And the general public still thinks all of this is about a small minority. It's a war on reality affecting everyone. This is the biggest scandal of generations.
I also work in the public sector and nearly had a stand-up row with our "Head of Diversity and Inlusion" in a training session about the distinction between gender and sex in around 2018.
THIS (also a public sector worker). The number of colleagues, including the ones responsible for training, who believe that gender identity, rather than gender reassignment, is the protected characteristic. Passing the ignorance on to others, who have the authority to make decisions affecting other people’s lived.
Yup. I've mentioned in the comments a few times too. Where I work the D&I training is the same (it is available across the CS) and where I work they go one step further encouraging everyone to be more inclusive by displaying our pronouns and grooming us into using more inclusive language. Full on indoctrination going on. What is more my department is still a bloody Stonewall Champion as far as I know FFS. Our Women's Network was recently renamed the Women's Inclusive Network as it wasn't inclusive and now includes, well anyone, so what's the bloody point? Culturally, they are completley captured and being rules by D&I staff in HR - so many jobs rely on furthering this BS. Staff that are GC are being silenced across the CS in case they are seen to be non-inclusive.
Apparently Stonewall added a disclaimer to the bottom of their website in the Summer which basically washes their hands of liability if people follow the garbage on the site.
Drip. Drip. Drip. The constant erosion of the truth. Facts being replaced with 'gender' cultists' wannabe 'facts'. Repeated so often, they become seemingly true. People not doing their homework. People too afraid to do their homework. The cult requires silence and acquiescence and that seems to what its getting from most people. Thank god for the whistleblowers. The brave ones.
This stuff makes me rage. It's blatant, coercive and against the law!! We need an army of the next Maya's to stand up, join forces, across the country and push back. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! Too many sheep being lead by wolves.
WTHoly fuck? That's a nightmare of "enlightened" anti-enlightenment woo woo managerial class gas lighting coming down on the actual working classes heads. --- Deserving of dismissal are all those who wrote this up and signed off on it. Intentional misrepresentation is not a small matter in this arena, nor should it ever be so.
At my university we were told to include pronouns if possible to make students feel safe and included. Most staff did so. Including me, until I stopped to think critically. Very senior staff display them proudly. I have seen documents that are in the public realm where under the guise of inclusion staff disclose their 'cis' and heterosexual status. Like your capacity to teach maths or astrophysics or nursing depends on who you fancy or what 'gender' you are asking people to use when you're not even in the room to hear it. We're a Stonewall Diversity champion and I assume it emanates from them. Training in the nuttiness is causing havoc across all sectors.
I’ve had similar training recently when I started a new job. The thing is, if you don’t know anything about the debate, why would you question the information put in front of you. I was also given the organisational email signature with the space for the pronouns included. Again, if you don’t know what the problem is with that and everyone else has it, why question it.
I’ve noticed there is only one woman in my office without pronouns in her email sig. I’m ashamed to admit that I went in with every intention NOT to include pronouns but then when I saw it was already on the footer I didn’t remove it. I totally chickened out. I now think about removing it daily. I’m ashamed of myself.
On the Parliament.uk petition website the petition committee can reject petitions on the basis of a negative focus on gender identity. Even though this is not a protected characteristic.
In practice this means TRAs have raised multiple petitions for GRA / Equality Act reform but any trying to change it from a gender critical perspective are automatically rejected and not published.
The standards for petition say: "We'll have to reject your petition if: It’s offensive or extreme in its views. That includes petitions that attack, criticise or negatively focus on an individual or a group of people because of characteristics such as their age, disability, ethnic origin, gender identity, medical condition, nationality, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation" https://petition.parliament.uk/help
"Expert sexologists," who defined the "trans" diagnosis, operated (pun intended) on the premise that nothing negative happened in the patient's childhood, there is no cause in the environment giving the patient this mental illness, this body dissociation. The political arm of the wealthy male patient metaverse inserted these guidelines, straight out of the oddly anonymous webpage, "Trans Journalists Association Style Guide" into corporate and government policies. It could only happen in the last few decades, as they could search online and find each other, join together to influence. Similarly, kids search online for why they suffer in puberty and get recruited to validate the sex fetishists.
Dr. Stephen B. Levine, et al, paper at taylor&francisonline (Mar. 17, 2022) debunks most of the theories behind affirmation: Informed Consent Reconsidered.
Because of the insidious institutional capture, it will take a decade for detransitioners to expose the truth about "trans." Trans widows try, see at transwidowsvoices.org (I'm Bertina there)
I learned it 30 years ago as the wife of a vulnerable, confused man who'd been abused in childhood, now my ex. I work to counter "affirmation" in body/mind movement connecting the major nerves in the torso, vagus nerve and phenic nerve, to the sense of wellbeing. It is assumed by the public that this work goes on before the letters going to the surgeons. No, there is no physio-therapy path, according to the likes of Blanchard, Zucker and other "experts." They got it wrong.

We all know that the main opposition parties are wholly captured by gender ideology but now we see this has government approval.
Im starting to really tire of meaningless words of support by the sitting government and its MPs.
The Conservative party are in power and have been for several years now.
This madness and everything around it has happened on their watch, by their hand and on their say so.
Warm comforting words are no longer acceptable...they need brought to task on this.

Who is pushing this ?
Stonewall ?
Government?
The buck has to stop somewhere, but where ?
