Lizzy Pitt needs help with gardening in the usual place if anyone has plants to spare. She is a social worker accused of hate speech for expressing gender critical views, and is being represented by Naomi Cunningham.

Assuming that Cambridgeshire County Council isn't entirely captured by tin foil hat nutters, they should/could read the runes and throw in the towel now.

Hi Lizzy, thanks for coming on to say hello! Gardening is contributing to your cause... we're not allowed to directly link to crowdfunders / crowdjustice on here. I'm not quite sure when contributions became 'gardening'.

Thank you so much for fighting this fight. I'm particularly concerned with safeguarding and good to see it mentioned in your case. I don't see how you can have a safeguarding culture if you're not allowed to state the reality of biological sex and expected to lie and only adhere to one ideology.

I also don't think it's good safeguarding to instantly affirm children and refuse to allow discussion about why they might be gender distressed. Which is now backed up by the Cass review. As far as I can see if social workers are not allowed to discuss the reality of biological sex, they can't possibly do their jobs properly.

It also doesn't seem mentally healthy to encourage children to believe they can't be 'safe' unless every single person they encounter pretends that they're something they're not nor that this is even a reasonable demand.

I'll be planting a few bulbs once my paycheck arrives.

Edited

I agree with all you say, Safeguarding is what all this is about for me, that we all have rights and protections. Our children need all the oportunities and protections we can afford them.
Rhanks for the support 😊

Councils should be ashamed. How dare they spend council tax money which should be spent on services on defending these cases
😡

I agree, Im hoping my case will help to clarify why EDI needs to be delivered lawfully, not just by listening to the loudest voices
I didnt take it as a criticism 😊

As a former social worker I am horrified by the implications of what suppressing views of women like you are having…the be d mantra does not extend to us. I hope you win and will garden shortly. You have great team. Are you in touch wirh Rachel Meade?

@Ramblingnamechanger Im sti working out the platform, I thought Id responded tho I dont think it completed so I'll post again-
It is the weirdest twist where it doesn't work both ways. 🤷
Thanks for your support, and no Im not in touch with Rachel Meade, maybe I should be.

Longdarkteatimeofthesoul · 28/06/2024 03:35

Good luck - as a former social worker I too am %100 in your corner!

We are going through crazy times, crazy🤷

Good luck Lizzy. I’ve just watered the garden for you 🙏🏻

Excellent name you have there 😅

Lizzy needs £13k in 26 days. It's only £500 each day but she will only get it if we all reach down the back of the sofa one more time. The fact that she is represented by the inestimable NC is additional encouragement.

Thanks for posting , and yes, I have the inestimable NC and I also have the rocket that is LMcG, these women know their stuff-it's been a privilege to work with them- hopefully I'll be saying that in August 😉

I’ve just planted what I can Lizzy, and wish you all the strength and success. Thanks for standing up to this, you’re a ⭐

Thank you, I'll take the strength, and the sucess😊 it really does mean alot to be supported like this, when its over I may write a piece about the surreal world I stepped into.

HR teams seem to be taking Stonewall law as the law, a big mistake. I want our social work management to challenge this, starting with SWE-
My case will give further clarity, and there will be somebody after me to carry it on. Its a hard battle, ✊✊and 😘🥕

Hang in there Hun. We have your back. Need another £12,250 to go.

@LizzyPitt As a fellow social worker I’m appalled and scared to read your story. I’m also angry at our profession which is supposed to be based on supporting all voices and most importantly protecting the vulnerable. And yet…I work in a job that constantly ‘supports’ vulnerable children to go along with the crazy belief that they can change sex, my profession literally bends over backwards to support this, criticising parents who express basic concern about it. I find it also hugely frustrating that as a profession we are supposed to stand for anti-discrimination but somehow find ourselves in a position where we are going along with the lie that the most oppressed are men who state they are women. At the expense of women’s safety and dignity.

Anyway you know all of this….

Good luck and tomorrow I’ll plant some carrots. 🥕
