Plummer vs CAFCASS

Thinking about this further, how would you be able to match up the records for a particular child? If in some records they have one name and sex and in other paperwork, they have a different name and sex. It seems a recipe for chaos and likely that important trails of evidence would be lost.

As a court appointed guardian he ascertains and reports to the court a child’s views on proposed custody or adoption arrangements. I believe he is correct that such paperwork should reflect legal reality including the child’s legal name and sex. Otherwise the court orders would be in the wrong name.

Social worker to sue over removal from case after pronoun row

Social workers are keen on affirming or suggesting (?) they are trans to vulnerable children apparently. Trans identified children are over-represented in the care sector.

Excerpt from an article by Julie Bindel:

I think it is also highly relevant that children in care are over-represented at GIDS, and that many of them have complex mental health histories prior to referral, and many have been in and out of the care system. These girls will be in contact with social workers – one of the groups of professionals that, according to evidence, is enraptured by transgender ideology.

‘I never came into contact with any girls who wished to become boys until the past three or four years,’ says Audrey*, a senior social worker in Blackpool who has worked with ‘dozens’ of under 18-year-olds in local authority care.

‘But recently, I have been inundated with girl after girl telling me they are boys and insisting I say “he”. Every single one of these girls has been sexually exploited. Most have been brought up in chaos. There has to be a connection.’

‘This town is a hotbed of child sexual abuse and violence,’ says Audrey. ‘But we have more training on trans stuff, such as the language to use, and how we should never question anyone who is demanding to be addressed as the opposite sex, but rather just go along with it.’

What I don’t understand is that the NHS and Schools are now supposed to record sex on records. Why would a social work case be any different?

So no suggestion that whatever they're going through that's got the social services involved is having an impact on their mental health which might manifest itself as 'trans' then.

From the Telegraph article

Mr Plummer, from Bath, is taking action against Cafcass alongside Bayswater Support Group and an anonymous third claimant to demand that the agency suspend its transgender guidance.

Their pre-action letter, seen by The Telegraph, alleges that the guidance presents “contested propositions” about gender identity “as though they represent settled professional practice”.

The guidance does not acknowledge clinical, safeguarding or legal debates about transgender issues, the group claims.

Cafcass’s official guidance tells staff to write reports using a transitioning child’s “new name and pronouns” to “not invalidate the gender in which the child identifies”. The guidance says children “should not be forced to pretend they are not transgender to please a parent”.

It continues: “Some parents simply do not accept that transgender people exist and carry prejudice and bigotry that they project onto their child.
“In that dynamic, the child cannot be themselves and may become homeless or be abused by the parent or other family members and child protection issues arise.”
It adds: “Evidence shows that young people who have parents/wider family who are supportive of their transgender identity are more likely to have good mental health, including improved outcomes.”

The last paragraph I quoted seems to make several extraordinary claims, particularly that A follows T. I'd like to see the extraordinary evidence that supports them.

Oh look it's payday, my small contribution will be made, tomorrow, it's a worthwhile attempt from the support group, I hope they win and the guidance is binned, as it should be.

Donated.

The Bayswater Support Group have a donation option on their website should anyone want to support them.
