Gradually people around the world are starting to realize that what’s presented as “protecting a vulnerable minority” is precisely the opposite.
It’s one of those language tricks.
Minors are vulnerable. That’s why we have child safeguarding laws & rules.

Language tricks:
“Inclusive” means including within the category of women (a sex class) any male who asserts [pronoun] identifies as a woman: everywhere from sport to lesbian dating sites; from rape shelters to women’s prisons. It also means *excluding* all those who disagree.

Language tricks:
A “trans child” is a boy who says [pronoun] is a girl, or a girl who says [pronoun] is a boy. This is to fly in the face of everything we know about child developmental psychology. It denies the lived experience of detransitioners.

1./ The return of the exorcist! As an atheist I'm curious why the LGBTQ+ campaign for a ban on so-called "conversion therapy" has such a fixation about exorcism. They make it sound like mainstream Christianity gave up this bizarre practise decades ago. Have I got news for them...
2./ A peek at the website of the Anglican church's @dioceseoflondon site reveals it provides helpful advice on the paranormal. "Only rarely is exorcism involved", it says reassuringly. Phew. So is this Stonewall-backed campaign against ALL such exorcisms? london.anglican.org/kb/advisers-on…
3./ If they want THAT shouldn't they say? I wish myself belief in demons didn't exist at all but it's not my job to tell the religious what to believe. Maybe the campaign will demand the Vatican cancels its annual course to teach exorcism to 200+ priests? bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…
