Tatchell on OCC JR

Older male has not the slightest inkling of what teenage girls' lives and experiences are like.

Or, he doesn't care.

He doesn't care. He falls within a specific category of gay men who despise women and would rather we didn't exist except for those occasional functions like surrogacy when we might be useful to them. It's disgusting to blame girls rather than boys and society for their embarrassment and unease at their developing bodies, and to say that it's girls who should be "challenged" about this. Anyone who had the slightest regard for girls as actual human beings would not even think such a thing.

I am sure stripping off in front of them would have completely changed their attitude

And of course would also have made you more comfortable about your body

Tatchell must be so invested in his need to remove boundaries from children that he can't see how creepy he looks to everyone who wants to protect those children.

Another reminder that 'progressive' doesn't always mean positive.

Girls (and boys, for that matter) (and women, and men) have autonomy and the right to bodily privacy, a right to dignity. They have the right to their own thoughts, responses and wants.

Is he effectively suggesting we remove the right to privacy altogether?

I remember yr6 school swimming very well indeed, the boys openly appraising the girls' breast development, without reprimand. Shouting "boobs! she's got real boobs!" at well developed girls. Trying to peer through into the girls changing room to catch a glimpse - any tiny glimpse of the girls changing.

Perhaps all this went above Tatchell's head? (All boys school??) But the answer is not to challenge the "girls' embarrassment over their bodies" - girls and women are entitled to privacy away from the male gaze. All males.

I was a late developer and remember boys jeering about my ‘fried eggs’. Of course, I am sure stripping off in front of them would have completely changed their attitude

And he thinks this is going to be solved by making them undress in front of these boys.

What a delight he is. It baffles me that Tatchell's endorsement of paedophilia has been publicly available knowledge for 20 years, and yet he continues to be fawned off by the media and by politicians. What is wrong with these people? His public humiliation can't come fast enough.

One of the corner stones of Educate and Celebrate is "When you truly love someone age doesn't matter. Whether it's a difference of 2 years or 30 years. Love is Love."

Unsurprising that a paedophile apologist (at best) is the patron, given the above.

Why is no one looking into his computer files?

It's as if he thinks girls' embarrassment about their bodies comes from themselves, rather than from having boys grab their breasts, put their hand up their skirts, make lewd comments etc.

And he thinks this is going to be solved by making them undress in front of these boys.

"we need to challenge those who feel uncomfortable, to make them feel comfortable in their own bodies, and around the bodies of others, to enable them not to feel embarrassed or threatened or ashamed".

It's as if he thinks girls' embarrassment about their bodies comes from themselves, rather than from having boys grab their breasts, put their hand up their skirts, make lewd comments etc. Not to mention grown men who proposition them in the street. What a vile old creep he is.

Tatchell can fuck right off with this. Who is letting him go into schools?

Inclusive they say? Where are the disabled team leaders, the physically scarred, the deaf, blind, those with learning disabilities...?

Why is this type of ‘inclusion’ in schools the only game in town. A more suspicious person would think...

The thing that terrifies me is how this is in plain sight & the press dont immediately tag anything he says with his statements about child abuse/sex with minors.

The idea that schools think he is a safe person makes me want to weep

Fucking nonce. How is he even allowed a platform with his track record? Have a reread of Julie Bindel's thread

Sorry but I didn’t see the memo - when was he put in charge of how girls and young women should feel? I missed that one.

Spoken like someone who has no idea what it is like to be a teenage girl.

His only goal is to get to a point where sex, and sexual acts around children are normalised.

Nonce.

Girls are the problem????!!
Sex with 9 year olds?
Girls showing their bodies to men?

Odious sleaze...

Remember he helped close down Catholic adoption agencies who were effective in placing vulnerable children in homes leaving these children to languish in care.

The Catholic agencies wouldn’t adopt to gay couples but would refer on.

Did he bother to help gay only adoption agencies so there was equality for potential gay parents instead...No.

How many potential gay parents were helped to adopt through this policy? NONE

Just closed them down instead. Children just left in care...No concern for these high marginalised children...

It really is indicative of an arrogant sense of entitlement that Tatchell reckons the problem is with girls and their desire for 'privacy.' How does he dare think anyone has to the right to invade that privacy? How does he imagine adolescent girls are going to magically attain complete confidence in their bodies in the era of Instagram? Privacy is not an unreasonable expectation. But the idea that privacy should be breached because of the aggressive demands of an influential lobby? That defines unreasonable.

" He's morphed from a passionate supporter of gay rights into sleazy, seedy old man."

He has always had both sides to him, it was nearly 40 years ago that he contributed that article to the PIE book, he claimed

"
“”I had no idea that [Middleton] was involved in paedophilia advocacy when I was asked to write my essay. [...] When I was invited to write a chapter, I was told it was a book about children's rights and asked if I could write about the age of consent. It seemed a reasonable request at the time"

Did he not read the other articles!? Did he not wonder what the initials of Betrayal Of Youth spelled out?

He said girls need to get over their embarrassment of their bodies

Yeah. Fuck that Peter. We see you, and your "sex with 9yr olds" sleaze-letter. There's a word for men like you, Peter.

If a child is confused about their 'gender' it's much more likely that they're gay than trans. Transing children means fewer gay adults. Tatchell is no longer supporting gay rights. What he's supporting now is something else entirely.
