The GRA is not & has never been fit for purpose
It's impossible to have effective safeguarding that protects children & women whilst men can hide their sex & previous names
Passports, DBS & birth certificates + NHS records must record sex

'Male teachers have worked in girls’ schools for some time, it’s not a new concept.'
Yep ... I went to a girls' school. There were lots of male teachers - including the odd one we found a bit creepy.
But here's four things they never did:
1. Tell us they were women and that we had to call them 'Miss'
2. Publish an article in the newspaper about travelling abroad for a 'sex change' op and/or hold a raffle to raise money for it (1990s pre-internet version)
3. Use toilets, showers and changing facilities reserved for female staff or students - or claim they were entitled to do so
4. Supervise girls getting changed for PE or dance - or claim they were entitled to do so
Had they done any of these things - or had there been even the slightest concern they *might* be - this would have raised serious safeguarding concerns.
Now girls - and their parents - are told its 'unkind' to question what would once have been extremely concerning behaviour.
@jdoyleDoyle1 Long history of delusional/deceitful Drs masquerading as the opposite sex & gender quackery medicine
They're a feature not a bug
Utterly unethical
"bookselling was in a panic about the Kindle...Today, the e-reader market has plateaued at some 10% of traditional publishers’ revenue, while about 75% comes from paper books, a technology essentially unchanged since the nineteenth century" https://t.co/9vZYW0pcKs
Watching the current UK gov decide it wants a bit of that too is just extraordinary. Wake-up, @andyburnham. Scotland’s tested all this and you don’t want it.
It’s GRR meets Named Person, with a dash of hate crime. Distinguishing feature of such legislation is wasting a massive amount of political time, stoking tensions, eventual crash and burn, and - importantly - doing worse than nothing for groups it supposedly is meant to help/
This 👇strikes me as about right when it comes to the Conversion Practices Bill. How many hours of regulator’s, police and court will be wasted establishing that sex matters and that people’s beliefs are not criminal? All the while making others feel that disagreement is hate.
**Update** on another US scandal uncovered in 2023 by @FingerLakes1:
"Woman accused of forging documents to arrange a surrogacy without her husband’s knowledge has pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor charges."
https://t.co/wGSSXcTWID
MaryBeth Lewis, a 69 year old nurse from NYC already had 13 children (including children born from donated gametes) when she commissioned twins through #surrogacy using donor embryos.
She allegedly forged her husband's signature on legal documents and impersonated him during a court hearing to secure parental rights.
The twins were placed in foster care during the legal proceedings. Since then, the children have been returned to the care of Mr and Mrs Lewis while the foster parents continue to contest the outcome.
The New York Times is paywalled so we share this for more background:

@LucyHunterB I did a blog about that mob, and their cosy relationship with Bute House, years ago

which formed part of this report in The Times…

The contract has gone to the firm that picked up baby boxes, initially (first 4 years) with no competitive tendering: it already had a big call-off contract with SG for printing and more loosely-defined other stuff.
"Could a court say you have to call your 11-year-old non-binary daughter a they/them? Do you have to allow your child to wear a breast binder if she wants to? And then that becomes criminal if you don't do it?!"

Men purchase newborn baby
Remove the child from his mother...
"But it is, I don't know. I cannot imagine having gone through like figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT. Clearly people did it for a long time, no problem.”
Jimmy Fallon asks Sam Altman if he uses ChatGPT to raise the baby he has with his husband, and his answer is hilarious
Jimmy Fallon: “You, you and your husband just had a baby. Congratulations, yeah. How old? How old is the baby?”
Sam Altman: “Eight month old?”
Jimmy Fallon: “Are you loving him?”
Sam Altman: “So much. I have no non-cliched thing to say, but it is by far so much better than anything anyone tells you. I just so incredibly happy.”
Jimmy Fallon: “And do you use ChatGPT when, when raising your baby?”
Sam Altman: “I do. I mean I feel kind of bad about it because I, we have this like genius level at everything, intelligence sitting there like waiting to unravel the mysteries of humanity.”
“And I'm like, why my kid stop dropping his pizza on the floor and laughing?”
“So I feel like I'm not asking a good enough question.”
“But it is, I don't know. I cannot imagine having gone through like figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT. Clearly people did it for a long time, no problem.”
@legaltweetz@BoyGeorge One might think a man convicted of tying another man to a radiator and assaulting him would resist the temptation to harass anyone, but I suppose the kind of man who’d tie another man to a radiator and assault him isn’t bothered by such niceties.

The correspondence, released to @heraldscotland under freedom of information, also shows that Carol Potter, then NHS Fife’s chief executive, was heavily involved in the writing of the statement, weighing in on individual sentences hours before it was published.
Because you are a MAN who thinks women are merely sex objects. Your entire profile is about sex, that's it.
Women are fully functioning humans.
We don't want to share our spaces, services & opportunities, with MEN who view us mere sex objects.
The reputational damage here to @nhsfife just grows and grows. Incredible that highly paid managers could operate in such incompetent fashion without any repercussions.
