It’s important that people know what happened here. Unqualified lunatic doctor goes rogue, hands out hormones et al to kids without telling their parents. Second doctor *whose job it is* to pass on safeguarding concerns passes on such concerns, plus her own. Result: second doctor investigated for ‘transphobia’, smeared, subjected to hostile 4-hr interrogation, mental health severely impacted, forced out of her job. Over the next few years all her worst fears are much more than confirmed. Many children suffer severe, irreversible & completely preventable harm, not bc of a ‘bad apple’ but bc of NHS culture
‘Why are you so concerned?’
Look at the election result in British Columbia. A landslide victory for Conservatives.
Every political party that insists on teaching kids gender identity doctrine and denying the sex-based rights of women and girls has just received a reality check.
Looking at you, US Democrats!
The voters do not want these policies. Not even in British Columbia.
Some people seem baffled by the political earthquake in British Columbia, Canada’s most gender-mad province, which has just voted in a Conservative government for the first time in a century. They might want to read David Thomas’s piece in the National Post from earlier this year. 👇 Parents are really sick of people telling their kids lies and punishing those with dissenting views. As for the BC Human Rights Commission, which fined Barry Neufeld $750,000 for saying that the transitioning of kids is tantamount to child abuse…..
The party that vowed to remove the ideological claptrap of SOGI from BC’s schools just won a super majority.
Sanity and child safeguarding is gradually being restored, bit by bit, even in Canada.
@AmaterasuX20 The people of Canada are mighty sick of the NDP and have voted them out of office. I’m sure there are many reasons for it but the gender identity indoctrination of schoolchildren and the outrageous treatment of dissenters are definitely right up there.
How does Claire Wang get away with such dishonest reporting? And it’s so transparent. Such obvious propaganda. Is this seriously what passes for “journalism” in Los Angeles?
So sick of this panicmongering. How dare the Guardian run a false headline like this? The bill to protect girls’ sports in Washington state does not “require genital checks.” It simply requires a doctor’s statement that the child is a girl - which could for instance be based on existing medical records. All athletes already undergo a physical exam before competing. https://t.co/7PQ1pWCt8V
@syabl3man@SuzyCreamcheez3@The_Conrad_85 She sought out the worst account she could find — one with even fewer followers than her own. Apparently in an effort to prove there are some really crazy people out there, with obnoxious, dangerous views … which there certainly are 🙃

I nearly missed it! 😱
The EU’s Justice DG is telling everyone it’s International Lying Day! It’s that day when you lie by colluding in someone’s fantasy.
It doesn’t help the person in the long term -- they will have to come to terms with reality eventually. But it makes you feel virtuous — which is what this pronoun business is really all about.
Different pronouns. Equal respect. 🌈
Using someone’s pronouns is a simple way to show respect for their identity.
On International Pronouns Day, we stand for a Europe where everyone can be themselves, free from discrimination. 🏳️🌈��🇺
@Mathed2026@Andrews1850@bphillipsonMP@IndyVoices So you acknowledge that it would go to court — with all the nightmarish stress for the entire family, not just in court but in the months and months of waiting at each end.
No. The weasel words are open to interpretation. It’s all subjective and boils down to he said she said. No therapist would take the risk. As elsewhere, all therapists would simply refuse to take on such patients — unless they plan to “affirm” no matter what. Poor kids. And poor parents trying to do the right thing.
A great update on the need to continue protecting women’s rights and on the stubborn refusal of numerous public sector organizations to accept the law.
“A society which values freedom must protect everyone’s right to live openly and safely as themselves.”

@MikeStarkers@RosieKayK2CO Absolutely. Once you tell students there is no knowledge to be acquired, you destroy the intellectual curiosity and critical thinking that should be the bedrock of education at every level.
