Coordinated by James Esses.

Finally.

The letter, co-ordinated by social campaigner James Esses, goes on to suggest that a public inquiry should examine “all institutions complicit in this harm”, including government departments, the NHS, private gender clinics, mental health bodies, schools and transgender campaign groups.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Esses said: “Society is, slowly but surely, beginning to wake up to the horrors caused in the name of gender ideology.
“Children and young people have been left scarred, emotionally and physically, in the name of gender ideology. Some have been left infertile. Others have lost parts of their bodies that they can never get back.
“As a society, we have failed in our duty of care towards children. We must secure justice for those who have been harmed. Crucially, we must ensure that no child again suffers the same fate.”

There is a petition for public enquiry here (it's been there for a while).
The letter might be something new, as far as I understand, and should add weight to previous requests and petitions.

Hold a statutory public inquiry into Gender Identity Ideology and Queer Theory - Petitions (parliament.uk)

A public enquiry is needed.

Particularly into the children's charities.
The BBC.
The psychology profession.
Schools .

These institutions and professions are not going to make changes without a scrutiny.

Esses' Telegraph article now online.

Society is, slowly but surely, beginning to wake up to the horrors caused in the name of gender ideology. Children have been harmed. Women have been erased. Free speech has been attacked. Reality has been undermined.
…
Equally, there are those out there who seek to keep us shackled to gender ideology. We witnessed this through the number of NHS clinics which withheld material from the ground-breaking Cass Review. Schools are even being advised by activist groups to ignore the government guidance for children questioning their gender within schools. Clearly, guidance and reviews are simply not enough.
That is why I, along with over 130 prominent signatories, have written to the Prime Minister, demanding a public inquiry into the failure of societal institutions to safeguard children from harm. An inquiry that considers these issues holistically is the only answer to an ideology that has managed to infiltrate an entire society. Crucially, a statutory public inquiry will be able to legally compel evidence and make concrete recommendations to ensure real change is brought about.

We have been calling for a public inquiry and are urging people to write to their own MPs. We wrote to Rishi last week.

A little off-thread, but I thought this was heartening.

Thank you -I'll use this. Let's see if this gets her arse into gear (thought I won't hold my breath).

I would add the NHS and the police to that list.

This is excellent news! Go, Norwich library staff! I can’t imagine those gruesome pictures and objects brought them any joy whatsoever in their time at work.

As for the response from Norwich Pride: yawn at “bigots”, “hateful” etc. They should borrow a thesaurus from the library.

Definitely.

Great thread but very very depressing too.

The couple of examples of the "art" that they showed online suggested a distinct lack of talent and originality.

I've seen plenty of pictures and sculptures that I, personally, didn't like, but at the same time I've been able to appreciate the talent, inspiration and hard work that has gone into them.

These are just - meh!

I read that as the staff were rebelling against the council leader’s criticism and doubling down that they were right to have the exhibition

You’re absolutely correct @Theeyeballsinthesky This is what comes of reading MN before drinking coffee.

I’ve just read the comment in the article by the Green councillor 🤦‍♀️

I've just had a little search, and the EDI Jester (someone I find rather irritating, but occasionally listen to to keep up with stuff) has said that the exhibition was removed at the instigation of women's groups - I can see where you are coming from, and I think you are probably right. It's not clear whether the staff demanded the closure or are annoyed about it. And I'm not much clearer after this TBH - he seems to contradict himself a couple of times.

The fact that even a councillor has spoken against it gives me hope.
