I need your help to reach beyond SM to find the parents quietly supporting their trans offspring, heads down, staying safe and anonymous.
I need them to sign the Transparent Action pledge.
Growing our numbers will show Streeting supportive parents outnumber the transphobes.
Help me find them.

Let's be honest, many or even most British GCs, including those the Charity Commission decided you and I should fund with our taxes, would privately endorse this position. 👇🏻
At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”
Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

Funny that.
When the Cass report came out and there was an opportunity to destroy an entire area of trans healthcare it was wall-to-wall headlines and opinion pieces.
Now the Levy review says "current system just needs improved and lower waiting lists"... silence. Crickets.
Open editorial bias.

If this post was about Russia every media outlet would be screaming "human rights abuse!" and "Fascist government".
But this is the UK. These people are our neighbours, our friends, our family. And it's OUR government that condemned them to this and is watching, rather smugly, as they die.

The only possible consensus on trans issues between Streeting and Badenoch is his abandoning all pretence of believing in our human rights and agreeing with her that we should be eliminated altogether for our own good.

I doubt she’s really poor - this is to get seen as a ‘victim’ just like Glinner. Obvs happy if she is struggling, bless her - her House of Lords seat will soon remedy this situation.

Not easy to get to sleep tonight - have burnt the bridge of whatever career I had left and really don’t feel that my opinions are so extreme that that should have been necessary
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

The Tribunal’s findings on Sex Matters and Forstater are crystal clear:
• Not skilled evidence
• Not expert
• Not impartial
• Not reliable
• Polemic rather than evidence
• Material that could not support findings of fact
So why are UK news media & politicians listening to them!!??
