I've been absolutely LOVING seeing the children's artwork for #TheIckabog, so I was sorry to see this tweet, which misrepresents the terms of @Scholastic's illustration competition (it's important to realise that different terms and conditions apply in different countries). 1/3 Image
A *non-exclusive* license simply allows the use of the entries of your children’s artwork on social media, in articles and other materials around the contest. @Scholastic won’t use them for anything else. 2/3
Without this non-exclusive license, I wouldn't be allowed to share pictures on social media or respond to the artists. Only WINNERS will be asked to transfer copyright and they will of course receive receive prizes in addition to inclusion in the book. Hope this helps! 3/3
I don't know why there's an extra receive in that sentence. Sometimes my brain and my fingers go different ways.

This astounding paper reminds me of Hannah Arendt's The Banality of Evil: 'The net effect of this language system was not to keep these people ignorant of what they were doing, but to prevent them from equating it with their old, ‘normal’ knowledge.' 1/5
bmcmedethics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
We're all used to the obfuscatory language gender activist medics and their cheerleader, insist upon. 'Gender affirming care/treatment' is so much nicer sounding than 'sterilisation, surgical mutilation and provision of toxic drugs to troubled minors'. 2/5
But this paper breaks new ground. It acknowledges that by the usual medical standards ('old normal knowledge') transitioning minors has not been found to be the unqualified success many have claimed. The proposed solution? Jettison the old knowledge. Redefine success. 3/5

This is big.

The UK Charity Commission has directed that Mermaids - the single most influential activist group regarding child transition in the UK - must "have regard to the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Cass Review.” 1/6

gov.uk/government/new…
Cass found "the rationale for early puberty suppression remains unclear, with weak evidence regarding the impact on gender dysphoria, mental or psychosocial health. The effect on cognitive and psychosexual development remains unknown."

Mermaids disagreed:
2/6 Image
Mermaids also sent out breast binders without parental consent. A 2015 study found that 97% of female users "reported at least one of 28 negative outcomes attributed to binding." Mermaids has now been told to follow Cass Review findings re: binders.

Roz Adams has been awarded £35k for the harassment she suffered at Edinburgh Rape Crisis. She was subject to a ‘Kafkaesque’ ordeal for believing the centre should be allowed to discuss the natal sex of support workers with rape survivors. 1/12
telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/1…
As Roz says: 'I don’t know how any organisation can claim to have women only spaces or services while not defining what a woman is or what female means.'

In 2023, Sandy Brindley, CEO of RCS, said 'work was underway' on a definition of women. 2/12
.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…
One year on and Brindley still hasn't produced her definition. You might think the CEO of a service that claims to offer woman-only support would be able to say what a woman is, but Brindley is one of those whose ideology forbids any definition of women that excludes men. 3/12

Dear Sandy,

While you've been in charge at Rape Crisis Scotland, a man now serving time in prison for multiple sexual assaults was 'treated' at the Edinburgh centre.

The man in charge of the Edinburgh centre called rape survivors who wanted single sex services 'bigots.' 1/9 Image
Under your leadership, multiple women self-excluded from the Edinburgh centre because of the male CEO you defended and praised.

On your watch, a 14-year-old girl who'd been raped felt unable to access support because she wasn't guaranteed a single sex space. 2/9 Image
You claim I misrepresented what happened at the meeting at which rape survivors were harangued by your trans activist partner, who shouldn't have been there at all. Here's the survivors' own account of what happened.

I've been aware of one of the incidents described in this thread for a long time, because I know people involved. I'm posting this in response to the head of Rape Crisis Scotland's attempts to use rape survivors as human shields for her own career. 1/9
The incident involves a group of female sexual assault survivors, who a few years ago requested a meeting with Sandy Brindley, head of Rape Crisis Scotland. They wanted to express their concerns about gender self-ID legislation. 2/9
Specifically, the survivors wanted Rape Crisis Scotland to support a woman's right to request a female medical practitioner. They went to the meeting well aware that they'd be reliving and possibly discussing their own highly traumatic experiences . 3/9

Today has seen the publication of a damning report into the culture of the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre under CEO Mridul Wadhwa, a man who identifies as a woman. 1/10
thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…
According to the report's author, legal specialist Vicky Ling, the regime of the rape crisis centre under the trans-identified CEO “caused damage” to survivors. Some “did not feel safe” using it. 2/10
It was because I knew sexual assault victims were self-excluding from the only rape support centre in my home city, that I founded and fund @beirasplace, a woman-only service for female survivors of sexual assault in Edinburgh and Lothian. 3/10
