“Having a voice is crucial. It’s not all there is to human rights, but it’s central to them, and so you can consider the history of women’s rights and lack of rights as a history of silence and breaking silence” Rebecca Solnit
Came off sick leave to write about the grotesque joke which is IDS getting a knighthood. Forget honouring him, remember the people who died off the back of his policies. https://t.co/KEuuT3LRVH
Child referrals to gender clinics are rising at a faster rate in Scotland than the rest of the UK. No records kept on the numbers of puberty blockers dispensed, and no sex-disaggregated data recorded.
@MareeToddMSP will you be investigating?
A cyclist has written to Rachel McKinnon / Veronica Ivy to say he believes their cycling victories are unfair on the defeated women. VI has responded by filing a complaint with SafeSport, saying that while the email seems polite, it's actually hate speech and action must be taken
@TwisterFilm@BenjaminABoyce GNC Centric wrote about her youth group experience with Morgan Page a year ago.
So many safeguard issues + familiar power abuse dynamic of sex & age

@bc_Sanders People should use archive link or similar for these articles, then they can draw attention to it without giving the clickbaiters the clicks they want.
Very vulnerable children who may be confused about their sexuality, be autistic, suffered trauma or have other co-morbid mental health conditions are at risk of being sent down an irreversible & experimental medical pathway https://t.co/mjjwWD1GPs
You all ready to hear some more, in depth detrans stories? Well good news, we’ve got some awesome guests lined up to be on our channel starting in the new year.
2020 - the year detransitioners refuse to be silenced any longer.
@TwisterFilm Thanks for this Malcolm. Particularly nauseating as lesbians were, of course, the canaries in the coal mine. The attack on Mitch Fest by those claiming trans status went undocumented by MSM. Where were gay protesting the shut down of a lesbian festival?
The number of children aged between 4 and 10 who have been referred to Scotland's Young People's Gender Service has risen by 80% in a year. Experts have expressed concern that a disproportionate number of these children might be simply vulnerable girls

@tibby17 Bad enough if it was 18/19 young adult teens but it is young teen and tweens, 11 and 12 yr old children who are reading and being influenced by this. Nasty stuff.
@msbedlam_caz@CyberneticsFTW @dreamygirl202 Lots of reasons but one strand is misogyny mixed with the need for male attention. They hate feminists and lesbians, traditionally would fawn all over their gay male bffs, nowadays trans males serve the same purpose. Instant "cool, special and not like the other girls" points
@CyberneticsFTW@msbedlam_caz @dreamygirl202 The "flawed ideology" that Young is complaining about is the concept of male supremacy and misogyny, she is quite happy to refer to wmn protecting their boundaries as "hate", and fails to give any definition of "gender identity" which she believes exists. Pretty poor all round.
This is a mental health crisis. A recently as 2010 nowhere near this number of girls were planning to cut off their breasts.
Transsexuals have always been men.

@Zoraya99511206 @bindelj He said he had someone "close to him". Not necessarily friend, or even male. It could be family, it could be a girl/young woman, which would be a whole other worry really.
@eleonorasfalcon@sueveneer@Anyechka 1) because of the public bragging rather than keeping own counsel & remorse at something deeply unpleasant where he believed no other option
2) the ineptitude of an urban hobbyist who can’t even secure his coop properly
3) shows side of him that a lot of women already sussed
@lacroicsz She's always really respectful and considered, and makes her points well - which is exactly why the TRAs want her shut down. They won't actually succeed in shutting the detransition voices down of course, but very frustrating having to deal with this sort of hassle meanwhile.
