Well done, @joannaccherry! @scotgov should not be buying lobby groups with tax payer money to attack MPs who do their job and ask reasonable questions about legislation. https://t.co/86lFR2...
Brilliant interview, this is esp pertinent. "her Catholic upbringing made her feel this “no debate” trans activism was a form of religion. “It involves special holy days, ceremonies, rituals, mantras and performing acts of ritual self-abnegation.” ...
RT @amoozeboosh: @VictoriaPeckham is the main reason I swapped my newspaper subscription to @thetimes. @RTBenPreston I hope you realise what a fantastic asset she is to your paper. (And yes, I do know...) https://t.co/2jDL89...
RT @emmm_seee: @UofGlasgow @glasgowunisrc ie a VANISHINGLY tiny number of people. When are you going to raise a flag to the thousands and thousands of women raped, battered and murdered every day, by male violence? Without recognition of that FAR ...
RT @bigandymccoll: I've NEVER watched a podcast of 34mins and agreed and cheered with EVERY statement. These women: @GraceBrodie, @forwomenScot and (in case you're a bloke that thinks this is just "a wimmen's issue" the line at 24:50 by) @keogh1992x ...
Our Governments are being advised by unaccountable lobby groups and we are not even permitted to see what they recommend. This is an affront to democracy and open gov. https://t.co/G7KGj5...
Thank you @dt_ni for all your work on this. It seems @Nancy_M_K was unable to defend the terrible advice given to @scotgov by @stonewalluk, so attempted to bluff (lie?) in the interview. Can we presume she will be telling Scot Gov to put mother back ...
So, I suggest we direct him to the many forms of abuse directed at women and dissenting gay men & trans people in the name of this sexist ideology. And get him to "call it out". https://t.co/VeK7ZA...
Of course, Equality Network who take Gov money to represent people with DSD/VSD but insist on using the existence of medical conditions to forward other agenda support this letter and the disgraceful appropriation of DSD. What does conversion therapy ...
RT @JoEdge_____: I had no Idea there was quite so much hate out there for women, it's been eye opening and disturbing. https://t.co/rmo5c0...
Matthew thinks talking about women's reality is "mean", "hateful" and "transphobic". This whole movement really is an excuse to stop women talking about - our even having - rights. What comes across in this thread is it isn't about helping trans ...
As @joannaccherry said in her article today, it would be prudent to await the findings of the Cass Review before outlawing talking therapy for children who present with gender dysphoria. Please use this and write to your MP! https://t.co/2QWDj8...
RT @ClareCAIS: Dear @AlynSmith @MartinJDocherty please contact @dsdfamilies as you seem to be misrepresenting people born with variations of sex development. What do you mean by conversion therapy for someone born with hypospadias or without a ...
RT @Docstockk: 2) Following a complaint, I am pleased @guardian have swiftly corrected their earlier minimisation of what were personally distressing events for me, with wide repercussions for the University sector. https://t.co/xhVKnY...
Why is there an "I" in this? What do MPs think "intersex conversion therapy" looks like? Yet another example of co-opting DSDs at behest of lobbyists without listening to proper advocacy groups. @ClareCAIS https://t.co/JzJDuL...
A heart-felt, compassionate column from @joannaccherry who has, once again, seen her views cynically twisted by those who seek to whip up hostility and hate against her. #IStandWithJoannaCh... #WomenWontWheesht https://t.co/Eli7OS...
Looks like the majority of the online views were firmly supportive of @joannaccherry #IStandWithJoannaCh... #WomenWontWheesht https://t.co/PAOAJx...
Joanna Cherry: This is why I have concerns around conversion therapy legislation
RT @DuncanHenry78: I think it would be helpful for more people to see this. It’s not about labelling “all trans people” “dangerous” - but this is what the ideology and self ID allows, and renders people like me *powerless* to do anything about it. ...
When women say that our ability to talk about sex and sexism is under threat, this is what we mean. Why is it "bigoted" to point out that sex exists? https://t.co/TmrP8Q...
RT @AudreySuffolk: As they will learn to their cost, the Labour Party should be applying the Equality Act as it is, not how they want it to be. Going beyond the law means risking breaching the law https://t.co/uFpU7Y...
RT @BDimyon: @ForwomenScot https://t.co/3kh3sQ...
It's so important that psychiatrists are able and willing to do this. We know that these teens frequently present with co-morbidities. It is concerning that some in the UK would see best practice outlawed. https://t.co/VfVQzA...
