Anyone have a copy of the Denton’s report?

[HagoftheNorth]

The report, for anyone who hasn’t seen it, was written by global law firm, Dentons. If I remember correctly, it covered strategies for ensuring unpopular trans-focussed legislation was effectively hidden from public scrutiny and debate, and/or tied to very popular legislation (eg gay marriage in Ireland).

In my understanding, this report was the main driver for the teaming of LGB with T - following a brief attempt to link T with Black Lives Matter.

I don’t know why it was written or who commissioned or paid for it (although I would very much like to if anyone can help?).

The report, and the covering press release has been removed from the Dentons website, and various other published links now error (although these may also have referred to the Dentons website rather than digital copies). Obviously I don’t know why Dentons would now not wish to publicise their (undoubtedly important) work, but perhaps one of you has, or can access or point to a pristine copy?

Thankyou - the power of FWR!

Thanks from me too PencilsInSpace. Was searching for my copy a couple of weeks ago.

One of the other parties to the report (who in the disclaimer also then distance themselves) is Thomson Reuters which owns a legal resources business where a large number of firms will get their template documents and advice on the law from. I think it is abysmal that a law firm and reputable legal resources firm, relied on by businesses, the public and other lawyers, would get their hands so dirty. I wonder if the document has been removed by Dentons because they now have concerns about the content?

Crouton that went through my mind too, and if so, what’s brought about a change

It did say many of the quiet bits out loud and emphasised the importance of targeting children and young people while avoiding democratic scrutiny. It seemed to be responsible for peaking a large number of journalists who once parroted the Stonewall line about the most vulnerable group ever.
