I have been lurking on twitter lately and noticed Baroness Nicholson has been very active recently. Amongst her tweets are quite a few gems - letters to Liz Truss, tweets asking for evidence about Stonewall’s involvement CPS guidance just to name two.

This tweet I found very encouraging too.

It is imperative to restore the rights of women.I foresee a single issue, cluster approach;we make a new Women’s Rights movement lasting one year,solely to rescue womanhood from its destruction through today’s legal and social denial of our existence.Emma,BNoW

She has today written to Liz Truss again but this time with her concerns about the gross misinterpretation of the ECHR in the trans toolkits used in schools and recommends that such toolkits are removed from use now. Such support is great news.

I will try to post the letter for those not on twitter.

I look forward to seeing what what happens next.

"A truly venomous homophobe and transphobe."

GMC getting close Ade?

Sadly one of my FB friends, a lovely woman but very TRA friendly, is ranting about the Baroness, saying she has spoken out against gay marriage (and incidentally also ranting about Liz Truss...). I've looked on Twitter and have not seen any such statement by her -- but then, I'm not much of a Twitterati. What has she really said?

Well they would know all about hateful conduct wouldnt they....

Yes. And all the while they overlook the hateful views that Berghof expressed about Lesbians.

Latest update from twitter re: the Baroness.

Munroe Bergdorf: she's a meanie!

Mermaids: Yes she is! And she is Booker prize judge! This can't be right. Booker Prize, you must get rid of her!

The rest of twitter: you'll struggle, her husband established the awards. Why are you trying to organise a pile-on when you should be worrying about how your charity will survive, based as it is on a very flawed and dangerous ideology?

I think the CEO of Asda has been Emma'd. Grin

She's good, isn't she? Grin
She's ace. I sigh with relief when I see how she gets it. She really gives me hope that this can be rowed back and sense prevail.

Beyond Magenta is a book recommendef in the teaching material. In it there is a section where a trans adolescent describes doing this as a six year old and enjoying the experience.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 19/06/2020 18:16

On the aside -

Even if aimed for adults - which surely the dice game should ONLY be aimed at, I note clitoris is not there.

Funny how female sexual pleasure is irrelevant.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 19/06/2020 18:14

The dice game...?

OMG. Grooming for paedophiles.

Fellatio for 6yr olds....? Where the hell did that come from??

Dicotyledon · 19/06/2020 17:58

I get so fed up with people saying they love other famous people for doing good things, but I’m definitely feeling some uber-like for the Baroness. I wrote to her about sone of my concerns and actually got a letter back (via email).

I applaud ASDA's support for the LGB and T communities

She is so on the ball!

At this point I'm cynical enough to suspect that the excruciating embarrassment this would cause the kids is probably part of the appeal for the people pushing it.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 15/06/2020 21:37

Jesus. I taught that age range. They would all be horrified. This is grooming.

Elbow to knee sex, it's the next big thing.

C’mon. You know there’s already some weird niche porn site where this is already a thing. I bet some wrong ‘uns really got off on the ‘Wuhan shuffle’ elbow to elbow handshake substitute at the start of COVID & have run with it.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 15/06/2020 21:28

I think it's meant to work like a dice game where you just throw, get two body parts, and then figure out how to rub them together. Which is super sexy, let me tell you.

I actually cannot think how that works to be fair. Nor anus to anus. And object to object may only be so very arousing for people with over vivid imaginations.

OP posts:
TheProdigalKittensReturn · 15/06/2020 20:49

Also who are these people who rub vulva and anus against each other, why would that be fun, and why do children need to know how to do it?

It is true. Penises are a highlight it seems.

On the other hand, piers Morgan would be happy. There is a penguin story for the 3-6 year olds about gender disphoric penguins.

Actually only a few specific examples as some is the support material for this game.

What a world we live in that we think a game like this is a fun way to teach kids about sex?

OP posts:
TheProdigalKittensReturn · 15/06/2020 20:46

Also I notice that no matter how many body parts are being discussed the penis always has to be at the center, because of course it does.
