer to them being trans as a mental illness then I guarantee they cuss you out behind your back.
> But hey, don't take my word for it, head over to the transgenderUK sub and see what they think.
then Vagabond brings up GAMERGATE as to why people dont like Dianne Abbot
> But that's not why it's being dismissed. It's being dismissed because the prejudice they face isn't racism. I really don't give a crap that you think white people are the most oppressed people in the world just because it makes your failures in life feel like someone else's fault.
> 21 is pretty little, particularly if you're coming from alt-tight gamer culture which produces perpetually adolescent white guys. As expected you've never voted even voted in an election.
> The system would require more than one person to report you and moderators to approve it. Given that you've been racist here and that you seem to think that far-right propaganda is the same as fact, it doesn't surprise me. Who knows if you genuinely believe it, maybe you're still stuck in the at edgy teenager phase. You're probably still in the group of people who believe gamergate was about journalistic ethics.
> They can, but it's not racism in the same way Black people for example experience it. A LOT of gamers are though, even ones who aren't actively political tend to pick up alt-right and far-right rhetoric through memes and streaming service. No far right party has anything close to a chance to win so it would be a wasted vote. In reality I'm closer to Lib Dems than Labour these days but there's zero change of LD winning here so I'd not vote for them. More than one person can be but in general it's fairly accurate. And again, given that I've seen your views I can confirm that you certainly should be flagged. You absolutely have been racist.
someone chimes in with calling him out for defending racism towards romanis:
> Romani people literally can face abuse and discrimination based on their ethnicity. That’s racism as per an Oxford definition. I never said we were the most oppressed but we can still experience racism.
vaga responds:
> The question is, what makes it racist. You can't respond with "how is it not racist". Saying that travellers experience prejudice rather than racism is simply a fact. Even if "travellers" was a race and saying that they don't suffer racism was wrong, it still wouldn't be racist it would simply be "a thing that is said that is not correct".
least racist Brit
> I really don't give a crap that you think white people are the most oppressed people in the world just because it makes your failures in life feel like someone else's fault.
> And yet again, the thing you're missing about what Abbott says was context and nuance.
> Yes, you and many other people on the far-right believe that white people are the victims of racism and that any black person standing up for themselves is a racist. I know that is your opinion and the opinion of other crazy people, but it's still abhorrent.
then defends hamas
> Hamas has members in many different countries with different views on how they should operate. They don't run around the wold killing their own members for not fighting.
> The only way groups like Hamas get removed or deradicalised is by working with moderates who want to work within political structures.
> Israel has been killing, oppressing and displacing Palestinians for decades. They even helped steer Hamas into power because they wanted the Palestinian government destabilised. Let's not pretend it started with Hamas. Hamas is the inevitable result of Israel oppressing Palestinians.
vagabond has a conspiratorial stance on medicine that doesnt validate troonshit:
> "Gender ideology" is just what anti-trans activists call any attempt to give people with gender dysphoria rights.
> This isn't about healthcare, it's concern trolling. It's about disagreeing with the rights of transgender people to exist and be in control of their own healthcare and wanting them to be questioned and attacked at every turn in the hope that it will make them stop being trans.
> Biologically speaking sex isn't binary by the way, once you progress beyond high school biology it's understood that neurological development during fetal development creates a spectrum that we simplify for earlier education by focusing on dominant genitalia.
> Gender is then a social construct that societies throw on top of the simplification of biological sex in order to segregate rights. The concept of their being more than two genders actually predates our modern gender stereotypes.
> That's a misrepresentation. The left does not think anyone that attempts to be critical is reprehensible, it's just a lot of absolutely disgusting people put forward abhorrent views and then claim they are just trying to be critical. It's like the JAQing off meme and it's shockingly dishonest.
someone on r/centrist points out he's crazy:
> My favorite leftie tactic: deny, but if it happens it’s justified.
> The left totally allows for disagreement without calling them evil! And if they don’t, it’s because those disagreeing actually are evil! Maybe you can explain what % of people against CRT are not “JAQing off”? Just curious
then Vagabond accuses Hilary Cass, who has an OBE in childrens medicine, of wanting to get children on antidepressants for some reason:
> It's not a mental health condition.
> And hormone blockers are prescribed to delay puberty so that they don't have to make a permanent choice as a child and can make decisions on how to proceed as an adult.
> The hope of people like Hilary Cass is that by denying treatment transgender people will be coerced onto the usual cocktails of antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds and convinced to not transition.
> It's just like conversion therapy for homosexuals, denying their identity and forcing them to conform. In the future we'll look back at the treatment of trans people by abhorrent people like Hilary Cass with the same shock and horror that we look back at gay conversion therapy.
> That's called the appeal to authority fallacy. Just because she held a position in pediatrics doesn't mean she's infallible and certainly doesn't mean she's free from bias. Given that she rejected peer reviews studies that went against her preexisting narrative, I fundamentally disagree with your claim that she's honest.
> I didn't say science is controlled by an anti-trans conspiracy, in fact science overwhelmingly supports trans people, which is why Hilary Cass had to ignore most of the peer reviewed studies to try to make her claims.
> What I think it political is the actions some countries are taking based on flawed reviews.
> You say "experts and whistleblowers" but noone in the trans community, noone from trans supporting charities and noone involved in any of the trans studies dismissed by Hilary Cass was spoken to. She went out of her way to find people who oppose trans people.
> Gender dysphoria is frequently misdiagnosed as other mental health issues and that will only increase if the recommendations of the Cass review (AKA, the UK copy of Ron DeSantis Florida review) are implemented.
> Of course it does. I don't agree with your position, therefore I'm unhinged. Never mind that you're supporting a political rejection of more than 100 peer reviewed medical studies for a review that was made hand in hand with anti-trans politicians and activists.
> For the most part the medical treatment for autism is antipsychotics which are effectively chemical lobotomies. There are a whole range of studies showing how subjectively diagnosed conditions are wildly overdiagnosed due to a failure to understand neurodiversity.
> Dysphoria is frequently misdiagnosed as a range of other subjectively diagnosed conditions and as I've pointed out, this is historically what happened to homosexuals. You want to "treat" their mental health conditions in the hope that at the end of it they won't be trans anymore.
> He also claims he's not the guy he's been looking up though doesn't he? And he's only actually been charge for two instances.
> The thing is, noone has been assaulted in either of the incidents he's been charged with and from the articles I've read most of the time he's just been nearby wearing the suit and people have got scared. I guess I'm just concerned we're getting to a point where people are assumed to be guilty, rather than the way it should be where people need to actually be proven to be guilty.

> You can't claim to want to calm down the hatred while suggesting JK Rowling is vital to the conversation. She's a transphobe that brings nothing but hatred to the discussion.
> The problem with the discussion is that trans people do exist and people like JK Rowling who want to force them to stop existing will never be reasonable.
> And as predicted in comes the vote brigading from fragile transphobes who are unable to actually back their positions. They're too scared to actually contribute to the discussion so they just downvote on their numerous troll accounts.
