I live in New Zealand, having washed up on these shores over twenty years ago after travelling the world teaching with my husband, but originally from the UK. It has been shocking to see and feel our rights being striped away. It gathered steam about eight years ago and now none of this is organic. As always, follow the money and the regimes which seek to dominate the ‘west’. Big Pharma, big tech and main stream media are now working hand in hand, some perhaps unaware and others pretending not to be aware, with those regimes.
We all need to wake up to this and how certain groups have been captured and manipulated to cause chaos and dysfunction. Having voices and platforms such as yours are a life saver and we, (my wonderful husband and I ) thank you.
Like so many others I have had to shift from my usual painting and poetry to write about what is going on and help to share info’ and links etc to help others to understand what is going on and how to defeat all the madness of the propaganda etc. The ‘trans’ weapon and the attempts to erase women and girls and sex along with traditional families and faith are the foundations which they are attempting to destroy. I could ramble on but instead hope that you will have a look at some of the stuff I have written on my substack- bluebirdtui rhyme & reason. You’ll also see some of my paintings, photography and poetry there.
I also post on Triggernometry on LOCALS .
Keep in touch. To quote Kellie-Jay, ‘We will win!’
Check out the story of the female politician in Victoria Australia that attended a rally attended by Posie and was subsequently suspended by her party for her association with a far right extremist. This occurred the same week as the NZ rally. The Victorian Premier called Posie’s supporters Nazis. That Premier is now currently in China espousing the wonders of the CCP and that without China, Victoria Australia wouldn’t exist. It seems he’s forgotten China’s history of persecuting it’s own. Australia is unofficially a Chinese State.
Today I'd like to chime in about 2 things: some herstory of the TransMEN (REALLY important to call it what it is!) problem and also about "Season of the Witch"
Let's go back to the long ugly story of the Michigan WOMEN'S Music Fest where you will find the beginnings of the TransMEN problem. They were demanding entrance to the festival, even with their stuff hanging out. They began protesting across the road from the Fest, intimidating women attending. This became so intense that Fest organizers had to pack it in. That Fest had been a great gathering of lesbian, hetero, bi WOMEN for decades. The TransMEN shut it down in 2015. They just couldnt stand one week every year for WOMEN to gather without them in Michigan. Despicable.
Part 2: As a Witch and Priestess of the Goddess, I can tell you that many organizations, circles and groves of Witches are totally on-board with the TransMEN agenda. Many have policies that say, "If you have lived as a woman for X months, you are welcome at WOMEN's Circles." This is policy at some Dianic Circles that are supposed to be for "Women Born Women."
A few years ago at a Witch convention, a "Dianic" circle was presenting a Self-Blessing in which participants could be skyclad (ie naked) and they asked that only Women Born Women attend the event. (In a sacred women's space who wants to see TransMEN's stuff flapping around? And you can bet they would opt for skyclad!) The response from TransMEN and their supporters was so angry that it had to be cx'd.
There is one Priestess who has been vocal about the issue of TransMEN in Dianic Circles and at MichFest.She has been attacked and called out for her ProWOMEN stance---
Ruth Barrett , Priestess, musician, writer: " For other lesbian Dianics, as well as heterosexual and bisexual Dianics, excluding males from participation in ritual is not born from a rejection of males but rather an embracing of women’s unique biological rites of passage and how living in female body in a patriarchal world informs and effects our lives. "
She is contributing editor of the anthology, Female Erasure - What You Need To Know About Gender Politics' War On Woman, the Female Sex and Human Rights (Tidal Time Publishing, LLC, 2016).
She gave the 2015 spirituality keynote address at the National Women’s Music Festival, titled Our Holy Book Has Always Been Our Female Flesh and Blood: Embodied Feminist Spirituality, Women’s Mysteries vs. Gender-ism.
In INTERVIEW 2016: " In today’s political climate of intolerance for differing points of view, any mentioning of female anatomy and societal issues that specifically are about or affect women and girls, are called “transphobic”, “exclusionary”, and worse. People who have questions, concerns, or are simply confused around the issues of gender identity and sex biology, are often silenced through instant name calling, or by witnessing how those who speak up are being bullied or threatened. I am only one of many who have experienced this kind of treatment, and this has been going on for some time. I don’t think this is a positive course if we want a truly free society where values are demonstrated when diverse ideas or points of view are encouraged, critically examined, and respectfully debated. There are many of us, regardless of our positions on these issues, who cannot support the silencing and suppression of information that helps inform and contribute to a deeper understanding of these issues. A progressive society whose empathetic moral values of equality for all of its citizens has the capacity to ensure rights and safety without removing the rights to safety from other oppressed people within its care. "
about the book: " These perspectives come at a time when gender identity politics and profits from an emerging medical transgenderism industry for children, teens, and adults inhibit our ability to have meaningful discussions about sex, gender, changing laws that have provided sex-based protections for women and girls, and the re-framing of language referring to females as a distinct biological class. "
Anyway, my point is that this TransMEN crap goes back a few decades. My experience in recent times is that some witches will light the pyres of their own kind! Certainly, laws making self-ID the rule have added to the problem.
“This is how the fear of witches can overrule reason and unleash the darkest, most punitive passions of the mob.” Well, I guess there is some comparison there.”Fear of witches” is real. Parker P is not and even JKR probably isn’t. But the Inquisition and Witch Trials were orchestrated by religious zealots, fueled by hysteria. This is TransMEN attacking women. I’m calling it misogynistic rage! there’s no Pope or church hierarchy behind this. (OK, maybe Soros $ is helping them…) (OK, maybe there's "a new religion called transgenderism"....)
Is it my imagination or was this not really an issue until children started being exposed to drags at library, having gender studies in grade school, etc. When it was TransMEN demanding inclusion to WOMEN'S/LESBIAN'S spaces and festivals it just wasn't important enough.
BTW: Although I would object to this "inclusion" of TransMEN in WOMEN's sacred space, I'm not welcome anyway because I am unvaxxed. So much woke-ism!
Thank you, the whole thing is pure demonic insanity, drug fueled. Eliana Rubashkyn is reported as pouring tomato juice on Kellie-Jay Keen. I gather Eliana has Ukrainian Jewish origins on her mothers side. So perhaps she thought she was pouring 'jews' on Kellie!
Bad joke I know, bu I find it so bizarre. It looks like Eliana has been abused sexually and as a pharmacist one seriously wonders what drugs she has taken.
This is much of what the transgender movement is about, poisonous neuro-toxic vaccines and drugs poisoning the minds of the children and young adults so they do not know themselves any more.
Big pharma need to be destroyed so that these poor people are not feed with these evil medications, then there is hope for rehabilitating them. Otherwise they will destroy themselves and society.
It's all quite frightening. Thanks for being in the fray! (Mark Crispin Miller, NYU propaganda prof, has also just written about this. Here: https://substack.com/inbox/post/98204584 )
Me, I'm unsure that the issue of gender politics is worthy of the energy people put into it.
I'm not a troll or opposition and follow Trish because I'm unhappy with authoritarian politics. But this is why I'm troubled about our side of the gender debate.
Given where I'm commenting, I totally think Trish is right that there's a very problematic game-of-the-day that seems to legitimize shaming. I recall feeling unhappy when watching that "game of thrones" episode, where some woman was frog marched through the townspeople while they hurled abuse at her. Was it ten years ago? But I had this feeling it reflected something that I'd just started to notice in our local media. I'd lived in China for 10 years and I was familiar with similar things that happened during the cultural revolution, which was a lot more recent than Salem. (The nazi youth had similar rituals I think). And the media was maybe just starting it's transition towards the same kind of language.
I agree the media is trying to annihilate women who don't buy into the faith, and that's deeply bad.
But onto my controversial opinion.
The whole TG thing might be a momentary weirdness in our society, and something that is best ignored.
When I was a rebellious teenager I decided to be a punk (1980 :) ). I guess 5% to 10% of my home class were like me.
But, in 2023 that would be a little too weird. Instead, maybe, in 2023, I'd choose to be a girl?
That's annoying to even type, because a) I'm perfect comfortable being a guy, b) it's not possible.
But... I get that - for some kid - they're behaving like a punk in the 80's, or having a tattoo in the zeros. They don't like how they feel, they see what looks like an attractive alternative, and want to shout it out.
I know that there are people giving drugs to five year old girls who prefer shorts and five year old boys who prefer tutus. But imho the drug-givers are a miniscule number, and just an over promoted false flag, fed to us by the media to help fuel the war.
More numerically significant are the teen girls and teen dudes choosing to remove bits of their body so as to flip gender. But really, there are lots of us who still have the bits, but they don't work right - but we have tech/science solutions.
So my "thesis" is that what we're dealing with - in volume - is regular teenage angst. I think it's been hijacked by older people (like most of us). I think it will pass; just as Mohican haircuts have. Meanwhile the teenagers who outlive us, will find a new rebellion de jour.
Trish, you are correct and justified in your sense of alarm, horror and above all - urgency. I happen to be a man (In the Oldspeak sense). I also happen to be white, and I might add for flavour - rural. I can be rough around the edges, and often my grammar is lousy. From all outward appearances, these attributes do not make me a prime candidate for being a feminist activist.
But even I can see that this - the sudden and apparently universal rise of trans-activism and all its violence and collateral damage;its inversions of definitions; its subversions of reality - is no grassroots, bottom-up, or benignly emergent social trend. This is top-down social engineering, and, for the psychopaths instituting it and playing us all like a fiddles, it is one of the many military-grade campaigns tearing apart the social fabric of the entirety of western culture in these latter days.
What is so deeply frustrating and discouraging and distressing is that you can't get many people to see it for what it is and to divine its true purpose. To the extent that they are even aware of it, all they see is the top-most layer of it, the "window display" version. At best they will see it as somewhat clownish, or merely an irksome aberration, readily dismissed. I marvel at the sinister and diabolical effectiveness of its mindfuckery. I have several women around me, including my own life partner, as well as some former lefty friends whom I've lost to Covid dementia, who simply cannot see what is right in front of them. They remain convinced that this campaign is truly about acceptance, tolerance, diversity, oblivious to the fact that every institution, from your local school board to Hershey's chocolate to Goldman Sachs to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are all magically behind this in harmonic unison. Nothing fishy here folks???
For the moment, it is women who are in the crosshairs of this demonic campaign, but I can assure you it's coming for everyone, or at any rate anyone who insists on resisting and protecting human dignity, human sovereignty and the basic sanctity of personhood we all thought we agreed on just a few short years ago.
The campaign, which includes CRT, SOGI, transition surgery, and a host of other macabre offshoots too numerous to mention, is meant to inflict collective chaos, friction, bewilderment, fear, anger and existential vertigo upon the population. It preys upon the atomization, the anomie, on Desmet's "free-floating anxiety", and upon the loss of identity that a mass and mass-mediated society has induced. All of it is designed to relieve us of any connection to bedrock or to each other; to "soften us up". In their twisted version of "Zee feutchah", existence itself will be "fluid", provisional and likely a rented service.
For anyone who cares to notice, there is a war on everything underway presently. Yes, there is a war on women, and some other women who fail to see it have been mindlessly conscripted into it as "enemy combatants" against their own kind. And too many "legacy" men are standing by like nothing is the matter. But the war is much larger even than this. There is a war against fetuses, newborns, babies and toddlers. Just ask Naomi Wolf about that, and the increasing numbers of obstetricians and others stepping forward with the gathering evidence of the harm and lethality of the "interventions". There is a war on fertility and reproduction. There is a war on humanity, and fundamentally a war on life. Make no mistake.
There is a war on children and young adults: they are being indoctrinated into what will eventually materialize as a transhumanist paradigm and project whose ambitions are nothing less than imperial and totalitarian.
He is not going to reveal his sources as Taibbi didn't under questioning of Congress. Any journo who does should be discredited immediately. I've already done the interview and what he says rings true -- given the evidence and his credentials. The push-back is a fanciful story designed by the CIA to protect Biden from his own mistakes. I think his writing makes that clear and his interview with me does too. He is one of the few left that I look up to. He is not a C. and likely votes Democrat if he votes. He goes after the security state with impeccable sources including Abu Ghraib and My Lai.
Trish when you talk with Seymour Hersh can you check his sources. Some say he has no real verifiable source and that he would have been fed with a narrative that is intentional.
Hi Trish, I paid/subscribed to Seymour Hersh based on your recommendation. I was disappointed to see that his posts (other than the first) don't allow discussion? For me, that's 50% of the value in substack - A writer presents their research and opinion, then readers discuss amongst ourselves and (hopefully) become better informed as a result. If you talk with him again, maybe you can share the feedback? I get that he might be worried that he needs to participate? I like that you do, but eg Matt doesn't, and the comments are still valuable :)
Thanks for raising this important issue Trish which as a woman (and not a “person who menstruates”) I am deeply concerned about. Have you listened to the “Witch Trials of JK Rowling” yet? I highly recommend the podcast series. One thing I would just gently push back against in your Substack piece is your use of the term “gender-studies madrassas”. I know you are referring to the unfortunate use of religious schools in Afghanistan by the Taliban to indoctrinate young boys into radical militants but the term is actually an Arabic word meaning an educational institution which refers to any place of learning, both secular and religious. Referring to madrassas pejoratively is kinda offensive to Muslims like myself who are definitely on the side of biological women’s right to safe spaces and should be treated as allies in these current culture wars. I am sure I dont have to remind you of the history of the imperialist proxy war between Russia and America in Afghanistan that led to the eventual rise of the Taliban (and the religious madrassas which the West was quite happy to support as they pumped out cannon fodder to fight the Russian commies) and the illegal war in Iraq that led to the rise of ISIS in the Middle East. Decades of failed American foreign policy is behind much of the rise of Islamist militancy in the Muslim world and this context should be remembered when referring to extremist movements. However I can tell you that the majority of Muslims that I know are horrified by the rise of the woke mob and its authoritative and even violent activism and denial of basic biological facts. We are your allies and as you said in your piece “we must come together before it is too late”.
Marshal McLuhan pointed out way back in the 60's that if you push something hard enough, it will flip into its opposite. There are so many examples of that happening right now that it's hard to know where to begin. Similarly, Marx pointed out that capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction. He was right, but failed to extend the concept to include *anything* that is pushed too hard, communism included.
That's not to say that in the transition there won't be casualties. Unfortunately there are always casualties. The point is not to become one yourself. This will help you avoid that:
That "men helped set up the ideological framework" suggests that women started it and the men pitched in. Women did not have a hand in the transgender ideological movement. It's by men for their own ends.
Thanks so much for speaking to Kellie Jay.

I am sure I dont have to remind you of the history of the imperialist proxy war between Russia and America in Afghanistan that led to the eventual rise of the Taliban (and the religious madrassas which the West was quite happy to support as they pumped out cannon fodder to fight the Russian commies) and the illegal war in Iraq that led to the rise of ISIS in the Middle East. Decades of failed American foreign policy is behind much of the rise of Islamist militancy in the Muslim world and this context should be remembered when referring to extremist movements. However I can tell you that the majority of Muslims that I know are horrified by the rise of the woke mob and its authoritative and even violent activism and denial of basic biological facts. We are your allies and as you said in your piece “we must come together before it is too late”.
The quiet ones must speak out. Our gay friends must take the risk and put a stop to it.
Marshal McLuhan pointed out way back in the 60's that if you push something hard enough, it will flip into its opposite. There are so many examples of that happening right now that it's hard to know where to begin. Similarly, Marx pointed out that capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction. He was right, but failed to extend the concept to include *anything* that is pushed too hard, communism included.
That's not to say that in the transition there won't be casualties. Unfortunately there are always casualties. The point is not to become one yourself. This will help you avoid that:

That "men helped set up the ideological framework" suggests that women started it and the men pitched in. Women did not have a hand in the transgender ideological movement. It's by men for their own ends.
