@ddonnelly.bsky.social explores the Legacy of Section 2A and finishes by saying, "We will not allow their identities to become unspeakable again."

The thing about the Linehan case is that either the Judge is sympathetic to 'gender critical' ideology or British law thinks it's perfectly acceptable for a 57 year old man to stalk, doxx and physically attack a 17 year old girl.
Both explanations are horrifying.

If Linehan can call that child a sissy, AGP, and misgender her, and be found not guilty of harassment, then I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL to not give a hoot about legal threats from GCs for "libeling" them when you point out that they're nazi-adjacent bigots, funded by the American right. Oh, and nonces.

There is absolutely no medication/drug which is treated anywhere near like this. And this is before we even get to the fact that it's only banned SPECIFICALLY for trans youth.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

This brings shame on Glasgow. How do the reasonable parents/carers and teachers at this school explain to the children what these people are doing?
Go and protest at the city chambers if your racism is calling you to action but keep it away from the children.

Just to clarify: we don’t actually know whether Hilary Cass recommended a ban on puberty blockers. The Cass Review itself doesn’t say that. Instead, the DHSC sought “evidence” from three “experts”, including her, which was kept secret.
