Hands up those who have had apologies for telling the truth about puberty blockers and transing children and lost their jobs for pointing out the truth!
Anyone? Or is it easier to get blood out of a stone than waiting for the apologies? For every person who stood up for children and against puberty blockers and lost their livelihoods, they deserve at least an apology. They deserve more than that. But an apology to start

I'm sitting in bed with Zena covered in her little blanket, watching a series about the Tudors, and it struck me that I don't care what pronouns are used for me!
Things like that have never bothered me. Never. I'm just Toni. A trainee psychologist who works with children and adults with limited/different abilities(which I love doing), that happens to be a transsexual!
Again, being transsexual is only a small part of who and what I am. It's not the whole of my life

In the light of the vote at Hollyrood yesterday regarding letting children at the age of 16 being able to change their birth certificate to their chosen sex without parental consrbty, I would like to point out what it means to do this It means as soon as you receive your ammended birth certificate, you are no longer, by law, trans.
You are now either male or female. The opposite sex from your birth sex.

I've decided to go to bed early this evening. Aching all over. Don't know if it's because of the fall I had yesterday or that I am ill with a heavy cold. Or a combination of both. So I'm lying here watching Frank Herbert's "Children Of Dune" miniseries (for the umpteenth time) and thinking about what the Scottish parliament have done over the last couple of days.

Took Zena out this morning and the combination of her pulling me and my tripping over my own feet I went flying head first! Thankfully I didn't bang my head as I had my hands out! Not the most dignified I've ever been!

Again I'm seeing "amab/afab" and "born in the wrong body"!

Our sex isn't assigned at birth. It's observed either in utero or after the birth. Gender is assigned to us or we now assign our own gender! We're not born in the wrong body. None of us are. We still have the same body as we had before transition. The surgery only changes a part of your body. It doesn't take your brain and your soul and pop it into a brand new body!

Every time there's a comment that's anti Semitic, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, misandry, etc, people are in an uproar (rightly so) straight away.
Adidas dropped Kanye West within 48 hrs after his anti Semitic post. Rightly so But where's the uproar from the people who followed Mermaids and never questioned their motives?
Where's the uproar from the famous people who are into Balenciaga?

Just put the news on and it's full of death and destruction of one form or another. It's really sad to hear the many innocent people and children that have died because of it all. Then I read about the way @CF_Farrow was treated by the police for posting biological facts online. She was arrested in front of her children and treated as it she'd been accused of murder! Yet if you call the police about destruction of property they're not interested

I've been absent from Twitter over the last few weeks but I'm fine.
I needed to take a step back from most things in my life in order to get to know myself again!
As they say "not dead yet"!😅 It's been a time of re navigating the world around me again.

I know that I don't have an official diagnosis of autism even though friends who are qualified to work with autistic people tell me I'm autistic, it has been a questioning my life moments lately!

Why did no one listen to the concerns over Mermaids?
Why did prominent MPs turn a blind eye to Mermaids?
Why did well known actors ignore all the red flags?
1/17 What's going to happen to children who are questioning their identity now?
Mermaids overstepped the mark to put it mildly.
Their actions will have major consequences
Every trustee and every member of Mermaids need to be investigated fully.
