CLK above is replying to Bette Midler, who recently got in trouble for stating the obvious: “I thought you stood up for LGBT+ people” CLK tweeted.
To which the obvious reply would be that, well of course we want confused people who think they are born in the wrong body to have civil rights etc…but it doesn’t mean we don’t believe they are greatly confused.
That’s something we should be allowed to say in public.
We can believe both that people are confused AND that the cancelling of “woman” for the sake of “inclusion” is devastatingly beyond the pale.
Why is this not happening to “men”? Hmmm? As the graph above indicates. If you are a woman you are a “vulva owner.” If you are a man? Still a man?
Or will that term eventually be cast into the “dustbin of history” too?
The latest development is that the charge against Nurse Hamm about making statements that included “medically inaccurate information” have been dropped.
The original charge said that Hamm:
“…made discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people, some of which statements included medically inaccurate information, while identifying yourself as a nurse or nurse educator. These statements were made across various online platforms, including but not limited to, podcasts, videos, published writings and social media.”
Professionally, I suppose, that could have been a problem. Though everybody knows medical professionals sometimes make inaccurate statements. They are only human, after all.
But the new charge now reads:
“Between approximately July 2018 and March 2021, you made discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people, while identifying yourself as a nurse or nurse educator. These statements were made across various online platforms, including but not limited to, podcasts, videos, published writings and social media.”
Of course that is a step in the right direction.
However. Nurse Hamm’s free speech right to make, as a medical professional, the completely rational and scientific statement that it is impossible to change your sex is still, unfortunately, facing discipline.
Regulatory bodies are increasingly policing the speech of professionals (see this post)
to “cancel” medical and educational professionals with whom they disagree. But as more and more decide to bravely face this cancel culture of intimidation, I hope the current trajectory of this debate will change. One can only hope.

Maybe the secret is to fix the brain. Not the body.
As a Christian who believes in the doctrine of Creation, Incarnation, Bodily Resurrection, Bodily Ascension, and future bodily resurrection for believers, I could never agree with Gender Ideologues nor the bodily harm they recommend to confused people.
