Pretty shocking but it seems they think they're right.

There is huge social contagion, online grooming is massive, and schools and organisations working with children and young people have been infiltrated by those pushing gender ideology.

Including charities whose aim is to support severely disabled children.

This charity is part of this problem. The people in the charity pushing this agenda need to be stopped.

No firstly, she said that her child will be calling anyone they think looks like a girl, a girl, which is a problem. She's essentially telling her son that her views on sex and gender supersede anyone else's reality. So if I am a boy with long hair, her son will be calling me a girl if he associates long hair solely with females. He will be calling any girls with short hair and a liking for physical activity a boy.

Then, instead of not answering the question, she found it appropriate to voice her socio-political views on a form. This shows that her level of self control is so low that she cannot recognise where it is appropriate to voice her views, and when she just needs to fill out a form.

When you try and weaponise your child into being your little political parrot, it is highly unfair on them and can even become abusive.

This is an ironic post surely?! 😂😂

’She's essentially telling her son that her views on sex and gender supersede anyone else's reality’ There is no reality involved in GI, people can’t change sex, it is immutable and binary.

’Then, instead of not answering the question, she found it appropriate to voice her socio-political views on a form’ The charity voiced their socio political views on a form, which are not based on truth or facts, and just bully anyone who has a grasp on reality to go along with it.

’When you try and weaponise your child into being your little political parrot, it is highly unfair on them and can even become abusive.’ How can it be weaponising your child when what you are teaching them is factual, reality based biological truth?

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

Hmmm...

Man declares his pronouns are she/her.

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

She/her follows you into the women's changing room.

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

While you're in the women's toilets she/her asks you for a tampon.

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

A few months later, police contact you because explicit videos of you peeing have been found on she/her's hard drive. Or perhaps you're a nurse and the police are contacting you because a woman on your ward has been raped, and the only penis around at that time was the one attached to the she/her's body.

If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

At what point is it appropriate to say "No. Stop."?

How about those of us actually concerned with safeguarding and women's rights tell you If you don't like it, cool, move along - you don't need to. Just keep your opinions to yourself! Simple.

So these residential camps for children, how are the facilities arranged for children claiming to be the opposite sex? Sleeping, changing, washing, etc?

I think we can guess can't we given their attitude.

If you believe men can be women it's perfectly reasonable for a male member of staff to help little girls in the toilet or to undress. No need to be chaperoned even because "he told us he feels quite feminine and he has make-up on which proves it"

And of course a 17yo boy who asks nicely if he can shower with 8yo girls must be allowed to.

The one broken part in the mental mechanism that makes decisions makes every decision problematic and should disqualify people who are broken in this way from any position of responsibility.

yep. They segregate by 'gender', which means that they acknowledge the need for single sex spaces and the risks of mixed sex spaces, but pretend that those needs and risks are negated if somebody decides to identify out of being a risk.

Actually if you look at the suicide rate for trans teens you'll see that it is a very real issue - and minimising it just because it doesn't suit your agenda is disgusting. Having worked with children within mental health it's heartbreaking to see how people like you make these kids feel - you're an awful human being if you think that's ok. No if's, and's or but's about that.
If you don't have a problem with your nasty views and comments making a child CS then you are monstrous.

Do fully explain how exactly a teen identifying as the opposite of their genetic make up "reinforces damaging socially-constructed stereotypes, and when it ignores the ways in which biological sex shapes both experience and oppression in real life, and seeks to erase our ability to speak about that"?
Some of these people have identified since they were 4-6years old, if it's affect a biological male or female it's affected them, and to deny that is pure ignorance.

I'd also love to know how you know what gender a person is? Do you think you've got the ultimate x-ray vision and you're going to spy through their clothes?!
It honestly laughable.

What you're actually saying is you won't respect a trans persons pronouns unless you can't tell the difference - which feeds right back into the point that it does not affect you! - not in your every day life, not to such an extent that you would be valid in being so hateful.
It only bothers you when you believe you can tell the difference - god help that bigger set, more masculine looking women who will have ignorant fools referring to them as male or trans when they simply look different to a "typical" female.

Mind blowing that so many people can't hear how stupid that is! "Oh it's ok for that man to be trans and for me to call him a man because he's got a beard and no breast - but if I got an incline he was born with a different gender identity I'd insist on calling him her"
That the reality of it - and that's why your whole view is ridiculous!

I’ve just filled in three bingo cards reading this post, it’s exhausting. The amount of emotional blackmail on display leads me to believe you must be about 15. I have no interest in discovering someone’s gender, as it’s a social construct designed to elevate boring people to interesting, and failing incidentally. I have however, never failed to correctly sex someone, and I do that by using my eyes. You should try it, it’s really easy.

RapidOnsetGenderCritic · 31/08/2025 17:12

Ihavetoask · 31/08/2025 10:28

I dont think that works because we do all have pronouns. It is the mother's view that his pronouns should be obvious because he's stated his gender.

It would be more like a Christian camp asking attendees if they believe Jesus is the son of God and a parent asking if they're really asking a Christian child that question because they think that belief is fundamental for Christians. Which most do, there are some fringe denominations where it isnt as important.

Do we all "have pronouns"? The pronouns that you use about me are your pronouns as far as I'm concerned - they will normally be used by you automatically without conscious thought, based on what you know and have observed. As you haven't seen me and probably haven't seen my (too) many previous posts, I'm guessing you don't have any information about my sex or any gender identity I might have. So if you were to say to a friend "that ROGC on Mumsnet is talking rubbish, [insert pronoun here] is really annoying", you would either guess "she" or "he", or use the singular "they" that people tend to use when they don't know which pronoun to use. In my opinion, any of those choices would be perfectly reasonable.

If you saw me or a photo of me, you would undoubtedly use "he" as in my case that is totally obvious. You would not use "he" because my pronouns are "he/him", but as a convenient usage of language; if you consciously thought which pronoun to use, it would be entirely your choice - unless I put pressure on you to use what I would like you to use. But your pronouns to refer to me do not belong to me, they belong to you. You are not borrowing "my" pronouns, you are using your pronouns, your words, your language.

Likely because the ward list said there were only females and nobody checked beyond that. I see that more like someone saying that it was an Irish man but as everyone listed was born in England, they assumed there was nobody Irish on the ward and ignored the fact that someone had emigrated to Ireland as a child.

You think the medical staff didn’t know there was a man on the ward? Sure. Absolutely. Definitely. I mean, there’s just no way to tell is there?

So if a crossdressing man tells a child that he is a woman, the child should just accept it?

Seriously, can you not see any problems with this?

Well we do have pronouns that are appropriate for us and those may need clarifying at times. Especially today, in the ways we communicate, it may not always be clear whether someone is male or female. Such as right now online.

If someone was referring to me and said "he said", it would be fine for me to say that those aren't my pronouns because I am a woman.

‘Especially today, in the ways we communicate, it may not always be clear whether someone is male or female. Such as right now online.’

It funny, because right now, I’m not actually finding it unclear at all. It seems pretty obvious.

Dont make these sort of illogical leaps. It insults us all.

This is a quote from an exact case that happened. It's not an illogical leap. It was a real life example of how a woman was gaslit into believing she couldn't have been raped on a hospital ward as there no men present. She was raped by a trans woman aka a trans identifying male which they established after watching the CCTV footage.

I'm simply not defending this parent making her child's chance at respite and recreation about her views.

She was making it about her child’s safety, which is what any parent would and should do. Imagine believing that there are acceptable circumstances when you would allow and validate strangers either lying to your child, or telling your child to lie. Unbelievable. This ideology rots people’s brains.

Feminism is about equity for women - not about spouting hate - so maybe you're the person who's in the wrong place.

None of what you've just said actually has anything to do with feminism - this is akin to religious people using outdated texts in order to persecute gay people...but you'd probably think that was reasonable too 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

I will never remove myself from a place that is in dire need to perspective and education- because ignorance will not be bliss, it will be harmful.

So jump down off your soapbox until you've got something sensible to say.

Equity for female people.

The clue's in the name.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 31/08/2025 13:42

Cor

it appears that ‘making a fuss’ is such a heinous crime that to avoid it you should put your child in a situation where spaces that are single sex for the preservation of privacy, safety and dignity may summarily be made mixed sex, and where moreover those In positions of power over your child may lie to them and encourage them to ignore their own instincts about the sex of those they interact with.

who knew that making a fuss was so bad?

It’s just another way of isolating women and children and stripping away their rights, just be nice, kind, don’t upset people etc etc. It’s a gift to every predatory man out there.

Given women such as Myra Hindley and Rose West, sadly we shouldn't tell our daughters to put themselves into a vulnerable situation with women either.

Those two are the exceptions to the rule, 98% of sexual crimes are carried out by men.

JellySaurus · 31/08/2025 17:35

If someone was referring to me and said "he said", it would be fine for me to say that those aren't my pronouns because I am a woman.

Nobody would say that unless they been never in gender identity. Any ordinary, rational woman would simply say "I'm a woman" without any of the 'my pronouns' nonsense.

'My pronouns' - what complete and utter nonsense. My pronouns are the ones I utter about myself. Telling other people what pronouns to use, particularly telling others to deny the evidence of their senses and use incorrect, wrong-sex pronouns, is nothing more than coercive control.

JellySaurus · 31/08/2025 17:36

Nobody would say that unless they believed in gender identity.

SouthWamses · 31/08/2025 17:39

it does not affect you!**

Good. You will pleased to know that I won’t let it affect me - I will continue to demand proper safeguarding, tell trans identified men to stay out of women’s spaces and sport, demand female language is reserved for women and girls, that we are called women and girls and refuse to use wrong-sexed ‘preferred pronouns’. That is what you mean isn’t it? That men who identify as trans will use male spaces, sports and language and won’t impact on women? That disability clubs like this won’t try to indoctrinate our children?

AnSolas · 31/08/2025 14:34

You are claiming that you would not have a problem with your child
• being taught to lie to you
• being told-off or sanctioned for correctly sexing a child
• being instructed by adults to obey instructions without question when you know said staff would openly lie knowing your child understood they were being lied to.

And you dont see any safeguarding problems wih that or with organisations who have those actions as core ethos values.

Who is bei g taught to lie to me? I'm sorry I'm just not fluent in all this hyperbole.

No firstly, she said that her child will be calling anyone they think looks like a girl, a girl, which is a problem.

So if I am a boy with long hair, her son will be calling me a girl if he associates long hair solely with females. He will be calling any girls with short hair and a liking for physical activity a boy.

I've picking up on an underlying presumption that disabled children are less likely to be able to determine sex than other children. First of all, disability is a catch-all word that does not necessarily mean the person's cognitive capacity is affected.

Secondly, amongst those whose disability does affect their cognitive capacity, I find that people with significant learning disabilities may find it easier to recognise another person's sex! Simply because their learning disabilities meant they have never learnt any misleading generalisations about long hair.

For example, I have seen such a person with learning disabilities instantly recognise a man as a man, despite the man's long hair, because he went by what he saw. At no level does he consciously or subconsciously think "human with long hair, must be a woman because mum and dad told only women have long hair".

Should the long-haired man actually identify as trans, it would cause this disabled man distress and confusion to be told that he had to pretend he thought the long-haired man was a woman. I don't think he's capable of it to be honest.

nutmeg7 · 31/08/2025 17:46

Agree with @JellySaurus .

Pronouns are a function of the language of the person speaking. If their native language uses sexed third person pronouns, that is what they automatically reach for.

Saying “what are your pronouns?” is a coded way of asking “do you identify as being a member of the opposite sex?”

Trans people use the explicit statement of “their” pronouns to tell people that they want to be seen as the opposite sex.

It is only necessary because most people will otherwise read them as their natal sex. It is an explicit instruction to join in a collective pretence.

Expecting the level of complex game-playing from disabled children is unrealistic.

Yep. However, women on this board have, over the years, helped to inform people about safeguarding, and help prompt people to consider why it's important, why/how people try to circumvent it, what the risks are, etc.

One of the main things I've learned is that safeguarding is never 'done'. It's always necessary to keep asking questions, challenging narratives, educating, informing, etc. (oneself as much as others)
