That's an excellent video, and thanks for sharing it. I would bet that, even on Terf Island, a lot has changed since 2018 in social worker training. The ideology of the elite institutions has surely flowed down to them. I know that, in America, parents have good reason to fear that social workers will take their kids away if they're not "affirming." Sometimes those stolen children are then given to groomers (see the story of Sage Blair).
What Muggeridge says in this video is simultaneously vital and depressing, because people have been required to erect ideological blinders that prevent us from seeing or calling out the groomers in our midst as long as those groomers say they're gender something or lgbtwhatever. The plain old truth she talks about - that social workers need to have a clear sense of what is normal and that is not - is no longer permitted expression not just in elite institutions but across the board in schools, workplaces, hospitals.
Some kids will escape, but the people who created this abomination will never face justice.
Brilliant video from Lisa Muggeridge. Social workers of her calibre are increasingly rare, given how thoroughly the profession has been captured by trans activist ideology. At most, around 1 in 200 people in the UK identify as trans, yet within social work, that figure jumps to roughly 1 in 13. See stats https://substack.meitham.com/p/trans-numbers-in-social-work-in-england
Trans ideology is currently destroying every single safeguard for women, children and gay people. It must be stopped, maybe if we say to the politicians who have ignored the supreme court decision that for every child transed one of yours, be it sister, aunt, granny, daughter, cousins must also be transed....no thats a stupid idea but there must be severe consequences for the pushers of this degenerate cult
I'm also afraid they will never face justice. The overwhelming majority of them will just crawl quietly back into the woodwork, memory-hole this whole sordid, grotesque, destructive chapter, and hope the rest of us will forget.
We won't. We won't forget. But neither will we be able to exact justice.
I was radicalised by woke folk and what they enabled. I couldn't believe that identity was more important than physical reality—or that people I knew would demonise me first for asking questions, then for speaking out against the appalling abuses against women and girls.
We are not support animals or validation machines, we are human persons with demands, needs, and rights specific to our sex. I will die on that hill. What annoys me is that there are people who want to make sure I do—at least on the social level.
Bless her. What an excellent video. I was never radicalised. I just never saw the "new clothes", but rather the whole naked reality and what I was being told was not real - that men could be women and that somehow their "rights" over rode those of women. But mostly it was how the "stunning and brave" and their allies actually behaved. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
Such a good video!! Spot on. And yes the Guardian is so guilty on this.
I was blissfully unaware until a trans identifying man was invited to be the key speaker by the dreadful D &I team at the international women’s day event and I went “sorry??! Are you completely insane!” Sent a stroppy email to HR. Apparently it got attention and a colleague approached me for the first time and said “I didn’t know you were gender critical”. I asked “what’s that” and the rest is history.
Brilliant Graham. Thank you for reminding me. And thank you to Lisa. And Magdalen.
Lisa's video is so beautifully expressed. It's so normal how they challenge us. This endless effin challenge to look cute, look clever, look a bit dangerous (like the woman thinking she was clever in asking what normal is). It's straight from the playbook. Ooh but what is normal, what is a boundary, what is knowledge, what is power. But, but, that's merely your perception or opinion. No. It's claptrap. To bog us down in the weeds. To unpick our instincts and natural caution and protective inclinations. The law. We all know - they know, we know, they know we know, we know they know we know...round and round with this knowing, arch emptiness. And while they noodle around in identitarian politics others and the genuinely vulnerable are harmed. Actual harm. Everyone is then too nervous, it's all too risky to act, then genuine risk assessments are tipped upside down like everything else. Everyone waits. Everyone slides responsibility, we all lose our bravery under relentless attack.
And this has refreshed my memory - it's the words, always the words. Words describe everything - structures, concepts, feelings, reality, shared and unshared. Experience. Truth. Lies. We DO have a shared reality. There is objective truth. There is right and wrong. There is male and female. It's an excrutiatingly simple way to destabilise us, anyone countering their waffle and that moment where our instinct is challenged. It takes milliseconds that first pause. To be doubted and informed in their patronising, sneery way, no, that doesn't mean that, it means this. That moment where the unsaid, the given, the normal and understood and known and generally very much agreed in almost every culture is very overconfidently challenged. Once they unpick that, then all hell breaks loose. As it has been in these academified spaces. Supposedly professionalised professions. That then leaked out and polluted everywhere else.
So we're halfway there: now we can talk about familial abuse of children, but are still stuttering over institutional abuse. Why the pedo***** roots of WAPATH is still not common knowledge is infuriating. Sigh: it's 1970, and Dad was the MOST avuncular, funny, warm. So why did 2 uncles tell my mother they wouldn't allow their daughters to play at our house? When I got older - s*** hit the fan, but the biggest shock? I learned sexual abuse of children by a family member was so common -- every 3 or 4 children!!! ???!!! Where was OUR Very Special ABC After School Special of the Week?How was this ignored by our story-telling culture? I mean, the horrific abuse of women in every other tv show or movie is the the fulcrum upon which heroes do their thing. sigh. Then - as now - gatekeepers benefit from refusing to play this narrative out in the billion dollar industry shaping our perception of 'normal - of 'reality'. That would be telling. And the best hat-trick? Normalizing the idea that every kind of sexual appetite is ok and should be supported. Jesus wept.

Of course there is hope in my statement too, but I really think they will face justice. The tides are turning. Slowly. Much to slow but they do.
I also hope they face justice

Great to hear what peaked you, Graham.
