While we read everywhere that TikTok has been the most downloaded app -and more profitable- by 2021 worldwide, the Daily Mail publishes an article on the role of the Chinese social network in the increase of girls saying they feel 'trans' in English schools.

According to the analysis of The Mail on Sunday videos with the hashtag #Trans have been viewed more than 26 billion times. Mostly material posted by very young people influencer "transgender' who give advice on how to get surgery and hormones from the opposite sex, presenting them as a good thing. E the first piece of advice is often: 'Don't involve your parents'.

Early 2021 TikTok signed a contract with Stonewall, controversial LGBTQ organisation abandoned by the UK government and major corporations, including the BBC, following accusations of not acting in the public interest (see here).

TikTok is known as 'the youngest social': according to estimates provided by TikTok itself, 66% of users are under 30 years old and most are in the 16-24 age group. Moreover, less than 5% of content creators are over 35 years old (sources here). Indeed, this social is recommended as the most suitable to companies looking to connect with an audience of teenagers or those under 30.

Transizione di bambine-i: quanti vengono "convinti" su TikTok?
A video by FtoM influencer Jaison Jowett, "Heal with me after top surgery!" (mastectomy of healthy breasts to "feel like a man").

The Daily Mail quotes videos with captions such as: "Heal with me after top surgery!" (euphemism for the mastectomy of healthy breasts done solely to 'feel like men'). Another video shows the transformation from 'good little Christian girl' to 'gay atheist transsexual who loves tattoos and chaos'.

"It is no coincidence that the growth of TikTok corresponds exactly to the exponential growth of children with gender dysphoria.. These videos risk leading to a generation of children to believe that 'changing sex' is easy and is the answer to all their problems"says Kate Harris of LGB Alliance.

According to Stephanie Arai-Davies, who works with the detransitioner Keira Bell, TikTok 'is full of videos portraying the medical transition as cool and transgressive. Gender is seen as the new rebellion. These platforms that promote medical transition should be obliged to include a warning on such material'.

UK: out of women's hospital wards men who 'identify' as women
The woke initiative of the British Medical Association, which ordered its members to stop using the terms 'woman' and 'mother', is being answered by the Sunak government, which is reinstating the biological sex criterion and abandoning the gender identity criterion in the health service. Why we need to return to common sense
The battle rages in the UK over the physical and symbolic spaces reserved for women. The British General Medical Council, which in its guidelines ordered the deletion of the words 'woman' and 'mother', is shortly to be answered by the Sunak government's initiative to reinstate the biological sex criterion and abandon gender identity in the health service: MtF transsexuals -that is, biologically male- will no longer be housed in women's hospital wards even if they identify as women. This week [...]

Buying and selling human embryos and foetuses: first EU yes
A draft European Parliament (SoHo) regulation approved by a majority of Liberals, Socialists and Greens definitively opens up the cross-border market for 'substances of human origin' including gametes, embryos and foetuses. With the risk that national legislations may be bypassed by virtue of Brussels' instructions
The European Parliament approved in the first instance a proposal for a regulation that equates human embryos with cells and tissues, calling them 'substances of human origin', and opens the door to eugenics and industrial uses. The proposed regulation on quality and safety standards for substances of human origin intended for human application (or SoHO regulation) was approved on 12 September by a large majority of socialists, greens and liberals, despite the alarm raised by various expert organisations. Officially the [...]

UK, you can no longer say 'woman' or 'mother': woke provisions of the General Medical Council
Decision of unprecedented violence by the British Medical Register: the word woman must be deleted at every level. It cannot even be mentioned when discussing motherhood, childbirth, breastfeeding, menopause. Even 999, the emergency number, can no longer ask what sex the person asking for help is. The woke know very well that the female body is the main obstacle to the transhuman project. And they want to erase it even in language
It keeps happening: women and mothers must also be erased from the vocabulary, at every level. They do not give up because the maternal symbolic is the most resistant obstacle to the transhuman project. We will not give up either. Forget it The General Medical Council -the public body that maintains the official register of doctors in the UK- has replaced the word 'mother' with neutral terms in its maternity guide for staff. The updated guide for employees who become pregnant omits [...]

Female wombs in male bodies
The envious dream of all time -to be able to have children without women, to erase mothers, in short, the Grail- is getting closer and closer to being realised: in five to ten years' time, even biologically male trans people will be able to receive a womb transplant and conduct a gestation. An 'inclusive' wish-right that would improve their quality of life and alleviate the symptoms of dysphoria. While the lives and health of girls and boys born from these practices are of no concern to bioethicists
Euronews reports on the rapid progress of research on the uterus transplantation front, with particular reference to the request of trans MtF people whose bodies remain biologically male, while FtM people, if they retain their female genital apparatus, can undertake a pregnancy like any other woman: the 'pregnant fathers' that the mainstream press likes to report on are none other than women who self-identify as men. In the article, which we translate here, women are referred to as cis- women, suffixed [...]

Appeal to the FDA: no more silence on puberty-blocking drugs
A petition asks the US drug agency -which has never authorised the off-label use of these substances for girls and boys with dysphoria- to counter the misinformation that propagates these treatments as effective and safe and to demand studies to prove it.Between 207 and 2021, the number of minors treated has more than doubled and the FDA can no longer pretend it is blind.
On his site Gender Clinic News Bernard Lane reports on an important petition to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, US drug regulator) to take urgent action on the unapproved (off label) use of hormone suppressant drugs to block puberty in girls and boys who identify as transgender. Although this use has never been approved by the FDA, it is not possible for the agency to ignore the possible harm to minors who are subjected to these [...].

Greece, womb and baby trafficking: babies 'kidnapped', couples stuck waiting
Team from the Mediterranean Fertility Institute in Crete arrested on suspicion of human and gamete trafficking, fraud and forgery. Many dozens of poor women from Eastern Europe persuaded to allow themselves to be exploited in order to supply children to mostly Australian principals

According to Greek police, a group of traffickers had co-opted 160 poor women -Ukrainian, Romanian, Moldavian, Albanian and Georgian- convincing them to provide egg cells and lend themselves as wombs for rent for a few tens of euros per month, housing them in [...]
