In the Japan of 2020, women's bodies are still a kind of comfort that can be bought and consumed when you need it.. "Comfort women' first for the Japanese army, then for the allies, then again for employees on company outings, and now also for other women. It is the so-called 'lesbian prostitution'. (lesbian fūzoku).

This is not about prostitution within the lesbian community, but an attempt to expand the prostitution 'market' to women. A real encouragement to the "cannibalism'.which echoes an old derogatory term for lesbians, tomogui ('cannibals').

In recent years, the phenomenon has seen a small boom, fuelled and publicised by the media, for example the manga "Out of sadness I went to the lesbian brothel. Report" di Nagata Kabi, a best-seller in 2016. This is not an erotic comic book: it tells of the twisted psyche of the protagonist, a 28-year-old woman with no sexual experience who may be suffering from depression. Publications such as this, as well as "reportages", have helped raise awareness of this type of venue, provoking a sudden increase in the number of customers and also of women asking to 'work' there.

Prostituzione "lesbica": a Tokyo “comfort women” per donne depresse
Nagata Kabi: Out of sadness I went to the lesbian brothel. Report

The so-called 'lesbian brothel'. is proposed to all women as an 'experience', and almost as a solution to loneliness, or an antidote to the trauma caused by male violence. Paying customers can get a taste of lesbian sexuality without being lesbians. Like the protagonist of the manga, they are largely women, from the office worker who may have been harassed at work, to the housewife who spends her life in a gilded cage. Some of the clients are also women who 'work' in the sex industry for men. Rather than leaving prostitution, they report harassment or break up an unhappy marriage, they are offered 'consolation'. temporarily exploiting the sexuality and human warmth of another woman.

Despite being proposed as a solution, so-called 'lesbian prostitution' plays into the hands of the old patriarchal system. a way of dividing women and distracting them from criticism. At the same time, it brings lesbian sexuality back into the service of the masculine logic of capitalism, and makes it possible to monetising violence against women, turning their trauma into a business.

'We were wrong': pioneer of puberty blockers admits damage
Susan Bradley, a Canadian psychiatrist who founded a clinic for 'dysphoric' minors in the 1970s and an authority in this field today states that the switch from psychological therapy to drugs was a big mistake. Because their effects are severe and not reversible, because those treatments are 'authoritarian' and experimental. And because in 9 out of 10 cases children's dysphoria is only temporary and masks other disorders.
In an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation, Dr Susan Bradley, a Canadian psychiatrist and a pioneer in the treatment of gender dysphoria in children, spoke out against the popular model of affirming children's transgender identities and treating them with puberty-blocking drugs, a practice she had participated in in the past. Bradley had opened a paediatric clinic in 1975 for children suffering from gender dysphoria, a profound sense of unease concerning the [...]

UK: Inquiry book published on the Tavistock case, clinic that 'cured' autistic children by transitioning them
BBC journalist Hanna Barnes struggled hard to find a publisher: the censorship we all know. But she finally made it. And now her sensational essay on the scandal of the Tavistock, a clinic for the transition of minors closed by the British National Health Service: puberty blockers casually prescribed to preadolescents with autism, trauma or psychological disorders. For years some staff tried to raise the alarm, but were intimidated and silenced. This is an entirely political issue, because the health of children is at stake. Thousands throughout the West lured by hammering trans-propaganda
Hanna Barnes is a BBC journalist. After conducting a thorough investigation of the Tavistock clinic in London, a centre for the gender transition of minors, and having discovered the wickedness of that service, she decided to turn it into a book. But it was not at all easy to find a publisher willing to publish it. Not because Barnes's work was not documented and rigorous, but because no publishing house could withstand the likely accusation of transphobia that the publication of the [...]

The trans-industry on the assault of children
The huge business - drugs and surgery - attracts more and more investors. To widen the audience they work on social networks and in schools where they teach that Zeus was non-binary, celebrate every transition and threaten those who resist, as a 14-year-old English girl tells the Daily Mail. While in the US, the former manager of a gender clinic for minors spills the beans: what goes on in those places is appalling. They must be stopped. Two impressive testimonies
The complex and articulated system to which we call transactivism (read business: thanks to Jennifer Bilek for her meticulous investigative work) has long been working to create an ever-widening audience of drug and surgery users to transition: for surgery alone, turnover in 2022 was $623 million (Global Market Insight, an agency that directs investors to the best opportunities), a figure expected to increase exponentially in the [...].

Holland: if you block the development of girls and boys you push them to become trans
The protocol - pausing puberty to allow minors to 'choose' their sex - they invented. But even the Dutch now admit that in 9 out of 10 cases blockers no longer give time to 'decide' but are the start of the transition. A self-fulfilling prophecy. And that the effects of these drugs are by no means reversible
Amsterdam University Clinic UMC, a pioneer in the use of puberty blockers, has admitted that children taking these drugs may find themselves locked into increased medicalisation. The admission comes following the publication earlier this month of a new retrospective study examining 20 years of hormonal interventions known as the 'Dutch protocol', conducted on 1,766 children and adolescents between 1972 and 2018 at the famed Amsterdam clinic and published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. But [...]

Transgender' children: it's social contagion. Even the largest trans association admits it
Tik Tok, Youtube and others: the president of WPATH, the world association for trans health, forced to admit that influencers play a large part in the epidemic of transitions among minors, a phenomenon denied by Western progressives who brand every alarm as transphobia. But they do not stop pushing for medicalisation and early surgery
The Honourable Alessandro Zan, first signatory of the infamous bill on gender identity, which ended up in the knighthouse, had denied the dizzying increase in cases of transition of girls and boys, calling the news a 'dangerous statement'. In 2021 there were already numerous statistics indicating the extent of the problem, but apparently Zan was not aware of it - which is unacceptable - or pretended not to know, or more likely ideologically believed that the mere fact of posing the question should be considered proof [...].

Femelliste, a gender critical 'sister' platform is born in France
Harassed, insulted, mocked, threatened: French feminists have collected and catalogued the attacks transactivists have suffered for years. And they have set up an information and training site against the dictatorship of transgender ideology
The name of the site is a play on words that cannot be translated into Italian. The site's creators inform that it has already been used by animal feminists such as Posie Parker, Nicole Roelens and the Boucherie Abolition collective. It would make one think of anti-specism, it is actually more and in some respects a little different. 'Femelle' in French means the female animal (for the human one, the same word as woman, femme, is used). Since they fight for sexual rights [...]
