Hi all- this is a heads up for the latest posts on the BERG blog-
bergbristol.wordpress.com/

A follow up letter on behalf of a parent to Cathedral school (Bristol) drawing their attention to Transgender Trend's new analysis of Just Like Us and their resources for schools: www.transgendertrend.com/just-like-us-factsheet/

A call from Merched Cymru to respond to the Welsh Government consultation on RSE curriculum - deadline July 16

Our blog and letters to schools is designed for parents concerned about how schools are promoting gender ideology and confusing sex with gender identity. Do check the letters and resources for links you may find useful.

Thanks for the update Margaret71

Much appreciated.

Hello again gender critical rad fems

You may want to check out our latest post-

'Letter to Bristol City Mayor, Cabinet and Scrutiny Chairs – leave Stonewall!'

bergbristol.wordpress.com/

Bristol Education Research Group is concerned with the safeguarding and well being of children in Bristol schools.

Many of our concerns stem from the ideology that Stonewall and organisations influenced by Stonewall promote. Stonewall promotes gender identity ideology (the belief that ‘gender identity’ should replace biological sex in policy making) and campaigns to remove single sex provision and protection thus putting women and children at risk.

During the past year we have written to Bristol City Council officers, to Councillors Keen and Godwin and to the Mayor.

On our latest post you can see the questions we have put to them.

Do get in touch if you would like to share your concerns and experiences in local schools.

I’m a little further South too, by Burnham.

If there enough of us, maybe we could start our own group. It’s very lonely and tiring.
When I try to explain people look at me like I’m off my rocker going on about a weird paranoid conspiracy. Can totally see their point as it just flies in the face of common sense and what the ‘normal’ person on the street thinks could ever happen. Except it is.

Hi all
BERG has written again to Cotham School asking how the school actively challenges gender identity ideology. Also do the three named external organisations that come into school (all of whom appear to subscribe to gender identity ideology) bring that ideology into school with them?
We would love to hear from anyone else who has any connection with the school- teachers, governors, children attending.
In solidarity with you all!

Pleased to hear Bristol’s Watershed was reopening ; went online to book cinema trip for my birthday only discover they now boast “ gender neutral toilets”. I’ll give that one a miss. Ffs

Merched Cymru are just over the bridge in Wales - though issues do differ somewhat given the devolved government.

Just mentioning our group — Let a Woman Speak. We are down in Cornwall.

Nearby and happy to travel

This is (was) the group set up by Raquel but I'm not sure if it is still operating... open to non-students too.

And I can vouch for BERG - lovely people doing some great feministing.

A bit of solidarity goes a long way.

I’m just going to mention that we know hostile TRAs / MRAs have been monitoring the site for some time now, so take care when planning meet-ups or sharing personal information.

Hi @ Leafstamp
The Mayoral candidate zoom was a waste of time- questions sent in advance not answered or acknowledged and in the zoom, questions selected with no explanation of criteria. Also an annoying chat thread promoting prostitution as 'sex work'-
Apparently the Festival of Ideas zoom was better managed
Please advise on how best to promote the Berg blog- we post most weeks - latest is a letter to Cotham school- we would love to hear more from parents. I am not a frequent visitor and its hard to figure out where best to post- and on which threads!

Thanks Margaret. I can’t make it on thurs but good luck!

Can I also just apologise for repeating myself re the BERG site above, too keen to publicise!

HI again- have just realised the Bristol Mayoral hustings are on Thursday 29 April this week, not Monday as in my previous post today- hoping to see some of you there-

Hi gender critical sisters,
If you are a gender critical Mum in Bristol and concerned about how trans ideology is being introduced in your child's school- check out the questions we will be asking of Bristol mayoral candidates at the livestreamed event tonight -
www.bristol.gov.uk/voting-elections/local-elections-thursday-6-may-2021
Our questions are posted on our blog:
bergbristol.wordpress.com/2021/04/19/letter-to-mayoral-candidates/
The event will be live-streamed on Youtube and you can can use the chat to post questions. You can also send questions to the editor (Martin Booth) in our personal capacities or from LRA or other groups-
hopefully see you there- we could use some support!

I’m in Bristol, interested xx

I know this is an oldish thread, but if anyone (perhaps moreso those with children or who work in education etc) is interested, this group are right on the ball - take a look at their letters and blogs etc:
