Times article about parents lobbying govt.

[Melroses]

Can't find anywhere to put this so started a thread.

Anyone got a share token?

I don't think this in today's app edition which is the only one I can do sharetokens in.

It's positive that this is happening, but my heart sank when I read the quotes from the parents about "the LGBT lobby" or "an LGBT cult" being responsible for their children's situation.

These parents aren't talking about the 'trans lobby' or the 'trans cult' the way we do here. They are blaming LGB along with the T. And to some extent, you can't blame them, given Stonewall's position and the position of many influential gay men and lesbians.

Really hope the new LGB Alliance gets publicity and some strong traction going to show that not all LGBs agree with this.

By the way if you sign up you can read 3 articles for free each week - that's how I just read it.

I'm rubbish at share tokens but maybe this will work

Parents battle ‘state‑sponsored sterilisation’ of trans children

It seems to be a new group called "Our Duty" - there is not much about them online yet.

"Our mission: To support parents like us through the nightmare of ROGD. To find and share information. To challenge fake-science. To find best ways to manage our beloved kids. And most of all, to know that we are not alone in this battle, and that we have friends who understand."

Kesstrel I thought that, too. Not much to do with LGB but lumped in
