1./ A Thread. Is the Scottish govt's Gender Recognition Reform a paedophile charter? I fear so. Take the insistence on reducing the age a child can change their legal sex from Age 18 to 16. This may risk @NHSScotland unwittingly aiding and abetting abusers. Here's how.👉

2./ Children often look forward to 16 as a gateway to "adulthood". Giving them the chance to legally change their sex at 16 is bound to create added pressure on children under 16 and their parents to "be ready for the big moment". What does that mean in practice?👉

3./ If you're a girl that has gender dysphoria you'll want to avoid looking too much like a woman when you get your new certificate that says you're "male". One way to do that is to demand puberty blockers. Kids as young as 9 can get them in Scotland.

4./ The problem is puberty blockers keep children mentally and physically pre-pubescent. The NY Times revealed how they prevent up to 12% bone development for every year they're taken. Kids end up smaller and more fragile. Who could that appeal to? 🤔

5./ Many children given puberty blockers have other mental health vulnerabilities. Yet during the debate about the GR Reform Bill the Scottish government has emphasised the Cass Review, which urges caution on prescribing, will be ignored.

6./ From Sweden to France new restrictions are being put on the prescribing of blockers. Scotland is rushing in the other direction with £9M set aside to fast track kids on to blockers and an affirmation only approach to gender identity being enforced.

7./ This is especially dangerous since the main global promoter of blockers, trans health lobby group @WPATH, is immersed in scandal after it declared 'eunuch' a gender identity. Should we affirm troubled 12 year olds who say they want to be eunuchs?🤦‍♂️

8./ @Genevieve_Gluck revealed how those writing the @WPATH guidelines included paedophile apologists who were linked to disgusting sites that fantasised about ....child castration. Here's her on the subject with Graham Linehan. #BringBackGlinner

9./ The combination of pushing puberty blockers which keep kids prepubescent and enforcing affirmation of identities that may arise out of abuse (such as a child loathing their body so much they want to be a eunuch) means the Scottish NHS risks aiding and abetting sexual abuse.

10./ If WPATH - whose guidelines govern trans health care in Scotland- is influenced by men who fantasise about castrating children how can we be sure the safeguards within our healthcare system (which is now fast-tracking the castration of young people) are robust enough?

11./ Of course we must always guard against wild conspiracy theories. Who can forget the nonsense of Pizzagate? Paedophilia unleashes such powerful emotions we must never allow fantasies to take root. But in Scotland we may have a different problem.

12./ The Scottish govt had a reminder of the dangers of paedophilia not so long ago. It has funded a leading LGBTQ+ group for years despite its CEO at the time being jailed in 2009 for "the worst child abuse ever to come before a Scottish court".

13./ LGBT Youth Scotland's James Rennie, was part of a global network of paedophiles who exchanged images of child rape. He himself raped a months old baby, the son of a local couple who were friends. The jury wept at the images they had to look at.

14./ Did the scandal lead to an Inquiry? NO. Even though it had, in part, been coordinated from an LGBT+ charity's offices. Maybe politicians were embarrassed by the motion they'd passed applauding the group just 2 years before Rennie's arrest.👇

15./ You'd think the disaster at LGBT Youth Scotland would have led to a firmer resolve to protect children. Yet Nicola Sturgeon did nothing about her senior colleague Derek Mackay who had a serious drink problem except ban him drinking at conference.

16./ Sturgeon did that because she knew Mackay was known to get handsy. She did nothing about the fact he invited school classes into Parliament including after hours. Many were the same age as the 16 year old schoolboy to whom he sent sext messages.

17./ So much does the Scottish government care about child safety that when Mackay's harassment of the 16 year old boy was revealed Sturgeon's office allegedly tried to stop publication of the story, claiming it was intruding on his personal life.👇

18./ So what have we learned? The Scottish govt has shown lax standards about child protection close to home. It lavishly funds an LGBTQ+ group implicated in one of the biggest paedophile scandals of our time and despite the fact it wasn't investigated after its CEO was jailed.

19./ It is now spending millions fast tracking Scottish children on to puberty blockers despite a UK Review which called that approach into question and said it risked trapping kids in gender dysphoria and failing to deal with mental health issues.

20./ This approach is championed by an increasingly discredited global health organisation @wpath which has paedophile advocates embedded within it. Together all this suggests the shift from 18 to 16 in the G R Bill is full of risks. But if children won't benefit, who might?

21./ What possible minority in society would benefit from a medical production line that increases the number of young, adult sexual partners whose bodies and minds have been frozen in pre-pubescence at the ages of 12 or 13? There's only one I can think of. Begins with a P.
