Absolute scenes over on Trans Aid Cymru's FB page. They posted chants for today's protest on Cardiff - usual mix of violent, puerile, omni-cause nonsense...🧵


And got significant pushback

With @MForstater's epic news, I'm in the mood to declare a win.

Last summer, my org (vol sec) hosted a Pride panel for staff featuring someone who I strongly objected to them platforming (think 'reframing trauma'). I made my views clear the senior mgmt, but it went ahead.
1/ It did lead to a couple of conversations with our EDI lead, which were frank but respectful.
As a consequence, I was allowed to preview the 'just about to be signed off' Trans Inclusion Policy, a tweak of Unison's model policy. /2

There is little excuse for this ignorance in light of the #CassReview. I can only assume they're complicit.
And when the true horror is revealed, we will hold these people accountable. More politicians not doing their job. Let's be clear, they're advocating AGAINST taking the time to get this right. They've fallen for word-games. They're refusing to look at the evidence, lest it jolts them from their belief.
They haven't read the #CassReview.
Complicit.

I've tuned into the webinar from @MerchedCymru, @LGBAllies_Cymru and @WomensRightsNet on #RSE #RSEWales

Scene being set... Huge challenges with sexual harassment in schools as per @EstynHMI report and @WelshGovernment's RSE code fails to tackle these. Stephanie Davies Arai @cwknews speaking first.
Children being exposed to porn and gender identity ideology online and in life.
Link being made between toxic messages girls receiving and deciding to opt-out of becoming women.

Merched Cymru/LGB Alliance Cymru's webinar has just started. Chair, Sarah Tanburn says this week has proven that 'no debate is over' but we're still being ignored in Wales and GC voices not included @fmwales
#CanThePlan
#SexNotGender
#DimDiolch Plan isn't fixable, says Sarah. Urges Welsh Government to start again, and be fair and transparent.
