Transgender Trend Crowdfunder suspended

Is Fox an alter ego of mimmymum? 🤔
The head of GIDS hasn’t criticised the Schools pack, in fact she mentioned it at conference didn’t she?
if anyone is qualified to have an opinion, it’s them.

(extract from James Kirkup article)
"As it happens, Dr Carmichael in her lecture said some things that seem relevant here:

“Gender has become amazingly topical and we have to be really careful not to assume that anyone is exploring or questioning their gender is going to want to change their bodies in line with that. The extremes on either side are not helpful. We need to look at the grey areas in between. To do that we need to be able to talk and discuss these issues. All too often stakeholders become lobby groups.”

** Polly Carmichael is head of Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) of the Tavistock and Portman Trust, which is the NHS centre of excellence for helping children and adolescents with gender dsyphoria and other issues of gender-variance."

I’m not sure I’d trust a crowdfunder.

I mean, there you could be, donating to someone’s legal fees or fines or reassignment ops, thinking you’re helping the trans cause, and all the time it’s really a front for WPUK or someone like that and you’d never know, would you?

If that academics letter to Bristol University is anything to go by, you’d never even check either!

Having an opinion that does not agree witth Mermaids in not hate.

Are we not allowed to speak about this?

If TGT is not allowed to talk to schools then surely neither should Mermaids... for exactly the same reasons! Will nobody think of thechildren!!??

If hate = protecting vulnerable children from the trans cult who will encourage them to cut bits off their healthy bodies, lie to them that they can actually become the opposite sex, and leave them sterile, then I’m OK with hate.

Glad this has been suspended, it's just full of hate. It's not supporting trans youth at all. It's against them. With a few things being mentioned like it blaming internet use and “social contagion” for “glamorising medical transition” and causing “rapid-onset gender dysphoria” in children.

Recent Guardian Article:
"Schools pulled into row over helping transgender children
As more teens come out as trans, experts clash over how schools should help"
(extract)
"Profound disagreement has arisen about what schools should do. Should they, in the words of a widely used toolkit from the Allsorts Youth Project in Brighton, “make visible and celebrate trans people”? Or take the “watchful waiting” approach advocated by the Transgender Trend pack, which warns schools to be “aware of the risk of ‘social contagion’ from celebrity trans internet vloggers who glamorise medical transition”?

Stephanie Davies-Arai, a parenting adviser, launched the Transgender Trend resource pack in February half-term, thinking it would barely get noticed. Instead, she says: “It just blew up”. The LGBT lobby group Stonewall accused Transgender Trend, the organisation Davies-Arai set up two-and-a-half years ago, of spreading “damaging myths, panic and confusion”, and advised local authorities not to use the pack. On Twitter, people piled in, with one describing the pack (which had been checked by lawyers) as a “modern edition of Mein Kampf”.

I think the comments are worth reading for a range of opinions

What these vile men and their pathetic female allies do not understand is IT DOES NOT MATTER how hard they try to stop us. They can get us banned, censored, suspend our fundraisers, threaten us, it will never, ever stop us.

And they’re also too thick to realise that their tactics create new allies for us, as people see their bullying tactics and realise the truth. These aren’t poor, oppressed, marginalised women. They are nasty, bullying misogynists.

I've donated directly, and I've doubled what I originally intended to give. In your face trans activists.

CANT BEAR BULLIES...have made a direct donation, and complained.

Yep Cluster B tactics again - destroying someone's reputation and livelihood by weaponising the complaints systems of social media platforms to "murder by proxy" - like the family court all over again. These are the guys who need limits setting on them - they are so disordered - no conscience nor empathy.

Oops, don't know where 'decided' came from. I have actually donated.

I have decided donated directly. I hadn't got round to doing it on the crowdfunder but this galvanised me.
Nolite te bastardes carborundum...

for fucks sake. I can't afford to donate twice but if I get refunded I shall donate via the website, thanks for the link.

Hello

I understand that you have suspended this crowed funder which I have contributed to, due to an unprecedented number of complaints.

Please note that the aim of this crowdfunder is simply to fund producing printed copies of information for schools to help them support gender non conforming children and trans children alongside all other pupils. It has been produced in consultation with teachers, child protection and welfare professionals and lawyers.
It would be very sad if you allowed the extreme activism of a small minority to stand in the way of fund raising for this excellent cause.

Regards

ReluctantCamper

Thanks for the heads up - I've donated direct

What ever happened to the crowd fund Jennifer James set up?

I've donated directly. Used PayPal. Don't crowdfunding pages take a cut anyway??

AH! Invalid Thank you! Just what I came here to ask about.

www.transgendertrend.com

There’s a donate button on that page ^
Don’t let the bastards grind them down.

Will those who have donated get a refund?

I think Transgender Trend need to start taking some legal action re this stuff. Will definately contibute to that

You can donate directly via their homepage.

I'm probably being unrealistic, but I hope that crowdfunder UK actually read the transgender Trend stuff, and decide to reinstate the crowdfunder

Pink News:
'Trans campaigners slam ‘deeply transphobic’ school resources Crowdfunder'
(extract)
"Trans rights campaigners have rebuked a “deeply transphobic” Crowdfunder page set up by a group of parents concerned by “the current trend to diagnose ‘gender non-conforming’ children as transgender.”

The activists are calling on the Department of Education to condemn the fundraising page, which is raising money towards providing schools with hard copies of so-called “Transgender Trend” resource packs and guidance on the subject." (continues)
