When is the govt going to close the loophole that lets GenderGP operate here?
Mother of 10-yr-old wants puberty blockers for her daughter who 'came out' at five. 1/
gendergp.com/fighting-for-c… Every red flag is here. Sex stereotypes used to understand children, separated parents who don't agree on this, ADHD diagnosis, anxiety. This child needs good neutral investigative therapy. Refer'd to the Tavi 4 yrs ago, where caution was advised. 2/

It's not just the 'born in the wrong body' narrative that's the problem.
Here are some more examples of harmful ideology aimed at children.

THREAD From Stonewall's primary school curriculum for children aged 4 and up:
"make your PSHE sessions trans inclusive by referring to 'most girls' or 'most boys' when learning about body parts and puberty." 2/

Latest guidance from the DfE on RSE teaching. This is a major step forward in ensuring that 'gender identity' is not taught in schools and that organisations promoting the idea are not invited into classrooms. Glad to see the DfE reinforcing the idea that teachers must not go behind parents' backs if a pupil expresses gender discomfort. No more trans affirmation and changing names etc without involving parents.

The Manchester based LGBT charity, The Proud Trust, was given £100,00 from the Tampon Tax Fund to work with disadvantaged lesbian & bisexual women. The project was based on their Sexuality aGender toolkit, aimed at all young people from 13 up. 1/ The toolkit features the "Dice Game". 2 dice are rolled and young people are asked to describe the sexual activity which happens when the two body parts named on the dice face upwards. This is a template to make your own dice. 2/

Read how the Proud Trust uses money from the Tampon Tax Fund to promote its sex health toolkit, Sexuality aGender.
This guide includes gratuitous images of the most extreme form of FGM (stage 3) as part of their belief in "genital variation"
transgendertrend.com/proud-trust-no… I have described but not included the images as they as voyeuristic and upsetting. Why is this guide marketed as something for 13-yr-olds? FGM is a criminal assault on girls, not a different type of vulva.

Policy capture with added boasting.
"The National LGB&T Partnership has established a close working relationship with the National LGBT Health Adviser, Dr Michael Brady. We meet with Dr Brady and his team regularly..." 1/4 ".. and act as a conduit for the relationship between Dr Brady’s Office (and by extension NHSE) and the LGBT+ VCSE Sector. We organise and arrange engagement events of various formats and sizes between the sector and Dr Brady’s Office," 2/4

This is important. The Scottish government wants to lower the age at which you can legally change sex from 18 to 16.
They are consulting on it now and the deadline is March 17th. This simple guide shows the problems with this proposal

transgendertrend.com/scottish-gende… The Scot Gov also wants to remove all gatekeeping and to allow anyone who says they want to change sex to do so - no questions asked. This has serious consequences for women's single sex spaces and rights.

So so true

A handy guide from the BBC to the election. Part of a series. Clearly not checked by any fact checker at the BBC
bbc.co.uk/news/av/electi… We are told the 3 issues are
1 LGBT inclusive education – Our guide BBC video journalist Tobias Chapple says “check out if your candidate talks about a parent’s right to choose – this could be code for saying I don’t suppose LGBT inclusive education”.

Following an excellent meeting in the Lords today where we discussed the importance of keeping single sex hospital wards, a few of us went to pay our respects to Millicent Fawcett. (Sorry this is mostly pic of my forehead) Many thanks to Baroness Nicholson and @NinaKillen for organising today's meeting. Single sex spaces in hospitals are essential for privacy dignity and better recovery rates

I went to the BBC today for the afternoon session of a day of talks to launch the BBC's Top 100 Women of 2019. I nearly didn't make it as what I thought was my ticket wasn't a ticket but merely a promise that I might get a ticket.
Always read the small print/1
#100Women Someone thought I might be on the VIP list (please don't) and I was ushered in. The VIP people checked, no, not on the list, but you can go in anyway. So I got a silver armband not a plebby sticker and got to sit at the front.
This was all a mixup not a conspiracy/2

@BBCNews There are multiple problems with the quality of journalism in this piece by Ben Hunte, your newly appointed LGBT correspondent.
BBC News - Munroe Bergdorf: NSPCC cuts ties with transgender activist bbc.com/news/uk-485729… 1/ Sources. Hunte claims that the NSPCC has received "transphobic letters". Who says this? The NSPCC has not commented ATOW so how do we know this is true?
