Pretty shocking but it seems they think they're right.

Oh wow. That's a really nasty thing to write.

You are also making a huge assumption about why parents of children who identify as trans are on the site and the sex of the children who identify as trans. Plus, a huge assumption about why they identify as trans.

Agreed.

I'm not going to engage any further as I'm not sure that this poster is doing so in good faith.

Here's an example:

Man jailed for abducting schoolgirl while dressed as woman - BBC News

The girl later told police how she had been unable to get a bus home and so started to walk when she was approached "by a lady in a car" who offered to give her a lift.

She said she had accepted the offer and got into the Jaguar car because she was cold and believed the "lady" to be non-threatening.

Perhaps this poor little girl (primary school age) hadn't been taught that sometimes a man might pretend to be a 'lady', and he's as dangerous as any other strange man.

Given women such as Myra Hindley and Rose West, sadly we shouldn't tell our daughters to put themselves into a vulnerable situation with women either.

The hospital is not the subject of this thread, but I will comment that then and now, excuses for the management only work, if you accept that casual level of investigation into all rapes.

Suppose the ward had been truly female-only, and the rapist had been a man who sneaked onto the grounds and posed as a patient in the early hours of the morning?

Would it be acceptable to tell his victim that she couldn't have been raped because all the people documented to be present were female? Would it be normal practice? I don't think it would. I think it's standard to investigate for intruders.

So how come hospital management just shut it down with "no men present" that time? Well, I'd say it's because they knew who she meant.

And a staff members involved left themselves open to a criminal charge of perverting the course of Justice.

In the camps situation the have to take account of noncontact child sex abuse and taking a position on allowing mixed sex activities while risk assessing designing as single sex is a safeguarding fail.

I don't think I need to be told specifically that the other patients in my ward are female but I think I should be able to assume they are if my ward is designated as single sex. That would mean that the hospital who are privy to such information only admit women to my single sex ward. I don't think I have the right to know the sex of everyone in my ward if it is not single sex just because I suspect someone is trans, though.

Having hospitals only admit other females to my ward is something that would be achieved through voting.

The reason I disagree with trans ideology is because I think it is most damaging to trans identifying people. The belief that you need to change because you don't fit some rigid expectations or have been made to bekieve your biological sex is toxic. Yes, they can harm others but I think every single trans person is being harmed by believing that they are the wrong sex opposed to just some trans people using this identity to exploit and harm.

I think I should be able to assume they are if my ward is designated as single sex.

But you can’t assume. That’s the point. So you can either wait until something bad happens, or check beforehand. You clearly don’t see an issue with letting something bad happen first.

Having hospitals only admit other females to my ward is something that would be achieved through voting.

Voting when? It what election? For whom? No one is looking out for your rights.

The belief that you need to change because you don't fit some rigid expectations or have been made to bekieve your biological sex is toxic

So in that instance, you would support children being told “Finn is a girl but thinks she’s a boy, but the stereotypical beliefs she has don’t make her a boy.” That means you support this mother in making sure her child isn’t told lies based on stereotypes while on camp, don’t you?

CassOle · 31/08/2025 13:45

Ihavetoask · 31/08/2025 13:23

Yes. I see it in many posts on here. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a disproportionate number of parents on here who have trans identifying children. I can absolutely see why they do just by the way they speak about men and boys.

Oh wow. That's a really nasty thing to write.

I don't think another child is the appropriate party to address this with the trans identifying child. It could cause more harm. Which is exactly why I discourage children from arguing about it with adults who have told them otherwise.

I agree that it is not the job of another child to address the inappropriateness of labelling a gender-questioning child with the adult label 'Transgender'.

It is the job of whatever bodies oversee charities like this to make sure they avoid pushing children down the road towards what you describe as
The belief that you need to change because you don't fit some rigid expectations or have been made to believe your biological sex is toxic. Yes, they can harm others but I think every single trans person is being harmed by believing that they are the wrong sex ...

It will probably be pressure from parents which will force charities to adopt a more non-ideological and child-centred approach.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 31/08/2025 13:42

Cor

it appears that ‘making a fuss’ is such a heinous crime that to avoid it you should put your child in a situation where spaces that are single sex for the preservation of privacy, safety and dignity may summarily be made mixed sex, and where moreover those In positions of power over your child may lie to them and encourage them to ignore their own instincts about the sex of those they interact with.

who knew that making a fuss was so bad?

MrsOvertonsWindow · 31/08/2025 13:42

NotBadConsidering · 31/08/2025 13:37

It’s amazing isn’t it, how willing people are to boldly state out loud and upfront how they don’t understand how safeguarding works, as if they’re proud of it. I’d be mortally ashamed if I held the belief that not making a fuss should be prioritised over preventing potential abuse, not repeating it ad nauseam on a thread.

That's a feature of transactivists the world over isn't it. To deny reality, promote alienation from parents and families, deny that others (especially women and children) have rights and to prioritise the demands of sacred caste.

I'm simply not defending this parent making her child's chance at respite and recreation about her views.

You are by default and action defending the staff and the organisations decision to impose their belief sysyem on a child and mother and the decision to refuse the application on the same basis.

OldCrone · 31/08/2025 13:41

Ihavetoask · 31/08/2025 13:21

It really isnt. I see parents all the time talking about why they'd prefer a boy or a girl as if it determines their interests and personality. When we get to this healthy place, people won't care.

Unfortunately, even the most enlightened parents haven't been able to protect their children (particularly teenage girls) from the social contagion of this ideology.

Here's what happened in one family.

My first article- "A Mum's Voyage Through Transtopia" -Lily Maynard

This is from 2017, and things have only got worse since then.

Edited to add that the article was first published in 2016, so the events were even earlier than that.

My first article- "A Mum's Voyage Through Transtopia" -

My daughter Jessie identified as a boy for at least nine months. She was consistent, insistent and persistent and wanted to change her pronouns, register at college as a boy and visit a gender therapist. I said no.

Because it wasnt the time or the place to raise it.

When would have been the time to raise it? At the registration at the start of the camp? Half way through the camp? Afterwards?

Surely asking questions beforehand is the appropriate time to raise it?

There are numerous reasons also for that mother to being asking questions because there may well be issues around provisions of accommodations and toilet/showers. Why wouldn't it be appropriate for any parent or carer to be asking questions if they are feeling very unsure about what policies will be?

Where would this man be where he would be able to talk directly to the child alone about his gender identity?

Here's an example:

The girl later told police how she had been unable to get a bus home and so started to walk when she was approached "by a lady in a car" who offered to give her a lift.

Likely because the ward list said there were only females and nobody checked beyond that. I see that more like someone saying that it was an Irish man but as everyone listed was born in England, they assumed there was nobody Irish on the ward and ignored the fact that someone had emigrated to Ireland as a child.

They all knew. He was a fully intact male, an obvious male, and even the nurses looking after him LIED and said he wasn't a man, when they physically tended to him! They KNEW he was a fully intact male and they lied.

I support telling people the sex of other individuals. In a single sex environment like a ward, that would mean people of the other sex arent admitted.

I don't think not telling me the biological sex of a person always presents a safeguarding risk so I won't use the terms you suggest. Safeguarding isn't why I think people should be told the sex of others

These two statements are oxymoronic. You accept that being told the actual sex of a person is important in single sex environments, but you don’t think safeguarding is why people should be told? The reason people should be told in single sex environments is because of safeguarding! It’s to safeguard women’s privacy, safety and dignity. For what reason do you think people should be told a person’s in single sex environments if not safeguarding?

Do you actually know what the word safeguarding means?

It's more about acceptance and understanding diversity.

So you think women on a single sex ward should be told about that there’s a man on the ward so those women can learn to accept his diversity?

I don't think I need to be told specifically that the other patients in my ward are female but I think I should be able to assume they are if my ward is designated as single sex. That would mean that the hospital who are privy to such information only admit women to my single sex ward. I don't think I have the right to know the sex of everyone in my ward if it is not single sex just because I suspect someone is trans, though.
