She promises total confidentiality. Direct message on Twitter or I suppose her email might be on The Times website. She's planning to write a piece about this.

Bump to make sure people see this!

Thanks for the bump!
I'll try to remember to bump for morning crowd because this could get interesting

Bump

Bumpety bump!

Thanks for flagging. I've not had this but my best mate at work has. Called a transphobe for raising legitimate safeguarding concerns around erosion of single-sex spaces for the work we do. I'll see if he wants to contribute.

I haven't experienced issues at work. Yet! I suspect it will come, though But if it does, it does. I've nailed my colours to the mast; no going back now.

Thanks for looking into this Janice.

I had an informal complaint made against me for wearing the woman definition lanyard at work. The person was offended as it was perceived to be transphobic. I agreed not to wear it so as not to cause offence, the implication being it would be escalated to a formal complaint if I carried on wearing it. I didn't hang my work badge from it I wore it as an accessory. Because it was only an informal complaint no investigation was carried out to discover if the definition of woman was transphobic.
I'll contact Janice.

BUMP for the evening shift.

Same - I suspect that the twitter people (and the bots) would come after me, then the people IRL, and I could lose my job, which is ironic because in theory I have a decent level of protection for free speech. But not about this, I don't think. I have very little confidence that my employer would stand behind me.

Haven't replied on twitter yet (I have a GC account on a separate device with a different email that I can't always access).

For healthcare professionals, social media guidance combined with "don't bring the profession into disrepute" codes of conduct, means open and honest posting (which would inevitably be reported by monitors) would likely be not just job ending, but career ending.

Look at the vitriol thrown at Suzanne Moore. Most health care workers don't have the resources to say fuckit.

We work in a truly Orwellian system.

This is a very quiet thread, I suspect very few people try expressing gender critical views at work.

It's true, everyone can see what happens to women who speak out, and know full well not to do it themselves.

I know a social worker who said very clearly "You don't talk about it" when I raised the trans child issue, wrt her line of work.

Janice has said she's been inundated

On twitter, I don't know her IRL (I wish!)
