According to Andrew Gilligan:

Crowdfunder has told me that Transgender Trend's resource pack "does not break our terms and conditions" and its fundraiser will be reinstated. Big victory against trans lobby bullies.

That's a shame, hopefully schools will see sense and shred any copies they get

BarrackerBarmer · 07/06/2018 13:18

Advocating shredding/banning/burning books, fox?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 07/06/2018 13:20

And they call us Nazis....

Thank goodness, they have been a huge support to me. Without them, and the feminists on here, I may not have held so firm and my child may well be on blockers now instead of returning to identifying as their biological sex.

BarrackerBarmer · 07/06/2018 13:21

Facts, reason and logic are very scary to those who bear a personal deficit of those attributes.

MyAuntyBadger · 07/06/2018 13:22

Fox, have you read it? All of it?

MyAuntyBadger · 07/06/2018 13:23

If you have read it, can you say specifically what it is you object to? Because I have read it and I can't see what anybody could possibly have a problem with.

Beamur · 07/06/2018 13:23

Good. Even if not everyone agrees on their approach, it will be the right approach for some children.

AbsintheFriends · 07/06/2018 13:24

Thank goodness. There seems to be a very slow push back at the moment.

It seems astonishing that at the start of the year we were still in the dark days of #nodebate

Italiangreyhound · 07/06/2018 13:25

Fox I think the stance of Transgender Trend, of waiting and watching and supporting but not encouraging to transition, is very common sense and is what the Tavistock also recomment. Isn't it?

Why should schools shred paper that recommends not rushing ahead?

SciFiFan2015 · 07/06/2018 13:27

Link to give?

GenderApostate · 07/06/2018 13:28

Wearing your Brown Shirt today Fox?

KittiesInsane · 07/06/2018 13:29

I've read it, and it essentially says 'Be nice to children, don't rush them, and respect all those in your care. Remember that not all gender-questioning children are trans.'

If you have a problem with that, Fox, why?

BoreOfWhabylon · 07/06/2018 13:35

If true, this is excellent news.

Fox should, imo, be ignored.

FishFingerPie · 07/06/2018 13:37

Does anyone know the link/address to donate?

FoxOnSecurity · 07/06/2018 13:37

I have read it, and it's full of incorrect information and lies, it actively encourages schools to take steps that risk them falling foul of their legal duties and duty of care to pupils as well as statements like '“rapid onset gender dysphoria” and you catch it from websites like DeviantArt, Tumblr, and Reddit'.

Also their website links to people like Zucker who was removed from his position because he was offering gay and trans conversion therapy. Oh and links to Lily Maynard who openly States that allowing your child to transion is child abuse...

OrchidInTheSun · 07/06/2018 13:39

That's great news

I've just done my donation.

Fox eh? There's someone on another thread calling us all bitches. Seems to be a barking theme around today.

athingthateveryoneneeds · 07/06/2018 13:44

Transing children is child abuse.

spontaneousgiventime · 07/06/2018 13:47

Woop-woop!

Just had an email from Crowdfunder Smile

Dear Supporter,

We are getting in touch to inform you that crowdfunder has concluded its investigation into the Transgender Trend School Resources project after it received an unusually high number of complaints on the platform.

Having considered the nature of the complaints carefully, we have found that, based on the information we received, the project does not break our terms & conditions and guidelines.

We have therefore confirmed to the project owner that we will re-instate the project. Your pledge remains placed on the project. You can manage this pledge in 'My Pledges' when you are logged into your account.

Please note that this decision is based wholly on how the project meets our terms and conditions, and our content guidelines, and is not a reflection of the merits or accuracy of the project nor does it constitute any recommendation, representation or endorsement by Crowdfunder.

Many thanks,

The Team at Crowdfunder

Very to-the-point comment by Oliver Burkeman:

Having now had a chance to read some of the resource pack in question, I'd be most interested to see a list of verbatim quotes from it that its critics consider to constitute "hate speech"

"verbatim quotes" - seem to definitely be what's lacking in the criticism I'e seen.

The responses to the tweet are interesting as well.

Betsvigi9 · 07/06/2018 13:53

Just got an email from them confirming this. A common sense decision.

Starkstaring · 07/06/2018 13:55

Fox. You need to look at the Tavistock guidelines for parents and professionals then see how the TT guide compares - it is very similar in its advice. And also protects the rights of children according to their biological sex.

And also a reminder that the Equalities Act protects gender reassignment, not gender identity, as reiterated by the response to the GRA consultation highlighted yesterday.
