Victoria Atkins

Read some interesting comments in this mail piece from this MP. Is the tide actually turning?

(And yes, I read the mail, and many other news outlets with the view that the truth can be found somewhere in the middle!)

I hardly dare hope - but yes, I think the tide may be slowing turning.

The massive increase in children transitioning, plus the influence of social media , I think, was alway the thing going to be the thing that caused the tide to turn.

Another thread on this - it's been covered by the Telegraph too.

Had a quick look and didn't spot that one. My telegraph subscription ran out!

I'm getting quite excited about the coverage and how people are becoming more critical of the agenda.

It's good news - I'm still concerned about the huge amount of influence trans-activist groups seem to have - but it's positive that Ministers are starting to speak up.

It's been posted elsewhere but here is her email address if you can find 5 minutes to write to her in support of what she is saying

This is an interesting thread, about the influence of sites like Tumblr on young people transitioning.

Combine that with the push for no-questions-asked affirmation, and you get what we've got now. An explosion of young people demanding puberty blockers, gender clinic appointments etc - and people too afraid to say "No".
