"It was clear that Bell, and many children like her, were victims of the prevailing orthodoxy of the ‘path of affirmation’. It is troubling to see the lengths to which some were prepared to go to preserve this path."
"Those who are particularly invested in being ‘on the right side of history’ might like to reflect on the judgement yesterday and consider what side of the line they are now on...
...It is too late for Ms Bell, who will have to live with the consequences of the medical and surgical treatment adults were happy to push upon her. But for the generations of children to come, it is hoped that now we will see decisions made in their best interests"

"The High Court ruling in the Keira Bell case is a high-profile marker in the sand that institutions and individuals in the UK cannot now ignore. There is no basis in science for the concept of inner gender identity and it is an ideology with profound and tragic consequences."
"The UK Government now needs to act. As we speak, it plans to roll out the 2021 Census which will allow people to self-ID their sex, which will contain a voluntary question on gender identity. Thereby rolling this insidious ideology to every household in the land..
...with a Government stamp of approval. College of Policing guidance punishes people who challenge the ideology. If you state the simple fact that people cannot change sex, and are accused of transphobia, the police will retain a record against your name accusing you of “Hate”..

Suzie Green getting called on her suicide scaremongering.
She's so used to being soft-soaped in interviews she can't cope when she's challenged and just repeats herself ad absurdum.

judiciary.uk/judgments/r-on… "for the year 2019/2020, 161 children were referred by GIDS for puberty blockers (a further 10 were referred for other reasons). Of those 161, the age profile is as follows:
3 were 10 or 11 yrs old at the time of referral;
13 were 12 yrs old..
...10 were 13 years old;
24 were 14 years old;
45 were 15 years old;
51 were 16 years old; 1
5 were 17 or 18 years old."
"We note here that we find it surprising that such data was not collated in previous years given the young age of the patient group,the experimental nature of the treatment and the profound impact that it has."

spectator.co.uk/article/the-di… "it isn’t old-style homophobes with blue rinses and crucifixes who are waging war on this gay-rights group. It’s the PC left. It’s supposedly correct-thinking commentators, trans activists and others who pride themselves on being progressive and decent."
"Its crime? It is sceptical of some of the claims of transgender activists. Hence there is no ‘T’ in its name. Its aim is to protect and promote the interests of people who are attracted to the same sex..therefore it believes that the reality of sex is quite an important thing."
"if people with male body parts can identify as lesbians – which they can, and often do – then this shrinks the space for actual lesbians (women attracted to women) to express their concerns and interests. "

kathleenstock.com/the-pity-party… "One factor not talked about enough is a performative turn towards kindness. Recently, the UK Left has made “be kind” a political mantra. The perverse effect is that many are now smugger, meaner, and – perhaps most importantly – less politically effective"
"everyone agrees that things like “justice, humanity, magnanimity, prudence” are great. But this isn’t because we’re all morally marvellous. The reason is much more banal: it’s that the meanings of these concepts have a measure of approval built in...
...To understand, at least roughly, what “justice” or “prudence” are, is already to know they are supposed to be positive things..it remains very difficult to agree what concrete course of actions actually count, in practice, as just or prudent – or, for that matter, kind."
