We thought we were beyond being shocked, but this document from @CareInspect is possibly the most willfully dangerous & wickedly irresponsible we have ever seen.
This morning, the chair of @scotbioethics wrote that children were being betrayed by being pushed onto a pathway of medication many would come to regret. He highlighted that depression, past trauma and family breakdown are common. #Safeguardingfail thetimes.co.uk/article/7e4af0…
Responsible people, like Dr Latham and Hilary Cass, see these as warning signs & urge caution. @CareInspect, however, breezily recommend the "medical" route on offer at the Sandyford for children as young as 12 & shill for irreversible surgery on young, healthy bodies.
The Sandyford is still gung-ho about using methods condemned in the Cass Review. Throughout Europe, countries are rowing back hard as the disastrous health implications become apparent. Continuing to hurt children is an odd sort of Scottish exceptionalism segm.org/Sweden_ends_us…
But even odder and more horrific is when this sort of damage is not only winked at, but actively encouraged by people with a duty NOT to exploit or abuse children. @CareInspect also lie about the law: single-sex facilities in school are not due to mere "social convention".
It isn't hard to see who wrote the report: LGBTYS (@mhairicrawford) who recently referred themselves to the police for allegations that staff preyed upon vulnerable children. Exactly the sort of children @CareInspect should protect. #Safeguardingfail
At some point there will be law suits. All those who failed children, incl Ministers of state, rogue medics @NHSScotland & @scotgov funded orgs, will be in the dock, and they will be answerable for the harms they have done. It looks like @CareInspect will be there with them.

This woman is one of the Staff Pride Network at @EdinburghUni (she claims to be "queer") who hired Tom to sing off-key and shout abuse at women. Since then, Tom has hounded venues, stalked women & sneered at working class towns. He hasn't suffered "attacks" for anything other… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
For those unfamiliar with Dr Baines... in 2019, having targeted a women's festival, she defended the decision to house paedophile Dolatowski in a women's shelter & threatened to report anyone "misgendering" the violent child abuser to Twitter. forwomen.scot/27/02/2019/sex…
She co-authored a fact-free paper of dubious academic merit with Harry "Josie" Giles (instrumental during the hounding of Jenny Lindsay), Sharon Cowan, & former STA manager Kaufmann.
Maybe Tom is being likened to a stalker because he IS behaving like a one He is deliberately trying to make women's lives miserable & encouraging those who wish them harm to gather outside venues.
He claims not to support violence, but has no objection to demonising women, lying about them & yelling abuse (esp at old or working class women).
It's ironic he thinks @msjlindsay must have been targeted by someone "straight & cis" when the campaign against her is well documented & led by men with special identities.
Tom is clearly upset - hence the lengthy rambling thread! Maybe he could think how his targets feel?
So @KeithBrownSNP trusts the SPS & their track record. Let's examine it!
At the last count there were 16 trans prisoners in Scotland with 5 (males) in female jails. Since then, two more have been placed in the women's estate. heraldscotland.com/politics/23276…
Half of these prisoners only started to "transition" after they were convicted, which one might think would raise alarms. But, of course, proponents of self ID tell us people know who they are and they would never lie. backintosociety.co.uk/2022/10/06/hal…
Today, @SP_EHRCJ will hear evidence from Victor Madrigal (again). Their role is supposedly over, so we would hope they'd allow all MSPs to ask the questions they, with honourable exceptions (@PamGosalMSP@Rachael2Win) will no doubt fail to do (we expect Joe to block other MSPs)🧵
There will be (again) a huge elephant in the committee room - namely that Mr Madrigal's views, beyond self ID, sit uncomfortably with the stated position of @scotgov on women's rights.
(as an aside, one might have thought that a "feminist" FM would be keen to press on with this, especially as she really could cite "international best practice". Considering the real harms to women, where is the urgency here? Instead, she dropped this from PFG at behest of SGP)
