"High ranking member of the trans lobby" is saying the quiet part loud isn't it? I thought they were poor victims and the idea they were an organised group of men focused on legal changes was a terf conspiracy?
But Frood is also a member of the Green Party... A bar in Edinburgh for lesbians run by him? How much money will it make before it just becomes yet another bar in Edinburgh and disappears into obscurity?
So waiting lists for mental health and clinical assessment are too long, so just rejig the criteria and lower or remove threshholds to make the need for any assessment disappear. And this is to 'reduce trauma'. This is not what trauma informed care is or means.
Just pretend the issue isn't there, and it goes away. Magic. And the only people objecting, or advising caution can be dismissed by calling them TERFs and bigots. How can this be stopped? There will be a party whip so I can't see objections happening or how this will be stopped. It's all sewn up?
And a lesbian bar for men who 'identify' as women? What is the legal underpinning now for how anyone can 'identify'? I thought it was 'gender reassignment' that was a protected characteristic, not 'gender identity' under the Equality Act 2010. This is surely indirect discrimination of those already within or holding that characteristic and status?
But now 'complex gender identities' may fall within the definition of gender reassignment? What are the legal profession up to? Your gender identity 'journey' can now be as little as three months at age 16? You can't drive or vote, but you can lop off your breasts or genitals and take drugs that will cause untold, irreversible damage?
So this Cathal "comedy" would be a TIM screaming into the void about female privilege cuz a woman's life-saving surgery gets priority over his elective self-mutilation? Sounds like a great night out...
I think Cathal is a TiF. The revolting premise for the "comedy" is a woman faking breast cancer to queue-jump in order to get fast-tracked for a cosmetic double mastectomy.
The lack of empathy for other women, women who do actually need life-saving surgery is staggering.
NHS should NEVER be used as a 'Build Your Own Bear' shop, where you demand our NHS designs you a whole new body, to your narcissistic, mentally deranged desires. IF people want this, then crowdfund and go privately, but Transworld's expectation that all who choose (and it IS a choice) to alter their bodies MUST be cared for by The NHS, and not just that, but given PRIORITY over all other patients, is appalling and revolting. This is part of NPD/Megalomania, that they and ONLY they matter, and that their demands MUST be met and never questioned, punishment being meted out for all who do DARE to question. It's all such terrible mental illness, yet The World Heath Organisation decided to say that Gender Dysphoria is not such a thing any longer. And now, here we are, in chaos.
When it comes to the human body, "rapid onset" usually means "something is very wrong". It is then the job of doctors to find the underlying cause and treat it so that the person gets back to as close to normal as possible. Why is it different when "gender" is involved.
Taking this further, why not do away with psychiatry all together? Let's just affirm depressed people's feelings of worthlessness, or anorexics' desire to be ever thinner. Affirm people with delusions and hallucinations - what can possibly go wrong? Gosh, I should be a Scottish government minister with my levels of insight....
Anyone else see a resemblance between the first person in the photo of the Scottish Trans Alliance and Glinner or is it just me? Has he progressed from the dating app? ;)

Who would want to patronize it other than transbians?

I’m a grandmother.
I’m just back from a family holiday with my grandchildren.
The holiday company sent me a survey, if I would kindly complete, about my Stay.
Question 2:
What Gender Do I Mostly Identfy ?
• Male
• Female
Triggered me . Told them where to go.
Why are so you anti-semitic?
But I thought trans people were the mOsT oPpResSeD eVEr!
Edinburgh used to have a lesbian bar until about 20 years ago, so the proposed one wouldn't be the first.
Might be the first one with no actual lesbians in it though 🤔
Here in the states we had 200 lesbian bars in the mid 80s. Today there are fewer than 20.

This cult mindset seems to destroy morality.

The link to the google doc petition to support Joan Smith is defunct.
Do you think it was taken down?
It was an Open Letter and it closed for signatories at midday yesterday, as far as I understand it. :-)
If you haven't already done so, look at the comments section underneath the Edinburgh Evening 'News' article. It'll give you hope👍
