Having gender dysphoria does not equate to being 'born in the wrong body'. We should stop asking children to decide where they fall on the 'gender spectrum'.
In 2018, a group of parents presented the Chief Exec of Tavistock with a document detailing their concerns about ideologically captured staff, social contagion, Mermaids and parents' worries. This is what we gave him, in person - so that he had the full picture - for the future.
🚨 There are serious concerns about the Welsh Gender Service with it referring between 3 & 4 times the number of people for irreversible gender surgery than the UK average
👇 Incredibly disappointing the new Health Minister ignored my plea for an investigation into the service
‘Darren Rigby, who sent hoax death threats to schools is jailed’
All girls’ schools were specifically targeted. Rigby ‘threatened to carry out deadly attacks supposedly in response to the treatment of ‘transwomen’’. None of this features in the coverage across outlets, despite the evidence emerging in email evidence and in court, neither does it feature in the Merseyside Police report.
‘I’m going to kill every girl and woman staff member I come across’
‘I'm going to shoot and stab all your girls’
It’s a crime of extreme misogyny in the cause of ‘fighting trans oppression’ but any mention of ‘trans’ has been erased by the police, PA and all news outlets. In addition the BBC report hides the fact that it was a crime against women and girls.

Looking forward to being on @bbcworldservice Weekend tomorrow, 6am-9am GMT, with Julian Worricker and fellow guests - lots of fascinating stories for us to discuss
Claire's testimony is one of many @IWF has documented.
@jk_rowling—here's another:
I'm Soren Aldaco. From 11 to 19, I believed I was a boy. I'm now 24 and suing. 🧵
I decided I was "nonbinary" at 12, then a "demiboy," then a trans boy around 13, and then a week after my 14th birthday I was on testosterone and being referred for a mastectomy. this is not harmless adolescent identity formation, this girl is on a conveyor belt which leads to irreversible medical harm.
There are parents of children like this at @OurDutyGrp on the daily front line desperately trying to save their children from this. The cult tells the child to estrange their own parents and go "no contact". When they turn 18, the parents options become limited, the "professionals" no longer need parental consent.
Worse, in some places like California and Canda, the state will intervene against the parents and take the child into care https://t.co/zB6OuZapZV. This is the direction @UKLabour seek to do with their "trans" conversion therapy ban.
I challenge every single person who believes minors should be enabled and even encouraged to transition to read this first person testimony to the end.

My recent speech at the Cambridge Union is in the Free Press. Click to read about how harmful modern LGBTQ+ 'activism' is going too far.

This is concerning.
There’s no scope for higher & further education institutions to further delay their implementation of the Supreme Court judgment in @ForWomenScot while @ucu considers the @EHRC Code of Practice.
Also, a reminder: the Code is *not* relevant to workplaces.
Hi Emily, it’s the Equality Act that says single sex services can’t admit people of the opposite sex. The Code of Practice simply explains it to service providers. If you want services organised on the basis of gender identity not sex you need to advocate for a change in the law. There’d be a lot of opposition to that (including from me) because of the impact on women, including domestic abuse survivors. Happy to put you in touch with a specialist lawyer if you want to know more about the relationship between the law and guidance.
Sad to read in @thetimes that Bridget Phillipson is blaming me for delay to EHRC Code. She certainly stoops low. She had Code for 3 months when she sent me this letter last November - no indication of any grandstanding then.
@ForWomenScot It remains a mystery what is meant by "reassigning sex" from male to female or vice versa, now that we know sex must be defined as biological sex.
You can't change your biological sex. So what is meant by "reassign"? A question for the courts.
