AIBU to think public racist / anti immigrant / anti trans posts can justify dismissal?

I have neither 'abused' or 'attacked' you. Goodness. Such hyperbole in response to a mild difference of opinion. It's like arguing with a TRA.
My post was my rebuttal.
You told me I should tell other left wing people off for giving me a bad name. I was merely asking if you practice what you preach.
I couldn't care less what your religion or politics are. I was referring to your sex realist views, which i share, and the way GC women are maligned because far right extremists have aligned with these views.
I thought it might strike a chord and encourage you to see your error in seeing all left wing people as a homogenous enemy. But no. You wade back in to fling more insults at me, as representative of your imaginary monster: The Left.

Its worse than that the gender idealogs actively targeted vulnerable asd kids by telling them that transitioning would cure their autism

I personally think that all religions are dangerous in different ways and to different extents.
You say that you have a problem with agents of the state having strong views does that include gender ideology? And how do you feel about state agencies promoting a harmful and contested ideology?
Oh and you do realise that gender ideology has never been tested in law.or put to the grainger test so until it is its not necessarily a protected belief under the equality act. Its also highly unlikely that gender ideology would pass any part of the grainger test and would most likely be ruled NWORIDS.

Try a new one as I've been getting called a Nazi, terf, bigot, racist and all the rest by the left wing and its water off a ducks back, though I am pissed off that my check from the American fundamental Christian right still hasn't arrived.
I'm a centerist and an atheist so your typical left wing attacks are pointless, however they do show the exact behaviour that I was describing perfectly and shows your hypocrisy.
If you have an actual rebuttal of any of my points im more than willing to discuss them with you but all you seem to have is attacks and abuse much like many on the left

Well of course its important. If you work at the local butchers I dont think the opinion is as valid as if you work in that field. You do so we can have a more interesting discussion. Before that though, thank you for everything you do. That is a tough area to be in, but so needed. I actually did some similar work in charities around this and I found it very rewarding but very very challenging.

As for you stating it was clear enough - it wasn't to me. Maybe Im being a bit thick, but Im quite academic so I dont think so. I wasn't being facetious I genuinely would like to know your perspective - especially given the field you work in. I am always open to learning and improving my own practice.

So when you say you work with abused women, is that after the event/during and then providing support? My role in child protection is to investigate if something like that is happening. By the time its got to me someone has raised the alarm for some reason and so when it gets to me I was to decide if there was anything to worry about. So for example the red flag in the referral could be:

• an adolescent girl being withdrawn from school,
• talk of an overseas trip,
• increasing restrictions on friendships,
• fear of bringing shame on the family,
• threats if she refuses a marriage,
• a mother who has undergone FGM

Im not walking around judging random muslim families that i meet in daily life. Im sent referrals about concerns for children, and the background of every child matters in the assessment - how could it not?

NOBODY should be bringing their prejudices to work if they are in a state sponsored role with power over people. They should work on facts, and evidence and if they are unable to do that, they should stand aside

I couldn't agree more, @Switchnow, but good luck with that when far too many places of employment are infested with their preferred ideologies

We all have private lives and issues we care about, but the problems start when some try to impose them on others, insisting they should care equally about whatever it is and that they're (insert insult of choice) if they don't

Why can’t a social worker openly describe herself as a TERF on her social media? It’s shorthand for “feminist who centres women and girls’ sex based rights”. It’s a reclaimed slur.

Gender critical feminism is a belief protected by the Equality Act 2010, see the many cases which have found in our favour.

??

I was clear enough, I can’t be bothered to explain it again.

Not sure why it’s so important to you what my job is - presumably so you can decide whether to disregard what I’m saying. I work with women and children affected by domestic abuse, including honour based abuse.

I guess the anti-semitic teachers and doctors didn't get the memo.

No, 'Dude, look it up yourself! Im not spending an evening giving you my masters social work course reference list'.

But whatever, you aren't paying me - think what you like.

Well done, that’s amazing and it’s brave of you to have done that.

And I explained that rightly or wrongly they saw it differently and they thought the cancellers were getting a taste of their own medicine. The fact that you can’t even see it speaks to your own bias. Those people thought they were hypocrites and they thought the same about them.

Ah ok.

Got it.

I am not talking about left and right. That’s your tribalism not mine.

I am talking about faux free speech advocates who quickly forget their principles when it’s speech they dislike.

Haha.. Yeah you can look that up yourself. Im not a library or uni course lecturer!

All of it.

It is nonsense - because there are numerous examples of it (like people lamenting the UK punishing people for social media posts while applauding Trump preventing entry to the USA for people who may have spoken negatively about him online.)

There is a way to remain steadfast to free speech principles while also say that people should use the Charlie Kirk firing lessons as to why free speech important for all.

But that’s not what happened. Many people were defending CK sackings, not due to schadenfraude but simply because it was a way of people demonstrating freedom of expression in a way they were not comfortable with.

Which bit? If its the latter, I wrote my thesis on it, based my independent SW business on it, and wrote a book on it. So I have a LOT of references on it. I also base my practice on the fact that autistic girls are heavily and negatively influenced by GI and so I avoid servicing those service users. I advocate for them in others ways, through my activism, not my SW business practice.

I know you obviously think you’re right and everyone else you disagree with is wrong, but so do they 🤷‍♀️ everyone does.

The left were the ones who said there was no such thing as cancel culture. And I can tell you that phrase was bandied about on Twitter with great glee when people were sanctioned by their employers for comments about CK.

It isn’t nonsense, you just can’t see it from their perspective. I’m not saying they were right, but it’s why they thought turnabout was fair play.

The way many people on the right saw it is that people who would have been baying for them to lose their jobs for a range of spicy comments,

But that’s nonsense and we all know it. What it showed is despite their claims to the contrary what free speech advocates actually mean speech the agree with should be free. And this has always been the case. They have never been fierce proponents of free speech.

I think you can look at it both ways, and it’s why this sort of tribalism isn’t helpful (not you personally, tribalism as described in general). The way many people on the right saw it is that people who would have been baying for them to lose their jobs for a range of spicy comments, got a taste of their own medicine. And in many cases it was disproportionate, like Forstater, Meade, Higgs were. I admit to a wry smile at the schadenfreude of the cancellers getting cancelled myself at the time.

The them and us mentality isn’t helpful, and I’m certainly not immune to it, but I try to refrain.
