Suicide in the Trans Community
29 Aug 2020 Leave a comment
Better a live daughter than a dead son!
This blog is in response to the consistent use of versions of the above phrase. Parents are being told a failure to comply with medicalisation, for their “gender confused” offspring, will result in a significant risk of suicide. Lobbying organisations are using suicide rates of “trans” kids to influence public policy, advocate for legislative change and dictate clinical guidelines for kids/teens with Gender Dysphoria. Despite the headline grabbing claims the data does not stand up to scrutiny.
A selection of headlines:
A more recent one from September2019 includes a direct demand that legal change is required to mitigate against these suicides:
These are not isolated examples. This theme is used consistently by lobby groups, in particular, Mermaids. Below is a link to a taped Mermaids representative in a training session. When an audience member notes that some academics have criticised…

World’s greatest card trick

Here’s magician Dave Cremin performing a stupendous card trick in Times Square. Don’t miss it! I have no idea how he does the trick, or make the card man, but perhaps a reader knowledgeable about magic can tell us.
Quick change act fools Penn and Teller
29 Aug 2020 Leave a comment
The magicians Penn and Teller have a television show called “Fool Us”, in which aspiring magicians do their best tricks in front of the duo. If they can’t figure out how the trick is done, the entrant “wins,” and at least some of them get invited to perform in Penn and Teller’s show in Las Vegas.
Here’s a new video showing a winner: Léa Kyle does the well known “quick change act” in which a full change of clothes appears instantaneously on the magician. You can see how it’s done with just one or two changes by looking for “quick change act” on YouTube, but in this act Kyle instantaneously changes clothes eight times in four minutes, plus does a bunch of other magic stuff.
It’s amazing, and Penn appears especially astonished. I have no idea how she does it.
