#olliehassett — Public Fediverse posts

16. "Out of more than 100 patients [Hespe] has seen in 22 years, she said only one person, who wanted to transition as an adult female to a male, regretted the effects of being on testosterone and surgery. They know identify as gender neutral.

"'She had three lots of surgery,' Dr Hespe said. 'Had breasts off, had breasts put back on, had breasts taken off again.'"

In the first place: Are this person's pronouns they, or she, or both?

In the second place: I'm wondering whether this is a permissible disclosure by Dr Hespe. This seems like it would make it exceptionally easy to identify the individual described, which seems — note that I am not a lawyer — as if it might be questionable under the medical privacy provisions of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) [1].

In the third place, I think it's significant that News Corp has chosen to report this part. Previously they've largely focused on the suggestion that trans kids are too young to decide to transition, or to stop puberty, and that they'll regret it later. This, on the other hand, seems to mark a further advancement along the narrative line established by, e.g., Natasha Robinson's interview with #OllieHassett né Davies in #TheAustralian in August — beginning to suggest that "they'll regret it later, so they have to be stopped" is true not only of kids, but of adults, too.

This is a logical advancement to push for. After all, if you can bring yourself to levy immense suffering, permanent damage and possible death on *kids* simply because they were unlucky enough to exist around you while being trans, doing it to adults should be a piece of cake.

An intermediary who I trust has just directed me to https://terfsupper.com/

The website consists of a single article describing an unpublicised 4 October 2022 gathering at the Naughtons Parkville Hotel in inner Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its central allegation, which appears to be substantiated by images provided by the authors, is that attendees at the gathering consisted of influential Australian anti-trans activists including:

— Oliver "Ollie" Hassett né Davies, radicalised detrans activist affiliated (formerly?) with anti-trans hate group #Genspect;

— Genevieve Hassett, opponent of the "woke trans ideology," and Ollie's partner;

— Angie Jones, conspiracy theorist focused on Big Pharma and "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" (ROGD), host of TERF TALK DOWN UNDER;

— Jasmine Sussex, anti-trans microcelebrity, guest on TERF TALK DOWN UNDER;

— Jessica Williams, anti-trans writer affiliated with Single Sex Prisons WA;

— Rachael Wong, chief executive officer of Women's Forum Australia, an anti-abortion, anti-trans lobby group most of whose publicly named executives are closely linked to the Catholic Church;

and, perhaps more importantly, two senior officers of the Australian Greens Victoria (AGV):

— Linda Gale, a member of the AGV State Executive, who was previously Convenor de facto until her removal for having been illegitimately elected;

— Rohan Leppert, an AGV-endorsed member of the Melbourne City Council.

While Gale and Leppert have previously expressed views which either unambiguously are or could be reasonably interpreted as anti-trans, this is to my knowledge the first published allegation of anything on their part that ventures beyond the realm of simply hanging out with transphobic people and saying transphobic things, and into the realm of organised anti-trans conspiracy and collusion.

Most of the claims in the article are independently verifiable using information in the public domain. To the best of my ability to determine, they are indeed true. The article contains significant further sourcing and proposed actions; I strongly encourage making the time to read it.
