Twitter is now becoming a safeguarding issue. People raise issues that are legitimate and based on real lived experiences and accounts are taken down. A similar issue occurs in extended families in the Arabic culture but again it is never talked about, is hushed up and dealt with in the family.
Everyone who works with children knows that threats are there at all times and safeguarding is about reducing the opportunity. Women and girls just need same sex facilities to maintain the reduction in opportunity we already have.
I was shocked by the end of this article. And I'm a girl who was sexually abused for the first 12 years of my life by males in my family and who sued the primary abuser for incest when I recovered at age 31. I got very ANGRY when I learned that 1000+ families are lining up to Tavistock and it puzzled me because this is the news I prayed for. After a day working to calm myself and writing about my distress, it came to me that what I was reacting to was the PEDOPHILIA aspect of the sex destruction cult. I was abused by the entire system: my own family, the cops, the courts, the doctors, the school and the social workers, who all enabled the abuse, instead of taking me out of harm's way. It takes a village to abuse a child and in this global village of ours nobody gives a flying fuck about the safety, welfare and healthy development of GIRLS. So it's clear to me that gender ideology is all about harming girl children...and people are being placed in the schools in paid "Diversity and Inclusion" positions, making sure the hearts of little girls (and swishy boys) are broken, as they are being herded into the sex removal clinic, (which is being staffed by WPATH child castration fetishists, if Genevieve Gluck's evidence holds true.)
As this substack had demonstrated many times, for some the lack of safeguarding is the entire point. Not for all - plenty gender ideologues are just swivel-eyed, "true believers" who are down a cult rabbit-hole - but there have been many examples here of opportunistic perverts who see gender ideology as a "Trojan Horse" to overcome safeguarding.
One that sticks in mind particularly was the former MP Eric Joyce who was a nasty, loud-mouthed twat; aggressive and combative in his support of mixed-sex school toilets. Joyce was caught downloading child porn, although obviously he didn't lose his twitter 'blue check' account because in the twitter sewer, being a vile degenerate is not a line in the sand. Asking questions about safeguarding seems to be.
One quibble: it's really not just "lack of physical boundaries and privacy. Simple as that." The issue here is lack of physical boundaries and privacy based on SEX that make it harder for persons of the bigger, stronger, more violent and sexually aggressive MALE sex to intrude upon, prey on and abuse persons who belong to the smaller, weaker, more physically vulnerable FEMALE sex that most members of the male sex lust after and desire to impose upon, "possess" and dominate sexually.
There are lots of households and other settings where female people live or congregate cheek to jowl in very close quarters and we are often very vulnerable. Yet in those places women have never displayed a commonplace or widespread tendency to prey upon and sexually abuse one another, or to sexually prey on and abuse the children we often have with us in these settings either.
Girls' and women's dorms and bunkhouses; convents; girls' and women's boarding schools; women's shelters; domestic violence refuges; sorority houses; communal locker rooms and toilet blocks; lesbian gatherings like Mich Fest; female-only hospital wards; nursing homes for elderly women; penal institutions like the Magdalene laundries, the Irish mother and baby homes, and prisons, jails and juvenile reformatories; tents in refugee camps shared by women and young children... In all these kinds of settings, women, girls and small children are pretty safe from sexual predation and abuse so long as males over a certain age are all kept out.
I also think that the ideas of male supremacy, male sexual entitlement and the general lack of propriety that prevail in homes and cultural milieus like the ones described in the Twitter thread are just as important as the cramped material conditions found in those homes. Fact is, there have been many places over the course of history where families have lived all smushed together with no physical barriers or boundaries and very little physical privacy - yet the males did not seize or give one another free rein to commit widespread sexual abuse of the female relatives and other female residents.
In places like the Warsaw Ghetto during WW2; the pre-colonial living quarters of many of the world's indigenous peoples; the attic where the Anne and Otto Frank family lived on top of one another and with other families whilst in hiding from the Nazis; many of the world's camps for refugees and displaced persons in past wars and in the wake of natural disasters, etc - in those sorts of settings, the male family members and residents did not always or even customarily take advantage of the close quarters and lack of privacy to sexually abuse their female relatives and co-residents. Yes, this has happened in a great deal of such settings across many different cultures throughout history. Way too many of them, as what happened in the Balkans after the war there in the 1990s showed. But it hasn't happened in each and every such setting and situation. Culture, locale mores, customs and manners matter.
So ultimately, it's not "lack of physical boundaries and privacy. Simple as that." The core issue is the the bad behavior and attitudes of male supremacy and male sexual entitlement that many males in various cultures and settings have towards females - attitudes and behaviors which many females think is the norm and some even endorse.
Since I was a young girl, I've been on plenty of camping trips and in various other kinds of situations where I shared sleeping quarters with male relatives, friends and random acquaintances, and even though there were no physical barriers separating the bedrolls or bunks, the males didn't all exploit the situation by sexually abusing the females. Responsible, decent and mature persons of both sexes were alert to the risks, and if any randy boys or men did try to take advantage in such situations, women and men would speak up - and if need be, other men would step in to keep the "bad boys" in line, or oust them altogether.
And to think it's school policy to allow high school boys to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that coordinate with their gender identity. It is absurd at best, and at worst ruinous to girls who will be canceled like Gabriel was for speaking up about it.
What is Twitter so afraid of!? Are the people who work there part of this culty version of the left or are they afraid of TRAs and other hard lefties? Can someone fill me in? We know the power lies with these gender weirdos and if women are so worthless, why not let us - and people who stick up for us - have a pop now and then? It's not suppression, it's suffocation.
What a deeply sinister organisation suspends a person for writing such an intelligent, thoughtful and reasoned piece about safeguarding. It's completely arse about face. If you hadn't seen it happen time and time again you wouldn't believe it. Amazes me that people bother with it anymore.
I genuinely worry about what is going to happen in the future, I feel like I’m in a constant state of shock all the time. Their whole thing is about mental health because apparently that trumps everything else… well what the fuck do they think this is doing to everyone else’s mental health lol

When are we going to take to task the rich bastards who own that platform?
I can't see any reason why those tweets violate any of the Twitter rules. I really can't. It's astonishing. Do we have no comeback on this?
Twitter is a political platform to further gender ideology and the "needs" of men that give the rest of males a really bad name. It needs addressing.

Very good points about living conditions being a factor and it not being any kind of moral inferiority based on economic class.
Thanks for posting this Graham. Good thread.

What! Suspended for that?! These blue haired twitter moderation freaks need a mass hard drive check.
Amen to the fittingly named Gabriel Blessing.

Wow, that’s a powerful message!
