Stephanie Davies-Arai (Transgender Trend) is given British Empire Medal in Queen's Birthday Honours

[ChristinaXYZ]

"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.”"

Wow!

Such brilliant news! Many congratulations to Stephanie, much deserved.

👏👏👏

How typical - KMonty is leading the vicious reaction of the TRAs….

Good news that a brave woman has been recognised.

Excellent news, very pleased to hear this.

For services to children.

Wow. That's such vindication. Fantastic news.

Such fantastic news. So well deserved. Twitter is a bonfire.

Wonderful news and well and truly deserved.

Brilliant 👏

Well deserved and congratulations to Stephanie 💪💚🤍💜

Congratulations Stephanie, very well deserved, thank you for all your great work.

Well deserved recognition.

Brilliant news. She's been quietly determined with a single focus on children and their wellbeing.

Absolutely delighted about this. Stephanie really deserves it.

Great news.

What wonderful news. So richly deserved. National recognition for years of dedication to supporting parents and protecting children from a dreadful harm. Congratulations Stephanie, you fabulous woman and mother. 😘

Brilliant to see Stephanie's work recognised.

Wow congratulations! Well deserved!

I have to say I am staggered. In a but way. I wonder who put her forward, does anyone know? And why the Honours Committee went for it? After all, this is the same committee that gave Maria Miller a Damehood (and not the pantomime sort, sadly).

Also pleased as punch to see Northern Ireland abortion campaigner Sarah Ewart honoured (which will piss off Dame Arlene no end).

Maybe that's it - the committee went for actual balance, to reflect a diversity of opinion and campaigning interests in the democratic UK?

Anyway, good for Stephanie.

💐and 🍾for Stephanie.

Really pleased to read this - thank you for the link. It balances out the disturbing news of the person newly appointed to the CPS.

Very happy for Stephanie. I've had the honour of spending a couple of hours in her company listening to her talk and she is very wise, knowledgable and compassionate.

I know her & she’s a really lovely
person.

This is fantastic!
