Oh my GOD!!! I wonder whether they will have a gender critical theologian on tomorrow?

But she's said that those asking questions just didn't understand yet, so it was ok for them to ask questions to be educate. At least, that's how I understood it.

She also said her child was gender neutral, not a trans man. I assume therefore hormones and surgery won't be considered?

Yes it was peppered with woke you're a bigot don't fear what you don't understand language.

Another plus was it raised awareness of the consultation I suppose.

We need to do a mass complaining session.

It was a rabbi talking about her non-binary child (previously known as her daughter).

On the plus side she did say that people should be allowed to ask questions and disagree with changes to the GRA without being called transphobic.

Not Anne Atkins, Rabbi with a non-binary child (27 years old now).

Just listened. I am trying not to cry. So liberal, so accepting, it's all so wonderful to have a trans child.

Is that woman's child going to cut 'their' breasts off? Are 'they' going to inject themselves life long with testosterone?

Has this woman's child cut her off because trans lives are not a debate?

This was framed. We're all being framed. It's not as simple as 'my child is still beautiful no matter how they present.'

I am so so sick of this shit.

Was it Anne Atkins?

I think the general gist was ‘it is ok to debate and to be worried, but when you meet a transgender person you will realise they aren’t scary’.

The Adam and Eve bit was presumably straight out of queer theology.

kesstrel · 09/10/2018 07:54

Not sure I can bear to listen. What was said?

Only when a bloody pig joins the Red Arrows.
