I've been working with families of kids who think they are transgender for over 4 years.
What have I learned?
(1/n)
The rise of social media is culpable.
First Tumblr, then Instagram, then TikTok are all riddled with people pushing the idea that one can 'identify' out of one's reality. Hannah Berrelli and Shay Woulahan explain this well for @ALLIANCELGB (2/n)
Computer gaming is culpable:
Roblox, Fortnite and games your kids are playing have private chat spaces and communities where other kids promote the idea that a kid can be 'trans' (spoiler: it's only a social identity, not innate). Trans groomers exist - your kid is an 'egg'. (3)
Schools are culpable.
Those places that are supposed to act in 'loco parentis' do no such thing. Young teachers have been indoctrinated into the cult of gender ideology and they are busy converting your kids (or letting other kids do their dirty work) (4) thecritic.co.uk/are-children-b…
In UK, the National Health Service is culpable. @NHSEngland actively promotes transgenderism. The Cass review is likely just a sop, a delaying tactic, the political 'long grass'. Kids are still being maimed, single-sex wards are a myth. (5/n) thecritic.co.uk/what-the-media…
Medical schools in the UK have signed up to a pledge promoted by GLAAD to promote gender ideology to trainee doctors. Yup, that's right, doctors are trained to put gender (a nonsense) over sex (reality). (6/n) can-sg.org/2022/07/25/sho…
Child and Adolescent Health Services in UK (CAMHS) are fundamentally UNSAFE for adolescents at risk of transgender ideation. Many of them have links to dodgy 'affinity' groups like Allsorts and Mermaids. Their training is ideological. (7/n)
But all is not lost. Our institutions may be captured, but we can recapture them for truth, reason and the scientific method.
But such a victory for reality requires everyone to do their bit. Call out #GenderWooWoo wherever you see it. Be diligent and thorough. (8/n)
Through our work with families, we know that good old fashioned firm parenting works. Love, consistent boundaries and honesty. Holding the line for reality works. It would be made easier if wider society did the same.
(9/n)
2023 we can win this. Truth first. No compromise. Children next, protect them from the evil of gender ideology at all costs. Then reclaim the academy; defend free speech. Save the 'big picture' for the next generation, and the detail will follow. (10/10) petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6283…
"The new establishment Left are worried about their inability to create universal regulatory capture. If Twitter doesn’t submit, that is a big deal, and gender identity is a vital cog in a very authoritarian wheel." @msediewyatt gets it. spectator.com.au/2023/01/twitte…
Recently, I have been working with some intelligent women who knew that to get repeal of the Gender Recognition Act the timing and the wording of such a campaign was key. 🧵
At the heart of this initiative was a desire to take a niche cause and make it a universal one with mass appeal. A clever approach was needed and it would take time and care to construct it. Time, it turns out, that we did not have.
We had hoped to make progress while attention was diverted to the laudable petition from @SexMattersOrg to get a quick fix to better define the sexes (sign it if you have not done so, yet). petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6232…
Without knowing Kellie-Jay Keen, I would not have had the confidence to lead a delegation of parents and journalists into the Tavistock in September 2019. This was but one of many straws applied to the back of the GIDS camel. But it was an important one.
Thank you @StandingforXX
Somewhat incomplete minutes, but...
We told them as much in December...
Note:
The dodging of the question on #detransition
'mutual respect' refers to their cancelling our planned meeting because they did not like @OurDutyGrp media coverage.
"Comments for this article have been turned off."
So we shall just have to comment here (thread). thetimes.co.uk/article/i-tran…
This article by @meganagnew need not have been written. Describing, as it does, how a police officer's career slowed down, allegedly because of a transition to imitating the opposite sex.
Careers slow down for many. Developing a narcissistic personality disorder would do it.
Or if the story had to be told, then maybe the 'angle' needed to be different. Perhaps something along the lines of "Police colleagues angry at being forced to humour a delusion."
Shouldn't the Police be naturally averse to having a liar in their midst?
It seems that I am going to have to write an article about the dangers of putting too much store in The Cass Review and the risks of it not delivering an objective report.
Together with an outline of what factors are present that make those risks greater than they should be.
I might use this thread as both a pitch and an aide memoire.
Here is one risk factor.
This from the UK Government's press release on Banning Conversion Therapy is cause for alarm:
"The proposals will also ensure that regulated clinicians are protected and are able to continue to undertake their valuable work."
1/n...
If these protections get given to the quack doctors maiming our children, then holding them to account will become even harder than it is now.
There are endocrinologists who recommend wrong-sex hormones - who should be struck off and in prison, and not protected by law.
2/n...
There are General Practitioners who prescribe and administer wrong-sex hormones, who refer adolescents to 'gender clinics', who refer adolescents for unnecessary surgeries - who should be struck off and in prison, and not protected by law.
3/n...
The UN has been captured.
Many countries have been captured.
In those countries, often the judiciary, academia, the legislature and the executive, including the police, have been captured.
We have such a long way still to go.
How will we rid ourselves of gender ideology?
We must aim for the summit. The cult of gender which is harming our kids is promoted by the United Nations. In the UK, the @EHRC and @JulianWTO_UN and @BWoodward_UN have a duty to reject this new religion and champion facts, truth and safeguarding.
That gender theory has the approval of the United Nations means it has a veneer of respectability and credibility that it simply does not deserve. It is this unjustified perception of legitimacy that permits states to erode women's rights and sterilise adolescents.
