The defamatory article about @jk_rowling from @thedaytweets, recommended by @educationgovuk, is essentially a piece of political propaganda that condones and joins in with the bullying of a woman for speaking up for women's rights. Training girls not to speak about their rights.
"Rowling implied that we used to call people who have periods “women”."

"Readers are keenly aware of the power of words to cause harm"

"Some of the greatest artistic achievements have been created by deeply unpleasant people"

"Daniel Radcliffe would like us to follow Barthes and enjoy Harry Potter, without worrying too much about its problematic author. But it isn’t as simple as that. We cannot forget the things we know about Dickens or Rowling, and we will read their books differently."

The review of adult gender dysphoria clinics in England will

"determine whether the operation and delivery of the GDC’s meets the requirements set out in the non-surgical interventions service specification."

The answer is yes, unfortunately.

🧵
england.nhs.uk/long-read/term…
The current service spec is based on WPATH. Psychological treatment is not routinely offered and is not mandatory.
Significant medical or mental health conditions are not a barrier to irreversible hormones or surgery as long as those conditions are 'reasonably well-controlled.'
A referral for mastectomy and reconstruction of the chest requires one letter of referral from a Lead Clinician.

A referral for genital surgery requires two letters of referral, at least one must be from a Registered Medical Practitioner with 'expertise in gender dysphoria.'

Will 'lessons be learned' after the latest appalling child abuse scandal?

CofE schools guidance does not give us confidence that @churchofengland understands basic safeguarding.

No child has the responsibility to make any adult man feel 'safe.'

churchofengland.org/about/educatio…
The guidance says:
"Additionally, there are transgender adults amongst the adults (e.g. staff or parents/ carers) within our school communities."

"It is important that pupils are challenged if they use discriminatory language towards the adults in their community."
"It is vital that these members of our school communities are treated with the utmost dignity and respect, and are protected decisively from harm. This protection includes ensuring that they are kept safe from polarised debates about the care or place of gender questioning children and transgender people in society. This is absolutely essential in order to uphold and preserve the psychological safety of this highly at-risk group."

The Charity Commission says "the Commission can confirm that references to puberty blockers and reversibility have been removed from the charity’s website."

It's still there on the charity's Families page, Mermaids has just found a different way to say it: Image
"Charity law requires that the information provided by education charities, or those with an object to advance education, is accurate, evidence based and balanced."

Clearly Mermaids' information for families is not.
"It is unclear from the charity’s website whether the information provided relating to puberty blockers is provided in furtherance of an educational purpose or its other charitable object to relieve mental and emotional stress."

Minimising or covering up risk is not the way.

Stephanie Davies-Arai, founder of Transgender Trend, told the Mail: 'Jolyon Maugham's comment... is highly irresponsible. Yet sadly this kind of claim is widely used by trans activists who assert that blockers are 'life saving'.'

Full quote contd below:

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
'There is in fact no evidence that blockers have any positive effect on mental health, as shown by the Cass Review. What is harmful for children is to be repeatedly told that if they don't get what they want they will die.
This is a dangerous message to give to children who are suggestible and may be emotionally vulnerable.
Maugham is objecting to sensible government measures to protect children from rogue outfits like GenderGP, who prescribe off-label drugs to vulnerable children without proper assessment or monitoring.

New study shows 95% of young women on testosterone developed pelvic floor dysfunction.

Participants, youngest 18, average age 28, had bladder and bowel symptoms that medics would expect to see in a woman after the menopause.

What did medics expect?

telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/2…
"Around 87 per cent of the participants had urinary symptoms such as incontinence, frequent toilet visits and bed-wetting, while 74 per cent had bowel issues including constipation or being unable to hold stools or wind in. Some 53 per cent suffered from sexual dysfunction."
"The researchers said the rate of urinary incontinence, where urine unintentionally leaks, was around three times higher in transgender men than women, affecting around one in four compared to eight per cent of the general female population."

Stonewall now claims to have always supported calls for evidence-based medicine.

But in 2018 Stonewall did everything they could to prevent our evidence-based schools pack going into schools.

Stonewall branded it "dangerous" and "deeply damaging."

thetimes.co.uk/article/fe117e…
This is the full story of how Stonewall tried everything they could to silence us, with defamation and lies that people believed because Stonewall was a respected authority (at the time).

Parts of our guide are now out of date but we think the advice in here is still useful (and compatible with DfE and Cass).

And we're still very proud of it. We know it has been gratefully read and helped many schools navigate this area.
