1/ @VictoriaPeckham thank you for this. If childhood still means anything at all, we cannot allow the gender ideology led LGBT+ movement to dismantle the boundaries between adults and children in the way that it is doing.

2/ We know that gender ideology was born from Queer Theory, which from its inception sought to minimise & dismiss the horror of child sexual abuse. Its greatest proponents argued in favour of the possibility of consensual adult-child sexual relationships & still do.

3/ It has nothing to do with being LGB or T. Child sex offenders come in every shape & size & most are heterosexual men. However, Gay Rights have been repeatedly targeted by paedophiles & each & every time it has been lesbians & women who have beat them back & we will again.

4/ If trans rights activists meet every concern about child safeguarding with well rehearsed & co-ordinated abuse, without engaging with concerns & being accountable by normal safeguarding standards, they will inadvertently have welcomed child sex offenders into their ranks.

5/ I fear that adults who want access to vulnerable children are likely to conclude that the LGBT+ movement is a good bet precisely because protecting LGBT+ reputations seems more important to these organisations & individuals than addressing legitimate safeguarding concerns.

6/ It’s as if we have forgotten the most important rule of child safeguarding: no organisation, institution or individual is above scrutiny & accountability. Those that when challenged scream abuse, hurl insults & engage in bigoteering, should receive more scrutiny, not less.

7/ My greatest fear is that we are witnessing an attempt to remove the age of consent by stealth.

It’s now down to ordinary right-thinking people to stand up & oppose the blurring of child / adult sexual & gender identities because LGBT+ orgs seem incapable of doing so.
