1/I have joined Twitter under a pseudonym because this tweet makes my blood boil. #Homophobic #bullying, which went unchallenged at primary and secondary school, is what led to my daughter declaring she was a boy. Only then she was protected.
2/Only then was there #safeguarding. But it was I who was seen as the safeguarding risk. Her rapid #mentalhealth decline was not of interest. Because #transgender children are magical and special. #safeguarding no longer applies.
3/Our #stonewalldiversitychampion school told me I was the problem: a bigot, a fantasist, a danger to my child. Our #GP did not help, our #MP did not help, our #localcouncil did not help. Instead they recommended parenting courses, for me.

I was one of the #ExtinctionRebellion rebels arrested at the top end of Whitehall yesterday afternoon, along with @GeorgeMonbiot and @jon_bartley. I don't think this is brave or heroic, but it is important to me for two reasons [thread]:
@GeorgeMonbiot @jon_bartley First, to continue to draw attention to the Government's inaction on the climate and ecological emergencies.
#ThisIsAnEmergency
@GeorgeMonbiot @jon_bartley Second, to defy the use of the Section 14 to outlaw peaceful protest throughout the capital. I look forward to the opportunity to challenge this restriction on the democratic process in court.
