#ideological corruption

I am Sage's mother, better known as Nana. I adopted Sage after my son died when she was still a baby. She's been through six foster homes by then, but we loved her and she blossomed into a joyful, lively girl who made music and art.
Puberty began and COVID hit, and she was treated for depression and anxiety, at times very severe. Her teachers shared any concerns with me so her treatment could be adapted.
The transparency ended in August of 2021 when Sage started high school. She started a public high school and she told me that all the girls there were bi, trans, lesbian, emo and she wanted to wear boy's clothes and be emo. Because I saw it as just a phase, it was fine with me.
But at school, she told them something different: she was now a boy named Draco with male pronouns. Sage asked the school not to tell me, and they did not tell me even though I informed them of her mental health history and medication. If I had known, this would be a much different story.
She was terribly bullied. No one told me. But boys followed her, touched her, threatened violence and rape. Something happened in the boy's bathroom but for two days, the school told me nothing. They kept meeting with Sage alone and she became so distraught they called me to pick her up.
That evening, I found a hallpass labeled 'Draco' and Sage told me she was identifying as a boy, and that her counselor said she could use the boy's bathroom. She'd been jacked up against the wall by a group of boys. She was crying, terrified. I said just stay home, we'll figure it out. That was my last conversation with Sage for five months.
The night she ran, she thought, to a young friend she'd met online, she left a note saying she was scared of what would happen if she stayed. The sheriff, FBI, search dogs were called in. I dropped to my knees in prayer. Nine days later the FBI found her in Baltimore. My baby had been lured online, sex trafficked by DC then Maryland. She was locked in a room, drugged, gang raped and brutalized by countless men. It was night. The FBI told us to pick her up in Maryland the next morning.
We packed our cars with blankets and stuffed animals and arrived by 8 am, but we were told we couldn't see her, and were summoned before Judge Robert Kershaw late that afternoon. They didn't even tell Sage that we came for her. We finally entered the courtroom and Sage appears on a huge Zoom screen from a prison cell. She looks tiny and broken, and I cry out 'I love you Sage.' Sage responds 'I love you too, Nana.' But attorney Anisa Khan rebukes us. She is a 'he' and his name is 'Draco' not Sage. We were floored.
Khan accuses us of emotional and physical abuse, that we are misgendering her, even though we just learned she claims to be trans and we're willing to use any name and pronouns to bring her home. My husband was so tearful he kept forgetting the new pronouns, so the judge had the bailiff remove him from the courtroom. I was pleading for my child to be returned and treated for her unspeakable trauma. Judge Kershaw told me, if I use the word 'trauma' again, he would throw me out too.
For over two months, he withheld custody. He housed Sage in the male quarters of a children's home. Sage told me she was the only girl and repeatedly assaulted. She was given street drugs by the other kids and Khan told her she didn't care. She just wanted to win the case and all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. Khan tried to prove abuse, but we were eventually cleared by both states of all charges.
Sage later told me Khan had told her to lie that we hit her. Khan even had Sage's school counselors testify against us, though they barely knew Sage and they didn't know us at all. Khan told my precious child I didn't want her anymore. I found out Sage never received any of the letters I sent her.
Sage ran from the Children's Home and disappeared for months. They told me she might already be gone forever, but I couldn't give up and I finally found a tip on her social media that led the marshals to her in Texas. She had been drugged, raped, beaten and exploited. This time I was able to be with her for the traumatic rape exam, and to bring her home.
Back in Virginia, she entered the mental health facility that Judge Kershaw had ordered, as it would affirm her as a male. The therapist began pressuring her to have her healthy breasts removed. Sage was too scared to protest, but she asked me to secretly buy her girl's clothes because she wanted to be a girl, but keep them in the car. It took a kind lawyer, Josh Hetzler to secure her discharge.
After almost a year. Sage was finally home. Safe. Alive. Sage is receiving professional trauma care. The first trafficker has already been convicted. Sage has nightmares, panic attacks, rape-related medical issues, but there's hope. I tell her she's not broken she's just scarred. And part of that hope is that in courageously sharing her story, others will be saved.
Sage said she doesn't know who she was back then. She wasn't a boy, she just wanted to have friends. But her school, the judge, the attorney and the doctor were all blinded by their ideology. The consequences for Sage were unspeakable.
Please don't let ideology harm another child. Let parents do our jobs. We know our children best and we love them a million times more.
Thank you.
==
Jesus Christ. This girl was exploited by everybody, except for her parents, who were villainized for literally nothing. It's opposite world.
And the fact that everybody with authority prioritized stupid shit like pronouns and trying to coax her further down into a fake identity, even against her will, and other ideological bullshit over her actual wellbeing is disgraceful.
The judge and attorney need to be disbarred, the therapist stripped of their license, and everyone who conspired to separate Sage from her parents fired.

"ACAB except kim kitsuragi"
no hope for you even at all.
#i love kim but he is literally a centrist corrupt cop that abuses his power#please i'm begging you play disco elysium again and actually engage with the political themes#your takeaway should not be ''cops are good''#it should be ''cops and politicians are corrupt and no one is immune from flaw''#this why some ppl think the video game is copaganda... it's literally teaching you to be literate of propaganda and to use critical thought#the fact that kim is a likeable person is important. the fact that you want to impress him is important#you will sometimes eskew your own moral values to make him happy#if i knew kim in real life i'd be deeply ideologically conflicted#which is! the point!#sigh.#you can have little an old man yaoi as a treat but you should engage with the text first

Between "media consumption" discourse, "social media (but especially TikTok is literal brain poison" discourse, "porn addiction" discourse, any discourse about "media literacy" or "attention spans" or etc. in general, artists with like 1k followers on Tumblr worrying about being important enough to Literally Steal From saying AI art "pollutes and devalues real art", and the overall fixation not just on nostalgia but on how your childhood was the Correct Childhood, and how children growing up in Modern Society In The Now Time are having an Incorrect Childhood, won't someone please think of the children, it's kinda no surprise how many of u with some variation "communist" on your carrds end up reposting Greek statue pfp Twitter threads about how cars not being colorful represents the degeneration of the West and reblogging posts by fash about the not only aesthetic but ideological offensiveness of plain white modern houses. Just like the terf thing I think this goes a lot deeper than "accidentally reblogging from cryptos, how was I supposed to tell!"
#open mick night#this is what i meant when i said i ideologically disagree with videodrome on every level. bc i don't think violent tv Corrupts You#'corruption' or 'degeneration' theory really goes all the way down around here lmao

"Thus, the declared purpose of modern prison reform, one gathers, is: To make the prison an institution which will reform the criminal.
As I sat in my cell, year after year, reading the articles, books and speeches in which the penologists were enunciating this doctrine, I waited eagerly for some sign of change in the actual administration of the prison. But nothing happened. I waited in vain.
For I am obliged to record the fact that, during the years I spent in the state prisons of New York and Massachusetts, not a single attempt was ever made to reform me, and that I did not see a single attempt officially to reform criminals as an aim of prison administrative policy.
I remember, in this connection, talking one day with the late Thomas Mott Osborne about the prison-reform movement. He said, among other things: "It is so discouraging. People flock to the meetings; they are remarkably sound in their responses; the shocked, moved, indignant at the right moments; they applaud vigorously; they come up to the rostrum after the meeting and offer their money and services; and then they go to their homes and forget all about it. They simply will not do anything."
For a time I was inclined to accept this explanation; that people in the outside world are simply indifferent about prison conditions. But lately I have been persuaded that it is not mere indifference, but actual satisfaction with existing conditions, which is responsible for society's delay in changing the prison "from a human scrap-heap into a human repair-shop." It must be, I have decided, that the majority of people still believe in the ancient doctrine of "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," and regard the prison as the place where the criminal shall expiate his sins.
If, therefore, the real (as it is the declared) object of imprisonment is the reformation of the convict, then, as matters stand at present, the American prison is a most abject failure as a social institution.
It is banal to state that in order to fulfill the reformation purpose the prison environment must be greatly altered. Yet, whenever any attempt is made to do so, there instantly arises a loud and persistent chorus of criticism, mainly from the daily press. The cry of pampered criminals, "men's clubs" arises and feeds the average law-abiding citizen's hatred of the criminal.
This is not to say that the criminal should be pampered and petted, or that the prison should be made a cross between a night club and a health resort. Neither is it to say that the prison should remain a steel-barred stone coffin, as it continues to be in most states. It is simply to say that before the prison can achieve its object many substantial changes must be made; and that it will be well for the arm-chair critics, who create such a disturbance at each attempt to make such changes, to realize that their prejudiced criticisms are of great harm, in the end, to that society of which they themselves are a part. For not until these changes are made will the prison be able to transform the criminal into the citizen."
- Victor F. Nelson, Prison Days and Nights. Second edition. With an introduction by Abraham Myerson, M.D. Garden City: Garden City Publishing Co., 1936. p. 42-45

cis is not a slur and it's not offensive and honestly to me it's kinda sad that I'm seeing so many trans women on tiktok agreeing that cis women are justified in being offended by that and calling out trans women that want to say they are women like... I don't get where this trend is coming from? I thought we had established years ago that you are a woman if you feel you are a woman regardless of biological sex, ability to get pregnant, feminine traits etc... I don't get what's happening why are we going back??? terf ideology is not valid and never will be
#I don't get why I'm getting videos of trans women kinda justifying cis women's insecurities???#the oppressors of cis women are not trans women but cis men!#I say this as a cis woman#terf ideology does not make sense#I'm just????#what is happening#don't fall for their corrupted thinking

Wanted to tell you that YES while all that happened bakugo is (even tho being held by multiple people) just laying on the ground for multiple chapters
it's incredibly funny to me bc like irl it's been. almost a year since that chapter came out. and he's been lying there the whole time. he's one of my favorite characters but tbh i really want the story to finally cut back to him and have edgeshot pop back out and go "yeah no there's nothing i can do he fuckin dead" bc it would be so freaking funny.
ofc it'd also be pretty bad writing but that's neither here nor there
#bnha#bnha spoilers#i stopped reading the manga back in like 2018 or something#i think it was a bit before the ''joint training arc'' or w/e#anyway since i stopped reading all i know is bits of what people mention that i bother to read#so basically: bakugou died (two whole time) kurogiri was always dead (zombie nanny) and the villains are still more likeable than most pros#also dabi is todoroki's older brother but literally everyone knew that since the dawn of time so that doesn't really count#also apparently genderbent captain america showed up but then died#and overhaul made a friend#also togachako might become canon which is the most important thing#having said that: i keep seeing ''toga redemption'' getting tossed around#fuck that! uraraka corruption!#go girl tear the society that trapped your family in poverty and forbid you from using your quirk to help to the ground!#rip maim kill etc#also aoyama is the traitor which is stupid#i still say it should've been hagakure. and that she shouldn't have felt bad about it#let 1-a deal with a friend with a fundamentally incompatible ideology you cowards#oh and also apparently horikoshi is just snipping bits of aizawa off whenever he gets bored or something idk

We have a serious problem
Michael Laidlaw, MD: I'm a board-certified endocrinologist, practicing in private practice for the last 16 years. I've been studying and publishing in this area for the last 5 years, including peer reviewed journals such as Journal of of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, and others. I also have a patient who is a detransitioner.
I think it's important to note that studies are shown that desistance, or growing out of this condition, of children by adulthood is very high. It's some 50-98%.
I want to be sure before I give someone a very powerful hormone like Insulin that they in fact have diabetes.
What about cancer? Before we give any powerful agents such as chemotherapeutics or surgeries, we certainly want to have physical evidence of this problem, such as biopsies or imaging.
Now, the gender affirmative therapy treatment proposed by WPATH gives very powerful hormones and surgeries on what basis? Where can we find the gender identity to be certain that these children will not desist by adulthood? Can we use imaging of the brain or blood tests, genetic testing, are there other biomarkers to ensure that we are correct? There is no such thing.
Julia Mason, MD: The Endocrine Society put out guidelines in 2017, and they were very careful in the guidelines. One, to point out that the evidence was of low and very low quality. And they also said in the guidelines that they have no idea how you identify which kids are trans and require this treatment.
And then the American Academy of Pediatrics the next year just leapt into that void and said, oh, oh, we'll tell you how you know which kids. You ask them.
Prior to 2018 I had maybe one trans patient. But then there was another one. And another one. And another one.
It wasn't until later that I started asking questions like, wait, every single kid I send to the gender clinic gets put on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones. Just, it was happening immediately.
Patrick Hunter, MD: This affirmative model of care has spread wildly in the last 8 years. Now we have objective, unbiased systematic reviews. These systematic reviews tell us the evidence for youth transition is poor quality, and with very low certainty for benefit.
In JAMA Pediatrics, there was a study reported from Northwestern University in Chicago. Patients ranged in age from 13 to 24 years. The authors concluded that mastectomy was beneficial and should not be delayed in youth. What lead them to that conclusion? The finding that 3 months after surgery, the 36 patients were happy with their flat chests. They lost 9% of their surgical cases to follow-up. Nine percent. In 3 months.
It is absurd, meaningless to draw any conclusions after 3 months.
This paper is indicative of the quality of research we have in this field, published in our most prestigious journals.
We have a serious problem.

i miss worldbuilding sm. its nice to be able to retcon part of it and just make shit up + like. go into the implications of things you set up before idk :] it’s fun to see the causes and effects like problems theyd cause that different factions would have to deal with
#relesian nationalists waiting too long to assassinate king alvaro even though they would 1000% have gotten away with it#actually though. I think I haven’t done enough with the fact that wizards are sworn slash cursed to be loyal to the zeolish monarchy#so if that monarchy is completely dismantled there’s nothing tk keep them in check#and makes it so any plot against the monarchy basically has to rely on slow elaborate corruption rather than an outright takeover#whatever. theres a lot to talk abt lol#my ocs#also. del maian capitalists trying to get along with straesians bruh 😭 good fucking luck#it would be funny if their alliance just fell apart immediately because their two nations have absolutely nothing in common ideologically#well. except for needing continuously more territory#but you can see how that would also put them into conflict lol#that and there is no way theyd ever agree to join straesia since everyone at the top is out for exclusively themselves#+ doesn’t want to sacrifice their good relationships with other countries ig#straesia is def not especially popular#collab ocs

Just wanted to give a friendly heads up that it looks like the wawaenjoyer tumblr user who made that pregnancy post is a terf
Thank you for letting me know! I reblogged that post because I agree that what a pregnancy is depends exclusively on how the pregnant person sees it. Much like broken clocks, even terfs can occasionally be correct about something.
However, OP's pinned post is about doing "psychological warfare" on people by "making them agree with terfs". She seems to think that terf ideology is some kind of infectious disease transmitted by digital contact, which is a very weird but very telling way to think about your own belief system.
#the idea that agreeing once in a single point somehow compromises your ideological purity#to the point that your corrupted soul is now susceptible to being fully converted by the other camp#is the weirdest most protestant bullshit on this website

spiderman 2 really is the peak of what a superhero movie can achieve imo
#young adult trying to balance academics with personal relationships with work with aging parental figures with visible injustices happening#every day in your community and knowing youre in theory capable of helping but at what personal cost? and what is the best way to help in#the long run? also the thing regarding your idols becoming corrupted by power too#the ideology in superhero movies today is soooo bad
