Nov 2019 a document appears called "Only adults? Good practices in legal gender recognition for youth", authored by multiple orgs, prepared by Dentons:"the biggest law firm in the world when it merged with Dacheng in China & McKenna Long & Aldridge in US to create a behemoth" 1/
The document was reported by legal blog Roll On Friday
"Only adults? Good practices in legal gender recognition for youth advises campaigners to be secretive about the changes they are lobbying to put into law". We see you #Mermaids, @lgbtys @ScotGovFM 2/

& Spectator "Based on contributions of trans groups from around the world (incl. 2 in UK, 1 of which is not named), it collects & shares 'best practice' in 'lobbying' to change the law so that parents no longer have say on their child’s legal gender" 3/

So the world's biggest (US & Chinese-based?) legal firm laying out how the sausages are made, how stealthy lobbying for increased trans rights should be undertaken, tagged on to other legislation, in the name of human rights. Read the report yourself : 4/

We have to admire them for their sizeable cajones (however they identify) for showing us how they have got this far, how legislation has been successful (they weren't expecting @ForWomenScot to poke a stick in their spokes though 😈), like "using a veil of protection" or 5/
targeting youth politicians as they will be "on the right side of history".
Perhaps not the ones expressing a desire to "beat the f*** out of terfs" though, eh, Cameron? Or 6/

to Carpe Diem, latching yourself on to any public moods, or a passing misogynist wave which tries (& fails) to claim UK women are turning into right-wing evangelical fascists, demanding to see the genitals of anyone in the ladies lav. Or rape crisis centres. Aye, right. 7/
And yet...only today an article was produced that took all the batshit misogyny currently wafting around, mixed it up with eye of SNP newt, tongue of Green Party member, sprinkled with rainbow glitter and launched in to the world. archive.ph/NZfRY

It's almost like this article was written by someone who has read the "Denton's Report", who has learned from it & as tried implement the credo. How dare women express concern about males in rape crisis centres, female toilets and prisons? The bloody terfy witches! Burn them! 9/
So we ask @opendemocracy & author @adamramsay if they're following the Denton guidance? Who Open Democracy is funded by. Simple question. Straight forward. Show your cards (because we can see them anyway, you might as be honest about your lobbying & bias).
Signed, The Women

An interesting addendum, some context on one of the people quoted in this Denton-type document (another young politician on the right side of history? This is working out well)
