Arianna Laureano And The 'Cluster B Clique' That Wants To Destroy Detransition Advocacy
A pack of dangerous dummies, identified and dismantled
Arianna Laureano is a Seattle area man who allegedly turns 35 next month. While he describes himself as a homosexual transsexual (HSTS) in some forums, on various platforms like GroobyGirls, Shemalez, and TrannyDemonTV, Mr. Laureano identifies as bisexual and transgender instead.
He says that he underwent vaginoplasty as a young man, but we assess that he was about 28 years old when he was first altered. Ari also claims that he was groomed into the procedure by an older man (his “pimp”), but we have reason to doubt the veracity of this origin-story. It sounds to us like a fetish fantasy talking.
As far as we can ascertain factually, the man who “trafficked” him was convicted of possessing pornographic images of minors in 2015, one year after Mr. Laureano says he “fled” his “pimp”. Furthermore, before he was convicted, Mr. Laureano signed paperwork to assist his former “trafficker” with the movement of his goods.
Our doubts about people have proven valid before. We doubt all of this man’s stories about himself. We assess that Mr. Laureano is an autogynephile, or AGP. An autogynephile is a man in love with his self-image as a woman. Mr. Laureano has claimed for the last two years that he was detransitioning, but he is still listed as female in official documents. He has also claimed to be married to a man, but he now admits this was also false. It is, again, his fetish fantasy.
The Distance has reviewed Ari Laureano’s career since 2021 after his violent communications regarding a Jewish ex-trans woman came to light. We have found abundant evidence that Mr. Laureano was never acting in good faith as he approached the detransition community. His story about himself has changed too many times to trust that any part of it is true.
We are not the first group to draw the same conclusion. In that light, we consider these messages to be revealing of the true, unstable character of Mr. Laureano.
Mr. Laureano has systematically attacked and undermined desistance and detransition organizing since 2024 using false accusations and smears. It is rich to watch someone who lies about his own detransition accuse anyone else of being a fake ex-trans person.
Mr. Laureano has leveraged the aid and assistance of at least one other prominent antagonist of detransitioners, as well as prominent detransitioners who had their own personal scores to settle. Everything is explained below. It is rich watching this clique of Cluster B chaos agents claim that anyone else is a “fake” when their friend and circus ringmaster Ari is a perfect fraud.
This campaign of defamation, which has tarnished the reputations of people and organizations for months, ends today.
Any cause which has Ari Laureano involved in any capacity should automatically be considered a cancel mob, and their cause unjust. Mr. Laureano is an inveterate liar with an agenda that makes no sense to anyone except himself: a chaos agent with bad intentions.
The people who helped him are named below. Shame on them.
We begin with the newly-minted ‘Miss’ Laureano learning to bake and campaigning against rent in the covid year of 2020. “If the state doesn’t find some way to relieve that burden from me, I’m going to be homeless when the eviction moratorium goes away.” Laureano already owed $5,000 in back rent when he spoke to a local TV station. “They’re going to destroy the working class”.
One year later, Ari was still fighting the rent as a representative of the working class in cooperation with the Washington Poor People's Campaign (this is real) and Seattle Democratic Socialists of America. Over the next four years, his politics were entirely scrambled, but delivered in the same superficial tone, with new, borrowed language. Mr. Laureano is a social chameleon, imitating his environment to fit in. We assess that he never actually became ‘based’.
Cancel culture castrati
Mr. Laureano appeared in a 2022 press event (see above) to launch the Seattle City Council campaign of Matthew Mitnick, who seemed like the dream candidate for the progressive youth wing, being in college as well as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Mr. Laureano was co-founder of the campaign committee.
It did not go well. Mitnick’s erstwhile campaign manager, Bailey Medilo, a high schooler and SDSA member, complained of malfeasance after he was set aside for someone with fewer complaints from his peers. Mr. Medilo complained that Mitnick was “abusive”. He whined that the political candidate had used an “incredibly callous and threatening tone” and cut him off when he started to cry.
Mr. Mitnick was exonerated of corruption, but his candidacy did not recover from the horrific revelation that he had refused to let a crybaby run his campaign. While we have no information about what role, if any, Mr. Laureano may have played in these scurrilous events, we decided to include the episode because it is uncanny how his own defamation campaigns resemble Mitnick’s.
Fake an accusation of wrongdoing by someone. Anyone
Enlist other people and platforms to cancel them (in this case, The Stranger)
Express indignity at the embarrassment when lies are inevitably exposed
Mr. Medilo felt totally justified in his false accusations because it hurt so badly to fail. This is not how an adult person thinks. It is how Ari thinks. Whereas Mr. Medilo was 17 at the time, Ari is in his thirties. He has no excuse.
For that matter, Mr. Laureano was already in his thirties when he stood next to Matthew Mitnick representing “the youth of Seattle”. What excuse was he using then? To the surprise of zero TERFs, his new identity as a woman was giving him the girlhood he had been so cruelly denied.
His “youth” was borrowed, just like his styles.
We will spare you the images and descriptions. Before Mr. Laureano had his sex organs removed, he displayed them prominently in pornographic photo shoots with men younger than himself as “Laurie James”. These images are available to anyone who wants to go find them. They are an offense to the universe. However, they also prove that he was not transitioned as a younger man.
We suggest that developmental delay and deviance explains Mr. Laureano completely. A passive-aggressive, impulsive streak has always been visible and it has always been linked to his transsexualism.
Mr. Laureano was embedded in sexology and transmedicalist activism and associated himself with figures like Brianna Wu until 2024, when he turned on his ‘community’. For a time, he claimed to be heavily influenced by Phil Illy. (Longtime readers will recall our editor’s dissection of Mr. Illy’s batshit book.) Laureano’s extensive online identity history includes accounts such as Honestly__Anna, TruthfulTS, and The Truthful Transsexual podcast.
In one X profile, Mr. Laureano also identifies as a National Socialist, that is, a Nazi, as well as a “Blanchardian”, referring to the so-called Blanchard typology of transsexualism named for Ray Blanchard, who first identified the HSTS and AGP types clinically in 1989. Dr. Blanchard is Jewish.
Mr. Laureano has claimed that he was transitioned by secret programs; that AGPs are taking over society; that Jews living in Germany are responsible for pediatric transition medicine; that gender critical organizations are tracking his every move and hiding the truth from him. He is especially obsessed with Ashkenazi Jews over the Sephardim, for some reason.
All criticism and boundaries are a conspiracy against Mr. Laureano. Ari is never accountable for anything he does. Caught fantasizing about brutalizing a Jewish woman, Ari blamed everyone but himself, indulging a fit of self-pity. He has since deleted almost all of his tweets on his main account, then resumed going after people.
We suggest that there is more than a little bit of self-loathing involved in all of Mr. Laureano’s actions.
On X, he regularly abuses gay men — he tells them to “die of AIDS” — as well as lesbian women. Despite being allegedly bisexual, and demanding recognition of his LGBTQI2S+ membership, Ari gets very upset whenever anyone calls him “gay”. He sometimes uses a goat emoji to tease the word ‘faggot’. He wants to be special without being simple.
Mr. Laureano does seem to have dropped his female persona for a time. However, he does not appear to have stopped taking estrogen at any point. Indeed, Mr. Laureano was purchasing estrogen powder in bulk and storing it at home in case HRT ever became illegal for adults.
He has said explicitly that detransition would be “destructive” for him. He has written that “detrans was a trap”. Still, he has been invited to speak and attend events including detransitioners because volunteer organizers did not know better.
In one early case we know about, the organizer was being strategically diverse with their speaking invitations in order to have the event held at all. We are not going to put the organizers on blast. On the contrary, we are giving them all fair warning for the future, here.
Too many good people have extended far too much courtesy and credulity to Mr. Laureano. Ari took this generosity and openness as his cue to become an expert on who the “real detransitioners” are, so that he can denounce anyone who does not fit his own definition of something he is not.
As we shall see, this made him useful to some very self-interested people in the world of detransition advocacy, as well as the enemies of detransition advocacy.
We suggest this behavior is simply typical of Mr. Laureano, though. He did not happen as part of someone’s conspiracy. He displays recurring instability online, cycling between harassment campaigns and emotional collapses, always reframing himself as a victim after blowing up every community he enters.
Mr. Laureano always announces that he is leaving the X app, attacks everyone who is ‘forcing’ him to leave, and then refuses to leave after all, redoubling his attacks.
Arianna Laureano is a functional, yet mentally disturbed man. This eventually becomes clear to anyone who interacts with him long enough. Everyone who has sought to advance their own agenda through his smear campaigns has earned your side-eye instead of your trust.
They knew what he is.
Defamation character
Mr. Laureano has established a pattern of fixating on organizations and individuals, turning angry when they reject him. At the time this is being published, he is attempting to draw Genevieve Gluck into his orbit by mentioning her favorably. She has already taken the bait and he is already rubbishing her. It is a matter of time before she rejects him, whereupon he will attack her.
Laureano’s first foray into disrupting GC communities took place in X spaces hosted by Gays Against Groomers. Mr. Laureano even attended GAG events in person until the X space hosts finally blocked him in September 2024, when his commentary towards the organization became hostile.
Most recently, Mr. Laureano has developed a vendetta against whistleblower Jamie Reed and her LGBCC co-founder Lauren Leggieri. One accusation he has amplified regards their fundraising. Reed and Leggieri did no significant fundraising until 2025, when they began to reimburse detransitioners for travel to testify in state capitols.
We understand that Mr. Laureano’s grudge began with a rejection for this program when he was deemed too unstable. His peeve has escalated into a cancel campaign against Reed and LGBCC built on top of a smear campaign against two detransitioners. It is lies all the way down.
Mr. Laureano had help in this endeavor. We shall now examine the clique of individuals behind Mr. Laureano.
Prisha Mosley
Ms. Mosley has socially and medically detransitioned, though she remains legally male. Her story is very compelling, and her case is very solid, if it can ever get to trial. However, Ms. Mosley has attracted an unhealthy set of friends characterized by Cluster B behavior, Mr. Laureano being just one.
It is important to note that while Laureano acts as her attack dog, Ms. Mosley is very careful to avoid any direct responsibility for his actions. Nevertheless, she plays a clear public and private role in his pressure campaigns.
Ms. Mosley contacted our editor Matt Osborne on 23 August. In direct messages, Mosley referred Osborne to Simon Amaya Price, an ex-trans young man, as a source to report on a story that Laureano was pushing.
Osborne had met Amaya Price at last year’s Federal Trade Commission hearing. Mr. Amaya Price testified next to his father, who became emotional when he described the suicide extortion of clinicians proposing to neuter his son.
In August, Ms. Mosley called Mr. Amaya Price “very diplomatic and kind” when referring him to our editor. Within weeks, however, she began denouncing him as a sexual predator, offering no evidence. Our assessment is that Mr. Amaya Price juggled romantic interests as many indecisive young men do.
Ms. Mosley first pressed Reed and LGBCC in private to take action against Mr. Amaya Price on the basis of an unsubstantiated allegation that he had sexually victimized two ex-trans women.
At the time, Ms. Claire Abernathy was one of the putative victims of Mr. Amaya Price’s alleged assaults. She was also Ms. Mosley’s nanny. This friendship would soon dissolve.
Abernathy denies that she was ever a victim of Mr. Amaya Price. In fact, she tells The Distance that her friendship with Ms. Mosley soured over her own refusal to denounce Mr. Amaya Price at Mosley’s whim. Mosley began to accuse Abernathy of helping Price groom a second women.
In December, after the friendship between Ms. Mosley and Ms. Abernathy had diminished, Ms. Mosley began to accuse Abernathy of criminal participation in a new supposed assault by Simon on a third woman.
Most of the evidence of this campaign of character assassination has disappeared. That is because so many of the people who spread lies about Mr. Amaya Price and Ms. Abernathy deleted their lies, once those lies were exposed. Ms. Mosley’s comments are left standing alone in many places.
Ms. Mosley maintains that Jamie Reed ignored her complaints about Mr. Amaya Price. This is false. Reed and Leggeiri have no staff, but they still investigated the allegations against Amaya Price very thoroughly and spoke to everyone involved over three days.
Being a nonprofit organization, they have acted professionally by not releasing any statements. Ms. Mosley could learn something about professionalism, here.
Mr. Amaya Price has never had any leadership role with LGBCC and was never authorized to speak for them as a volunteer. He was one of the young detransitioners whose travel the organization reimbursed. He has not said or done anything related to LGBCC since October.
We also note that during the months of November and December, at the very same time Ms. Mosley was agitating for Jamie Reed to be canceled over Mr. Amaya Price, he was also featured in a documentary by the International Women’s Forum.
IWF gave the documentary heavy promotion on X, but Ms. Mosley never mentioned the organization even once in public. In fact, Mr. Laureano also never put public pressure on IWF. None of these people have. We have confirmed that that Ms. Mosley complained to the organization in private.
We have also confirmed that Ms. Mosley is a paid ambassador of IWF. She knows better than to risk her income with public attacks against the organization that supports her.
We know of one other organization that was contacted by this campaign of personal destruction that stopped working with Mr. Amaya Price out of an abundance of caution. We note that this organization has not been defamed the way LGBCC has, and we suggest an explanation below.
While she has given no sign of personal animus against LGBCC, Ms. Mosley hangs out in private direct message chats with people who clearly do hold a grudge, starting with Mr. Laureano. We suggest that her best interests have not been foremost in the minds of this peer group.
Leta Boylan
Leta Boylan aka Leta LaStrange aka TerfNurse spoke during the Federal Trade Commission panel on gender medicine last year. Her testimony is at the 6:03:08 mark in this video of the panel.
Boylan claimed that while she worked as a nurse in Wausau, Wisconsin, a female patient “nearly bled out” when her ovaries “virtually exploded”. She claimed that on some days in the youth mental health ward, “every single female was trans identified”. She claimed that Medicaid fraud was “openly discussed” in reference to gender-affirming ‘care.’
These claims may have varying degrees of truth to them, though we are quite sure that ovaries do not actually explode. Sadly, The Distance has confirmed that Boylan’s story was not vetted before the panel. Her invitation was an accident in a volunteer movement and should not be repeated.
The stridency of Boylan’s FTC testimony gives us pause because of the setting and the later circumstances. She appeared alongside Jamie Reed and Tamara Pietzke, who both had highly-engaging stories about the consequences of whistleblowing, whereas Boylan said nothing about the consequences of her own whistleblowing.
That is because she had nothing to say about something that never happened.
Ms. Boylan was not fired from her job for blowing a whistle. The Distance has confirmed that Ms. Boylan lost her nursing job for administering medication without an order from a prescribing authority.
In an email dated Monday, 9 December 2024, Boylan admits to a coworker she was actually fired after administering medicine. Ms. Boylan writes that the nursing manager at North Central Health Care in Wausau explained to her that “I was being fired for giving a medication without an order”.
Ms. Boylan is a fake whistleblower.
The Distance has obtained information that suggests Ms. Boylan’s life turned upside-down around the time of her firing. She appears to have had an acrimonious divorce in which her ex-husband has won everything, while a court has also removed her guardianship over an adult man.
Sources speaking off the record tell The Distance that Ms. Boylan has developed a jealous streak towards Ms. Reed. She has for example accused LGBCC of hiding their IRS 990 forms — a shrill and specious charge that Mr. Laureano and others have amplified.
LGBCC first filed an IRS 990 in 2024, reporting very little income. As we mentioned above, reimbursing the travel of detransitioners in 2025 was the first significant fundraising effort the organization had ever undertaken.
The IRS document will be made available on the government website in 2026 in accordance with federal law. Ms. Boylan will see it the same time everyone else does.
As if attempting to unseat a rival, Ms. Boylan pressured Reed to denounce Mr. Amaya Price. Boylan has confessed her intense dislike for Mr. Amaya Price ever since the FTC panel to other people.
It has never been clear why Ms. Boylan expected LGBCC to do anything about the putative assault of a detransitioned young woman in a state where neither she nor Ms. Reed lived.
Boylan texted a parent volunteer with LGBCC in early December claiming “we have a rape victim” whose “vagina was bleeding after sex with Simon” and that “Jamie is not going to survive this” scandal.
Based on all the information and evidence we have seen, we assess these claims were quite simply false.
Not simply a mischaracterization: they were completely fabricated.
Leading a public cancel mob on X, Boylan called Ms. Reed on 8 December in an attempt to force her into a public denunciation of Mr. Amaya Price, which Ms. Reed declined to do.
As a professional organization, LGBCC was not about to launder baseless allegations on behalf of Ms. Boylan.
Sources close to the organization, who have heard the recording Ms. Reed made of the conversation, describe Boylan’s phone call behavior as “absolutely insane”.
To underline the point: We assess that the story that the Cluster B Clique tells — the story in which Mr. Amaya Price and Ms. Abernathy forced themselves on a detransitioned woman we shall call K.T. — is frankly and purely false.
We have reviewed too many communications in this absurd ‘scene’, looked at every screenshot, and talked to principal witnesses. We conclude that no rape or assault occurred at all on or about 30 November. We will stand by this conclusion in any courtroom.
It would likely be impossible to prove that such an assault took place, even if any evidence for it existed, because the public behavior of the Cluster B Clique has likely abrogated any rights to victim relief that K.T. might have had, once. They have not served her interests at all. They are not legitimate victim advocates.
We find that adult detransitioned people are allowed to have sex if they want to, and that it is nobody else’s business. It is particularly evil that moral scolds with such peccable credentials would burn detransitioned young people at the proverbial stake for having sex like adults. Shame on these Puritans.
By putting the private business of young adults on blast, Leta Boylan has violated the ethics of her nursing profession — and likely set herself up on the wrong end of any defamation litigation that might come out of this affair. Again: we are happy to testify, if needed.
Among the topics we asked her about is a rumored romance with yet another fake detransitioner who has a clearly destructive agenda.
Erica Moise
Michigan-based attorney Erica “Hendrix” Moise, who tweets as Pissed Off Lawyer, announced last September 11th that she was “going to destroy” the gender critical movement.
Ms. Moise had spent months preparing for the day by pretending to detransition. We see no evidence that Moise actually changed anything about herself. Few observers bought into her act by the end. Moise became a joke for a few days in September, and then people moved on.
We note that Ms. Moise has also accused the attorney general for the state of Michigan of conspiring to have her killed and claims that the Democratic Party stole her car. We suggest that all of her allegations and accusations are equally deranged and false as the ones against Mr. Amaya Price and Ms. Abernathy.
Ms. Moise’s favorite hobby involves abusing gay men on gay dating apps, forcing them to express their “acceptance” of trans men or else risk suspension. We suggest that misandry explains a great deal of her behavior.
Ms. Moise claims that she traveled to Boston with K.T., the putative victim, on 30 December 2025 to report Mr. Amaya Price and Ms. Abernathy to the police.
After they announced this reporting trip, Mr. Amaya Price released communications from the supposed victim the day after the supposed assault in which K.T. specifically thanks Mr. Amaya Price for making her feel safe during the encounter.
We assess this was was a non-penetrative make-out session between three young adults.
We assess that K.T. is subject to an online peer group that has entrapped her in a scheme to disrupt detransitioner organizing for a variety of motives.
If Ms. Moise did in fact convince K.T. to fly to Boston and submit a false report, Moise may have committed solicitation and conspiracy to this potentially criminal act.
Ms. Moise has declined to offer contact information for the Boston police officials who took this supposed report.
As Ms. Moise is yet another fake detransitioner, it is hilarious to us that she feigns expertise at discerning who the fake detransitioners are, and that anybody buys anything this fraud ever says.
Anyone who has escaped the cult of gender ideation without surgery is now “fake.”
Anyone who failed to get enough of the ‘correct’ injections is also “fake.”
Anyone who was treated according to WPATH ‘standards’ below a line that no one can actually ever draw is deemed “fake.”
This projected fakeness plays on a hierarchy that emerges out of the differential experiences of desisters — people who never medicalized — compared to those who had hormonal interventions, and then again with those who have had surgeries. These are three different, increasing levels of harm, depending on how deep into the medicalization protocols a victim traveled on their ‘gender journey’.
With increasing frequency, detransition support groups are separated into these three harm levels because the different levels of harm simply do not share the same experiences. Sometimes this can lead to resentments and disagreements.
For her own reasons, Ms. Moise seeks to expand this fracture in a nascent community. By brute force and luck — for she is no strategic genius — Ms. Moise has found and exploited an organizing vulnerability that no one has fully addressed, yet.
It is especially acute with a population that has widely acknowledged personality deficits.
Someone like Prisha Mosley, who had a double mastectomy, can become deeply jealous and resentful of someone like Maia the Peace Poet, who ‘only’ used a binder and ‘only’ socially transitioned in the special conditions of Israeli society.
That is especially true when Maia the Peace Poet maximizes her X revenue. We are stunned and gratified to see Maia’s success on Substack as well. Mosley is not the first ‘gender critical’ person to burn in jealousy over her success at just about everything she tries to do.
Exulansic, whose interventions were “transmasculine/nonbinary” and WPATH-approved, is also frequently attacked for being “fake” even though she has needed major corrective surgery due to her non-surgical transition that ‘only’ used alternative hormone treatments. Her success has also inspired jealousy.
Additionally, the act of desistance or detransition comes after some level of wrong-sex identification. In young people, this condition is most often comorbid with homosexuality, and/or autism, and/or trauma, and/or other psychosocial factors in their lives. Cluster B disorders are particularly prevalent in the population. Such disorders do not resolve on their own with transition, of course. However, desistance and detransition also do not resolve these conditions magically, either.
To be sure, such changes can accompany the effective treatment of mental illness; even Cluster B disorders can improve with effort and cognitive behavioral therapy. But the Cluster B problem often persists after the transgender identity is abandoned.
Prisha Mosley has made no secret of her struggles with Cluster B. We are not mental health professionals, but we suspect that Mr. Laureano and Ms. Boylan could also tick off the boxes necessary for a diagnosis. Ms. Moise is very clearly Cluster B material, too. In fact, all of these people strike us as unwell.
Cynthia Breheny
The troubles began for Simon Amaya Price several weeks after the FTC panel when he needed a place to stay and a friend in the detransition community took him in.
Upon taking up temporary residence in Cynthia Breheny’s home, however, Amaya Price says he began to sense something was off. In fact, Ms. Breheny was already beginning her campaign against his reputation, affecting the way that others, including Ms. Mosley, regarded Mr. Amaya Price.
The Distance has verified that while these events took place during 2025, Ms. Breheny (PTelephant) was living with her current partner and their child while she was still legally married to her previous husband.
Thanks to the unique laws of South Carolina passed in reaction to Obergefell, common law marriages no longer exist after 2019, and therefore do not violate § 16-15-10, the state bigamy law. However, this living arrangement still seems dubious for a moral scold, which Ms. Breheny has been.
Ms. Breheny contacted Jamie Reed in September to complain about Amaya Price. Despite the fact that he was not employed by LGBCC, and had no role with the organization, Breheney seemed to be under the impression that Reed was Amaya Price’s direct work supervisor.
We assess that this strong belief in an absolute fiction began with Ms. Breheny and that she impressed this false belief upon the rest of the Cluster B Clique.
At the time, Mr. Amaya Price was juggling two girlfriends, one of them Ms. Abernathy. The other lived in a different state than Mr. Amaya Price. Nevertheless, Ms. Breheny expressed concerns to both organizers about Amaya Price, a grown man, having adult relationships with adult detransitioned women.
She also accused Mr. Amaya Price of frightening the neighbors by walking past his bedroom window naked. The Distance has toured the rural neighborhood where Ms. Breheny lives by way of Google street view. We found that the nearest neighbor’s house is approximately 200 feet away. We suggest this accusation is frankly impossible.
Let us be clear: We assess that Ms. Breheny is almost certainly LYING when she says the neighbors saw Mr. Amaya Price through his bedroom window. At best, it is a malicious embellishment. It seems to us a pure fabulation.
Ms. Breheny was in the direct message group with Moise, Boylan, Mosley, and Laureano that the collaborators used to conspire against their targets. Corey Cohn, aka Heterodorx, identified the group as “the Cluster B Clique”. Cohn recently stopped using X for unrelated reasons.
To show Mr. Cohn how angry they were, the Cluster B Clique called their secret direct message chat group “The Cluster B Clique”, and then did not tell him, so that he would not be in on the joke.
Thus empowered by vengeance masquerading as justice, they fancied themselves to be the witch hunters teasing out secret Cluster B actors. They made a mistake, however, when they invited Exulansic into their scheme. According to our sources, she is most likely Cluster C, and therefore a bad fit among Cluster Bs.
We assess that their attempt to launder the false accusation against two detransitioners through Exulansic, herself a controversial detransitioner, was an overly-ambitious project to discredit and defame Exulansic on behalf of Ms. Breheny. The two ex-trans women have a longstanding dispute.
The attempt to rope Exulansic into a compromising position through another private chat with the putative victim backfired because she asked probative questions like any good reporter would.
Shocked when Exulansic turned the tables and exposed their fabrications, the Cluster B Clique immediately began denouncing her as a “fake detransitioner” again.
Least surprised of all by this sudden, yet inevitable betrayal was Exulansic, who had predicted it would happen the day before. “People who are bad expect me to be bad”, Exulansic tells The Distance.
Believe people when they show you what they are
The #MeToo era demonstrated the inherent dangers of believing claims against the accused without evidence. The cancel mob always ignores exculpatory information that is widely known and well understood about the accusers. We have not looked away from it.
We have reached out to everyone involved in this story for comment except Mr. Laureano. We assess that anything he would say to us is equally unreliable as anything he has said before, and we do not print lies.
Prisha Mosely responded to our editor by blocking him on X.
Erica Moise appeared in an X space on Tuesday evening to complain about our coverage in advance.
We will update if we hear back from Ms. Breheny or Ms. Boylan, who has suspended her X account.
In summation, we assess that chaos actors are taking advantage of petty personal rivalries and mental health issues in the detransition ‘community’. We call for an end to these pallid imitations of cancel culture.
We assess that some actors in this ‘scene’ very stupidly seek to advance themselves and their petty personal rivalries with the help of these chaos agents.
An unhealthy cult of personality has accumulated around Prisha Mosley. We believe these influences have led her to make bad decisions. Ms. Mosley is still an adult who made her own decisions. Other people have influenced her against Simon, but the smearing of Ms. Abernathy is her own project.
We expect Ms. Mosley to repudiate the falsehoods she has broadcast on social media. If she chooses to continue standing by her false allegations, she must also expect to be held responsible for any future harassment directed at Simon Amaya Price or Claire Abernathy over these false claims.
We stress that while she is very popular on X, and enjoys the amplification of many prominent critics of gender medicalization, Prisha Mosley does not frighten us with her social power to propagate lies about events where she was not present to witness anything.
We expect that a great many people will read this far and still conclude, wrongly, that we are out to get her.
Only the real world consequences of Ms. Mosley’s clique concern us. She does not.
We could not cancel her if we wanted to, and we do not want to.
Her future is her own to cancel.
No one who encouraged Ms. Mosley to make false criminal accusations and whip up cancel mobs on X belongs at any gathering or event where she might still appear. They should not even be in X spaces where she is speaking out. They have damaged her credibility and may have potentially exposed her to civil liability.
This will complicate affairs most of all for Ms. Breheny. We suggest she should apologize to Mr. Simon Amaya Price as well as Ms. Claire Abernathy and move on.
We are not lawyers. But before she continues dividing a community by denouncing other people, we should note that her legal interests differ from many other ex-trans people.
In the recent first-ever $2 million detransition verdict, for example, the plaintiffs successfully argued that the defendants had failed to meet WPATH standards. As a matter of law, it did not matter that WPATH ‘standards’ are a joke. They are the only standards. Ex-trans people are winning lawsuits because even the existing, risible “standards” were not met.
Ms. Mosley’s case is different. Her complaint charges multiple providers of fraud, deception, lack of informed consent, systematic failure to address her underlying mental health conditions, and the experimental and unproven nature of the interventions themselves.
We would all like to see her win, but not at the expense of other potential litigants.
Arianna Laureano frequently changes his profile. For a short time, he took on the persona of Admiral Invalidator, aka Mark Doyle, the Pennsylvania man who made terroristic threats against Maia the Peace Poet, Exulansic, our editor Matt Osborne, and a detransition organizing conference. He is currently The Transphobic Historian. Who knows what he will be next.
We will update this story as needed.
