Mixed sex changing rooms in a Brighton secondary school - part 3 - we're really cooking now

[SingleSexSpacesInSchools]

Hello friends.

I'll let the press do the talking...

rabid

Dearie me.

How interesting. I read your comment until "the true psychology at work here" bit, and thought, absolutely, that is exactly what the school are doing. They are gaslighting girls, telling them that the evidence of their eyes and ears and everything they know intellectually and instinctively is wrong, and that they have to obey and accept another's reality as their own.

And then I got to "rabid anti-trans" etc.

Rational stance - that's what those girls were taking.

Inclusive - not the be and end all of things to aspire to. If you include anything in a category to which it does not belong, you do not end up with a positive. All you have done is destroy the category by blowing it wide open.

"We...our posts"

Are you a group?

@ThePeachPombear I am rabidly obsessed with my daughter's safety and dignity, yes, if you find a father who isn't I'll show you a father who shouldn't be a parent.

And no - I am not capable of including males inside the term females, as that would be - irrational.

As for being hateful - I'll give you the one chance to take that back and edit it before me, and likely everyone, asks for your post to be removed.

It's the Borg TRA collective.

As a side note I am bloody annoyed that a post I made to say thank you to you all has been hijacked by a pillock.

Or possibly more than one pillock 🙂

Typical hysterical platitude.

To every sane person, the use of the term "rabid anti-trans ideological stance" in this context is very obviously neither overstated nor hyperbolic; you labour under that delusion because it is a stance to which you are fiercely - quite possibly rabidly and ideologically - opposed and so in your fevered delusion you attempt to conflate it. But you are, very clearly, tilting at windmills, dear.

They're definitely boys. They are male, and too young for any legal recognition as "women", whether or not you then want to argue that their gender identity should be more important than their sex.

Just wanted to repost this as it was immediately followed with attempts to disrupt and distract.

What's hysterical or rabid? Next you'll want people to believe black is white, the sky is green or that the earth is flat.

Dear.

I'd like to suggest that our pastel friend's posts are not reported. They're such a good example of the thinking.

Hah. Yup, definitely one of the more obvious attempts to disrupt useful discussion.

I have to say though, I'm chuffed with "fevered delusion" - such a good phrase, and spot on re: my feelings about today's to-do list - and also pleased by how unusually explicit the DARVO is here for any lurkers...

...but otherwise apologise for encouraging this particular visitor!

Schools, you and your daughter are amazing. Please pass on this hysterically rabid little cat's best wishes to her.

You seem incapable of responding to the point.

Dear.

We agree.

Highlighting the delusional thinking of the OP and, of course, the Usual Suspects on this board makes for a useful reference point; responses to statements often say a lot more than the original statement, don't you agree?

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Dear.

Are you absolutely sure about that? Please develop that point.

This is it, really, isn’t it? My DH and I are rabid in our determination to protect our child and ensure at 21 (this week) she still doesn’t get access to surgery and hormones. Without our support for transitioning, our utter refusal to do anything but love her unconditionally as she physically is, she rails against us but will not actually go ahead with appointments at the Tavistock without us. This tells me that she is ambivalent, immature, scared and on some level knows the likelihood is that it won’t fix her. Even before the recent Finnish study.

We have had to make some decisions that she does not agree with in the hope that it keeps her alive and intact long enough to realise it is indepth psychiatric therapy she needs for her dysphoria and support for her very high needs as an AuDHDer with anxiety, depression and past/recurrent suicidal ideation etc. I am appalled that a person with an extensive psychiatric history can ever be considered for surgical intervention at all. And until this ideology is expunged from our schools and institutions, vulnerable young women like my child will continue to be exposed.

I cannot thank you and your daughter enough for what you are doing. It may prevent other families ending up on our journey, it may ensure that vulnerable YP like my child are never exposed, never at risk. It may ultimately save lives if cases like yours/hers ultimately lead to the dismantling of this movement and it’s influence on schools and the NHS.

On the contrary, dear.

We've made our points, dear. The fact you don't like them, dear, because they go against your delusional thinking don't stop them being facts.
You seem incapable of responding in a manner conducive to thoughtful discussion.

Dear.

Collective term?

A parcel of pillocks?
A plethora of pillocks?
A plentitude of pillocks?

Or, sadly non-alliterative, a rabidity of pillocks?

Blah, blah, blah.

Well done for an impassioned response, but you're missing the crucial question; in the context of this thread, protect your child from what, precisely?

If the answer is, as we suspect, from dangers that you perceive to be present due to your own biases, then it might be time for a little self-reflection...

No thread is safe, eh? Such a shame.
