1/6 At Welsh Labour Conference this weekend GC women handed out leaflets, including Labour LGB and Lesbian Labour ones. Jane Hutt, Chief Whip/Justice Secretary complained about the T being left off the Labour LGB leaflet and told us that there's no LGB without the T and TWAW.
2/6 When asked about the SC ruling and Welsh gov's failure to implement it, Julie James MS/ General Counsel, said that more guidance was needed from the EHRC and repeated this, despite being told there's there's nothing new to implement, just the original law passed in 2010.
3/6 At the launch of a new Charter for Women all the speakers (Nia Griffith MP, Jane Hutt MS, Julie Morgan MS, Joyce Watson MS, and Jo Galazka, Unite) were women who include men as women. At question time they ignored GC women with their hands up. No difficult questions allowed.
4/6 Jo Galazka, Regional Women and Equalities Officer for Unite - a straight woman - told lesbians that transpeople threw the first stone at Stonewall, said TWAW and that lesbians had nothing to fear from self ID and didn't know what they were talking about.

1/  The NHS has released interim plans for blocking puberty in children & adolescents with “gender incongruence/dysphoria”. Some are celebrating this policy, thinking it recommends caution. A closer look reveals it’s actually a commitment to experimental gender medicine for kids. Image
2/  The plan is supported by an equality impact assessment revealing multiple loopholes that make high numbers of kids eligible for blockers. It also lacks clarity in its definitions of the “gender” conditions for which blockers will be prescribed off-label.
3/ The plan is sexist and deeply regressive, indicating it’s all about medicalising children who don’t adhere to sexist stereotypes. The NHS has decided that this is identifiable even in toddlers. Image

🧵1/ Has the National Union of Journalists given up on free speech?

Not only has it rejected calls to support members writing on gender & sex from diverse perspectives, but it wants to make journalists personally responsible for their publications’ editorial positions. A thread. Image
2/ The NUJ voted 62 to 28 to reject a call for it to support journalists’ right to cover “the debate on sex & gender” and to state that “journalists should not suffer professionally for doing so if they have acted responsibly and according to the Code of Conduct”. Image
3/ Meanwhile the NUJ’s own reporting guidelines call for journalists to have a right of veto over what their papers publish, in the form of a contractual “conscience clause” that would mean reporters can refuse to work on stories they personally don’t agree with. Image

1/ Safe Schools Alliance released a harrowing report this week, evidencing ideological links between UNESCO’s and WHO’s international standards for “sexuality education” and the ideas promoted by the 1970s pro-paedophilia lobby group Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). ImageImage
2/ Pressure group PIE tried to influence UK politicians in the 1970s to legalise sex with children.

Similarly, UNESCO and WHO are now arguing for the existence of “childhood sexuality” and are claiming that children are “sexual beings”. Image
3/ Educational requirements in the UNESCO and WHO standards include introducing preschoolers to the idea of masturbation.

Gender ideology is embedded too, including promoting medical & surgical bodily “modification”.

And equality of the sexes is replaced by gender equality. Image

1/ Wales’ government has made an LGBTQ+ Action Plan to inform all policy areas.

It’s riven with ideology & terminology that erases women & same-sex attraction. It pays safeguarding little heed.

And it was written by a biased panel, compounded by failure to consult properly. ImageImageImageImage
2/ Ideology is the blatant starting point of the LGBTQ+ Action Plan.

It states baldly: “The Welsh government’s position is clear: Trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary identities are valid.”

How can such a disputed, evidence-free claim be a basis for policy? Image
3/ What about women’s fears that gender self-ID puts them at risk?

Wales’ LGBTQ+ Action Plan simply dismisses them.

But then, as key women’s groups weren’t consulted, how could the plan’s drafters possibly understand their perspective?

The plan barely even mentions women. ImageImage
