We did a FOI in Nov 2023 of @SandyfordNHSGGC Which is at odds with their statement today asked about prescribing
They "assess and diagnose gender incongruence They are not the main prescribers of gender affirming hormone treatment"
We don't generate prescriptions in our system"
How can you stop something you are not doing?
So who are the main prescribers and where is their statement?

We welcome the final report of the Cass Review and are pleased that children and young people in England will be protected to a large extent from the dangers of gender ideology & gender affirming care cass.independent-review.uk/home/publicati…
The CASS Review is very clear that children should not be rushed onto a medical pathway & a holistic evidence based approach to their needs including mental health needs is required Children who think they are trans have a range of issues which affects their mental health
A thread🧵
In August 21 our member @MaryHowden before she joined WRN SCOTLAND coordinated a letter signed by 310 people to complain about the CEO Mridul Whadwa The letter was sent to the Chief Executive of Rape Crisis Sandy Brindley & the Trustees of Edinburgh Rape crisis Centre
🧵Reflection on #ElectHer event @ScotParl yesterday. The principles around supporting women into politics are great We support that 💯% we need more women in parliament. But ElectHer isn't just focusing on women it also includes men who identify as women
There were men there yesterday using our words, our toilets, feeding back in groups for us, promoted in videos & using resources that should only be for women
Many women who hold gender critical beliefs which are enshrined in law (Forstater) and worthy of respect in a democratic society were ignored through out the event Women were expected to accept these men as women and nothing was said about it
Yesterday we sent a letter to @CareInspect about Guidance on the inclusion of transgender including non-binary young people careinspectorate.com/images/documen…
Here is what we had to say a🧵
We believe it presents a serious risk to the wellbeing of vulnerable children & young people & have requested its immediate withdrawal.
We identified the following 1. Concerns about LGBT Youth Scotland
2 Lack of Safeguarding
3 Breaches of the Health & Social Care Standards
LGBT Youth Scotland are currently being investigated by @PoliceScotland for grooming and historical abuse
A complaint was made by @sos_scotland to @ScotCharityReg for practices which breached safeguarding & were subsequently given advice by OSCR
