When a child becomes "transgender" they are taking on an identity given to them by adults. The decision cannot be theirs as they cannot understand the meaning behind the identity.

Their childhood is being stolen away by those who would weaponise them to promote transgenderism.

It feels wrong to say "happy 50th" to a service you would rather did not need to exist.

But, in this imperfect world, we desperately need @RCCGlasgow & the amazing women who set it up.

So, our thanks to Rosemary & her first team as well as Isabelle, Claudia and all the others who have followed to support women at the most horrific times in their lives.

We are in awe and we thank you. heraldscotland.com/news/26706582.…

I spoke to detransitioner Philippa Roberts, who had a double mastectomy at 19 to live as β€˜Caspar’ for over six years.
She fears that the conversations she now has with women considering the same surgery could see her prosecuted if the Conversion Practices Bill passes. Gift link below ⬇️

Our very dear friend and colleague Claire Loneragan is remembered in the latest issue of The Frontline @EthelWrites

Claire will always be very much loved by us - and very sorely missed too. Rest in power Claire.

From battling the ocean to the battle for women’s rights. Thank you Tracy!
Thirty years ago today I announced the first ever all-female crew to attempt the Jules Verne Trophy. The non-stop round the world record we hoped to beat was 74 days! We were also the first all-female crew to race a maxi multihull; RSA was 74 ft with a top speed of 28 knots!

Is there a larger tell of a deeply misogynistic man then him externalising his (self) hatred and contempt into performing a vile caricature of a woman. A performance which then gives him an unfettered opportunity to insult, dominate and control.

It is so fecking obvious.

Replying to @jan_murray
@jan_murray Gender ideology is even more rife in Scottish schools 😳promoted by its leaders
Education Scotland promotes ideology over reality. Will Scotland’s education system ever get its integrity back?

Social transition of children is not a harmless, consequence-free activity.

Rather it starts the funnelling of children toward puberty blockers and thence cross sex hormones.

Social transition puts children on a path that once on, becomes increasingly difficult to get off.

It is clear many MPs have as little understanding of child development as they have of the proposed Bill.

This Bill is written as if children are mini-adults with a fixed gender identity, and that conversations within families are conducted at an adult-level of understanding.
So @RachelTaylorMP first thing: it's Falkner, not Faulkner. Attention to detail matters.
In the same vein, please explain where in the Bill we can find the "significant safeguards" to protect "legitimate - even challenging - conversations" with parents and faith leaders. Thanks.

A new law that risks criminalising parents who question whether their children are trans must be scrapped, MPs, peers and experts have demanded.
β€˜Gender’, as opposed to sex, is an anti-scientific myth. If a child with a penis announces that he is really a girl, parents and teachers have a positive duty to educate him in the scientific truth that he is a boy.
Of course no parent should use physical or psychological abuse for any reason. But if anyone should be prosecuted it is those who abuse their duty of care by encouraging children in the anti-scientific delusion that they can choose their own sex.

If you're a parent and the draft Conversion Practices Bill doesn't terrify you, you haven't yet understood what it could do to you and the people you love best.
