Transvestite who wants puberty blockers as 'default option' for kids joins other radicals on WHO task force

The World Health Organization, a specialized agency of the U.N. still regarded by some to be an authority on health matters, has assembled a task force to develop "a guideline on the health of trans and gender diverse people."

Critics have blasted the WHO over this guideline development group, not only because it presumes at the outset that gender dysphoria must be entertained and that genital mutilation qualifies as "care," but because of the radical activists it comprises.

One member in particular has prompted serious doubt over the value and seriousness of whatever recommendations the group might ultimately make: a French-Canadian man who calls himself Florence Ashley and describes himself as a "transfeminine activist, academic, and slut."

The WHO, which has gone back to receiving hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars a year under President Joe Biden, announced on Dec. 18 that Ashley would be among the 21 appointees, predominantly transvestites and LGBT activists, who will meet in February to work on a guideline.

The guideline they are to work on will supposedly tackle the "provision of gender-affirming care, including hormones; health workers education and training for the provision of gender-inclusive care; ... health policies that support gender-inclusive care, and legal recognition of self-determined gender identity."

Ashley, an assistant professor at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law in Canada, has already made clear where he stands on these issues.

The radical transvestite claimed in a 2019 paper published in Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry that "Unbounded social transition and ready access to puberty blockers ought to be treated as the default option, and support should be offered to parents who may have difficulty accepting their youth."

He claimed in an article for the leftist blog Truthout that efforts to protect children from irreversible puberty blockers, genital mutilations, and LGBT propaganda are "rooted in racism and white supremacy."

Reduxx reported that Ashley has also called for destructive puberty blocker drugs to be mandated as a go-to "gender creative youth."

"Although taking puberty blockers is a form of medical treatment, it certainly facilitates exploration significantly more than letting puberty run its course; whereas puberty strongly favours cis embodiment by raising the psychological and medical toll of transitioning, puberty blockers structurally place transgender and cisgender hormonal futures in approximate symmetry," Ashley wrote. "Youth who take puberty blockers have their options wide open, their bodies unaltered by either testosterone or oestrogen."

Extra to championing irreversible, sterilizing medications for confused children, Ashley has called for parents "who have difficulty accepting their child's gender identity and transition" to be subjected to re-education to resolve their "parental hostility and rejection of their trans child."

The WHO appointee also argued in the Dalhousie Law Journal for the decriminalization of rape by fraud, specifically in cases where a transvestite has sex with a victim without indicating he isn't actually a woman as advertised. "To turn f***ing into a crime because the person's gender challenges the sexual identity of their consenting partners is an attempt to further entrench a cisheteronormative social order," wrote Ashley.

Ashley himself has contemplated committing sexual assault by fraud, writing, "I can’t wait to have sex with a cishet guy and ask him: 'Oh babe, how does it feel f***ing a penis with your penis?'"

The Post Millennial's Libby Emmons further highlighted that Ashley has argued against requirements that prospective victims undergo mental health assessments before receiving sex-change surgeries or taking hormone therapies.

Leor Sapir, a political scientist and fellow at the Manhattan Institute, wrote, "I've been asked how it's possible that a reputable institution like @WHO can appoint as an expert to a clinical guideline panel an activist lawyer who demands that others use 'that b****' as a pronoun. And yet that's exactly what WHO has done."

Reem Alsalem, the U.N. special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, lashed out at WHO, claiming it was taking a "one-sided," pro-medicalization approach to so-called "trans healthcare," reported the Guardian.

Alsalem wrote to WHO's director general that the task force contained "significant unmanaged conflicts of interest."

"Stakeholders whose views differ from those held by transgender activist organisations do not appear to have been invited," wrote the feminist special rapporteur. "Such stakeholders include experts from European public health authorities who have taken the lead on developing an evidence-based and consequently cautious approach to youth gender transitions (eg England, Sweden and Finland)."

The WHO task force also includes former presidents of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, an American lobby group that Reduxx indicated has "multiple ties to academics involved in either pro-pedophilia activism or pedophilia apologism."

WPATH's latest "Standards of Care," reportedly developed in collaboration with the Eunuch Archive, a castration fetish forum that hosts erotica concerning the castration of children and other grotesque acts, calls for no age limits on sex changes for minors, reported the College Fix.

Most appointees, including Ashley, suffered "strong, one-sided views in favour of promoting hormonal gender transition and legal recognition of self-asserted gender," Alsalem continued in her letter to the head of the WHO. "Not one appears to represent a voice of caution for medicalising youth with gender dysphoria or the protection of female-only spaces."

The Clinical Advisory Network on Sex and Gender, a large group of clinicians in the U.K. and Ireland, recently raised the question of why the WHO task force figured mutilations and chemical treatments were necessarily the best way forward.

"There are no robust randomised-controlled trials supporting gender-affirming medical and surgical interventions, and therefore there are no studies which tell us about the efficacy of these interventions, in children or adults," the group said in a Jan. 4 statement.

The CANSG also noted that allowing transvestites to claim access to the rights of the opposite sex has "harmful public health consequences," including on "women in prisons, in hospitals, in care, in mental health settings, women accessing services following domestic or sexual violence, and those that are dependent on other people for intimate care."

"WHO is trusted the world over to produce reliable guidelines that take a human rights approach to promoting health equity. Given the rising controversy in this field, it would appear that WHO is out of touch with developments globally. We urge WHO to pause this guideline and rethink its approach," added CANSG.
