Thank goodness the DM is publishing this.

'Some feminists see transgender people as treacherous because they often seem to buy, perhaps for suspected fetishistic reasons, into an ideologically constructed version of femininity which is just another part of patriarchy’s intricate system of systems of oppression. And some transgender people see feminists as treacherous because they say things like “You can’t make yourself into a fucking woman by cutting your bloody bits off”.'

I’ve been having some counselling in relation to husbands cross dressing. I have specifically asked at the outset about their views on transgender, as in my mind there is a push by TRAs to conflate the two. Without checking this out I would not have felt free to speak honestly. Having said that both therapists were clear that they are required to affirm where necessary. It is ridiculous if you have to check this out in advance in order to feel safe in a therapeutic relationship,

Snap but you had a better screenshot!

Amazing how some of the most unsuitable people in the world get to weigh in on matters of ethics isn't it? Especially given their impact on women and children.

This person?

This is the guy that said it didn't matter if some women died due to self ID right?

In all seriousness, this is a fucking nightmare for parents, psychotherapist isn't a protected term so I rely on professional registration to help filter out poorly qualified and therapists charging £50 an hour for a gentle chat.

Equally, if my daughter 13 walks into a session about anxiety, dresses like a boy and is a lesbian, and walks out stating she must be trans and wants a binder - would this count as poor practice?

Sanchez Manning, the journalist, has been brilliant on these issues.

The Absolute State of The BACP!

As an aside, it occurs to me how James Esses is like Maya Forstater - neither went quietly after being bullied out for their (perfectly ordinary) GC views and both have become formidable writers & activists.

The TRAs made some of best GC public figures.

Made me chuckle for a moment before going back to the serious stuff.
