Disgust at homosexuality hasn't gone away. That's what makes this moment in history far worse than the Section 28 era I grew up in.

We're called bigots for saying that young people & society's enthusiasm for transgenderism is a response to homophobia & is itself homophobic.
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.
4/ It's entirely an external presentation. Yet these trans men, females, feel better able to live their lives & more importantly, they feel free to love women -- while presenting as male. The analogy would be if I as a black woman decided to take medication to present as white.
5/ As a treatment for a mental health condition, when all other avenues of treatment have failed is one thing, as a choice to be made in childhood, as a right, I think is wrong.

We're converting lesbian and gay children.

End
* I think these figures from GIDS should give everyone pause for thought when arguing about banning conversion therapy & including 'gender identity' in that. Image
** Here's the article from which the graphic showing that nearly 70% of children presenting at GIDS, thinking that they're transgender are same-sex attracted. This is extraordinary & is being ignored by LBGTQ orgs & some lawyers who support banning conversion therapy. Start here.

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 ..."

1/ If @VICE has audio of Kemi Badenoch ranting about LGBTQ people they better disclose it, fast.

Making a distinction between males & females when considering single-sex provision is necessary & eminently sensible.

2/ If referring to transsexuals is transphobic, then the Equality Act 2010 is transphobic!

Section 7 of the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Reassignment), the protected characteristic, is a reference to a *transsexual person*.
3/ Nowhere in the article is Kemi Badenoch quoted questioning same-sex marriage. If @BenInLDN has listened to the audio and she does, why doesn't he disclose it?

1/ My personal opinion:

Between February 1979 and June 1986, Colin Pitchfork raped and or indecently assaulted (oral rape with screwdriver to head) FOUR schoolgirls, two of whom he murdered. Both murdered schoolgirls were strangled.
2/ The fourth victim was subjected to an unspeakably brutal sexual assault & murder. Her perineum, the area between vagina & anus was split, she was punched in the head. The anal ring was spread with three fissures. The pathologist described a “brutal sexual attack”. She was 15.
3/ Reports on Pickford repeatedly speak of his ability to manipulate those in authority. One sees evidence of this manipulation in the parole board reasoning: his sexual frustration & loneliness, a desire to dominate & control. SO WHAT, WHO CARES.

1/ Yesterday I posted that gender identity is comparable to the extreme racism of Enoch Powell. I deleted that tweet because I failed to make it clear that I don't suggest that gender identity = racism. I do think the hateful rhetoric & threats are comparable.
2/ I can honestly say that I have never encountered such racist, violent language & threats in my life until now & it's coming from many so called trans activists & gay men.
3/ The trans movement uses blackness & black women to serve its agenda. We add colour & 'diversity' when it suits. But scratch the surface & what is revealed is a degree of hatred of black & brown women in particular that is more overt than anything I've ever encountered.

1/ I love a good speech, even if I disagree with the message. MP @MhairiBlack gave a blisteringly good speech for Pride 2021 yesterday. But that is where my admiration ends.

The finest advocates are capable of using their skill to misrepresent (with passion) the true picture.
2/ It's wrong to reduce the concerns that women, in particular, have about gender identity into left or right politics.

It's wrong & dangerous to insist that everything trans is positive & everything else hateful.
3/ It's possible to support transgender rights but not support self-ID or males in female only intimate settings.

It's possible to support transgender people playing sport but not support males taking female sporting places.

1/ GIDS: The evidence of former GIDS clinician Dr Mathew Bristow, reported in summary in today's Sunday Times is *deeply* shocking.

Homophobia; chid sexual abuse; the suspected grooming of a GIDS patient by a trans woman in the USA; bullying of staff, especially gay staff.
2/ MB - Dr Polly Carmichael's response to concern that GIDS was converting gay children: "I have always said gay staff were too close to the work." DB felt this was intrinsically homophobic.
3/ MB - "there was a siege mentality in the service ... everyone is out to get them."

MB - heard from others that PC told staff not to take safeguarding concerns to Sonia Appleby - the highly regarded safeguarding lead.
