A doctor says kids are having panic attacks over using the terms ‘boy’ or ‘girl’

The DailyMail reports:

Queensland doctor Thomas Lyons was conducting an eyesight test with six children when he said he made the discovery.

He showed the children drawings of animals and people and asked them what they saw.

Dr Lyons said four of the children refused to use the terms 'boy' and 'girl' while all six of them became stressed...

“These children, without the knowledge or permission of the principal and parents, had been taught by teachers that the words 'boy' and 'girl' had some kind of bad magic and to utter them would somehow harm people,” said Lyons.

“Watching a six-year-old have a panic attack over use of gender identifying language is disturbing,” he added.

It comes in the wake of the Australian National University directing staff to say ‘chestfeeding’ instead of ‘breastfeeding’ and ‘gestational parent’ in lieu of ‘mother’.

While in the UK, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust has similarly directed hospitals to use PC terms, including ‘human milk’ or ‘chest milk’ instead of ‘breast milk’.

euthanasia 800 002

A Dutch anti-euthanasia campaigner is warning Scotland against legalising assisted suicide, saying the Netherlands should offer a cautionary tale.

The Netherlands legalised euthanasia in 2001.

Henk Reitsema writes in The Times:

My country expected a fall in backdoor euthanasia and the stopping of incremental extension by pinning down the definitions in law. But 20 years later it is clear we were profoundly mistaken.

There has been a massive greying of the lines, with a significant increase in life-shortening treatments that are not being called euthanasia. The term “unbearable suffering” has been expanded from physical suffering to include psychological and existential suffering — now even the term “tired of life” is sufficient. We have also seen the restrictions on age and mental competency shift.

Reitsema says that at the beginning it appeared “reform” had reduced the euthanasia rate:

“From 2001 to 2005 numbers dropped from 3,500 to 2,300. Subsequently they started to rise again and are now at roughly 6,500 cases a year. This is more than 4 per cent of all deaths in any given year.”

After legalising euthanasia, the incentive to improve palliative care has declined and euthanasia moved from being an exceptional situation to the norm, according to Reitsema.

“When euthanasia is ever more frequently used, the tendency is then to move in the direction of euthanising those who are not able to request it owing to dementia or other incapacity. Paradoxically, that which was supposed to provide autonomy could lead to the ultimate loss of autonomy,” wrote Reitsema.

In Australia, there are moves to legalise euthanasia in Tasmania, South Australia, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.

PiersMorgan

British journalist Piers Morgan is sounding the alarm that US President Joe Biden’s transgender 'equality' order will destroy women’s sports.

In the DailyMail, Morgan wrote:

The majority of trans women born to male biological bodies who've gone through puberty are self-evidently going to be bigger, stronger, faster and more powerful than women born to female biological bodies.

Again, this is not me being 'transphobic', it's me stating an obvious fact.

That's why we have gender-specific competition in almost every sport and events like the Olympics.

President Biden made an executive order in January supporting transgender “women” competing against real women in sports.  Now President Biden’s “Equality Act,” which if enacted would write transgenderism into federal civil rights law, has passed the lower house of the US congress. Should the law pass the senate, transgender ideology will be protected with the force of the law.

Morgan says that if President Biden’s endorsement of the right of trans “women” to compete in women's sport becomes the accepted norm, then women's sport will be destroyed.

Morgan goes on to say that:

What can possibly be 'equal' about a system that allows mediocre athletes in men's sport to switch genders, without any requirement for surgery to change sex, and instantly become world-beating athletes in women's sport - as we've been seeing more and more in things like sprinting, weight-lifting and cycling?

How does that do anything but create a new inequality and discrimination against women born to female biological bodies?

How does it not damage women's rights as it seeks to promote trans women's rights?

Yet that is what Joe Biden wants to let happen.

Yesterday, his administration announced it was rescinding support given under the Trump administration for a lawsuit aimed at preventing transgender athletes from competing in girls' high school sports.

It was filed by three young female athletes who believe their ability to compete has been unfairly damaged by trans women competing against them.

One of them, Alanna Smith, said: 'People should realize that a lot of biological females have missed out on making it to meets that really matter like states and regionals and the transgender athletes have taken spots on the podium that belong to biological females. We train for so many days a week, so many hours to be the best in our state and the best in our region and these biological males are just taking it away from us and we really deserve it.'

Morgan states that very few people in authority seem prepared to speak out against trans “women” competing against real women for fear they will be the next target for the trans lobby cancel culture chopping block.

FamilyVoice has a long history of speaking out against transgender ideology.

Christensen

The alarming rate of ‘born alive’ babies under abortion is a concern for all future Mums and Dads and Grandparents,” said Greg Bondar, national spokesman for FamilyVoice Australia.

Data shows that as many as 12 per cent of babies are born alive during late-term abortions in Victoria.

“These babies are left to die, rather than being provided with any life-saving medical care,” said Greg Bondar.

Mr George Christensen MP is seeking to introduce The Human Rights (Children Born Alive Protection) Act 2021 to Parliament which would require medical practitioners to offer these children the same care that would be afforded any other baby.

“Mr Christensen’s research highlights the reality of ‘live deaths under abortion’ which must be addressed in the name of human rights and protection of the child. There is always societal outcry over child abuse, paedophilia, psychological or emotional abuse of children, yet the deaths of those ‘born alive’ goes unaddressed.

Factually, the publication Victoria’s Mothers, Babies and Children Report, highlights a total of 1626 late term (20 weeks or later) abortions in Victoria, resulted in 198 live births, between 2012 and 2016. (Approximately 12%) and in Queensland, an ABC report stated there were 204 terminations with live birth outcomes between 2005 and 2015.

“The reality is that Tasmania, Northern Territory, NSW and the ACT do not publish abortion statistics which would further highlight the tragedy of “born alive” deaths. We as Australians are in breach of our international obligations such as The Convention on the Rights of The Child and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,” added Mr Bondar.

Mr Bondar is asking all Mums and Dads and Grandparents ‘to be’ to consider the painful question: ‘what happens to a child born alive during a late term abortion?’ The uncomfortable and soul-destroying truth is that the child is ‘left to die’.

Is this the society we Australians want to live in? MP George Christensen will be the FamilyVoice guest webinar speaker on Monday, 8 March.
