"On Wednesday, Ms Davies-Arai said: “I’m really honoured and thrilled to be recognised for my work. It is a huge honour and I’m quite knocked out by it and very grateful to everyone who nominated me.

“I hope it indicates a change in opinion about the treatment of children with gender dysphoria and is a recognition of my work, which has been wrongly called transphobic or bigoted.

“What I saw was a one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with these children, which risks sending them towards a medical pathway.

“One of my concerns was the alternative wasn’t talked about. Everyone should be open to debate; it’s healthy. Silencing debate by calling evidence-based approaches ‘bigoted or transphobic’ is very dangerous.”"

Stephanie Davies-Arai has been so courageous and laser-focused in her advocacy for the wellbeing of children.

It's naive to think that this will be universally well-received but I am so pleased with what this means for her.

Very well deserved 😀

Brain fog - it is actually the British Empire Medal - but the main thing is the honour well deserved for her and helps to establish further as mainstream those who question the no-debate views.

Marvellous and absolutely deserved appreciation for everything this brilliant advocate has done and will continue to do.

(Whilst this honour is thoroughly merited I'm still more than a bit gobsmacked - maybe the tide really is turning!)

Shitting nora. For the first and last time i will say "God Save the Queen"

Really good news 💐.
Guess what Nancy Kelley of Stonewall said in the same article?
Nancy Kelley, the chief executive of Stonewall, called the announcement a “horrifying… transphobic moral panic”.

rogdmum · 01/06/2022 23:16

So well deserved! She’s given me so much personal support over the past few years. Amazing woman!

Wonderful news

BenCooperisaGod · 01/06/2022 23:23

Sorry Nancy, i don't think it is good form to throw your toys out of your pram at the queen on her special jubilee. Just sayin.
