Got further confirmation last night that one of the TRA's biggest advantages has been the proportion of the public that simply didn't/doesn't know all this is going on. Had an opening while chatting to a friend, took the plunge and explained as succinctly as I could about JKR, Dr Stock, Maya, the issues re bathrooms/rape crisis centres/sports etc. She was horrified and said she simply had no idea of the extent of it all. Made me realise again how important it is to reach out to people. And I didn't even have time to go into the threat trans ideology poses to children.
They also rely heavily on how recently it was that homophobia was acceptable and ruined lives. There’s a huge amount of guilt tripping the general public who haven’t researched this and putting sexuality and gender identity in the same category.
Yes, all being done 'under the radar', on purpose, so that when most realise, it's too late, laws changed, schools captured, children captured....all very clever. Transworld is also linked to Scientology, so they know how to brainwash, very well. Here is one of the Scientology ex-leaders, who is also trans....'=Kate Bornstein'= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZADESbPDgE
Yes, CBS in the U.S. was showing a program about a transgender -- excuse me, an effeminate gay man -- who was murdered. I don't know if there was anything about who murdered him, but I much prefer an open and honest story about a man who is murdered for being gay rather than claiming he was murdered because he was trans.
"teacher activism’ is not checked, it will be adopted in the UK"
Look no further that the Scottish Schools Trans Inclusion policy. Very clever to make it 'guidance only' so it's not the Scottish Government that gets sued.
Some of the Teaching Unions have come out against it, realising that the teachers themselves who will be held responsible for 'mistakes' however there is no legislating for the zealots.
You know, the sort who instigated 'Drag Queen' story hour in a Paisley primary school.
“You took away my ability to parent my child… Your job was to educate my child in math, science, English etc. You do your job. Let me do mine…
They downgraded me in front of my child, and allowed me to question myself as a mother. You sat there and told me how my child was going to be. And then you wrapped your hands around her while I sat across the table and cried because you thought you could be there better than I.”
Who do these "teachers" think they are!
Really a case of "Hey teacher leave them kids alone...Pink Floyd"
This is already happening in Uk. In fact kids are grooming each other while teschers cheer them on. I know this because its happening to my autistic daughter. She has been coerced into being trans by 2 so called friends. Head of year says its not bullying. Another pupil also bullied to be trans, teachers clapped when he walked into lessons with a skirt on, he is also vunerable with autism. The school has people in to talk to pupils about gender ideology. Also have posters everwhere encouraging it. LGBT group at the school too. Im so angry.
Can you home educate by any chance? If you can, and your daughter is willing, I'd advise doing so. I had a lady over on Twitter whose daughter decided she was trans too, she was about to home-educate, then, lockdown came in, no schooling anywhere...and the change in her daughter was profound. She dropped all the trans stuff, told her Mum it was school creating the problem, that she really struggled with school (many with autism feel the same, too many people, too much noise, too much *everything*). Mum decided to look into home ed during lockdown as her daughter was SO much happier. She even went out with a young lad, they becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, really happy together. It's just a thought...and I know that not everyone is able to home-educate, as it's all so expensive to pay bills these days, but if you can, then perhaps have a think about it.
Here's the page of Education Otherwise who were a great help to me when my daughter started to struggle so deeply: https://www.educationotherwise.org/
Thank you. She has left the school now and is at a small college with less than 100 students. I didnt know about the pro ideology until she left and it was through another parent whos son was being bullied into being trans. Ive sent a letter to the new college stating that she needs to be safegaurded as she is vunerable. She is studying psychology as part if the course and gender ideology is in that aswell. People beware because it is being sneakily put into the lessons. You just cant escape from it. Ive put s block on certain damaging websites such as Discord, twitter, Ticktok etc. I go to a feminist group who have been very supportive. They have found a support worker for me so fingers crossed it helps my daughter. The support is based on girls that have gone through trauma. Shes had 2 zoom sessions so far.
Gender Ideology should be banned, everywhere in education. Sadly, unless they repeal the Gender Recognition Acts, globally, urgently, this nonsense will continue for the time being...Truly needs many famous people to start speaking up, to find their courage and to stand with Graham, bigtime, because then, young people would finally start to listen, I think. Many things are deeply traumatic for some with ASD, things that neurotypicals never even give a thought to. The fear runs deep, and they can really get their mind stuck on something they've heard. I wish her well in her future life...and it often does get a little easier, as time goes by, that ability to understand a world you don't understand at all well finally kicking into place as the years go by and wisdom and learning fill the gaps, where once, there was only fear. Hope you both have a peaceful and loving Christmas. xx
I’m so very sorry you’re going through this. Can you channel the anger? Can you to challenge any of it? Join forces with others? You know the sort of thing I’m sure. But people on here seem knowledgeable so perhaps that might help you. (These bloody teachers are like childhood snatchers bewitched by the cult of Trans). Take strength if you can, we ARE winning, slowly but surely, and WE WILL WIN.
Thank you for your support im doing everything I can to help my daughter. All professionals are so captured by this cult even doctors. Im getting her out to help with animals etc, play games, watch films. Paid for expensive therapy which didnt work. He sat on the fence and didn't challenge her enough. She needs her thoughts to be challenged as shes been targeted by this ideology. Everyone too scared to speak the truth in fear if losing their jobs. I just live in fear for my daughter. Its a nightmare.
Oh my dear, I feel for you. My step-daughter “Fred” is on testosterone now and who knows what might be next. And everyone, as far as I’m aware, is too scared to challenge it. I would challenge her but I’m not allowed to either meet or say anything if we did. Just as well her Dad is a fan of Glinner or else I’d have an argument every time I went on the web. Actually maybe I should be brave and ask to go along the next time they meet up to walk our dog together.
Wrapping you all up in a virtual hug. Anything I can do to help, in regard to my previous post, about Home Ed, please feel free to contact me...or, if you simply need a shoulder to cry on, or swear on. My heart goes out to you, and to all others similarly affected. Baroness Emma Nicholson, over on Twitter, is superb at helping people, so if you contact her there, tell the name of your daughter's school, she might be able to have a word with the head teacher, find out what's going on.... https://twitter.com/baroness_nichol @Baroness_Nichol
You can contact her via The House Of Lords https://members.parliament.uk/member/1164/contact ....but it might be worth making a Twitter page, as it's faster and she is directly in charge of her own page on there.
Yes, there are actual conspiracies. And as someone pointed out, if you don't think the wealthy elite get together and agree on how things are going to be, you are very naive. I remember in the 1970s typesetting information about how they planned the necessity of two-income households so people could maintain an illusion of middle-class status as wages steadily dropped.
Teachers are NOT supposed to touch students, what are these freaks doing wrapping their arms around this vulnerable girl? I think Lori Caldeira and Kelly Baraki need to be investigated for possible predatory behavior.
Perhaps. But Lori Caldeira bragged that because she has tenure, she can’t be fired. I don’t think tenure confers immunity against charges of actual harm to a child, though.
But who would get to define what is or isn't 'harm' in such cases? People – including judges, obvs – can be hopelessly blind when it comes to seeing through fashionably harmful beliefs.
I forwarded this to several members of my family to ask for their views - my aunts who are educators and my brother who lives in California with a young son.
I was horrified to get a reply from my Aunt that my cousin’s daughter is caught up in this. She said she’s tried to commit suicide because of this ‘nonsense’. OMG she’s eleven
I knew that her parents were estranged and that she was ‘finding things difficult’ but no one had shared the details
This is breaking my heart. She is a vulnerable little girl in a small town. I feel sick and helpless and even more angry.
What can be done? She is a child! Wtf is going on?! This makes me think of eg suicide charities talking about how dangerous it is to posit suicide risk wrt eg ‘pronoun misuse’ etc because it acts as a trigger. So much coaching and conditioning. Can they get her offline and out of school? I know that isn’t always an option. I’m sorry.
And this happens in the UK, because the Samaritans have been ideological captured and now suicide reporting guidelines no longer apply to 'trans' children and adults. CEO of Samaritans used to work for Girl Guides
Sorry, I should have been clearer. What I am talking about is my inference - What I mean is; the Samaritans give advice about how others report on suicide, including MSM, to avoid social contagions and simplistic mon-factorial 'reasons' for suicidality. Yet I have heard not a dicky bird from them in response to the manner in which suicide is repeatedly reported and used as emotional blackmail.
I can only conclude, that as in many areas the minute 'trans' is mentioned, normal policy seems to go out of the window.
Thank you. I’m in contact with my Aunt and trying to understand and explore anything to help. She’s refusing to speak or eat and being fed through a tube so I believe she must be in hospital. Her parents are feuding and separated so this can’t be helping. And they live in a tiny town with limited access to professional help. I wish I could bring her to London for a ‘normal’ life but that’s a rescue fantasy. My heart is breaking for her and the family.
And in parallel my father responded to this same article saying it sounded like ‘typical California weirdness’ and wasn’t widespread
So even within families people aren’t talking about this
So I guess I have a responsibility to minimally get my extended family engaged and activated
Can someone tell me why this shouldn't be described as 'grooming?' If a parent disagrees with the groomer, they get a dime dropped on them? This is truly Orwellian. Sadly, the law protects the complainant's identity, even if the complaint is proven to be false.
I wish I could find it now (perhaps someone could help me?). A year or more ago someone posted on Twitter a video of Elly Barnes of UK 'Educate and Celebrate' group. In the video, Barnes is taking to teachers about the need to withhold information about materials and training going into schools because of the parents 'wrong' attitudes.
Of interest to me because Barnes started as a teacher in my local Secondary around 2014 and developed materials for that school. At the time when I heard about her, I thought how progressive it sounded. There was, and is, still a problem with homophobia in Secondaries round here, so it all sounded good. No idea they'd end up telling non-conforming kids they are 'trans' and inveigling Queer Theory into children's brains. Transgendertrend has stuff about Educate and Celebrate but can't find the video.
In the video in my post above, what disturbs me so much is the way the children say that they used to have lessons on LGBT+ now and then, but it's now in EVERY lesson, no matter what the subject is. This is not teaching, this is indoctrination...and why the govt has allowed this to happen, I've no idea.
thank you for the videos Ellen. She's so convinced she's right. "We tell children they can be what they want to be!" It's like the effing X factor. No, Ellie: boys cannot be girls, however hard they try. Stick to telling boys they can be boys who like dresses. Honestly. The stupidity of her.
Is this the end result of that parenting ideology where you tell your children they can be whatever they want? Yes, your 5'3" daughter can play in the NBA; yes, your clumsy son is destined for a career as a prima ballerina. No, children cannot be whatever they want to be, but there's a world of opportunity within reason.
She seems to have started off relatively sensible before veering off into queer theory. Unless I'm greatly mistaken, nothing from the Government or Ofsted requires children to be educated on a theory many consider regressive nonsense from Tumblr and quacks. The association of queer theory with trans (gender dysphoria) is simply ideological.
Agree with the need to talk, people honestly don’t know about this stuff. I talk to everyone, I can’t fucking help myself. People think I’m mental, okay but you know, they might look and listen a bit more when this stuff comes up. Anyone on the cusp might be peaked. I ‘came out’ to a friend recently and he was like hell yeah this is bullshit. A lot of people are just waiting for someone to say something. The others, fuck it, at least it puts it on their radar.
Re anything schoolwise, Safe Schools Alliance, Transgender Trend and Mumsnet can help. But I really think we need to support them. Get more involved, get more militant. Children need to be protected.
Agree with raising it everywhere. So many friends are relieved to discover another person outraged and we’re waking up. But I’ve also had pushback - fascinating but baffling. I thought she was sensible and she’s a CEO and mother of girls. I’ve had to stop trying to get her to explore this. She says, “I feel for everyone.”
Blech.
We think she’s been captured. I’m wondering if I can find out if her organisation is paying Stonewall as might help me understand where she’s getting her info?
I heard from a reliable source who works in a large US school district and she told me they have fake student profiles on the parent access portal that hide the students’ preferred name and pronouns from parents.
This is also happening in some State public high schools in Australia, but if parents are not aware what is going on at their child's school, they will hear nothing about it, because children are told not to discuss this at home
And I immediately went home and told my mother everything. And if someone had told me not to, I would have told her even faster! This is how life is when your mother is fierce and protective and you know she's stronger than everyone else around.
A Key Stage 1 teacher where I worked, referred to a child in her class (he'd been upset when someone mistook him for a girl from behind - like lots of little boys, he had long hair - and that was being discussed) saying 'his pronouns are he/him. I was really taken aback that she was talking about 'pronouns' outside of teaching what they are in grammatical terms. It was the first I knew that young teachers are just steeped in an ideology.
Everything goes as long as Trans, including keeping secrets from
parents and child grooming. The new trans supremacy.
This ideology is pure Teflon.
And I like the indigenous woman on Spinster who spells it TRANCE.
Got further confirmation last night that one of the TRA's biggest advantages has been the proportion of the public that simply didn't/doesn't know all this is going on. Had an opening while chatting to a friend, took the plunge and explained as succinctly as I could about JKR, Dr Stock, Maya, the issues re bathrooms/rape crisis centres/sports etc. She was horrified and said she simply had no idea of the extent of it all.

Hello from California and it's gotten really bad as of late.
Hi William. I'm genuinely sorry for the state of your state.
There's a woman in Chowchilla prison who is pregnant, not by a guard but an inmate who suddenly caught himself a case of "ladyfeels".
Yes, I know. It's heart-breaking how authorities go along with this insane bullshit. Women don't matter at all.
🤢🤢🤢
Thank you for saying so.
Hang on in there, William. For anyone who's not visited William's blog yet, I hugely recommend it. He writes excellent blogs.
Especially cis eye for the trans guy!

You must have joined after the "rainbow dildo butt monkey" library story!

Grimfest. What must the kids actually think?
BBC News - Apology after drag queen visit to Paisley primary school
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-51617457
I find that wee, po-faced MP particularly nasty.
She called women c*nts whilst reading out letters about child safeguarding. It's probably still up online somewhere. Immature and uncouth
Look back at some of the archive here. It's been happening for a while :-(
“You took away my ability to parent my child… Your job was to educate my child in math, science, English etc. You do your job. Let me do mine…
They downgraded me in front of my child, and allowed me to question myself as a mother. You sat there and told me how my child was going to be. And then you wrapped your hands around her while I sat across the table and cried because you thought you could be there better than I.”
Who do these "teachers" think they are!
Really a case of "Hey teacher leave them kids alone...Pink Floyd"
This is a also a case I suspect where parents are going to go back to voting Republican

Emma Nicholson is amazing. She's working hard behind the scenes. She has been such a support when I felt very alone with what had happened in my job.
This is brainwashing by stealth, how on earth did it come to this ?
This makes me feel more concerned than ever, why do I discount this as a conspiracy theory, when it’s all pointing to an actual conspiracy?
Ahh of course, you go for the children!
Yes, there are actual conspiracies. And as someone pointed out, if you don't think the wealthy elite get together and agree on how things are going to be, you are very naive. I remember in the 1970s typesetting information about how they planned the necessity of two-income households so people could maintain an illusion of middle-class status as wages steadily dropped.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. What I am talking about is my inference - What I mean is; the Samaritans give advice about how others report on suicide, including MSM, to avoid social contagions and simplistic mon-factorial 'reasons' for suicidality. Yet I have heard not a dicky bird from them in response to the manner in which suicide is repeatedly reported and used as emotional blackmail.
I can only conclude, that as in many areas the minute 'trans' is mentioned, normal policy seems to go out of the window.
Thank you
Thank you. I’m in contact with my Aunt and trying to understand and explore anything to help. She’s refusing to speak or eat and being fed through a tube so I believe she must be in hospital.

Is it this one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtCKRsOymMY
She wants to 'smash heternormativity' with her Educate and Celebrate organization. She's frantic, absolutely driven, obsessed about this....
Way more here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=elly+barnes+
In the video in my post above, what disturbs me so much is the way the children say that they used to have lessons on LGBT+ now and then, but it's now in EVERY lesson, no matter what the subject is. This is not teaching, this is indoctrination...and why the govt has allowed this to happen, I've no idea.
thank you for the videos Ellen. She's so convinced she's right. "We tell children they can be what they want to be!" It's like the effing X factor. No, Ellie: boys cannot be girls, however hard they try. Stick to telling boys they can be boys who like dresses. Honestly. The stupidity of her.
Is this the end result of that parenting ideology where you tell your children they can be whatever they want? Yes, your 5'3" daughter can play in the NBA; yes, your clumsy son is destined for a career as a prima ballerina. No, children cannot be whatever they want to be, but there's a world of opportunity within reason.
Thank you. She can't see that they've gone far, far being 'anti-bullying', to teaching children that everyone has a 'gendered soul'. The irony.
She seems to have started off relatively sensible before veering off into queer theory. Unless I'm greatly mistaken, nothing from the Government or Ofsted requires children to be educated on a theory many consider regressive nonsense from Tumblr and quacks. The association of queer theory with trans (gender dysphoria) is simply ideological.
Some information on Elly Barnes in here, from the good people of Transgender Trend: https://www.transgendertrend.com/educate-celebrate-smashing-heteronormativity-classroom/
There was also mention of this on Mumsnet, but again I can't find the video.
And also, Gendered Intelligence trained the Senior Leadership team at my local Primary
Noooo. I shouldn’t be surprised but good grief

Sounds like more cases of Clever Hansel Effect are breaking out in California schools.
Financed with my tax dollars. We need a referendum to ban this garbage.
This is also happening in some State public high schools in Australia, but if parents are not aware what is going on at their child's school, they will hear nothing about it, because children are told not to discuss this at home

A Key Stage 1 teacher where I worked, referred to a child in her class (he'd been upset when someone mistook him for a girl from behind - like lots of little boys, he had long hair - and that was being discussed) saying 'his pronouns are he/him. I was really taken aback that she was talking about 'pronouns' outside of teaching what they are in grammatical terms. It was the first I knew that young teachers are just steeped in an ideology.
