W.H.E.N the 'Handmaid’s Tale' becomes reality in Tasmania - a discussion about Tasmania's new 'Women's Health Education Network' charity
Tasmania's Women's Health Education Network -‘A White Woman's Instagram' charity
Elite, middle class women and men from the medical and academic fraternity in Tasmania, have created a new charity, WHEN (Women's Health Education Network) which would appear to be carving out and consolidating the future earnings and career trajectories of its creators, at the expense of Tasmanian women and girls’ bodies and their mental health.
The Banality of Evil: Patient Harm Normalised
Slick and cosmopolitan in design, WHEN’s website is reminiscent of Bo Burnham's 'a white woman's instagram' song and video. WHEN’s website is truly an advertisement for 21st century, consumer driven middle class, elitist medicine in the guise of ‘healthcare’ and ‘choice’. Yet this ‘healthcare’ is iatrogenic.
The Hippocratic Oath is beautifully airbrushed over by W.H.E.N and its doctors as it promotes the prescribing of drugs for healthy bodies and conditions they were not meant for, or cultivating and accommodating women and girls wanting unnecessary and iatrogenic surgeries like double mastectomies to create masculine illusions or to help men with their female body ideation and fetishes.
Fraud: Women’s Health Funding for Men
As WHEN lobbies and receives charitable funding from the private sector and the Tasmanian government, it’s notable WHEN plans to use this funding in the future to support biological men who want to present as female. One wonders how doctors will justify prescriptions through Australia’s pharmaceuticals benefit scheme.
A W.H.E.N Podcast about simulacrum: normalising drug use, binders, 'packing' and bilateral mastectomies
A Podcast paid for using taxpayer and charitable funds meant for women’s health, is actually made by W.H.E.N to normalise the harms of ‘gender affirming care’ on women's bodies, (READ: health guidelines corrupted by ideology and fraud ) thus making lifelong medical patients for its creators. The podcast discusses women and girls using testosterone, breast binding and undertaking surgeries to have breasts removed,
or to create a fake penis (phalloplasty) all with the aim of having women present as male. This is not medicine but consumer driven fetishes being legitimised and normalised.
or to create a fake penis (phalloplasty) all with the aim of having women present as male. This is not medicine but consumer driven fetishes being legitimised and normalised.
WHEN, made up of women from the Tasmanian medical fraternity, continues to ignore world’s best practice for its own financial benefit, and instead pathologizes gender non-conformity and as we see in their website and podcast, seeks to treat ‘gender dysphoria’ with surgeries and pharmaceuticals despite the
The Australian Gender Affirming Guidelines being discredited , the U.K’s Cass Review and now a 2025 U.S Review also condemning such practices and detransitioners beginning to speak out.
WHEN's podcast Transgender Pelvic Healthcare - is presented by two women, Alex and Oliver, giving ‘laissez-fair’ health-advice to women who want to present as male. This advice includes suggestions about using and applying oestrogen cream to the pelvic floor to alleviate the menopausal symptoms of vaginal atrophy and drying in the bodies of teenage and young women, brought about by taking the male hormone testosterone, when women strive to appear more masculine.
As Alex and Oliver talk casually about the risk of prolapse due to the downward pressure of wearing a breast binder from sneezing or coughing, this is never a real cause for concern for the presenters, because WHEN supports women who want to pretend to be men, and WHEN legitimises such advocacy because it’s pro-choice when it comes to what women do with their bodies and minds - even when that choice is self-mutilation and delusion.
Tasmanian debate is silenced on the ethics of such gaslighting and undermining of women’s health.
Despite the fact taking testosterone increases the risk of women getting cancer, Alex and Oliver never mention this risk as a side affect of this type of 'health-care' which they advocate for, nor do they encourage women to be more vigilant of this increased cancer risk. A brief lapse of sanity appears in the podcast only when they remind their listeners of the dangers testosterone can have on a growing baby in a woman’s womb, if their female listeners happen to be pregnant.
Without any political or journalistic questioning ,WHEN’s website is unfettered in publicising and normalising such risk exposure and is brazen in its advertisement of self harm advice to girls and women.
WHEN even strategically places the Tasmanian Government's logo at the bottom of this particular page to create a camouflage of credibility, disguising the harm it is actually promoting.
Many would ask, how is this healthcare and why should tax payers be funding this?
The lack of reporting on WHEN's ethics and logic means WHEN is freely promoting a medical scandal at taxpayer expense: it is in fact a platform pushing harmful experimental treatments on girls and women.
Glammed Up and Legitimised - the podcast is a denial of reality and the harms of surgery, drugs and binding
The podcast is proliferated with coffee table like chit-chat from two middle-class women presenters, Alex and Oliver (who state they have private health insurance) giving absurd advice about how women can bind their breasts 'safely' and reminding listeners not to wear their binder for too long, particularly if ‘they’re under 18’ because of its affect on breast tissue health and development.
Whilst admitting breast binding harms breast tissue ("until you have top surgery") and that it manifestly increases the risk of damage (prolapse) to a woman's pelvic floor, because of the extra downward pressure it creates not only upon the vaginal area but also from the anus when women cough, vomit, lift or sneeze - both Alex and Oliver sweep this aside as an unfortunate side affect their listeners should just be mindful of when undertaking their 'health choice' to bind.
WHEN Promotes Prosthetic Penis Aids, Supporting Psychosis and Fetishes
Though the podcast is titled ‘Pelvic Floor Health’ half the podcast is about breast binding and bizarrely about ‘packing’ (00:30) - that is, women/girls buying a prosthetic penis, or stuffing something like a sock into their pants - to create the bulge of a penis. This they admit, can add to the risk of urinary tract infections, further complicating pelvic floor health.
Alex and Oliver's mixed up, confused discussion on the effects of packing and binding, the damage they admit doing to their own bodies, and their clandestine access to binders through family health workers who have aided their mission to look male, is dystopian and amounts to the promotion of self-harm. They seem completely unaware what they are in actual fact describing is malfeasance and iatrogenic outcomes.
These diagrams show how fetishes, delusions, self-harm and disassociation with one’s body, is accommodated and normalised as ‘choice’ by WHEN.
In cowboy arrogance, the presenters of the podcast state WHEN is a medical and ‘research team’ who themselves set the guidelines and recommendations for binding.

The life long negative effects of all these ‘gender affirming’ treatments on women’s bodies: on sexual function, fertility and general well being for young adolescent girls and women, should warrant investigation especially as WHEN use government funding.
There is no discussion in this podcast about how de-transitioning might affect a woman’s pelvic floor amongst other things. Nor is there discussion about the dissent within the medical fraternity about such unethical practices Open Letter to Health Professionals and VIDEO:Dr Miriam Grossman Speaks Out
A Facade of Integrity
Evidence based medicine is secondary, when people like discredited Melbourne Dr Telfer, ACON , the Rainbow Project and miscellaneous hospitals are cited by WHEN as a basis for substantiating mutilations like binding girls and women's breasts and bilateral mastectomies.
Dr Michelle Telfer's Frankenstein approach to medicine is now under scrutiny with it recently being revealed her self authored ‘Australian Guidelines for gender affirming treatments' for children have not been approved by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), nor by the Royal Melbourne's Children's Hospital's own governance/ethical standards board -
“ASOCTG was not endorsed by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), which has been asked by the federal government to develop new national guidelines for the care of trans and gender diverse people under 18 with gender dysphoria”. Dr Catherine Llewellyn
Article: Doctor Michelle Telfer’s ‘Australian Gender Affirming Guidelines’ Discredited
Yet it is Telfer’s treatment regimes sited by WHEN as giving credibility and efficacy to what WHEN seeks to inflict on Tasmanian women and girls.
Why would WHEN not raise alarms about any of this? Because life-long medical patients/ customers are guaranteed when faux community medical charities like WHEN are willing to misconstrue medical facts and use obfuscation to create a facade of support and integrity around fashion 'health' treatments for women and girls.
Oversight/Blindsight
WHEN appoints individuals and organisations with invested interests as its ‘clinic governance'. Those who monetarily benefit from WHEN’s services are those which regulate it: individuals who are listed as working on projects within the organisation, like Dr Rhea Pserackis are also on its clinical governance committee.
WHEN’s clinical governance is itself.
Public trust in medicine is already undermined after Covid, and organisations like this are adding to that problem.
Like Working It Out who use tax payers money to provide financial support to youth and adults to access ‘gender affirming care’
such as buying binders, hormones and paying for documentation, WHEN is facilitating access and providing a portal to medical professionals who are willing to do the handmaid bidding of ‘gender affirming care’.

What we see in WHEN, is corporate activism marketing medical transition to young adults.

“There’s no point in asking, you’ll get no reply…” Johnny Rotten -Sex Pistols
It’s no use asking Tasmanian politicians or journalists to investigate this issue. Politicians on all sides refuse to ask constituents questions in parliament about WHEN and other organisations pushing the normalisation of ‘gender affirming care’ at taxpayer expense. Like the silence around Jimmy Savile for years, the people in power protect the abusers and are the gatekeepers of abuse. As long as ‘gender affirming care’ is a vote winner, the morality of it is not open for debate.
Euphemistic language and pursuing their own interests in the guise of 'women's health' and giving 'choice', WHEN's website lists an array of well-to-do Tasmanian elites (both women and men) ready to shut-up and deliver customised medical mutilations, prosthetics, binders and drugs to patients, which are experimental, fetishist, designer and consumer driven rather than evidence based or health driven.

"Back Passage Erogenous or Erectile Tissue
Front Passage Internal Genitalia..." Terms listed in WHEN's glossary
Seeking to commandeer language to neutralise opposition, WHEN's medical and academic creators have made up their own medical glossary which encompasses new anatomical terms for male and female body parts, as well euphemisms for invasive medical procedures.In reality, WHEN is about fracturing women and girls: our language, bodies and experiences. WHEN presents a surgical theatre of the absurd, with surrealist discussions and narratives, removed from the realities of everyday women’s lives.

What happens to migrant women or the vulnerable girls and women in Tasmania who are shown in stats to have some of the lowest literacy and numeracy rates nationally and get 'sucked in' and harmed by a charity constructed by WHEN's elite handmaidens, misconstruing language and pursuing their own medical careers and designer health goals?
In this charity for women which is misogynist, why doesn't WHEN discuss the wait-lists for women in the public health system for procedures like joint replacements, and the lack of research into postpartum psychosis or stillbirth and the shortfall in midwifery care and how inevitably WHEN's demand for funding takes away from the state government's health budget, for the legitimate needs of ordinary Tasmanian women who use the public health system?
When mainstream media (and politicians) refuse to do their job, we are seeing a betrayal of journalism in Tasmania, a refusal to ask these questions and to uphold their role in a free democracy. Journalists and politicians have become the tool of the wealthy and powerful, compromising critical thinking and democracy. They are failing to give a voice to protect the marginalised in Tasmania.
Opposing voices have become banned and canceled.
Editors refuse to publish the stories of those few journalists who try to do their job.
