Not sure if it is today or next week. Do we know if this is open like the tribunals?

BB - I don't have the data but I would dispute that assertion.

🤣🤣🤣

These people!!

"I disagree. I can't tell you how, why, or with what information, but I dooo."

The muppetry never ceases to amaze me.

Same as yesterday.

''I haven't seen the information that clinicians have access to, but I'm going to disagree with their interpretation of that information anyway''.

🤦

Do all three of these witnesses think that 'tiny numbers' in the overall UK population is going to work when they completely disregard the needs of children being medicalised?

This is n+1 in action in the court room.

BB - our data says that most people who go through transition are not straight at the end.
KM - are these girls going through transition to avoid homophobia or societal pressure?
BB - that idea is absolutely laughable that someone would go through transition to avoid that.

Anyone else feeling that dissonance alarm going off....

Isn't Scotland Rape Crisis run by a transwoman? No wonder they have no concerns.

It’s Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre that has a trans Identifying man has CEO.

Then the guy's life experience is worryingly narrow and limited.....

IcakethereforeIam · 13/09/2022 12:56

We don't know why they're transitioning, but it's not that!

Helleofabore · 13/09/2022 13:02

KM - I will ask again, do you disagree that it is unreasonable for an LGBA charity to worry about what is happening to lesbian girls?
BB - it is too specialised and technical for them.

Good god.

Bell is saying that Mermaids aren't all that interested in the sexual orientation of the huge increase of girls referring to GIDS, repeats that puberty blockers are just temporary and puberty will resume with stopping that treatment (no discussion on bones etc) and then tells another charity it shouldn't be focusing on said girls.... because.... Mermaids said so...

The bit after that

All the of the lesbians in my committee agree, this will not diminish them.

Which lesbians is he talking of & which committee? Who are the lesbians elected to Parliament who are telling JN that males claiming to be lesbians doesn't diminish what a lesbian is?

Not Joanna Cherry.

Long-term resident of Denmark here. Lots of nudity in changing rooms, but these are single sex facilities. Local sports centre has notices up saying kids older than I think it was 7/8 have to change in facilities of their sex. There are also a couple of family changing rooms for use if parent not happy for kid to be on their own. Some nudist beaches, but these are few and far between and people are generally discreet if sunbathing topless. Haven't ever seen any showing off or flashing.

And what's the current state of play on the trans debate in Denmark?

ImherewithBoudica · 13/09/2022 13:23

It's a frequent chorus of TRAs here currently.

To insist that because their personal circle does not include anyone saying what lesbians/other women say, that it isn't real and doesn't happen. While refusing to acknowledge that anyone in their circle who disagreed was excommunicated and driven out yonks ago so of course there isn't. Head so far up bum that no contact with reality remains.

I know, I'm not an expert

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/09/2022 13:37

It should only be dealt with by people who know things
