Hopefully Andrew Neil will take a look at this once he's got his head around everything.
If it's Chloe Cole's testimony to Congress that pulled him in to the public debate, the actions and words of GOSH following the Cass Review should be quite sobering.
This is a clear chronology of those who have already led or been a part of the medical scandal in the UK regrouping and getting ready for the next round. Hopefully they are about to find out that round two doesn't play out so well.

@ArabeIIaScott

We all know what happens when you ask questions.

You don't get answers.

@MrsOvertonsWindow

I agree

I have declined to sign it myself

Good for you. I can imagine that there must be an element of fear in doing that. So many supporters of this ideology use intimidation & bullying to enforce it.

That's a bizarre statement.

Never before have we seen so much hatred directed at the trans and non-binary community. And never before has the American ultra-conservative transphobic movement influenced UK culture to the degree it is doing right now.

I doubt they could come up with any evidence for this.

Discrimination is further compounded for trans people with intersecting identities, with voices of Black and Brown trans people often the first to be silenced, and those of trans women frequently left out of conversations around women’s rights.

Voices of transwomen are left out of conversations around women's rights because transwomen are men. They're treated the same as other men.

This a children’s hospital? Sermonising on the topic adult males who self describe as a member of the opposite sex? Because that’s their priority?

Fair enough but GOSH is the charity and not the actual hospital.

They raise the money. They don't make clinical decisions.

This absolutely worries me.

I've been struck by the dreaded migraines. Headaches so bad I go into the foetal position and scream while I wait for death.

I've been to the gp, who shrugs and says, yep classic migraine. And gives me a leaflet to a charity. I check out the charity and it all just sounds like pseudoscience and arm chair therapy and I can't understand why this is the best healthcare I can get. But the gp said i should... so... monkey see, monkey do...

All chronic illnesses now seem to have these charities with little to no medical background which give medical advice and people are directed to them by GPs. The leaflets give these charities an authority they should not have.

GOSH is the same to me. I'd follow any medical advice they post on their website because of the reputation of who they are associated to.

That is a lot of organisations on that list.
You wonder if there are enough trans kids to keep them all occupied.

Good point and it's absolutely chilling to think about it.

There aren't enough trans kids but grifters gotta grift hence the brain washing/cult behaviour all at the expense of children.

I was thinking this about therapists - I noticed a lot of them describe themselves as “advocates for trans kids” or similar. I couldn’t help wondering if the demand for trans kids exceeds the supply.

"Trans kids", especially girls, didn't exist (except for a tiny % of boys) until trans activists were allowed to go into schools, children's charities, the care system, girl guides etc - basically anywhere that children below the age of consent gather - and to gaslight them that their developing bodies were flawed and that puberty blockers and drugs could fix this.
Once children could be sold this lie and with the adults in these organisations foolishly enabling it, the social contagion spread. Children are "an open book" and once a powerful but dangerous idea is spread like this, many of them don't have the insight, skills or resilience to resist something they're told as fact.

Children have proved to be a massive money making opportunity for adult trans groups & individuals.

I had a child in hospital for surgery and I was trusting doctors with her life. It was terrifying. There were choices we all had to make with real consequences. I would be distraught if the doctors were asking for pronouns etc. It’s like being in a plane on a long distance flight and the pilot telling you he/she is a flatearther.

There are incredible shortages in the NHS at the moment. What a bloody waste of money spent on a PR team to do this.
