Many seem to think I am denying that children know if they are same or opposite sex attracted. I am not. Many children know at an early age. But that doesn’t make them ‘queer’ - because that is an adult, political ideology.
Let’s be really clear. No child should ever be bullied, shamed or made to feel afraid about their feelings of attraction, which often stir at a very early age. All children deserve a right to grow up safe and protected.
No adult has any business in wanting to engage in conversion with a young child about the details of their own sexual attractions or activities. This is highly likely to be abusive.
Children are not ‘queer’ for the same reason they can’t vote. They lack the cognitive capacity to overlay their sexual feelings with an ideology that purports to deny the existence of physical sex.

Hello Sue. I am a co-author of this report. Please could you expand a little more on what is ‘utterly abhorrent’ about this foreword? In either it’s content or the fact it’s attached to the report?
O dear. I appear to be blocked. Were I not blocked I would like to have a conversation about what exactly in the substance of this report which I co- authored did Ms Pascoe find so ‘abhorrent’.
Then go on to discuss the utility and purpose of describing arguments who don’t agree with as ‘utterly abhorrent’ rather than either engaging with their substance or respecting that person’s right to make the argument.
My reply to the Vice Chancellor of Portsmouth University. I won’t publish his email to me as I don’t have permission to do so. But I think you will get the flavour from my response.
Here is what I now understand about what happened on Saturday at #FiLiA2021. There was a protest organised by @PlaceSteph which was supported by @amnesty. There was a separate protest organised by Cllr Claire Udy. A separate protest organised by staff/students at Portsmouth Uni.
I am told the police confirmed the arrival of another group at some time in the afternoon. And these were responsible for the offensive/threatening signs and chalking. @PlaceSteph assures me that her group did not know and did not encourage this final group.
I am willing to take her word for this. I have made formal inquiry of Portsmouth University to ascertain the extent to which members of their staff were involved. I have made formal complaint to Cllr Claire Udy having seen Facebook posts where she apparently celebrates the images
But don’t we first have to define ‘violence’? If you mean no women were knocked to the ground by angry men, then yes, happily we were spared this. But then we come to the issue of the signs and the chalked drawings.
That many women who were survivors of male sexual violence, would have found deeply distressing and intimidating and as bad as a punch in the face. I hope you can find out who was responsible and that they are not welcome at any future protests.
Because any movement which relies on threats and intimidation to another group, going about their lawful business, is not on the ‘right side of history’. Particularly THESE threats to THIS group.
