Janice Turner The Times 21/2/20 Giving puberty blocker to ‘trans’ children is a leap into the unknown

Cherie Blair has just tweeted Janice Turner's article.

Getting some stick from TRAs.

I bought a paper copy of The Times today to give them some support. Janice Turner has been doing sterling work on this issue.

There's a thread in her care workers piece with a link now.

Thank you, Errol.

Janice Turner is worth her weight in gold.

There's another thread on that piece, Teds, which has a link.

Janice has her normal Saturday column too btw, which is about the value (and undervaluing) of care workers - which may also be of interest to feminists.

I've just picked up this initial paragraph from The Times but sadly, do not have a share token to offer.

Please let it be true.

"Ministers are expected to drop plans to make it easier for people to change their gender amid concerns about the impact on children... The consultation, which was launched in 2018 by Theresa May, proposed to change the law so that people would be able to officialy transition simply by making a declaration of their gender... The proposals to change the Gender Recognition Act have met with criticism from some feminist groups, whose members are concerned about the prospect of trans people being able to use single-sex spaces. Ministers are also concerned about the impact the proposals could have on children, who are being helped to transition while still developing their “decision-making capabilities”."

Thanks so much Janice.

There are comments under all of the articles and they are superb. I'm off out now and will also buy a paper copy in support.

This is such a good article. Much love Janice!

My comment took ages to be approved but is there now. Good to see the Times being brave and allowing criticism of the fishy charity in the comments.

The comments are going up and they are excellent - thoughtful and concerned.

These articles will go down as the warnings that everyone pushing this wilfully ignored to drive their agenda of sterilisation and stunting development of children, when the day of reckoning comes (which it will).

Fantastic article, probably the best I've read to date.

Same here. Incredibly important and impossible to ignore. It's just heartbreaking for the kids and parents for whom it is too late, who followed the Pied Piper and will inevitably have bitter regrets a few years later.

Yes, and why regulatory authorities have done nothing.

The only part of the article I have issue with is the very last sentence. I have been asking serious questions. I have asked all the relevant authorities and clinics and have received nothing back. So has everyone else. Janice needs to qualify that by saying it’s time for some answers to the repeated questions.

Janice Turner knows her onions! An excellent article. Thank you Janice.

It is excellent to see this getting such prominent coverage in the national press. It is almost unbelievable that the medical profession are involved in putting children on a medical pathway which can have such life altering consequences. The Keira Bell case is heartbreaking. How many more young girls are going through this? The lawsuits which will be the inevitable result will make grim reading.

"Salivating"? That doesn't sound very professional, does it, "Dollmaker"?

(No smiting, mods, the name The Dollmaker was given to Spack by trans people, not evil mean women who should stop talking.)

I sincerely hope they time and maturity helps your family member to resolve their issues.

Many people have been through this and the darkness does lighten.

Janice....thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
But we've still got lots of work ahead on woman = adult human female and our single sex spaces.

Yes, Qcng. Spack has been very influential:

An incredibly important article, a must-read.

An outstanding article there Janice.
It lays everything out so clearly, it makes it very powerful.
