Q "has the TERF responsible been fired" ...
A"its an understandable but incorrect assumption that a TERF was responsible"
This is extraordinarily unprofessional & concerning from @RainbowNHSBadge scheme.
40 NHS Trusts are part of the "NHS Rainbow Badge assessment model"
Try that exchange substituting a slur for a person with any other protected characteristic in place of "TERF" and ask yourself if this is an acceptable way for a public body to behave?
NHS Institutions should not be signing up to be trained and rated by organisations that do not understand the Equality Act and that promote unlawful discrimination.
@victor_madrigal 's report quotes from Meet the Moment : A call for Progressive Philanthropic Response to the Anti Gender Movement by the Global Philanthropy Project group of LGBT funders
They report how anti-gender movements "funnel" money overseas (sounds dodgy doesn't it?)
Being a transgender is not (so they say) a medical condition.
The Equality Act protected characteristic does not require medical diagnosis.
Yet the EqA protected characteristic is being used as a lever to remove safeguards from extreme medical treatment
Their case is that whatever safeguards are put in place around "trans children" should be compared to "non trans children": as if the EqA was there to protect people's right to be sterilised without consent!
No one is sterilising non trans children to make them look better
MUST READ: This is Dr Marci Bowers, transwoman, WPATH Board Member, world-renowned vaginoplasty specialist who operated on Jazz Jennings talking to @AbigailShrier
This is Erica Anderson, clinical psychologist at the University of California San Francisco’s Child and Adolescent Gender Clinic, transwoman WPATH Board member
They are saying the things that have got @ALLIANCELGB and @Transgendertrd called "Hate Groups" by Stonewall and Mermaids, that have got @JamesEsses investigated, James Caspian's research stopped, & @LisaLittman1 & Abigail Shrier hounded.
At 38 minutes - Robin Moira White "the go to lawyer for trans cases". Some good questions from @Emmabarnett. She has done her homework bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Robin gives advice on toilets - both in workplaces and in education. We don't have segregated workplaces any more. there used to be race segregation in NASA. There used to sex segregation.
(dodges the question of why we still have sex segregation in toilets)
Says an example of proportionate means to a legitimate aim of trans exclusion would be "breast screening", a higher degree of nakedness. It may be legitimate to say to a trans user that they need to come at a different time. That is the extreme of the position. [No case law here]
