Meet Alex Bertie the Transgender Poster Boy

The little girl who was once Alex Bertie liked action figures, toy cars and Lego. Above all she loved video games: her favourite times were sitting beside her father, Paul, a postman, while he played Nintendo and Dreamcast. Consequently at primary school her friends were all boys. “The guys were like, ‘I can’t believe I’ve found a girl who likes video games.’ And to them that’s like gold, isn’t it?”

I was a little girl who liked: transformers, robots, playing soccer, building tree houses, racing cars...which grew into a love for motorcycles, electric guitars, leather work, brewing beer...

I am a femme lesbian (tried to go down the butch route but I am just very feminine looking) and THANK FUCK my parents didn't even think about transitioning me.

I remember aged about 5 getting all my long blonde hair cut off because I thought it would turn me into a boy. Why did I want to be a boy? Because they got to do all the fun things. Not because I was born in the wrong fucking body.

In September, starting at a huge new secondary school, Alex and her girlfriend found themselves surrounded by a jeering gang. News had spread. Alex felt panicked, anxious. She hadn’t even told her parents. “I was known as the ‘weird lesbian girl’ and nobody would speak to me, and suddenly it was just really hard, because I’d never found it difficult to make friends really.” She’d go over to her old mates, the video-game boys, but they’d walk away. “My sexuality tainted their perception of me entirely.” Among the post-pubescent “masculine” boys and “feminine” girls she was an oddity: a masculine girl. “I was the misshapen cookie, the one made at the end with the leftover dough that gets burnt and no one wants to eat."

“At 15, I fully understood I’m supposed to be male,” Alex says. On YouTube he discovered many other female-to-male video bloggers, changed his girl birth name to Alex and started to strap down his breasts with too-tight swimsuits, before ordering a special breast binder online. “Suddenly,” he says, “my teachers looked out for me in class.”

They’d hold meet-ups in Hyde Park. “No one uses the word ‘lesbian’ any more,” she says. “It’s so uncool. It has really negative connotations.” Rather, these short-haired androgynous girls, many of whom had previously self-harmed, started to identify as boys. Some went by male names only online, others just among close friends. A few were “socially transitioned”: out as male to family and school. “It’s weird,” says Jessie. “It’s as if a switch is flicked and suddenly you feel different. I felt I will no longer be that weird girl who dresses like a boy. I will be a boy.”

Why do so many teenage girls now believe they are boys? Not just in Britain and the US, but across the western world, the number of female referrals to gender clinics has soared. A decade ago, girls were a fraction of patients at the Gender Identity Clinic in London, the UK’s main child gender service. But in 2011-12 girls surpassed boys, and now comprise 70 per cent of all cases: around 140 new girls every month. Typically they present at puberty, having hitherto never questioned their natal sex, and 90 per cent are gay: clinicians are calling it “rapid onset gender dysphoria”.

Disquiet among professionals has been growing, but until now few have spoken out, terrified of breaching a new orthodoxy that gender transition must always be “affirmed”, even celebrated, since it is the brave expression of the true self. Even if that person is a troubled 14-year-old girl.

James Caspian, a gender psychotherapist for 16 years, has helped many patients transition: he has no doubt that some people cannot live happy lives unless they do. But around seven years ago, his patient base began to change: his clients were younger and predominantly female. Most were lesbians and many had mental co-morbidities such as autism, depression or anxiety; others had suffered sexual abuse. All saw changing gender as a panacea. Yet Caspian believed this to be a fallacy: he discovered a growing US community of lesbian detransitioners (patients who change their mind). But when he tried to research this at Bath Spa University, his MA was blocked by the ethics committee as “politically incorrect”.

It's homophobia. The new gay conversion therapy.

by Anonymousreply 16November 12, 2017 6:38 PM

A woman I will call Dr K expresses years of frustration dealing with an unacknowledged epidemic of dysphoric teenage girls. “They are all the same, dozens and dozens of them. Short hair, boys’ clothes, probably liked rough and tumble play as small children. Now they like comic books or skateboarding or video gaming. Geeky, gauche, not many friends. They came out as lesbians, but then they went on Reddit and Tumblr and saw these transitioning videos. They decide they are trans. Suddenly they get lots of attention with everyone calling them by a new name, they get to chide anyone who uses the wrong pronoun while everyone tells them they are brave. They might get a special assembly at school.”

What we can’t underestimate, says Dr K, is the sheer homophobia outside middle-class liberal bubbles. “Lesbian” is at worst a grave insult, at best uncool. “The gay hierarchy is this,” she says. “At the top are gay men who can pass as straight, then camp gay men, then pretty, straight-passing lesbians. And right at the very bottom are butch lesbians. Masculine women have no cachet. But if you transition, you zoom right over the gay hierarchy to become a straight man. You can hold your girlfriend’s hand in public. As a butch woman you were unattractive, but lots of them become these cute little guys.”

Then, she says, there are the autistic girls, many undiagnosed. With a typically heightened sensory awareness, they find puberty particularly distressing, while a tendency to rigid categorical thinking means they see society’s pink and blue gender boxes and, if they like “male” clothes or pursuits, believe they must be physically reclassified.

Other girls who have been sexually abused simply wish to escape their vulnerable, desired female bodies. Dr K recalls one patient who came from a very troubled, violent family, where older female relatives were raped. “This girl was very tough, a real survivor. She’d gone through so much. And she said, ‘I can’t be female because girls are fragile and weak, and I don’t feel like that.’ ”

Trans ideology is celebrated as progressive yet, says Dr K, it is deeply conservative, erasing homosexuality and enforcing gender stereotypes. Which is why, says another child clinician, Dr B, it has taken such a hold. “Parents, particularly those without much education, see it as the obvious solution. If your child had diabetes, you’d get him prescribed insulin. If your gay daughter is masculine and feels she’s a boy, you take her to the doctor for hormones. This is the narrative of trans activists groups such as Mermaids and it makes sense to a lot of people. It is far harder to challenge stereotypes, to be ‘gender critical’."

Doesn't that say it all about the trans movement? For many, it isn't based on any kind of medical need, it's just what's cool.

I feel sorry for those who actually are trans - as they said to begin with, they just wanted to be able to transition to their real sex medically and legally. And then they got hijacked by these attention-seekers who want to create entirely new genders - with attendant new rules - so they can yell about how special they are.

by Anonymousreply 28November 14, 2017 2:58 AM

This whole bullshit movement is making me furious. Firstly Trans people are not some new 'thing'. There are individuals like April Ashley who were just making the best of their lives 50 years ago. It was all very black and white. One gender trapped inside the physical other gender. They acknowledged how it felt and the aim was to transition across and then live their lives without fuss.

But this absolute poison has entered society. A movement that seems to be designed to conform to traditional male and female stereotypes and say that any child who is not conforming to the stereotype of their born gender must therefore be Trans! It is like correcting some apparent mistake at birth.

Its purpose is seemingly to erase butch lesbians or camp men and instead force kids to make decisions that could not only effect but destroy the rest of their lives.

The comments in this article about "straight acting gay men being at the top of the tree" effectively sums it all up. Let's basically make lesbians heterosexual men as this is societies ideal. Then we will turn any feminine males into females and tell them they have to conform to stereotypes feminists have been fighting for years.

It's not enough we've drugged spirited kids up with Ritalin, we are now going to force them to conform to a plastic gender ideal.

[quote]Outbreak: On Transgender Teens and Psychic Epidemics Lisa Marchiano Pages 345-366 | Published online: 06 Oct 2017 Currently, we appear to be experiencing a significant psychic epidemic that is manifesting as children and young people coming to believe that they are the opposite sex, and in some cases taking drastic measures to change their bodies. Of particular concern to the author is the number of teens and tweens suddenly coming out as transgender without a prior history of discomfort with their sex.

“Rapid-onset gender dysphoria” is a new presentation of a condition that has not been well studied. Reports online indicate that a young person's coming out as transgender is often preceded by increased social media use and/or having one or more peers also come out as transgender. These factors suggest that social contagion may be contributing to the significant rise in the number of young people seeking treatment for gender dysphoria.

Current psychotherapeutic practice involves immediate affirmation of a young person's self-diagnosis, which often leads to support for social and even medical transition. Although this practice will likely help small numbers of children, there may also be many false positives.

The thing that really concerns me is that there are so many doctors, including psychiatrists, willing to go along with this even though they are fully aware that a child cannot make that kind of permanently life-altering decision.

Do we let our children get married at 11, even though they could get divorced if they changed their minds? Do we let them even drive?

No, so why should society encourage children, no matter how much they, their peer group, their delusional parents (a significant % of the time fundies of Judaism/Christianity/Islam, who don't want a gay child) think that they are the opposite sex, to do something that is so physically damaging and IRREVERSIBLE?!?!?

It's madness, but it fits into the times: we have allowed a world to form where feelings matter more than facts. We can see that in Trump voters and we can see that in Transgender activists.

One of the many completely hypocritical stances that society is taking on the Transgender agenda is that on Tumblr you have kids nattering on endlessly about their genders and their pronouns, but they also natter on endlessly about "triggering" and "safe spaces" - so how can they not connect that to survivors of sexual assault a penis in a locker room is the ultimate "trigger" in a "safe space"?

These kids can't deal with a rape survivor recounting her experience, but they expect this same rape survivor to be fine with a 6'3" man in stilettos, a wig, lacy underwear AND A PENIS, in their locker room?

Sweetheart @R55- I didn't know what a TERF was a year ago. Thanks to the the DL and some of the linked websites, I have been educated regarding the sinister Trans Agenda and now I am taking action. I know a lot of globally and nationally prominent people and I am educating them RE: puberty blockers, autogynephiles, the cotton ceiling (i.e., Transbians sexual harassment of lesbians), the erasure of gay men, etc., and ad nauseam.

Right now, Trans are riding on the backs of the LGB, because they have successfully conflated Trans issues with LGB issues. Once the "average" person realizes that the Trans Agenda has nothing to do with the LG agenda, and is actually very damaging to LG, especially LG kids, the Trans will be exposed for the mentally-ill, and very cunning, grifters that they are.

Bruce Jenner, who gets turned on by wearing his daughter's underpants, is not a woman. In their heart of hearts, the vast majority of Americans know that, but right now it's not PC to say it. Once the Trans Agenda is questioned from the Left, it will be PC to question it, and the Trans Agenda will be exposed.

The parents have to take out a new Insurance Policy called Parental Gender Selection Protection. This means that if a child gets into adulthood and believes the parents encouragment of their choosing the opposing gender ruined their life, that child has a right to make a claim against their parent for extensive damages. The case being they were not of mature enough mind to make that decision for themselves.

Let's see how many parents are so confident their child would ever feel the need to sue, they happily take out that policy before allowing the kid to go Trans!

Dutch researchers recently found that an unusually high percentage of people with BIID (where people want to become disabled-cut off their arms or become paralyzed) are repressed gay men and/or Christians. Trans are also often repressed gay men or from Christian families who would rather their gay children become the other sex than be gay.

I will link to the study if I can find it again.

Transabled tranny Chloe Jennings White appeared on the short lived talk show of DL fave Anderson Cooper. The fact that this fucker gets out of his wheelchair to go hiking is infuriating as actual paras don't have that option.

I saw a program about BIID years ago and it really freaked me out. There was crazy blackmail stuff like “if I can’t have the surgery, I’ll just put my legs on train tracks and wait.”

This guy was a big tranny surgeon who found out he could get dough lopping off other healthy organs. He was a shitty tranny surgeon too. Anyhow, he went to prison after cutting off an old guy's leg for his paraphilia, the guy died in a shit hotel room near Tijuana.

Most gender-non conforming children grow up to be gay. More importantly the ones who end up trans are indistinguishable from the ones who end up as gay. There are laws in Canada that let the government take away children if the parents don't go along with their trans identity despite that child having no capacity to consent to puberty blocking drugs or related hormone therapy. It's ex-gay therapy rebranded for leftwing eyes.

Yeah. And it is a more extreme and vicious one that you cannot talk about. You can only say it is wonderful.

Worse than even that, R90. If you do talk about it, you are threatened, de-platformed, harassed, and cast out of polite society. No matter how much you have fought for gay and lesbian rights, you instantly become a bigot if you question any of the T agenda.

Some straight parents I know pulled me aside at a party to tell me this “wonderful” story about how they had a dinner conversation with their young daughters, 4 and 2, about being whatever gender they feel like they are. They were beaming, telling me how they pressed the youngest to tell them if she felt more like a boy or a girl, and that the decision was completely up to her. They thought that I, their token gay friend, would give them high-fives. Not sure if they could tell that I was instead appalled.

by Anonymousreply 93November 16, 2017 12:22 PM

Yeah, that's it . They really think they "get" it when all they got was more sexist, homophobic crap. And yes they think gay people approve. A lot of people are followers and this appeals to ingrained homophobia and sexism. There are no people in the media or "LGBT" speaking out against this (who are not censored) so they think they are doing the right thing. They are told every day this is the right thing.

The censoring is what is allowing this to continue.

by Anonymousreply 94November 16, 2017 12:26 PM

Yes it should have r92 but the majority of people have been successfully fed the narrative of ‘brave’, ‘living my truth’, ‘victim of society’, ‘not harming anyone’ etc., so they firstly don’t know about autogynephiles because the trans deny they even exist, secondly they think they’re supporting gay rights because the T have glommed on to the LGB so firmly, thirdly the T are violently suppressing women who speak out so no one gets to be educated on the reality of mentally ill, sexually aggressive men threatening women with rape and murder.

by Anonymousreply 95November 16, 2017 12:28 PM

Yeah, it is basically people agreed to something they know nothing about. And it is pushed constantly.

by Anonymousreply 96November 16, 2017 12:36 PM

That's why it's important for gays and lesbians to speak out all the time. I call and email constantly, providing facts regarding the transing of children and the incredible dangers of puberty blockers, the harassment of lesbians, the co-morbidity of gender dysphoria with Cluster B personality disorders and autism, and the idea that erasing biological sex is unscientific, but it also erases gays and lesbians, because if there's no biological sex, there is no same sex attraction.

So, in fact, the whole Trans Agenda is deeply homophobic, as well as misogynistic, and that far from being allies to gays and lesbians, by supporting the Trans Agenda they are supporting gay erasure.

Don't stay silent, call the Trans Agenda out, because when the pushback comes from "the Left" and from gays and lesbians themselves, the virtue-signaling "progressives" are much more likely to listen.

Start with Scott Wiener, the fucking moron/ California state senator/self-proclaimed lgbTQ representative, who co-authored the bill allowing a non-binary gender designation on California drivers licenses. He's also behind the Throw Granny Under the Tranny bill, which would force female nursing home patients to share facilities with MtT. Fucking shithead.

Call Scott Wiener's office, because his "Gender Recognition Act" (oddly enough, or maybe not, the same name of the bill in the UK that feminists are fighting against) establishing a non-binary option, is supposedly being picked up by other states. This has to be stopped NOW.

I mean this shouldn't be news to anyone when you have trans proponents saying every young boy who doesn't think he's entirely straight must be transitioned, to a trans writer saying gay men are only gay men because they aren't brave enough to transition.

The interesting about the FTM community at large is the invisibility of transmasculine people of color. It's all about the white guys. If you ever check out any of the online communities, media, and famous FTMs. The majority of them are white. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule. For every ten Aydian Dowling's there's only one Laith Ashley.

[Quote]The little girl who was once Alex Bertie liked action figures, toy cars and Lego. Above all she loved video games: her favourite times were sitting beside her father, Paul, a postman, while he played Nintendo and Dreamcast.

None of that makes her a boy. JFC these trans people follow some serious antiquated notions of what it means to be a boy and what it means to be a girl. A boy can have typical "girl" interests and still be a boy, and the other way around. That doesn't make them a different gender. BTW; there is no such thing as gender, it's a social construct. We have two biological sexes, male and female, that's it. "He" will always be a female. He was born a female and will die a female. Humans can't "transition", it's not biologically possible. The DNA will always ID "him" as a girl. You cannot change your chromosomes.

[Quote]while a tendency to rigid categorical thinking means they see society’s pink and blue gender boxes and, if they like “male” clothes or pursuits, believe they must be physically reclassified.

Isn't this what trans is all about though, antiquated gender thinking. If a girl likes "boy" things she has to be a boy. It's stupid, we are better than this. Girls who have female chromosomes are girls, this is biology 101. When did this change? Why are we all of a sudden anti-science? It's such bs.
