Remember: the Government's own research study found no new published evidence on this from the UK.

If the "entire British medical community" is agreeing with Stonewall on this, it is entirely political: it is doing so with *no evidence*.
It s a scandal that so many medical schools have signed up to the thought defying GLAAD charter

The recommendations of the Scottish Government's "Expert Advisory Group on Ending Conversion Practices" are chilling

Misogyny 101: Disdain for mothers

Things I say rarely get commented on by Owen Jones, Billy Bragg, Robin Moira White etc.. but the library rhyme time scheme really seemed to hit a nerve with these people and the hoards of TRA/MRA trolls who are playing it for lols.
A bunch of people have jumped on me saying I am criticising a book. Just to be clear: this isn’t a book (people can write crappy books with ugly cartoon characters if they want). This is about a public library scheme for parents (mainly mothers) and toddlers.
My concerns (following a message from a mum who said it felt ideological, creepy and gaslighting) were:
1. It is promoting gender ideology (non-binary, they/them pronouns) to children
2. It is excluding parents (mainly mothers) who don’t want this.

As @HJoyceGender points out spiraling denunciation played out at CGD.

At first my colleagues thought what I said was fine, but fell into a spiral arguing my views were on par with Nazism.

In court it turned out they had no evidence to support this.
thehelenjoyce.com/joyce-activate…
These were nice, smart people, on the same side as me in life, and yet this got out of control and they turned into authoritarian inquisitors.
Similarly 45 minutes before he denounced me as being a far-right sympathiser, Skyler was fairly sure I wasn't a far-right sympathiser.

(Its the kind of thing I'd want to be sure of!)

Some more thoughts about Bookstart Bear and Tala

(because no, I don't buy the sneering argument that this is not important. Stuff about young children and mothers is not beneath consideration. That's feminism) ImageImage
Library programmes are one of the first outside things parents engage in with their children. Education involves slowly growing independence. Parents protect their children, and institutions must work with parents. Don't trust institutions and people who lie or are ambiguous.
Bookstart Bear is shown as an adult protecting and nurturing a child. According to the brand he is male, though I guess most children will read this picture as a mama bear. Most babies and toddlers are primarily cared for by their mothers ImageImage

The @Guardian misreports on the @NatCen survey

On the left is what NatCen says and on the right is what the Guardian says

The previous question refereed to "the sex on their birth certificate not "whether a person had a broader right to change gender"
How did the Guardian get this so wrong... it seems it skipped ahead to the next bit of the @natcen @whatukthinks report where John Curtice speculates on what people *may* think.

Why do that ? Why not just report on the Qs asked?

bsa.natcen.ac.uk/media/39478/bs…
Report says "we should be aware that there is apparently still some potential for disagreement about what should be done about the rights & recognition of transgender people"

More succinctly: there is wide disagreement!

(NatCen is where Nancy Kelly worked before Stonewall btw)
