Two more women attacked by trans activists

...

How could any sane person object to someone telling a child not to rush into something that will have lifelong repercussions?

Because that would be conversion therapy.

Oh Cis, that's awful! How could any sane person object to someone telling a child not to rush into something that will have lifelong repercussions?

I think it would better to try not to cover too many of the implications of the trans agenda in your meeting at the moment, and just focus on this child and the school.

Perhaps you could refer the Head to Robert Winston's recent warnings about the long-term effects of medical intervention, and suggest that this needs to be taken into consideration as part of the school's duty of care to the child?

Point out too that once the lawsuits start coming in, as they are surely bound to, the school could be implicated if it has encouraged children to think that there is something wrong with their healthy bodies.

Good luck!

Secret that's bloody awesome, that is.

I'd even considered trying to get hold of the PDF of the leaflet being handed out at the Anarchist's book fair, photocopying loads and loads and posting them in neighbours doors and colleagues mail boxes.

Anything to get this more attention.

Sorry, didn’t mean to add more pressure when I said check your messages! It wasn’t a command. Whenever you have time.

cis

Don’t worry. Check your messages.

You are not the only one going through this, I promise. But the tide is definitely turning.

And because of that, there are now more resources. Progress is being made.

norah I may be some time getting back to you - am on phone and can't pick up PM's for some reason self confessed technophobe. Thank you.

hipster yes you're right. I'll get it zapped.

Datun I WILL contact her but it'll have to be outside my profession. I feel rather helpless tbh. It's like being a spectator to something horrible and insidious.

Thanks everyone for the support. This board in particular is a lifeline

Yeah cis. We’ve all read it now. We can still talk about it. But it might be an idea to get just that post deleted.

Cis that's bloody awful - I'd be so tempted to point out that the counsellor is being both misogynistic and probably homophobic by insisting that any girl who does not embrace sexist stereotypes is in the wrong body.

Fucking hell, we've got past pray away the gay and now it's just a simple matter of sterilisation instead....

Cis, I’m worried that that post could make you and the child identifiable. Is it worth getting it deleted?

Can I urge you to contact Stephanie Davis Arai at transgendertrend.

She is a gender critical feminist whose primary concern is children.

She is exceptionally well versed in both the law and how schools are dealing with this. She has become increasingly concerned over the propaganda that pressure groups allow into schools.

She’s also very well-connected. And is currently making inroads.

She will have excellent advice on how to tackle this and what you can or can’t say.

CisMyArse
Not self pitying - you have every right to be stressed. Will pm you.

Bloody hell Cis that is shocking! Hope your 'meeting' goes well and they give you chance to put your views across (and take notice of those views).

The homophobic angle is brilliant. Because people do see this as a LGB issue.

Once you have been given enough time to explain that the trans-ideology suggests that homosexuality doesn’t exist, and that we each need to be attracted to one another’s gender, not sex, it often gives people pause for thought.

Follow it up with a suggestion they google the cotton ceiling and male lesbian.

Annie Yes... incredibly homophobic. This is the part that needs to be emphasised. I'll remember that next time I get myself into one of these 'discussions'.

Sorry to read of that CisMyArse (great username though). I find it quite worrying this is taking hold so much in schools, leading in my opinion to children being taught that gender is innate, so if they don't identify with the gender thrust upon them depending on their sex from an early age they don't really fit that sex. Hugely damaging and regressive, the opposite of what schools should be teaching.

And CisMyArse that sounds amazing of you, in a very difficult situation.

CisMyArse I have started leading, with people who think they are being "enlightened" and that gender-critical views are transphobic, with the homophobia angle - so much trans activism being incredibly homophobic, lesbianism derided as "vagina fetishism", regarding homosexuality as a "preference" to be got over rather than an orientation, gay conversion therapy, etc etc - because that's a pre-emptive strike against the "if you are gender-crit then you must hate LGBT+ people, you bigot!" stance. People want to be seen as progressive (and plenty want to be actually progressive) so getting this in as a first step, that they are actively enabling homophobia by promoting trans activism, seems to help.
