Hoy estamos de Jornadas contra las ciberviolencias sexuales en la @uvigo y se han movilizado señores a ejercerla contra mi o @AranguezTasia denominándonos como“Cumbre TERF”. Y ese insulto misógino viene de un catedrático de Química que sabe entre cero y nada de lo que hablamos.

The Tavistock has until Friday to show email correspondence between GIDS & Mermaids.
“Ideological thinking represented by some of the trans charities has interfered with safeguarding and the need for clinical debate, discussion and research in this area.”

We've signed this important letter.
Let's get as many as we can to do the same.
Tell the NHS that accurate, sex-based language is vital to women's health.

Don’t think this is being said enough.

Teaching about misogyny is NOT about one off lessons, days or assemblies.

It is about:
✅ Creating a culture where everyone is respected and treated as equals.
✅ Training all staff to manage challenging conversations and behaviours.

Pregunta yo creo que sería:
¿Estamos siendo obligados por una cuadrilla de narcisistas posmodernos a contracturar nuestras íntimas referencias éticas por un seguidismo político de lo que se nos presenta como "única opción" ante las propuestas reaccionarias que tampoco queremos?

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

@Jeff_Pedley ... are these conditions even legal? I've never taught in England, but it sounds hellish.

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

@Headteacherchat The purple pen...🙄

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

@TeachRankin @Jeff_Pedley Do you need a Spanish teacher/Head of year? Lol These are very thoughtful things, Emily!

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

@the_female_lead To be assertive and call bs, especially around men.

USA: The first whistle-blower speaks out:

"I Thought I Was Saving Trans Kids. Now I’m Blowing the Whistle.
There are more than 100 pediatric gender clinics across the U.S. I worked at one. What’s happening to children is morally and medically appalling." https://t.co/YOPASPZSzB

@No_ideology_MTF @widerlenspod I was only talking about the podcast and I only started following her here recently, but thank u for pointing this out to me. I personally believe that people with GD, especially children, need holistic care and that affirmation shouldnt be the go-to care style for all cases

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

I just started listening to Gender
a wider lense podcast (@widerlenspod) and it is so incredibly informative, educative, kind and respectful in the way they talk about adults and children's take on gender. All teachers should listen to it!

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

@No_ideology_MTF @widerlenspod I think Stella says that she had GD, which I agree is her own experience and anecdotal in this case, but she doesn't use it as her main argument. The main arguments are much more compelling than that.

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

@No_ideology_MTF @widerlenspod I'm only 6 episodes in and they mentioned many times that gender affirming care is valid for some but not for all. They explored a variety of holistic care that has proved to work for children. They do not support gender affirming care as the ONLY way to treat gender dysphoria.

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

@DianaYo93072168 Thank you!!

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

Children are not a monolithic group and need to be assessed and supported holistically. When we let our need to appear kind/accepting/modern and our fear of being called intolerant cloud our judgement, we fail them as parents/professionals. They will come back asking questions.

[Genspect @genspect]

UK: Aidan Kelly, clinician at the GIDS gender clinic at Tavistock 2016-21: “some staff had doubts about whether the children they were treating were in fact transgender, or should instead have been receiving help for other conditions including autism.” https://t.co/EquoZWA9aY

[Dr. Jessica Taylor @DrJessTaylor]

How come women need a tonne of evidence, DNA, photos, confession in blood and a full psych assessment when they say they’ve been abused, but men just need their own word when they say the woman is lying? 🙃

[Ms Castro @TeachCastro]

@hatpinwoman I absolutely agree that birthing person is dehumanising for women, but genuine question: would it be possible for the law or birth certificates for trans parents to call them birthing parent/person. I'd understand if 'mother' was triggering. Any ideas?
