Good on them and Janice shame on Belcher and Susie

I don't know how the share codes work but Andrew Gilligan has an article today in the Sunday Times reporting that the NHS gender clinic for children and teenagers has criticised Butterfly in relation to showing a suicide attempt.

He also quotes a source from the NHS clinic challenging Susie Green's and Mermaids figures on suicide risk.

There is also criticism of Mermaids by a professor of sociology at Oxford , Michael Biggs saying "it is highly irresponsible for Mermaids to mobilise these tragedies [the tiny number of actual suicides] for the purposes of their political agenda"

Look at that misogynistic prick Ally Fogg falling over his own feet in his frantic need to jump aboard that bandwagon.

This is an interesting development. I think it may be another 'own goal' by TRAs.

Janice has high-standing with many other well-known and popular journos.

Who are now coming out and standing by her. (Glad to see it, as she deserves support).

Which, whether or not they agree with her stance, is spreading the issue like wildfire to people who wouldn't otherwise have been aware of what's going on.

Though Janice's twitter feed has just given me a laugh - there's a poster with the twitter handle "Harrop ate my hamster"

A quick check of Helen C Belcher's twitter account reveals the following self description:
"Working to be the Lib Dem MP for Chippenham, Parent, Company Boss, Campaigner, Leveson Witness, ex School Governor, joint #13 on Indy #PinkList2013 (81 in '15)."

Yup, another would be lib dem MP. I recommend people go and have a look for themselves, to put this attack on Janice in its full context.

We are over due a defamation case on this.

I'm wondering if this will be it.

I see Amanda Craig and Polly Vernon are supporters.

Now im noyyed as my littleone used to say

I'm easily pleased...

But being serious i reckon i might know the 3 letter word..I'm smarter than i let on

I can say cunt if you like, Rufus m'dear, regardless of letter count.

CUNT!

No wait thats 4

lang

Is it cunt?

Sue, Janice, sue.

Just like any other abusive person-who-was-not-born-female* - these arseholes can see that they are losing control and are spinning out into more and more aggressive and ludicrous behaviour. Like all abusive relationships, the most dangerous time for a woman is when she leaves.

Utterly predictable Duluth Wheel behaviour.

• I think we all know what three letter word I mean there.

Sarahjconnor do you have a link to that ?

It's sneaky, but the only way to demonstrate they are lying is to block them first, then you can view tweets and comment.

Any trans suicide in particular

Bearing in mind that tavistoke has only reported 1

Was it that one??

Helen Belcher met regularly with BBC

Trans Media Watch have a great deal of influence.
Not just on mainstream media but also politicians.

Gulags Thank you for your kind words.

Its concerned me for a long time the impact of the tweets by some twitter TRAs. The nature of Twitter being that they are bounced about and create an impression. Its really concerning the roles that some accounts which would be seen as having credibility have been playing.

Whilst those who are blocked can come out and view contentious tweets, its impossible to engage in any meaningful way and challenge the untruths, allegations and smears. So the narrative is perpetuated, absorbed and fears are heightened.

Its so irresponsible.

OK so Helen Belcher met regularly with BBC? Is that still going on?

I know we need to keep talking to people, especially about the GRA, but their side are doing a fantastic job, on a daily basis over the last few months, of exposing just exactly what they are and how they operate. All the crowd funding we could do in the world couldn't have paid for the kind of publicity they are bringing upon themselves.

R0wantrees thanks so much for your posts here. I hadn't thought about the points you raise re blocking etc.

Thanks also for cross referring and encyclopaedic knowledge on all of this. your posts are always enlightening !

Oh, they are showing everyone what a bunch of manipulative bullies they are all by themselves.
