Meanwhile, a woman who criticised a transgender charity on Twitter has been questioned under caution by police and told she will be arrested if she tries to leave the country. Kellie-Jay Keen- Minshull accused the group Mermaids of “suppressing free speech”.

She had accused Mermaids, which calls for children to be allowed irreversible sex-change treatment the NHS currently prohibits, of “prey[ing]” on gay teenagers and of “mass child abuse”. Mermaids declined to comment.

Step into the world of local politics. I honestly think since the decline of the local press to hold to account its become a total cess pit of corruption.

I keep thinking about the Red Riding series of films and what they had to say about the level of corruption in police/politics in that part of the country.

I love the idea of a mass protest involving presenting at police stations and confessing to thoughtcrime about the nature of human sexual dimorphism!

When you receive the most vile & misogynistic tweets do not just shrug them off. RT them to twitter.com/true_vision_hc - account of the National Police Chiefs Council. The true picture needs sharing.

According to Mermaids, the GMC (General Medical Council, responsible for overseeing and setting standards for doctors) recommend their website.

This may or may not be true, but I am writing to the GMC at [email protected] to ask how Mermaids and the actions of their CEO comply with their guidance on protecting children and young people.

"I'm here to confess to thinking that people with Y chromosomes and penises are male, and that men can't get pregnant or give birth."

The books are worse. David Peace.

'I am here to state that I think if you cut off a man's testicles and penis, it is castration.'

And I am also contacting NHS Choices to ask if they think it is appropriate to promote Mermaids on their website given Mermaids' CEO's well documented abuse of her son, and her deliberate indifference to NHS guidelines.

Not only is Mermaids the top link on their Transgender health page, their website contains an anonymised account of Susie Green and her son's story, with the bits about cross-sex hormones at 14 and genital reassignment surgery on his 16th birthday conveniently missed out. But for those of us who have read or heard Susie Green's story, it is otherwise identical, including playing with the wrong toys:

"When my child Nick was about two, I realised that he wasn't playing with toys that I expected a boy to play with. He was interested in dolls and girly dressing-up clothes".

You can contact NHS Choices about their website via their online webform

There are a lot of us. If we all do this, we can make a difference.

I'm imagining the police working through the queue at the House of Commons on Wednesday.

"Do you think that biology has anything to do with being female?"

Please, please, please do contact the GMC and NHS Choices and complain.

I can't. I work for the NHS. It would be career suicide to even mildly question, never mind challenge this shite in any way.

So far, I haven't been required to promulgate any of it. If that happens, I have already decided that I will refuse to do so and will, instead, retire.

Still can't get over the police insisting that sex reassignment surgery for male people doesn't involve castration. Do they think the surgeon just sort of tucks the balls inside or what?

Scotland's consultation said bluntly in their impact assessment 'there is not impact on women' and wouldn't even unpick it.

Not quite. They acknowledged there may be, but they felt that all the super feminist strides in women's equality they were making effectively cancelled it out. Or to be more accurate, they'd ticked that equality box already so there was no need to revisit it.

Even if we werent talking about physical castration (which looping off of balls most definitely is), taking cross sex hormones causes chemical castration.

From Merriam-Webster medical dictionary...
"Medical Definition of chemical castration: the administration of a drug (such as medroxyprogesterone acetate) to bring about a marked reduction in the body's production of androgens and especially testosterone"

Only caught the end of it but I think therealposieparker was on LBC just now, talking to Nick Ferrari - 9:30am or thereabouts.

Or we can get a smidge more technical with (farlex)...

"func·tion·al cas·tra·tion"
"gonadal atrophy produced by prolonged treatment with sex hormones or gonadotropin-releasing hormone superagonists or antagonists."
"Synonym(s): chemical castration"

Lupron being a GnRH agonist you may have heard of...

....And yet we can describe the top part operation that a trans man has to transition as a mastectomy.

archery2. ooh, is there a listen again feature?

Plod isn’t required to think, just to toe the pc party line.

I too will confess to Thought Crime by openly stating that the removal of testicles in gender reassignment is castration.

Also

Surgically mutilating crucial parts of a child’s reproductive system and administering potentially damaging and permanently life changing hormone treatment is abusive.

➿🖕🏼

‘Oh god officer, please arrest me. I can’t stop thinking these illegal thoughts...I think I’m a (sob) male. I mean, I’ve got this skirt on and no penis and everything but I still 100% think I have been socialised as and physically remain a biological male.

I even know I have XY chromosomes!!!’ (inarticulate wailing)

Holds out hands.

Surgically mutilating crucial parts of a child’s reproductive system and administering potentially damaging and permanently life changing hormone treatment is abusive.

Particularly when you tell them aged SIX that it's something they can have when they are older. Like taking the stabilisers off your bike, having a watered-down cider at Christmas, and getting the bus by yourself.

Just heard you on LBc was disappointed he didn’t take the what you under caution for saying X. He summed it up as disagreement when it’s totally disproportionate to what you said.
I knwo these cases can take years being under caution, police don’t have set time get it going or say no charges. Mean while you have live with it over you and no travelling abroad. Obviously it effect some more than others.

#IStandWithPosieParker is doing quite nicely on Twitter, appended to brief factual statements about what Susie Green did. Although it would be great to see it trending...
