W.H.E.N the 'Handmaid’s Tale' becomes reality in Tasmania - a discussion about Tasmania's new 'Women's Health Education Network' charity

on




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 for conditions they were not meant for, cultivating and accommodating women and girls wanting unnecessary and iatrogenic surgeries such as double mastectomies all to create masculine illusions. WHEN believes part of its scope is to use its funding for biological males (men) who have 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. 

W.H.E.N has used its funding to produce a podcast about simulacrum, normalising drug use, binders, 'packing' and bilateral mastectomies - Listen to WHEN’s podcast here.


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 and minds,
(READ: health guidelines corrupted by ideology and fraud ) thus making lifelong medical patients for WHEN's creators. The institutional gaslighting of women and girls is profound. The podcast discusses women and girls using testosterone, breast binding and undertaking surgeries to have breasts removed.

Creating a fake penis (phalloplasty) is normalised even, all with the aim of having women present as male. This is not medicine but consumer driven fetishes, being legitimised and normalised by WHEN.

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 seeking 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 . The health concerns of women who have de-transitioned is absent. READ here about de -transitioners who speak out.

Welcome to WHEN’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party Podcast - Introducing your hosts, Alex and Oliver


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; exploiting patients who are mentally not well-


The podcast has a background of upbeat relaxation music, 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 incurring pelvic floor issues as a result of breast binding isn’t so bad, and how women can bind their breasts 'safely' (time marker 00:15:48) 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.

Such harmful statements, platformed by an Australian charity such as WHEN, touting women's health promotion, should warrant investigation by raising a concern with - 

Whilst admitting during the podcast 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 on the vaginal area and anus when women cough, vomit, lift or sneeze - both Alex and Oliver ignore this, and note it as an unfortunate side-affect their listeners should just be mindful of when undertaking their 'health choice' to bind.

WHEN Promotes Prosthetic Penis Aids for Paraphilias, 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 (taken from TransHub, a website WHEN acknowledges as a resource on its own website) and show how fetishes, delusions, self-harm and disassociation with one’s body, is accommodated and normalised as ‘choice’ by WHEN.

The Lunatics in Charge of the Asylum

In cowboy style 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 these ‘gender affirming’ treatments mentioned in the podcast, (impact on sexual function, fertility and general well being for young adolescent girls and women) should warrant investigation especially as WHEN use government funding to promote them.

There is no discussion in this podcast about how de-transitioning might affect a woman’s pelvic floor amongst other things. Nor is there a discussion about the dissent within the medical fraternity about such unethical practices. Open Letter to Health Professionals and VIDEO:Dr Miriam Grossman Speaks Out

W.H.E.N’s Facade of Integrity 

Evidence based medicine is secondary to WHEN, 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 (binding, mastectomies and drugs) taken up and promoted by WHEN as if Telfer gives credibility and efficacy to what WHEN seeks to inflict on Tasmanian women and girls. 

Strangely, WHEN as a health charity set up to support women’s health, avoids discussing how breast binding destroys breasts by restricting blood flow to breast tissue, as evidenced in this photograph above.

A Grift for the Elites

It's obvious why WHEN would not raise alarms about any of this and stand up for the women and girls it alleges it helps.
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. 

What WHEN actually is, is a vandal of women and girls' minds and bodies. 

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 and those listed on WHEN's websitelike Dr Miranda Hann and Dr Anna Bandford have practices specialising in 'gender medicine'. 

WHEN’s clinical governance is itself.

Public trust in medicine is already undermined after Covid, and organisations like this are adding to that problem. 

WHEN is a portal to iatrogenic medicine. This is similar to the Tasmanian charity Working It Out which uses tax payers money to provide a fund offering financial support to youth and adults to access its ‘gender affirming care’ products and pharmaceuticals, vetted by a board with an invested interest in these products as they employ themselves in the field of 'gender medicine'.

Like Working it Out which assists young people to buy binders, hormones and to pay for documentation, WHEN  facilitates access to medical professionals who are willing to do the handmaid bidding of  ‘gender affirming care’.

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.

Seeking to commandeer language to neutralise opposition, WHEN's medical and academic creators have made up their own medical terms -
as well euphemisms for invasive medical procedures like removing girls healthy breasts “top surgery”.

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.

What we know from history, is that as the public realises what is 

going on, organisations like WHEN cover up, hide and take down 

components of their websites. For the record, this blog seeks to
