Parenting a trans-identified child - Transgender Trend
A really important blog, especially in light of those who push for speedy affirmation and criticise parents who may well have reasonable grounds for caution. https://t.co/GfEbEM...
Utterly shameful. Unions should support all members and a Union for academics should, at minimum, understand the basic tenets of higher education. You have not stepped up at all against the bullying. The Sussex statement was in justification of it. ...
RT @runthinkwrite: 1/ This is what I wrote to the UCU at Sussex, a little while ago (by the way I'm a @ucu member and have no intention of leaving) "Your statement on @Docstockk is beneath contempt. But I'm calling you on it. I don't remotely believe ...
RT @Strobe_Lightly: My good friend Caminos Catalan would greatly appreciate advice on getting their account restored. Please spread the word @blablafishcakes @SamBarber1910 @Yvonne_Biology @awood000 https://t.co/oLYW7R...
The same people piling on to concerned parents or calling professors bigots, also target actual trans people who have the temerity to be independent thinkers. Sian is always decent. Let's drop the pretence TRAs actually care about trans people's ...
This needs to be taken seriously. https://t.co/iqad1j...
RT @ClareCAIS: @ForwomenScot @elliemaeohagan @AyoCaesar For Ash, Owen & Ellie who all seem to be in need of some nuance https://t.co/WiZtVn...
RT @hightreebud: @Gedk @ForwomenScot Even before Covid it could take 18 months for a non-verbal toddler to get a first appointment with a speech therapist. Time is critical in these cases & personally I think the NHS would be better placed to ...
RT @lainy_pie: @Gedk My mum spent 18 months attending Rutherglen HC, fobbed off with inhalers and steroids. Only due to attending OOO GP was she referred to a specialist and diagnosed with lung cancer. I raised this to you when you were MP. You ...
Excellent from @mbmpolicy in @scottishlegal "the work of the group has remained behind closed doors, with no public records available..Despite its pivotal role in shaping the hate crime legislative framework, no minutes of the working group are ...
No, we said medicine should be evidenced based. I'm sorry that you find that problematic. https://t.co/Z6Wuer...
RT @SusannaRustin: Solidarity, again, with @Docstockk But also: if you set out to legitimise hard right anti-'woke' attacks on progressive academia & leftwing cultural institutions more widely (including trade unionism) could you do any better ...
New bizarre conspiracy theory. We aren't women and we have to provide "proof" to random nutters on Twitter (presumably with our name and address?) Also, of being Scottish. https://t.co/bOi8Z7...
Your reminder from Police Scotland that they are not obliged to investigate crimes against women with the same seriousness as they do those below (which incl men going to Rock Horror) Convenient for them, eh? https://t.co/vH9oMS...
Excellent stuff from @polblonde on @BBCWomansHour right now on misogyny.
RT @oliverburkeman: The grim irony of course is that having hundreds of thousands or a million followers ought to make you *far* more careful about the effects of what you tweet, whereas actually what it does is expose you to constant reinforcements ...
This is an extraordinary reply from another journalist to Ash Sakar who has been rightly criticised for indulging in the targeted harassment of a mother. Surely, being on the receiving end should have made her more, not less, sympathetic to others. ...
Assuming this is an example "transmen are men" except when they want to be women's officer, in which case the he/him pronouns are secondary to bio sex. It's funny how it never works the other way round though. https://t.co/rIHgsk...
RT @polblonde: I'm going to be on @BBCWomansHour this morning, talking about #VAWG and misogyny.
