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.

1/ According to Ruth Hunt CEO of Stonewall until 2019, “It’s perfectly legitimate for Stonewall to advocate that position [that transwomen are women]. It doesn’t say ‘trans women are women’ and if you disagree, *we’re going to do something terrible to you*”
2/Well, Ruth, I did disagree and Stonewall *did something terrible to me.* On 21 October 2019, Stonewall wrote to my chambers (a few months after you stepped down as CEO) demanding that I be sacked, shamelessly leveraging Stonewall's influence to do so. allisonbailey.co.uk/wp-content/upl…
3/ Whether Stonewall's actions in soliciting my removal from chambers was unlawful under the EqA 2010 is the subject of appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal. That Stonewall sent this letter to my chambers is not in dispute. All because I disagreed that TWAW literally.
1/The Employment Tribunal found that Garden Court Chambers discriminated against me because of my gender critical belief when it published a statement that I was under investigation & in upholding Stonewall’s complaint against me.
2/The ET further found that GCC also victimised me by upholding the Stonewall Complaint because of my protected act: tweeting against the idea of the ‘Cotton Ceiling’ & about the appalling levels of fear and intimidation driving the Stonewall self ID agenda.
3/In doing so the tribunal held that my protected gender critical belief also included the belief that "gender identity theory as proselytised by Stonewall is severely detrimental" to women, and to lesbians.
1/ Over the past few days, I have beens subjected to a vicious & co-ordinated campaign of vile abuse & harrassment by trans rights activists.
They seized on single sentence from my speech: "Girls are having breasts removed that have never known a lover's caress".
2/ In a short while my speech will be released & everyone can judge for themselves whether I was advocating for the molestation of children or for young people to experience sexual intimacy in their bodies before having bits of them amputated.
3/ The point is this is a political tactic. Trans activists rightly worry that I will speak truth to power & they are scared. They have come for me, like they have for so many other women. The goal is to instil fear & to stop people speaking out. It's a form or terrorism.
2/ It's about sex stereotypes. You cannot explain the concept of 'gender identity' without them. The sudden jump in the number of girls wishing to present as boys correlates with same-sex attraction. The same is true for boys.
3/ I've been stunned by the number of trans men, females, who say they were lesbians & cannot conceal their discomfort with that word / reality. Being gay is seen as more difficult, more shameful; feelings that most lesbians & gays can relate to at some point or other.
1/ The former chief scientific advisor for the Scottish Government and European Commission Prof. Dame Anne Glover has the courage to say what should not require courage to say: sex is binary and cannot be changed.
2/ "proposed reforms that would allow trans women to legally self-declare themselves biological women and trans men to self-declare themselves biological men make no sense from a scientific point of view."
3/ "it is important to be realistic about trans women remaining biologically male and trans men remaining biologically female because biology “predisposes us to certain diseases”.
“[A trans woman] is different because she was born sexually as a man ..."
