Once again the tories (ffs) showing up Labour, Lib Dems, & Greens. I sincerely hope all of the celebs & showbiz scientists who've spent years loudly promoting hormone/puberty blocker child abuse are worried - they should be!

This is really good news (I hope) for James Esses, who has been one of those brave people taking this into the courts on behalf of the rest of us. And yes, well done to Stephanie Davies-Arai. A lovely woman who has worked so hard - had to be so diplomatic and cope with the slurs (Stonewall wrote to every Local Education Authority and told them not to read the Transgendertrend Advice to Schools - which was safeguarding and Equality Act-compliant, unlike their quasi-religious drivel). I have had to use her advice in the past, and she was so kind and supportive

Just told a Labour rep on my doorstep about this and how the Tories were showing them up so much and gaining so much support on this issue. Asked how Starmer who seems a reasonable guy had gone so insane. Would not meet Lab Womens Declaration for example. Rep made various comments including that Starmer must have been influenced by others around him. But he agreed that it was not the right policy. Said it had seemed a minor issue. I said it may have seemed that but it has huge implications

I asked a social worker involved in transing youngsters how if you take your daughter to Nigeria for FGM you face a prison sentence but take your son to Thailand for castration and you do TED talks and get lottery money. She sounded horrified and ended the conversation... I genuinely wanted her answer but she didn't have one. Hopefully those involved have to start explaining themselves soon

And thanks due to YOU, Graham - thank you so much for everything you've done, and for the sacrifices you've made.

I wouldn't have seen what was happening if it wasn't for you. I wasn't on the right radar, Stonewall’s 'no debate' strategy had kept it under wraps (they're antidemocratic worms - if it was a good policy you'd think they'd be proud to ask the public to agree).

I followed on twtr for jokes, found myself in the infantry, a defendant in the war on women. Thank you again x

Javid is not reported to have said public enquiry, just inquiry. I would love a public enquiry but we have to see what format it actually takes. And the resources and scope.

Some comments on Kellie-Jay Keen video Susie Green's TED talk.

My favourite

"The woman is clearly a compulsive liar."

"This is a textbook case of Munchausens by proxy. Susie Green really only talks about her own feelings and trauma. And then projects it on her child."

"If it was her first child, why was she buying him 'feminine' toys anyway? Even if he had sisters, they wouldn't have been old enough to play with 'feminine' toys when Jack was two, and so the only conclusion that one can come to is that she'd bought those toys for him in the first place. Something doesn't add up."

"Why does a 6 year old know that there is an operation to remove a person's genitals? Who told him, and under what context?"

There has to be some system of performance management of some of the doctors who have pushed this stuff through the NHS. For example Dr Michael Brady, Dr Anthony James, Dr Adrian Harrop, Dr Katie McDowell . Dr Nikki Kanani who is the head of Primary Care for NHS England is also very dodgy on trans issues and has undoubtedly done major damage to reality based care behind the scenes.

I'm keeping everything crossed that this is what leads to the dam bursting. Gender ideology is so mental that nothing it guaranteed but this feels like it might just be the beginning of a breakthrough.

I don't know what "golden bridge" is there for all the gender ideology puppets to retreat across but if the inquiry is suitably damning - and how can it not be? - they should be left with no option but to accept it. Just bringing the horror stories and the intensely cruel stupidity out in the light will finish it.

The duplicity of this movement is revealed the more it is brought into the sunlight. My heart rejoices in the small steps the GC people are achieving in England, but here in Canada legislation is being passed to make GC opinions hate speech, punishable by fines and/or prison sentences. Trudeau does not have and never did have women's interest at heart.

I believe a lot of the funding and donations for Mermaids came from ignorance and a feeling that it was ‘the right thing to do’. That it was just a simple matter of a few drugs that weren’t harmful and surgery on children who were completely sure they were ‘trans’. People didn’t look deeply enough into the subject. So much harm comes from ignorance and ‘be kind’.

Suddenly Mermaids is looking for a new head of Legal & Policy. The existing one has deleted their Twitter.

Zoladex, prostap..I deal with these daily at work with oncology patients, I’m a breast cancer survivor myself so young women removing their healthy breasts terrifies me. The side effects of these injections are horrendous, psychological scarring, a constant reminder of a potentially fatal diagnosis. For many men with prostate cancer and women with metastatic breast cancer it’s pretty much all that’s keeping them alive. These drugs are damaging with well known long term

complications, and we continue to push them to physically healthy young women? This makes me weep on a regular basis.

I’m hoping it’s not just words. But blimey, that’s huge.
