The Times: Trans rights "pass under radar".

Sorry, I don't know how to post a share token. But here it is again, in black and white: a deliberate piss take ploy on an uniformed public. People in rural Ireland (where I live) still have no idea. Whereas even conservative Catholics are often OK with gay rights. (My daughter's MIL said, "we all have gay people in our large families and we love them.")

An international organisation that supports transgender rights has praised activists in Ireland for passing legislation “under the radar” by “latching trans rights legislation on to more popular legal reforms (eg marriage equality), rather than taking more combative, public- facing approaches”.

Thank you for posting this. The same old playlist exposed in the Denton report. Target youth and student groups. Latch radical unpopular policies onto uncontroversial legislation. Bypass the media. Avoid public debate. And also? Cite cost and unavailablility of doctors as excuse for no medical documentation required. That was used to get GRA through with no medical proof of intent for surgery.

By bypassing the media, lobbying politicians directly was key to success

avoid the type of rancorous public debate

Bypassing the media, avoiding public debate, piggybacking radical policies onto popular legislation. These are the tactics. And they constitute a threat to democracy. If the subject of proposed legislation incites rancorous debate? That suggests it’s controversial. And certainly not something which should become policy by stealth

It is the Denton report, which was produced on behalf of IGLYO.

Thank you for the clarification Lang. Was the Denton report leaked? How did it get into the media? Because its calculated, manipulative tactics really shines a blinding light on this

Looking at the other thread, I think the Law Society Gazette published a small piece about its publication, then Roll On Friday's interest was piqued so their journos actually read it, and wrote the big long article on it.

Thank you for this Lang. I tell you one thing, this forum and the informed posters on it have helped me decipher a lobby group I barely knew existed. It’s been absolutely eye opening and thanks to all of you

You can see why we find the politicos so toothgrindingly annoying, right? When they do deign to speak to us, they give us answers to questions we asked several years ago and they ignored, while we - and our granualar knowledge - have long since moved on. The Labour promise to maintain ss exemptions, when we're already past the point where that's practically possible, for example. It's embarrassing.
