Apart from what you point out, this has other issues:
"It is against the law in the UK for anyone to be discriminated against because of their gender, sexuality, disability or race. This is because of The Equality Act 2010. "
They miss out other protected characteristics (eg religion or belief) and it is sometimes lawful to discriminate - there are circumstances built in to the Equality Act that permits discrimination under certain conditions. Statements like these might make people think girls and women can't exclude males from some spaces and services for fear of breaking the law when it can be perfectly legal to do so.
Thanks for standing against this propaganda which is actively confusing vulnerable people and is especially sinister when you consider that so many being captured by the cult have autism and mental health needs.
If this is how you write when under pressure, what you produce at other times must be dynamite! Wonderful response - clear, concise and, above all, accurate. Thank you for being one of us.
I used to work for this organisation. A point I keep banging on about is how this new fangled trans inclusive language is so difficult to translate to an easy read format leaving people with learning difficulties even more excluded.
For example how would you make "person with a uterus" easy to understand? There's a two syllable word that already covers that but is not inclusive enough for some people
I was similarly annoyed by my children's youth choir organisation, which recently advertised their new 'Women's Conducting Fellowship'. They felt women were under represented in the field of choir conducting and so were offering this new training post. Great. Until you read the description which states that it's 'open to women and anyone who identifies as a woman'. So...open to anyone then!
Like you I took to my keyboard and complained, but received a reply stating that 'gender reassignment is one of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 so we are beholden to support musicians who identify as women and include them in this opportunity'. This sounded like bollocks to me, but I didn't have enough confidence in my legal knowledge to refute this, so I let it go. It still bugs me, though, knowing that a female may well miss out on a great opportunity.
So the transgender goon squad moves its tendrils towards the disabled.
As one who works with the disabled, and also the parent of a disabled child, I find this utterly vomitable. And I have been through some unbelievably crass and uncomprehending media campaigns allegedly intended to aid this segment by e.g. promoting a barrage of acronyms representing groups who were supposed to help and which even the non-disabled would have trouble figuring out. After a while I came to the suspicion that none of the labyrinthine “easy read” explanations was intended to explain anything at all and was only there to sow confusion whilst supplying employment to people who were even less socially adept than the ones they were supposed to be helping.
But that was relatively harmless do-goodery. Now it’s the trans-mafia sinking their festering claws into the most vulnerable, twisting minds that are already struggling with heaps of nonsense, and terrorising the lonely by implanting totally artificial “discoveries” which are sheer Orwellian distortion.
I don’t believe that any of these mind poisoners are naïvely “attempting to help”. They are fully aware of the chaos and fear they are spreading.
It's unbelievable that this sort of misleading nonsense is being pushed, especially to vulnerable people. Well done Jimmy. We have to challenge this every time we spot it.
Would you believe the British Association of Social Workers is still indirectly signposting children in care to Mermaids for example?
Excellent response. How disgraceful though that people who are already vulnerable are being sent misleading information, clearly influenced by a particular ideology.
Fuckin'A Jimmythefig! Amazing. This is one I'll copy and keep for those times I can't bring myself to have the argument with someone ill informed yet so certain they're right. Thank you.
Excellent!

What a brilliantly written response. Thank you Jimmy! I will be keeping a copy! This kind of propaganda is too widespread.

Great response. It's a lot more polite than the one that I would have written!
Very good, very considered response. Thank you!
Well done, Jimmy--- & Graham --- for sharing it.
Excellent response. How disgraceful though that people who are already vulnerable are being sent misleading information, clearly influenced by a particular ideology.
Biased,inaccurate and deliberately misleading. How can this help any young person trying to make sense of the world?
Well done, JimmyTheFig. Excellent response.
