Please sign into CSP and look at the new iCSP discussion "Stonewall and the CSP"

A great thread beginning and agreement that stonewall are problematic and women's rights are being overlapped by male rights

Then a HUGE ESSAY by a TRA

Maybe it’s time to log into my iCSP again. Elaine Millar asks a good question

We were talking about this at work today. There are more of us than I realised.

I'm definitely going to email Elaine Smile
It would be good to make connections off MN but would need to be anonymous still.

Good point @Bosky. You have to be registered to post on MN but anyone can see a thread.

I've just completed my CSP survey fwiw, there is still a week to go so still time to do it. There's a section on micro aggressions and a free text box at the end which I used.
I've probably loosely paraphrased what EM said. She was very active on here for quite a time so I'm sure is aware of MN's limitations. But as a way of making contact with other GC HCPs as we have done on this thread, it could be useful.

I decided to email Elaine and got a lovely reply. Mentioned RM & said they had a big discussion last year which she felt positive about but that they haven't been in contact since. Definitely encourage you to get in touch with her. She said she had been sent a link to this thread but had deregistered so couldn't see it but suggested because MN is anonymous that it may be a way to start organising. Everything she says makes perfect sense.

"She said she had been sent a link to this thread but had deregistered so couldn't see it but suggested because MN is anonymous that it may be a way to start organising."

This suggests that Elaine has not tried following the link and thinks that only registered Mumsnet members can see content, ie. that she thinks it is hidden and not public.

It might be worth checking with her.

Depending on what you are thinking of organising, it might also be worth considering taking some things out the goldfish bowl that is Mumsnet on the open internet.

(I'm not a physio BTW. Retired Health Care Professional with GC physio friends - and we all obviously adore Elaine!)

RM used to tweet regularly about her friend Gussie Grips though and how great she was and then it all went quiet

I saw in the magazine the other month that DB, ever one to complain of institutional transphobia etc, received an award from
WCPT at their Congress in Dubai. Wonder how he squares going there with their treatment of LGBT people!

RadFizz · 18/07/2023 22:35

That's interesting given RM is full on TWAW and led the pile on against JC last year.

Elaine Miller is looking for GC physios on Twitter but the look of things.

Have received an email this week from the CSP wanting feedback on some things- used it as an opportunity to give feedback in some of the free text boxes. Hope others will do the same.

He was beaten as rep of the year.

Congratulations to Louise

He was nominated in a different category to Louise and was beaten by a woman called Uroosa Mayet. Who I suspect will know a damn sight more about discrimination than dear Jack.

RadFizz · 02/07/2023 21:55

I think it was his tweet about "predatory women" that might've been a step too far. He went quiet after that.

stealtheatingtunnocks · 02/07/2023 21:31

and his mastodon. And he’s not been marching with the leather men who are a significant group in gay culture.

Last time he marched he had antlers on his hat. I wonder if it was a joke about Jackalope’s but I can’t bothered googling incase it is what his Twitter was like.

stealtheatingtunnocks · 02/07/2023 21:28

But then, for balance, there’s this Front page what has it got to do with rehab?

Fetish man isn’t in charge now. I wonder why not

"New opportunities in my professional life" - I wonder if he was told to tone down the fetish stuff if he wanted to be involved with CSP? His Twitter disappeared a while back, if you all remember.

Here's hoping the CSP and others in the NHS (and elsewhere) have a think on calling gender critical therapist's' true and fair comments "transphobic" and censoring them, great news here

“Organisations are going to have to rethink all of their approach to equality and diversity to make sure they really are following the law and not just what activists tell them.”

Will be watching for what they do for IWD.

leather fetishes don’t have much to do with MSK, do they?

northender · 02/07/2023 11:14

I saw that too. And RM in full costume. Finding it all very odd. And sad.
I matched under the CSP flag at Tolpuddle Festival years ago and was so proud to do so. This feels very different and yes very much all about the T+

This is the vice chair of council on Twitter. Spot our old friend Mr Leather! https://twitter.com/ScouseAHPLeader/status/1675222117346861058?s=20

I just saw a tweet from RM with a group CSP pic
