Nov 2019 a document appears called "Only adults? Good practices in legal gender recognition for youth", authored by multiple orgs, prepared by Dentons:"the biggest law firm in the world when it merged with Dacheng in China & McKenna Long & Aldridge in US to create a behemoth" 1/
The document was reported by legal blog Roll On Friday
"Only adults? Good practices in legal gender recognition for youth advises campaigners to be secretive about the changes they are lobbying to put into law". We see you #Mermaids, @lgbtys @ScotGovFM 2/

& Spectator "Based on contributions of trans groups from around the world (incl. 2 in UK, 1 of which is not named), it collects & shares 'best practice' in 'lobbying' to change the law so that parents no longer have say on their child’s legal gender" 3/
spectator.co.uk/article/the-do…
So the world's biggest (US & Chinese-based?) legal firm laying out how the sausages are made, how stealthy lobbying for increased trans rights should be undertaken, tagged on to other legislation, in the name of human rights. Read the report yourself : 4/

We have to admire them for their sizeable cajones (however they identify) for showing us how they have got this far, how legislation has been successful (they weren't expecting @ForWomenScot to poke a stick in their spokes though 😈), like "using a veil of protection" or 5/
targeting youth politicians as they will be "on the right side of history".
Perhaps not the ones expressing a desire to "beat the f*** out of terfs" though, eh, Cameron? Or 6/

to Carpe Diem, latching yourself on to any public moods, or a passing misogynist wave which tries (& fails) to claim UK women are turning into right-wing evangelical fascists, demanding to see the genitals of anyone in the ladies lav. Or rape crisis centres. Aye, right. 7/
And yet...only today an article was produced that took all the batshit misogyny currently wafting around, mixed it up with eye of SNP newt, tongue of Green Party member, sprinkled with rainbow glitter and launched in to the world. archive.ph/NZfRY
8/
It's almost like this article was written by someone who has read the "Denton's Report", who has learned from it & as tried implement the credo. How dare women express concern about males in rape crisis centres, female toilets and prisons? The bloody terfy witches! Burn them! 9/
So we ask @opendemocracy & author @adamramsay if they're following the Denton guidance? Who Open Democracy is funded by. Simple question. Straight forward. Show your cards (because we can see them anyway, you might as be honest about your lobbying & bias).
Signed, The Women
👀
An interesting addendum, some context on one of the people quoted in this Denton-type document (another young politician on the right side of history? This is working out well)

"Children distressed about their gender are pushed onto the Sandyford clinic in Glasgow because the rest of the health service finds their care too hard to handle, a leading NHS manager said" 1/
thetimes.com/article/380670…
Rhoda MacLeod, head of adult services for the Sandyford sexual health clinic, told MSPs that as soon as a child began questioning their gender “everybody goes, ‘Oh, I can’t deal with this. They need to go to the gender service’”.
She described the care of such young patients being dumped on the “too-hard-to-deal-with pile”. MacLeod noted other Scottish health boards had not taken steps to open their own clinics for children with gender issues adding it is “plainly obvious, why not”.

Sandy Brindley's the CEO of Rape Crisis Scotland & on GMS today she said agreed that a female survivor asking for support by rape crisis should be able to specifiy she gets female support (at 2 hours 17mins) & said this was the case across all centres 1/
bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Which may come as a surprise to women paying attention to what has been going on in Scotland in relation to gender identity and what appears to be a blind acceptance in @scotgov-funded charities that if a male calls himself a woman he must be treated as a woman 2/
Sandy's been at the forefront of this push &, even if her hands are technically clean of the decision to recruit a male as CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis (a male that counsels female survivors & doesn't tell them he's male), we know that the ideology of "Transwomen are women" 2/

2nd article in days about LGBT Youth Scotland in Scottish schools. You need to be asking who is wielding influence in *your* child's school. "My daughter was ‘radicalised’ by Scottish LGBT club in school" 1/

Mother forced to pull child out of state school after uncovering ‘cult-like’ materials shared between members.
Holly* was drawn to her local school’s LGBT “allies” club by her fascination with flags.
When she began attending classes in March 2021, after her school in East Lothian, reopened from lockdown, she found noticeboards and classrooms plastered with Pride and trans colours. Teachers even displayed their pronouns on rainbow-coloured signs on their classroom doors.

Is there any other lobbying group in Scotland allowed such easy access to our children, schools & curriculum as LGBT Youth Scotland (& TIE), to imprint their ideology on prepubescent minds. If you're not furious, you don't understand what's happening 1/
telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/1…
Scottish primary schools are appointing children as “LGBT champions” and are being urged to ask pupils as young as four if they are gay, lesbian or trans, The Telegraph can reveal. 2/
Documents show that schools are setting up LGBT clubs and “gender and sexual orientation alliance groups” for pupils as part of their membership of a scheme run by the charity LGBT Youth Scotland.

Today we, & a group of other supporters from far flung places such as Shropshire & Ayr, witnessed @iwontwheesht read a list of factual statements such as humans are unable to change sex & that women don't have penises (unless they've acquired them through nefarious means) 1/
Such is legislation in Scotland 2024, this is a brave act from a women wishing to assert her right to speak factually of issues which affect our rights to discuss our safety, privacy & dignity. We must be able to speak of sex & risks posed by males #HumzasHateCrime 2/
We, & she, have no idea if this video will be reported to @police_scotland as a "stirring up" #HateCrime. In the meantime, we hope you all take the opportunity to speak factually & not be silenced by this misjudged law. We cannot allow women's rights to be undermined 💚🤍💜 3/

"Scotland’s top doctor has been urged to scrap a policy that allows transgender patients to change their sex on medical records, amid claims the policy poses a
risk to their health" 1/
@ForWomenScot called on @DrGregorSmith, Scotland’s Chief Medical Officer, to follow the UK Gov
by ordering a review of data records that “deny biology". In the Scottish NHS, trans people can change their CHI number – a 10 digit code given to every patient - 2/
so that it identifies them as a member of their
self-declared gender identity, rather than biological sex. While there are now policies to ensure these patients are still called for relevant cancer screening programmes, such as cervical or breast checks for
trans men (females) 3/
