And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through…
My youngest has just received his first bit of real hate at school for having a Transgender parent.
Talking to him on the phone, listening to his tears, having him pay the price for me. Society can not be this hateful and expect it’s problems to get solved.
John has donated 375 works by more than 125 artists. They wanted to name a wing after him. Being John he Insisted on the bathrooms, with 1 small caveat…. They were christened by a trans lady, & not just any trans lady, the fantastic Elizabeth Coffey Williams love you sister xxx
So after a bad week, with little support, my wife asked me this…
Please take a minute, let it sink in.
If you’re Trans I know you are asking the same thing.
Hi
@KemiBadenoch
please provide a list of LGBT groups you have ‘engaged extensively’ with as we have been unable to find any other than
@AllianceLGB
which most LGBT groups describe as a hate group.
Too many people do not understand the law when it comes to self-ID. I have engaged extensively with LGBT groups in my role as Minister for Women & Equalities. But many of these groups support self-ID, which is not Govt policy.
Stonewall do not decide the law of this country.
Hi
@Dawn_French
just read this article I would love you to come and meet some of the Trans kids I work with You’ll find them eloquent, balanced & explain exactly what the issues are
You’re welcome anytime, message me
Sorry no you can’t bring a friend 😂
@theatregirl2221
Isn’t amazing how this sort of thing only happens to gender criticals, absolutely amazing!
I’m not saying it’s untrue, just that the correlation between these incidents and them happening to GC’s is incredulous, they never happen to others I wonder why that is?
We now see the words of Thatcher as shameful.
Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay.
– Margaret Thatcher, October 1987
Have to say it’s jolly decent of
@DreyfusJames
to admit his part in skyrocketing hate crime even if the ‘you made us do its defence gives a slightly creepy air.
Hey
@DailyMailUK
if I rob a bank and can get out in nine minutes, and my firearm is kept in a Tupperware box, is that not counted as a crime?
P.S. We are not at war!
Three years on HRT tomorrow
We hear a lot from GC about big phama, how we ruin our lives & all that trash but ask yourselves the question who looks happier & healthier?
Love you

Thanks to

It’s understandable

he is none to good with numbers as a few were added to his book sales as well.
Whatever
@SkyNews
would like you to think teachers don’t get sacked for refusing to use ‘chosen pronouns’ they get sacked for mocking and bullying students which is what happened in this case.
As Sky have the comments turned off one can only assume they know the reality.
For those of you going to Question Time tonight a small reminder of one of the guests Gender Critical views.

Absolutely horrendous service from

@speakoutsister
Since The Cass Report came out I’ve personally seen death threats go through the roof, had rape threats, been called all sorts of vile names, there have been calls for me to be tried & jailed, all because I support Trans kids.
Cass unleashed the very worst of society .
I was such a fan of
@Tony_Robinson
back in the 80’s, his version of Odysseus was a safe haven for a Trans kid who was being ripped apart by people who who thought she should not exist
To see him standing with the same bigotry that nearly destroyed me then is really heartbreaking
@DehennaDavison
My Trans child has had some of Rishi’s word quoted to her verbatim while travelling on the school bus.
Imagine being trapped in a confined space with such hostility.
Parliament MUST do better.
Thanks to
@theJeremyVine
&
@BBCRadio2
for having me on to talk about the phenomenal amount of hate I received as a Trans person & parent of a Trans child.
Hate is going to ramp up on all sides in the wake of the publication of
#CassReport
please stay safe everyone!
Today we particularly remember the 392 people from 43 countries who lost their lives because of anti-trans prejudice between 1st Oct 2022 and 30th Sept 2023.
I empathise I really do! This is the lived experience of many Trans people.
Trans people are demonised daily, directly impacting their safety in public.
If
@Hilary_Cass
now realises some of the problem, what are we collectively going to do about it?
@sarahbeeny
Sorry
@sarahbeeny
but your highly privileged lifestyle is showing.
Many 18 years olds have to work weekends to finance their education, they don’t have a rich mum to cover them.
Perhaps your kids rock band ‘Entitled Sons’ is not so tongue in cheek.
A question
@theJeremyVine
asked me yesterday on his show was:
‘If you gave up a claim on say sports rights, maybe the other side would comprise more?’
If we abandon sports or social spaces, does anyone think that GC’s would yield healthcare, or education spaces?
@sullivansa1
Cass is actually collapsing faster the
@trussliz
government! Perhaps it’s time we look to how we can provide world class healthcare to ALL the Trans community, rather than putting our hands over ears and pretending Trans people will go away.
One of the York review papers accompanying the Cass review, "Masculinising and feminising hormone interventions for adolescents experiencing gender dysphoria or incongruence: a systematic review", makes a false statement about one of their cited studies.
@RachelRileyRR
@jk_rowling
Rachel I respect you, but there is absolutely no way that anyone can take JK claims that she supports trans rights seriously.
Perhaps now is the time for you to engage with the trans community and discover why they are so upset and the specific problems the community face. X
Once
#BriannaGheyVigil
’s are done, please can we ask the allies who came to the vigils to KEEP SHOWING UP.
There’s going to be protests, events, talks, & prides across the country come along. Speak up. Call out the poor behaviour. Check on your Trans friends.
Help create change!
@AidanCTweets
What is most worrying is they don’t see the complexities and the consequences.
What happens if the ‘father’ asserts ‘his’ rights? What happens if the listed mother dies or is in hospital long term?
This provided a degree of stability for couples.
I’m getting calls & messages from Medway parents who’s Trans children r being bullied on school buses by other students
rhetoric
@RishiSunak
used against Trans people is being recycled & weaponised against vulnerable youth often word 4 word local
@Conservatives
should be ashamed
So Rosie Duffield agrees with Maya Forstater that MP’s should not block the electorate. However despite never having spoken to or interacted with Rosie I appear to be blocked.
Hypocrisy.
@alicemydaughter
@jk_rowling
As many in the community know Lucy and I have not seen eye to eye in the past.
Lucy & her wife have created support networks beyond the Trans community, they really look out for people.
Lucy has created sports teams, events & a stack of other things.
Hate is easy, help is hard
In all this talk about the
@BBC
&
@lily_cade
there is something they don’t want to face. Many cis women are in happy relationships with trans 🏳️⚧️ women. This is deeply inconvenient for the anti trans brigade. So they platform the liars, the bigots, & seemingly the sexual predator!
Is there a chance we will be looking at
@Hilary_Cass
work in the same way we look at
@PaulaVennells1
work?
When a government review cites
@YouTube
videos something is very very wrong.
The responses to this show the uncaring vitriol & complete hate of Trans people. Not a single media outlet has suggested that the girl is Trans, but those not in the know are desperate to make it so.
Without a care for those involved.
Here’s the thing, you don’t need to be Transgender to be bullied anymore, the suspicion of being Trans is enough.
If you don’t fit the narrow view of that makes a boy or a girl, man or woman, they are going to come for you…
@sarahditum
So despite all the evidence to the contrary, from his close friends, and even his own daughter, quotes from interviews with him, and his own writings. You hijack him under the guise of ‘not hijacking’ him & claim moral superiority.
It would be nice if
@EdinburghUni
would tell us which of these policies that
@SimonFanshawe
stands by they intend to support during his tenure?
I know the university believes if they keep their heads down it will blow over, it won’t for LGBT+ students.
I am absolutely amazed at the turn out for

Thank you to all those who came. Thank you to all those who stayed to talk.
If anyone needs support, help or just a cuppa please reach out to me.

@Ofstednews
Hi
@cllrtrisosborne
can I ask why you follow this obviously Transphobic woman, who has attacked me on social media?
I’m sure some of
@medway_council
will be upset by this but I’m tired of these people attacking me.
Do you feel she is right in her views Tris?
20 years since the repeal of
#Section28
LGBT+ books being read in schools should not be ‘controversial’ or having parents complain that we are trying to ‘gay’ or ‘trans’ their children.
@MForstater
@JohnLewisRetail
@waitrose
This might really surprise you Maya the core demographic of
@waitrose
customers are supportive of Trans rights. The majority of the country are supportive of Trans rights.
You are in the minority, and a very small one at that.
Between the failed school’s guidance my appearance on

found on a train reading underage porn is it not time for Ms Joyce to step down & the government reevaluate?
For the first time I’m taking legal advice regarding claims made about me on here.
I’m sad to have to take action, but baseless accusations made about me this evening have pushed me too far and I refuse to remain silent and allow it to pass.
@ostarali
@simonharris_mbd
Well done Alice, of course that is not possible for ALL mums and shaming them because they are not able to breastfeed is a really nasty way to behave.
We have seen a rise in ALL sections of the LGBT+ community being attacked,
Is it possible that those doing the stabbings & beatings don’t really care what letter you are?
It’s time to reject the divisive ideas of those like
@AllianceLGB
& work together
@HodgesBoots
@JeanHatchet
Sorry run that past me one more time, as I’m being dense. Precisely which category does the brutal murder of a 16 year old Trans girl fit into?
Award?
Honour?
Title?
Achievement?
