Some of the demands sound kind of sensible, e.g. making it illegal to perform elective “corrective” surgeries on Intersex minors.
Shame about It is vital that transgender, non-binary and gender diverse minors are explicitly confirmed to have the right to Gillick competency, to access gender therapy and medical treatment without the requirement of parental consent.

And all the rest…

I imagine that Johnson will listen. He's well known for prioritising the opinions of penis owners over women. It's only his absolute incompetence that means we're not already living in some kind of dystopian anti woman society. He'd sell woman down the river in a heartbeat if it didn't require all that pesky paperwork.
Just got to hope his laziness is greater than his lack of ethics.

I think this is from the protest as well. Link shows video footage.

Nice badge Envy 🤢

yourhairiswinterfire · 06/08/2021 23:27

A grown man dressed like a little girl, wearing a badge that says 'Slut'.

Lovely Hmm

FemaleAndLearning · 06/08/2021 23:35

Strange they just added a load of non trans issues on at the end about racism, disability and autism.
A few items from the list:
Call for LGB alliance to have its charity status undone
Calls for sacking if Liz Truss.
Calls for Stonewall to be in all places throughout government, police etc.
Calls for children to change their bodies without parental consent.
Calls for self ID that was promised by a previous PM.
Calls for the right to be in sex segregated space of their choice.
Calls for more gender neutral (aka mixed sex) spaces.

Mixing together issues that are completely unrelated - or only related because they conflict with each other - so that if you object to something specific they can claim you're objecting to everything and are therefore xyzphobic. Forced teaming.

Peter Tatchell was there, inevitably. No sign of OJ as far as I can see - too busy writing incoherant rants I suppose.

Is it true they used to force male prisoners to dress like the slut-creature as a punishment? And now they're doing it by choice, in public.

yourhairiswinterfire · 07/08/2021 00:07

Mainly dressed as baby girls, too. Rarely ever see them dressing as little boys...

Rubs eyes. Squints. Rubs eyes again. Squints harder. Claws eyes out...

somethinginoffensive · 07/08/2021 01:02

Looked their Twitter up, am blocked already. Funny how they had me blocked when I'd never heard of them.

NiceGerbil · 07/08/2021 01:05

Massive contradiction-

'
It is vital that transgender, non-binary and gender diverse minors are explicitly confirmed to have the right to Gillick competency, to access gender therapy and medical treatment without the requirement of parental consent.'

'dedicated to protecting marginalised people by making it illegal to perform elective “corrective” surgeries on Intersex minors. '

???!!!???

MurielSpriggs · 07/08/2021 01:08

The demands and the incantations are batshit, but I do very much like the poem on her banner Grin

NiceGerbil · 07/08/2021 01:10

Also IMO. If an older child - teenager age who was born with a DSD wants surgery then the child family and doc should talk it through carefully.

For a child secondary age to want to have surgery to alter the look of their genitals, and to a level that is not major. Then that's totally reasonable imo. These children still get changed, may want to play team sports with all the communal changing. Their feelings about looking different could have a big impact on confidence and self esteem. And then there's dating.

And the people to comment on all of this are the DSD orgs. It has nothing to do with trans. It's pure appropriation.

uktrippin · 07/08/2021 01:13

@NiceGerbil what kind of genital surgery to an undeveloped teenage body is "not major"?

NiceGerbil · 07/08/2021 01:16

Well I don't think this is the thread to discuss it but happy to do so on a different thread if you would like.

uktrippin · 07/08/2021 01:17

You brought it up on this thread. Why isn't it the right thread to discuss it on?

I'm genuinely curious to know your view

TartanBonnet · 07/08/2021 01:22

@StuffLikeThat

Believe it or not, that last picture is a biological woman. Goodness knows why she's done that to herself. ThanielTrashCat is her Twitter handle

I've just looked at their Twitter feed. The amount of young women posted their support makes me weep.

Although I do feel desperately sorry for anyone who dresses like that and has a slut badge. I can imagine there wouldn't be a happy back story to their life.

Because it will derail massively!

Only takes a sec to start a thread happy to post.

Torvean · 07/08/2021 01:44

They are the most entitled group in society.

I'm sorry but after Covid services need to catch up. They need to wait their turn like everyone else.

Demanding legal documents as and when is laughable.

I read that a lot of LGB ppl have turned away from Stonewall due to Trans ideology.

And the throw in at the end about racism, care of the elderly and not for resus forms for ppl with autism???

They're all me,me,me.
