@TheFireflies Are you a Cafcass Officer?

Yes.
I am actually able to speak quite openly now about gender ideology, Cass report etc.
I can’t speak for all individual practitioners, but in my team it’s certainly not a practice, and it’s not policy.

Apparently Cafcass (the unfit for purpose organisation who work with children going through family courts) now ask any child they interview their pronouns as their first question.

Can also confirm they do not

No, I can confirm this is not the case.

Nor surprising as Cafcass were (not sure if they still are) involved with Stonewall so they'll need to prioritise Stonewall's demands over children's needs.

Maybe partly, but I think it is more than that.

Children with difficult backgrounds can be more vulnerable themselves to ideologies like this.

And also, once a best practice is established, foster parents or guardians just don't have much choice about following that. It's kind of like parenting is completely subsumed in a liability culture.

Social work itself seem to jump on just about every stupid progressive bandwagon you can imagine. Progressive social justice frameworks are baked into the ideological basis of almost every social work department you'll find.They are extremely hostile places for anyone with any political, social, or religious views which aren't in line with that. People who aren't on board get weeded out of social work unless they are pretty determined.

The ideological capture of Social Work lead me to drop out of my masters programme. Couldn't hack anymore of the harmful bullshit.

If I remember rightly a number of trans individuals / organisations made a cynical choice to target children in care / children away from their families. It was one of the first things that alerted me to the exploitative nature of those pushing this at children - that they deliberately sought out the most vulnerable of children for their "attention" with policies and training events for foster carers, staff in children's homes and social workers.

If you tell vulnerable sad children that they can be "fixed" with a magical new special identity, it's not surprising that many buy into it. Hence their over representation in this cohort of children and young people.
