Tatchell had a lot to say about the Oxfordshire JR on RT news yesterday and this is the safe schools alliance response to him. He said girls need to get over their embarrassment of their bodies and that big money from anti trans groups was funding the JR.

He has views about sex ed as well - demanding that teachers should teach children classes about sexual feelings in compulsory mixed sex groups. He is absolutely determined to ensure that unwilling girls are forced into vulnerable situations with boys and men. Grim.

He reckons old gits should fuck nine-year olds.

Why are trans people allowed to feel so uncomfortable with their bodies
that they're given whatever they want but teenage girls are told to just get over it and shouldn't even have the most basic privacy

Tatchell said that "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".

This is just such an awful statement to make about girls' needs for boundaries and yes Caroline was absolutely spot on when she described this as grooming.

The response by Safe Schools Alliance is also spot on.

Tatchell appears to want everything to be mixed sex, because since girls can be uncomfortable about removing their clothes in front of other girls they should be encouraged to undress in front of boys as well. I don't quite follow his logic there.

Right at the end of the clip he said it's all about children being comfortable in their own bodies. I thought the usual TRA line was that if a child was uncomfortable with their body they should go down the hormones and surgery route.

Tatchell is a man who thinks children can have consensual, fulfilling sexual relationships.

He’s repulsive.

@Absolutepowercorrupts I totally agree. I watched it and was disgusted by him. He definitely has a very questionable agenda. It's oozing out of him. Why are so few seeing it? And my god, why is he being allowed anywhere near school children?? I don't get it. He's a creepy, ageing CHILDLESS man, his intentions can ONLY be bad ones. 😡

OP, 2fallsagain - that link you've posted is both excellent and horrifying.
Grooming, indeed.

IMO Tatchell is a very dangerous man. He's morphed from a passionate supporter of gay rights into sleazy, seedy old man.
His words will carry weight, all those who remember how horrendous homophobia was in the U.K. will give his words credence. He was an amazing force for good in the fight for the rights for homosexual people. Although I remember thinking he went a bit too far in the forcible outing of some.
His agenda appears to have changed. Perhaps this was his long game.
Will the next step be LGBTQP and the push to have paedophilia to be recognised as a sexuality.

I've never felt the same about Tatchell after his pronouncements around trans-generational sex.

I certainly set no store by his opinions around how young girls should feel about their bodies, boundaries, and right to privacy.

Watched the video of discussion between him and Caro. Was disgusted, creepy old man saying girls should be brought up not feel embarrassed by their bodies then they wouldn't need privacy. He's apparently talked to lots of children. Yeah young girls are definately going to confide in him.
