Film recommendation – Steelers

Start your week with a sporting endeavour – which also explores mental health and the importance of community. STEELERS (currently on Amazon Prime) tells the story of the ‘world’s first gay rugby club’, which was set up in 1995 in London’s Kings Cross.

Agenda pushing ‘gender dysphoria’ is a mental health illness

Let’s get one thing straight ! no pronouns will cure gender dysphoria. It is a mental health illness which can be regulated with therapy. The denial of therapy being the key success to regulation is simply absurd while the belief that labels and pronouns ‘they’ and ‘them’ are of great assistance. Such allegation parallels that of ‘all schizophrenics can be treated by admitting that the hallucinations are real’. When someone suffers from a mental health illness, the first point is to find the source of the problem. The definition of gender dysphoria by the NHS is as follows ‘a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there's a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity’. It's sometimes known as gender incongruence.’ In other words, to cure gender in...
