Media: Excludes trans people,

EHRC: Excludes trans people,

Cass Review: Excludes trans people,

Labour Policymaking: Excludes trans people,

Appleby Review: Excludes trans people,

Streeting & Starmer: Refuses to talk to trans people,

1.
…The British Establishment has consistently and persistently excluded trans people from any decision-making about trans people, and, in line with that @wesstreeting & @Keir_Starmer are excluding trans kids from talking about legislation that is about trans kids…

2.
@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer …The problem here is the British Establishment, and in particular that part of it represented by @wesstreeting, which promotes and includes trans people within its operational sphere while excluding trans people.

3. Image
@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer Meanwhile the Cass Review has two published, peer-reviewed papers critiquing it, plus another only needing reformatting and one more in peer-review.

And that is in addition to being rejected by all bona fide medical authorities worldwide…

4.
@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer The UK Establishment’s almost religious adherence to Cass in the face of total global rejection& academic criticism is about its own exclusion of trans people from policymaking & “debates” about trans people, something it has done for so long people…

5.
@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer …(including @wesstreeting & @Keir_Starmer) do not notice it is happening.

Trans exclusion has become so normalised people don’t notice when they are doing it.

Now we have the ridiculous situation where Starmer & Streeting are producing deadly harmful legislation…

6.
@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer …about young trans people while refusing to talk to young trans people about it.

Labour were happy to talk to JK Rowling and the transphobic hate group LGB Alliance, however.
@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer PS; the demands of the young trans people who occupied a ledge on the NHS England building for three days… Image

THREAD:

@WesStreeting's predecessors implemented a policy resulting in the deaths of at least 16 trans children by suicide.

From Matt Hancock to Victoria Atkins at least the Tory health secretaries could plausibly claim that they did not...

1.

...know this would be the outcome, despite people like myself (who is a qualified & published and peer-reviewed expert in this area) and parents of trans children warning very clearly that the puberty blockers ban would kill trans children. This time @WesStreeting cannot...

2.
...claim such plausible deniability. The Tories knew what they were doing and indeed claimed responsibility for packing the NHS and civil service with transphobic individuals who would implement their anti-trans policies, however they can still claim that they did not know...

THREAD: In the aftermath of the election it is too easy to underestimate the implications from the catastrophic loss by the “Party Of Women”, which crashed to the most spectacular of defeats, despite being given a fair wind by our biased media.

1. Image
In effect what Posie Parker set up was a real life experiment to test the theory that “gender-critical” practices represent “women”.

This is something we have heard from JK Rowling and most of the mainstream media; the idea that “gender-critical” practices represent…

2.
… “women”. By creating a political party to stand entirely on an explicitly anti-trans platform, this theory was tested to destruction by Parker’s project.

And the only conclusion that can possibly be drawn from it is that anti-trans beliefs simply do not represent…

THREAD; 🧵

The key dishonesty with everything every “gender-critical”/”sex-realist”/”biology matters” anti-trans activist says about trans people’s human rights is the supposed “conflict of rights with the rights of cls women...

1.
In fact there is zero evidence that cls women are disadvantaged in any way by trans people having human rights, & a very significant body of evidence to the contrary. First up is the list of countries & federal states where trans people have the right to self-identification.

2.
There are 21 countries, plus the majority of states in Mexico, including Mexico City and Estadio de Mexico, 21 US states including California, Illinois and New York, lots of Canadian provinces like Quebec and Australian states like Victoria and Tasmania...

I have now heard of four instances where a trans woman has used a male toilet, at least one of them by accident, others because they were compelled to.

In all four cases they were brutally assaulted.

This is why the “gender-criticals” want to force trans people…

1.
…to use the toilets that correspond to their “biological sex”, not because they believe in “the importance of biological sex” but because they want to subject trans people to violence and to make life impossible for us.

So their claim that their rhetoric constitutes an…

2.
…”ideology” is a lie. It is a pretext for violence and proxy-violence.

There is no such thing as a “gender-critical ideology” only weaponised rhetoric. “Gender-critical” activism is not an ideology, it is a *practice* at best, a practice that deploys rhetoric…

My peer-reviewed research publication on what I call “deferral” confirms how trans kids have usually known, in one way or another, for a long time, that they are trans.

Like Hollyoaks it shows that “ROGD” is, and always has been, just a lie.

1.

academia.edu/resource/work/…
My research publication on deferral is all the more significant because it was independently replicated by another piece of research published 7 months later, which also confirmed that young trans people usually do not “suddenly” become trans…

…it is also significant that the research of Clarke & Virani (2021), also published a few months after my deferral paper, confirms that not only do young trans people take their time to think & research carefully before coming out as trans…

The result in the Hackney council by-election in Caznove ward is significant & significantly revealing for a number of reasons.

Given the enormous swing to Labour nationally; a poll published on the day this by-election took place put @UKLabour 27 points ahead...

... and the Tories down to just 20%, @HackneyLabour should have held onto this seat easily and with a greatly increased majority.

Instead Labour lost the seat to the Tories on an 11% swing AGAINST the national trend...

One of the main features of this campaign was the @UKLabour candidate's "gender-critical" views, which need to be regarded as central to this astonishing defeat. There was obviously a last-minute campaign by local LGBTQ+ people and allies to draw voters' attention to ...
