Hi, can anyone point me to some evidence about the issues with LGBT Youth Scotland as our school seems to be promoting events run by them.

Here is the BBC, is that more credible? Are you credible Spango - do you think men can get pregnant?

Much more credible, thanks. And what does pregnancy have to do with it? LGBT Youth Scotland do a lot of work with schools to prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying.

The Telegraph and The Times reported on the story:

But there's nothing wrong with Reduxx. If there is, the complaint needs to be specific. What's "odd-looking" or "biased"?

Thanks - mainstream reliable sources are much more useful!

So?

SpangoDweller · 17/01/2023 15:27

It was after - this was about 2014, I was working for a group of local authorities.

I’d just never heard of Reduxx, and it looks like a teenager’s website from 2002, that’s all.

Yes that's him.

One of the men who has made the allegations is being v vocal on twitter too, sorry I can't remember his name but hoping someone else can.

Horsey mum, there are FOIs. Also, depending on what the issues you are concerned about are, this companies very own resources are a fairly credible source to highlight concerns.

They will have received an email from LGBTYS telling the school that anyone who expresses any concerns is a bigot and that LGBTYS can safely dismiss these worries.

What are your concerns?

Thanks, I think the school might instinctively trust more mainstream sources.

@SpangoDweller was that before or after their co was found guilty of running the biggest pedophile ring in Scotland and was involved in the rape of a 3 month old!

They enthusiastically endorse GenderGP when approached by adolescent girls online:

(they also direct adolescent girls to a free Scottish binder service)

I had some fab anti-bullying training from LGBT Youth Scotland a few years back. Those stories from a very odd-looking and biased website seem designed to discredit?

And an update story. Someone was told to shred a load of paperwork, it seems:

Have they not reported themselves as they were accused of grooming a couple of vulnerable clients
