"Girls cease to be human beings for these boys because girls are simply a collection of parts that can be purchased, put on, and owned."
Yes. No surprise that this is all happening in parallel with the reduction of Women to "vulva owners", "people with uteruses" and so on, not to mention the depersonalization of surrogate Mothers.

Amy, this is fabulous much-needed article! Thank you! Everyone, watch my substack caroldansereau.substack.com for my imminent postings about what we presented to the Seattle School Board last night. And about their outrageous manipulative reactions before and after we spoke. Being compared by the School Board President to the racists who came to "hate on" Ruby Bridges is a new low. Also, check out my article The Anti-Science Disaster of Gender Ideology in Our Schools to see what's being taught in schools across the U.S., the emotional manipulation employed, and more.

This is how "The Oregonian," Oregon's major newspaper, covered the matter of the assailant's gender in its reporting of the assault at Hazelbrook Middle School:
The video of the assault exploded on social media this week after being picked up by right-wing commentators, who concluded based on clothing and appearance in the video – but without confirmation – that the perpetrator is transgender.
The video was shared on social media by former competitive swimmer Riley Gaines, who has campaigned against the participation of transgender women in women’s sports. The post on X, formerly known as Twitter, has been viewed more than 10 million times.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Thursday on the assault and viral video.
Is it true that critics of trans excesses "concluded based on clothing and appearance in the video – but without confirmation – that the perpetrator is transgender"? Are there reliable sources that establish the boy does in fact call himself a "trans girl"?
This is relevant, because "The Oregonian," reporting from the front line of the gender identity culture war, is presenting this incident as a baseless assault on a public school by violent transphobes. The newspaper slammed the door on the other possible narrative, which is that the Hazelbook Middle School was the site of a vicious assault by a trans girl - a repeat offender at that - on a fellow student.
There is considerable hypocrisy in The Oregonian's approach to the story. As long as "trans kids" are sympathetic figures or victims, activist journalists outdo themselves in presenting them and their stories in heartwarming (and sometimes heartbreaking) detail. However, the moment there's a suggestion that a trans youth has committed a serious offense, the paper summarily waves away the allegation without making any effort of its own to confirm it.

The reductionism to parts is exactly where the "sex spectrum" magic mumbo-jumbo pseudoscience happens. Do not enter the wizard circle, do not use the magic words.

A clear-sighted and thorough analysis throughout. Well done!
"Sex recognition is a primal animal instinct that is engrained in all animals ..." You rightly hammer home the centrality of embodied existence for humans, no less than other mammals. It's easy to see speciesism in gender ideology, a supreme and delusional arrogance that, in its concepts, the human brain -- as powerfully destructive as constructive -- should trump material reality. Yet, the further physically healthy humans get from embodied existence, the more mentally ill they are apt to become. We are not gods.
The violence of these boys is deeply upsetting. I hope they have been expelled, and given a stint in male juvie lock-up. Being the victim rather than the perpetrator of male violence may do more to curb future aggression toward females than anything else.

A brilliant summation of the modern cult preaching male entitlement to dominate women with violence if necessary. Humans have been preaching this message, via one or other religious cult, for thousands of years. The strongest women, and a few male allies, have been pushing back against the harms of this message for that long, but the weak, who find their strength in numbers, outnumber the strong by many thousands to one. Either the strong win or we all lose. Modern Afghanistan shows us what humanity losing looks like.

1. Boys aren’t girls and sane people have no reason to participate in or perpetuate the lie.
2. The thug attacking this girl from behind needs the shit beaten out of him by her dad
3. That other students didn’t wade-in and destroy the attacker then & there is shameful
4. This transidiocy only can continue as long as women continue being ridiculously empathetic to these losers; the trans-cult is born of the female vote and will continue as long as women bloc-vote D
5. At the end of the day, all these trannies & their parents are D voters removing themselves and their futures from the voting booth via self-sterilization. Their choice. Not my problem. Good riddance.

This is an excellent essay. One nitpick: you wrote that “we do know that schools in Oregon aggressively push gender identity ideology to their students” and then added that “at the Seattle Public School board meeting, for example…”
I know you know Seattle is in Washington State. I agree that Seattle’s policies are in line with Oregon’s (though I do wonder about schools outside the Seattle metro area). And since both states are designated the Pacific Northwest, they are often lumped together. However, using a Washington state school to exemplify Oregon’s policies is a loose end in an otherwise tightly constructed argument.
"boys are told that through their identity declarations and physical expressions they can (and should be able to) control other people’s perceptions of them. "
this is so brilliantly put. This power, if it existed, would be a form of magic. Who wouldn't like to control others' perceptions of them? My gosh. Telling anyone it's possible -- let alone CHILDREN -- is evil and insane.
"Girls cease to be human beings for these boys because girls are simply a collection of parts that can be purchased, put on, and owned."

Wow. Best analysis I've read on this to date.
This is how "The Oregonian," Oregon's major newspaper, covered the matter of the assailant's gender in its reporting of the assault at Hazelbrook Middle School:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The video of the assault exploded on social media this week after being picked up by right-wing commentators, who concluded based on clothing and appearance in the video – but without confirmation – that the perpetrator is transgender.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Thursday on the assault and viral video.
Under federal privacy laws, the school district cannot comment on a student’s gender identity, [Tigard-Tualatin School District spokeswoman Traci] Rose said. https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2023/09/portland-area-middle-school-evacuated-after-bomb-shooting-threats-sparked-by-hallway-assault-video.html

See this just-posted article by me, one of the people presenting the Demand to the Seattle School Board. Article includes links to our Demand and appendices which I believe will be of much use to people working on these issues: https://open.substack.com/pub/caroldansereau/p/seattle-activists-submit-formal-demand?r=7a0b8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
This an excellent read.
"Socially transitioning a child does not set them up for success as their natal self, but prepares them for failure as a sex they can never achieve." https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/follow-the-yellow-brick-road
Yeah, I wrote about this too. The school system is a breeding ground for abuse and is traumatizing children these days.
