I will never vote for a party that disrespects women.

Exactly this. The red flag is right there: a male person wanting to provide intimate care to a woman who wants a female care provider. If he wants to override her wishes — refuses to accept her 'no' — he's not a brilliant carer, he's an abuser.

1/ Alicia Kearns MP is proposing a Stonewall style 'conversion ban' amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill that I now call on her to withdraw. In the light of the Cass review's finding that these bans inhibit proper care for mainly gay/autistic children at gender clinics.

I've waiting years to see this sort of headline. Feels strange to see it finally in black and white.

Seeing a lot of criticism of the evidence informing the #CassReview . Exclusions, narrow view of methodology, etc.

My impression is the opposite, the review was generous.

These are vulnerable young people. We can’t lower standard of safety & effectiveness the NHS should require.

Ban on children’s puberty blockers to be enforced in private sector in England theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

It's like a Ponzi scheme, but with unevidenced medical guidelines. Still a ton of money in it for early investors, of course. Never forget that some of the people trying to discredit Dr Hilary Cass have a lot of financial skin in the game.

The explanation James lacks:

She’s requested female-only care.
That’s not you.

justin webb Likewise, all but one publisher turned down Kathleen Stock’s MATERIAL GIRLS and Helen Joyce’s TRANS. I still get a bit panicky thinking that those three books nearly didn’t see the light of day, because publishers were too captured or too cowardly to cover it.

Absolute, total, shameless lies. Your ex-CEO referred children to the Tavistock gender clinic. Mermaids has repeatedly claimed puberty blockers are reversible, sent out breast binders to girls as young as thirteen and insisted publicly that unless children are affirmed in their…

Fun, I love playing this game! My turn:

You should stick your opinion up your arse and set fire to it.

Exactly this. I won't be lectured on the 'toxicity' of the debate by men who believe exactly what I believe, but have been too cowardly to speak out. The truth is, they didn't fancy taking the hits I've taken, and don't want to admit it. 1/2

By “woman”, they mean “anyone who identifies as a woman”. Righto.

Adult GIC services in England are criticised for how young women 'can be prescribed testosterone after two consultations'.

Scotland - of course - goes one better and will dish it out at the first appointment.

Twenty years since Susan Evans first blew the whistle.

Everyone who condoned, facilitated or turned a blind eye to #NoDebate tactics should recognise that there have been consequences for vulnerable children and young people.
