William Nicolle Oats, 1990:
“The biggest threat to the future of humanity is not the atomic bomb, but the provincial mind, the limited outlook, the myopia which prevents us from seeing beyond our own immediate interests.

Me to sledgehammer-wielding man at the splintered front door of my student house, ‘Excuse me, but who do you think you are?’ He said, ‘Father Christmas.’ Me, ‘You’re not Father Christmas. You’re a bloody burglar.’ He ran, I followed. It didn’t end well.

Schools are captured in UK. My kid is at one where they’ve appointed a girl as head boy, & staff have pronouns in email signatures. Complaints result in snotty declarations from the head that children can actually change sex. My kid is in y13 and ready to quit before A levels.
@mjeslfc
Well done to your daughter. Please let her know that she has lots of sensible allies who are fighting this nonsense.
Dylan is just the latest groomer inculcating girls & young women to this pernicious ideology. Your daughter has seen through the pink glitter. Brava!
@Waterstones
has removed my review of graphic novel ‘Welcome to St Hell’ so I post it here instead.
This is an appalling self-harm manual. There is no such thing as a ‘trans child’: there are distressed children who will do just what they are sold. 1/2

Imagine that tomorrow morning every man in the world were to wake up and declare, ‘I am a woman!’
Are you seriously suggesting that there’d be no men left on the planet by bedtime?

@STILLTish
The middle-aged nurses protected the young ones. When Savile was in the building the ward sisters wouldn’t let me - a new graduate - off our unit. They all had stories of being groped by that mangy old bastard. Performative charity work is a disturbingly effective smokescreen.

@CHIMPSINSOCKS
You are right. A display of fetishistic behaviour in front of babes in arms is not ‘entertainment’, but grooming of their mothers to accept the pornification of every aspect of their lives. How can they safeguard themselves & their children when boundaries are violated like this?
@oliverbrown_tel
Transitioned from what to what? Rubbish - just tell the truth. It’s a man. A man who - for reasons we all know but will not say - wants to insert himself into the lives of little girls.
@SarahVaci
Pronouns in English are sex-based. Anyone attempting to compel the speech of others is dangerous. Anyone lying about something as fundamental as their sex cannot be trusted. This isn’t difficult.
@fliceverett
Deciding whether to sit feeling like a bloody Borrower with back reasonably supported, but legs sticking straight out, or like a prim Victorian schoolmarm, feet firmly on floor but no support from the back of the chair/sofa. Grrr.
@DatCatDer
The police took a statement on the doorstep and that was it. Two weeks later I saw the fake 🎅 at a dodgy car boot sale in Leeds and called the police again. I don’t think anything was done. But it’s a good story of jolly student days and youthful stupidity.
@Transgendertrd
I want to know what safeguards are in place on set for this child. The shoulder-groping is abusive, exposure to this ideology is harmful - how are the producers keeping this child safe?

How does it happen that ‘you’ can be born in the ‘wrong body’? You are your body and your body is you, Dan. Or is Cartesian dualism making a comeback in your neck of the woods?

@jk_rowling
Fear is a necessary and useful response, and frequently absolutely reasonable. Demonstrably violent man incarcerated with you? No safe refuge from his attention and actions? Your government and captors complicit in this abuse of you? Trust that fear.
Distressed children who are vulnerable to social contagion. Distressed children who cannot understand that they are being manipulated. Distressed children who do not yet understand that adults with nefarious intent lie to them. 2/3

They were good women. Had they had the slightest inkling that he was assaulting patients they would have made mincemeat of him.
@DatCatDer
I ran after him, shouting…. I’m tiny and he was v big. I threw myself into a phone box shouting about calling the police, which I did. While I was on the phone he can back IN HIS CAR and drive it at the phone box. Suddenly the helicopter was overhead. He scarpered.
@jwhittak_physio
You misunderstand ‘intersex’. This is a dated and unhelpful term applied to people with differences of sex development. Each and every DSD is sex-linked, which means that each and every person with a DSD is either male or female. There is no third sex.
@Isla_macy
Imsorryhellowhat? It takes some chutzpah to profess to not like either gossiping, or ‘putting stuff out there that’s unfounded’ and in the next breath to broadcast vile, defamatory bilge.
@DatCatDer
I’d seen a couple of lads on bikes - no lights - cycling up the road and I’d been following them, had seen them stashing stuff in a hedge. I’d gone back to my house to use the phone (this was 1995) and only realised after the 🎅 interaction that they were working together…

My mum blamed TV for obscuring materials truths behind swirling screens and fancy graphics. Children could no longer trust the evidence of their own perfect eyes.
@DebbieHayton
What is ‘transition’? There’s no amount of cosmetic surgery or medication that can make a man less male. Any transmogrification is only in the imagination of the ‘trans’ person - it’s not a reality. No man should be parading his fetish in front of non-consenting others.
@grace_hawthorn
@STILLTish
He liked a particular restaurant in Roundhay - I think now that it was because it was affordable for young people. He’d sit with his back to a wall, legs splayed, leering at all the women in the room. A mangy old bastard.
For those who want to know what they can do this week to hold the line and uphold safeguarding. Share your ideas, galvanise support, do something! With

My mum retired from early years specialist teaching eighteen years ago.
In the last few years of her career she had become confounded by reception class children suddenly apparently losing their sense of object permanence.

@Mermaids_Gender
You‘ve been treated appallingly, Heather. I’m sure that most Quakers are entirely ignorant of your plight, of the legitimate concerns that you (and others) raise, & of the lack of right ordering in this matter. Silencing and shunning are definitely not Quakerly, yet here we are.
@Docstockk
Those children who couldn’t trust the evidence before them in 2001, 2002, 2003 are now aged 23-25 years old. We have a whole generation who have been unable to trust their own senses for their entire lives.
Early years teachers notice things.

Maaate. Do you really think a young serviceman who gets his genitalia blasted by an IED is less male than when he left home?
@JolyonMaugham
Men in frocks are just men in frocks. They do not constitute a separate class of person requiring special treatment. They’re just men whether or not they can pass themselves off as something they can never be. Everyone - e v e r y o n e - knows that human beings can’t change sex.
@rcpsych
@stonewalluk
Oh dear. Does this mean that your staff and membership should now seek to reify the feelings and delusions of practising genderists? Whatever happened to clinical governance and common sense?
@CHIMPSINSOCKS
Me too, Amanda. I wanted the full-on joss-stick delivery in front of the living room fire because of NCT nonsense. I got a 96-hour obstructed labour and an emergency section. Mother and baby saved because of surgical intervention.
Barry is a man of integrity and compassion. Please watch his video and take action.
There are no trans children. There are distressed children who are ripe for exploitation and medical abuse, Those distressed children deserve better. Much better.

@FredSargeant
The gender extremists demand we believe. But they are not going to coerce me into disregarding truth. Page is a woman. To say otherwise is to play into the TRAs’ wet dreams & I will not participate in their sexual activity. Speaking truth doesn’t diminish compassion for victims.

If being pro women’s sex-based rights and pro child safeguarding is ‘anti trans’ then there’s something wrong . And the something wrong is neither women’s rights nor safeguarding.
