A good time for a thread to note all the companies, charities and celebrities that jumped onto the Trans bandwagon without any care for the children being harmed [title edited]

So we (and they) don't forget and to assist any journalists who are working on stories. I'll get the ball rolling:

• Starbucks with their huge support for Mermaids - whatsyourname-starbucks-mermaids-cookie
• Dentons with their game plan for lobby groups to ensure children and young people were well and truly pulled into the trans movement - https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5048558-now-the-cass-report-is-out-it-may-be-time-to-revisit-the-part-the-dentons-advice-played-in-all-of-this-does-anyone-have-a-copy?reply=134483032

There's a petition re the Guides if anyone is interested. It is on the Citizen Go GB website. https://www.citizengo.org/en-gb

Oh my god - GG has a badge with the whole shebang flag (rainbow extender plus O). What the he’ll do the girls have to do to get that one?

so we’ve gone from knitting and homemaking (back in the day) to homophobia and misogyny badge?

I tried very hard to forget that Alice Roberts went TWAW. Just sad that, really.

Alice Roberts?? Please no 😞

I have to try and turn a blind eye to GG as DD loves it and it does her a lot of good. Thankfully the girls are blissfully unaware of all this and this far it just hasn't been an issue, in our unit at least. That's not to say I'm not utterly appalled with GG on a national level.

GG?

Girl Guiding

Cultural Marxism at its best . Dismantling the nuclear family and building a utopia of bots. How utterly disgraceful this institution has also succumbed to the insanity. We are pretty much doomed as a species. Maybe Mother Nature by proxy is intervening to reset life on earth. It’s all fucked let’s face it.

Please don't use "Cultural Marxism," it's Nazi era code for "The Jews."

I try to ignore it, because I really like her books and TV programmes. But every time she refers to a female skeleton I mentally scream “OH SO YOU KNOW WHAT A WOMAN IS NOW, DO YOU ALICE?”

I have a mutual acquaintance with her and apparently she’s very nice so I try to let the TWAW wash over me.

Yes. On their vans. Unmistakable surgery scars where breasts should have been. As a cartoon, FFS.

I can’t see past it once someone says they believe TWAW. They’ve lost credibility.

I don’t think Alice Roberts said TWAW but she did say something about sex not being a straightforward binary.

I think she did - I’m guessing there will be a thread about it.

She also goads religious people (didn’t she send out snippy tweets on Easter?) - so much for being ‘humanitarian’.

Rainbows are the youngest members of girl guides and have been around for at least 35 years I think . Unless you have found a trans badge syllabus in which case I may shriek loudly ….

This badge. I remember Rainbow Guides first starting when I was a Girl Guide myself.

All the libraries doing drag Queen story hour for small children.

The Tate in its teaching materials and also doing drag Queen story time.

I’m a Samaritan and either your training was terrible or you misunderstood. We can rarely transfer callers, because of practical reasons about the set-ups of our rooms, but we would never ever insist on a female caller being moved to a man. And we are also explicitly told to never move a man to a female Samaritan, because why would a male caller need that (unless for sexual, and thus call-ending, reasons)?

Likewise, we don’t even ask the sex of a caller, let alone pronouns.

Again, I’m not sure if you had terrible training, but this sounds a bit like a conscious and untrue slur. (Really fucking hate Samaritans’ social media posturing and lying around trans stuff, though. I console myself that the vast majority of callers don’t ever talk about those issues though, and we’re there for them.)

Ravelry seems to be a special case. The website itself is not affected much, except for a few rainbow smileys/icons on offer and a pronouns field in the user profile. One of the founders decided to transition a few years back, and it caused something of a meltdown behind the scenes. That founder is still part of their team, but has no contact with the user population anymore. It seems that the team decided to remain strictly focused on knitting and crocheting. My impression at least, as a semi regular.

Add to that Screwfix and B&Q who put the flags out every June. Toolstation annoy me based on how they treat female employees being sexually harassed by male customers, Homebase seem to be sensible.

Boots, Superdrug and Barry M.

British Library. <sigh>

Action Aid UK, for supposedly wanting to stop young girls in developing countries being forced into marriage and undergoing FGM, but forgetting what the words 'woman' and 'girl' mean.

Charlize Theron threatening to beat up women for not supporting drag queens sexualising children, Cupid Stunt!

What?
