RollOnFriday is a satirical online magazine for solicitors.
Dentons is a very very large law firm (but I'm not impressed because I remember them when they were merely Denton Hall....)
I commend this article from RollOnFriday to you:
www.rollonfriday.com/news-content/dentons-campaigns-kids-switch-gender-without-parental-approval
and I see RollOnFriday also reported this:
www.rollonfriday.com/news-content/lesbian-barrister-investigated-setting-lgb-group
You will like this extract:
"Critics of gender self-ID have warned that it will adversely impact women and children in many areas, including rape crisis centres, single-sex hospital wards, women’s sport and identification of discrimination. Dentons' 65-page report characterises their position in two sentences, as concerns which "normally come from women’s groups" about "female prisoners and female public toilets".
Dentons' report also describes critics of gender self-ID as 'TERFs', which began as an acronym for "trans-exclusionary radical feminists" and is understood by many of its targets as a misogynist slur.
When it was asked to comment on aspects of its report, Dentons initially offered up Atanas Politov, its Director for Pro Bono, for an interview. Then it asked for written questions in advance. When these were provided, the world's largest firm by headcount was unable to find anyone prepared to answer them, and gave a general statement instead."
My own position is that hormonal or surgical intervention on a 12 year old is prima facie child abuse and so I'm very surprised that Dentons published such a report.
