RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @sueevansprotect was told by the Tavi “if we don’t offer the hormone treatments the kids won’t come” https://t.co/81RWTd...
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @marcuse99903226 says he saw a steady flow of suicidal transitioners even back in the 80s https://t.co/H2gmdA...
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @marcuse99903226 “usually you rely on medical authority to look after its own house so what do you do when the medical authorities are captured, where do you go?” https://t.co/AXOXQc...
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @HJoyceGender “the main thing it has done is changed me and the way I think about people and institutions that I used to respect.” https://t.co/GVZK1m...
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @Docstockk “I’m very proud of my contribution alongside all these other women” @HJoyceGender “I think what I’ve lost is a confidence that the institutions we have around us are functional” https://t.co/mAmTC2...
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @Docstockk talks about the backlash against her book, but also: “I got hundreds and hundreds of letters from people telling me what my book had helped them do. It was beautiful.” https://t.co/X6BShH...
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @Doctor_Az_ “I actually thought I was the only gender critical person in the world for ages” https://t.co/TkZOzj...
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @millihill speaking about the ‘unsafe and bizarre’ messages we give young girls about periods and their bodies https://t.co/ZMpI16...
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: @RooneyRachel talks about the concept of the gendered soul and the ‘trans toddler’ & the importance of looking after our bodies https://t.co/hvO477...
RT @millihill: Just came across this perfect example of what I was talking about this morning at #factandfiction. Idiocy - but with a slow drip effect to try and erode my livelihood. https://t.co/snwgMo...
RT @VikkiLax1: @Transgendertrd Fabulous event this morning, thank you for organising and thanks everyone on the panel, all inspiring, hearing the impact of speaking was hard. Lots of books to get and more reading! #factandfiction
RT @JKRsBarmyBooks: Stephanie closes the seminar by dedicating it to @jk_rowling - a woman who's 'written a few books'. ❤️🔥 #FactAndFiction
RT @LilyLilyMaynard: #factandfiction such powerful and inspiring words from @michelemooreEd and @brunskellevans at todays webinar with @cwknews. So proud to know you both! https://t.co/4SSqnL...
RT @michelemooreEd: For an update on the video my latest talk for @EdinUniAFAF is now available here along with very powerful talks from Stephanie Davies-Arai @cwknews and Shereen Benjamin https://t.co/gYlnGv... https://t.co/GK1WmU...
RT @Mum3Sun: Michele says there is no room for complacency especially in relation to conversion therapy which is a toxic idea in schools #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Sue says that legal cases have made a huge impact - detransitioners will bring actions that will change things #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Az Hakeem invented a gender dysphoria outcome tool but it is not being used. The Tavistock has failed to gather data on outcomes #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Az Hakeem also thinks that Cass is an excellent clinician. Whether or not the NHS will turn a blind eye remains to be seen #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Hilary Cass has a fantastic reputation for standing up to her trust. She was a great choice to write the review of gender services for children (says Marcus) #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Marcus Evans: your job as a psychotherapist is not to be god like and tell people how to live their lives. No therapist would support a delusion or reject it - they would explore and show curiosity #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Stephanie thanks everyone for joining and supporting @Transgendertrd. She dedicates the webinar to @jk_rowling - strong woman who has never backed down, who has allowed others to join her in speaking out. #factandfiction ...
RT @Mum3Sun: Unless you have experienced people thinking you are a bigot, the experience of being brought to the pillory, you don't know what it's like #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Kathleen has understood the role of iconoclasts and slightly antisocial people who speak out. She is proud is her contribution alongside all the many amazing women who have spoken out #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Kathleen makes the important point that Stephanie has suffered for speaking out and her bravery has been striking #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: The webinar has followed a chronological story. Now we have reached a point at which the world really is different and the conversation is changed, says Stephanie #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: The world now looks a little off, says Helen. And now there is a shifting to a different world #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: This experience has changed her, Helen says. She has lost a lot of respect for people she previously respected. She understands the position of people she previously dismissed #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Helen thinks much less of public policy fora who have failed to question this issue. Technocratic centrists turn out to be jobsworth cowards #factandfiction The institutions holding the ring have failed to interrogate outrageous claims
RT @Mum3Sun: Helen's book has also changed her life and her career - she wasn't forced out and the Economist have been very supportive, but she is now on leave working for @SexMattersOrg #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Sue was working at the Tavistock in the early 2000s and she was appalled by the inadequate assessment of young people with very complex backgrounds. She saw that there were influences on the clinic from activist organisations ...
#factandfiction All funds raised today will support us to continue our invaluable work; creating dynamic resources, lobbying policy makers and promoting evidence-based care and child-centred policies in this area. Thank you! https://t.co/2Ykwhq...
RT @Mum3Sun: Freddie McConnell refused to appear on a platform with her and there has been an impact (though hard to quantify) on her career. But she has no regrets #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: The most painful aspect was the attacks from colleagues with whom Rachel had worked for 20 years. Her most recent book was ignored - even friends said they didn't dare retweet or like them #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Authors contacted Rachel privately and said that they supported her but had mortgages and children and couldn't offer public support. But JKRowling sent a supportive tweet #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: The slurs and defamation were done from behind a block and so Rachel couldn't respond. Rachel's tweets were screen shotted and she was told she should remove all support for @Transgendertrd
RT @Mum3Sun: Rachel wrote to the Society of Authors - knowing that they had changed the definition of sex and gender and that some of the committee were tweeting against Rachel #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Rachel's agent was contacted with demands that her 'terrorist' agenda was excluded from schools. There was an onslaught that is still going on #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Rachel now faced a lot of online threats but what really shocked her was the response from the children's literature world who called her 'bigoted, transphobic, like Tommy Robinson'. These claims came from published authors ...
RT @Mum3Sun: And now the response to Rachel's gentle book - 240 words a lot of which are repeating. The responses highlight the crazy nature of transgender activism. A tweet from a troll describing it as 'terrorist propaganda' went viral ...
RT @Mum3Sun: The publishers were facing a lot of pressure and they seemed to panic but Milli knew that new terminology would only attract opprobrium on twitter #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Milli was offered her advance back - but resisted the demands and didn't want 'sensitivity readers' #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Once the publishers realised there was no mention of trans boys having periods they wanted changes and Milli wasn't willing to make changes in a completed text #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Parents and clinicians at the Karolinska contacted Heather and Michele. This was the start of their fight back campaign. The first two detransitioners who came to their meeting in Stockholm decided to set up a network #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Tavistock demanded prepublication access to the manuscript with the power to correct it. The publisher wanted to agree but Heather and Michele resisted this demand #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Heather and Michele put together a second book with more contributors - but then there was a letter from the Tavistock's lawyers to try to stop publication #factandfiction
#factandfiction The first book edited by @michelemooreEd and @brunskellevans was withdrawn from the Tavistock library after a complaint was raised about the content of the book. https://t.co/To4hK3...
RT @Mum3Sun: Attempts to silence Heather - to tell her that she couldn't speak out - were a red flag showing her that she had to speak out #factandfiction
RT @Mum3Sun: Heather and Michele organised a secret meeting in 2016 with Lisa Marchiano and Carey Callahan to discuss what to do. The crucial decision was that contributors would write in their own names #factandfiction
#factandfiction 'Transgender Children and Young People: Born in Your Own Body'(2017) can be purchased from Cambridge Scholars here: https://t.co/zKSMPS... and 'Inventing Transgender Children and Young People'(2019) from here: https://t.co/VAOHWg...
RT @Mum3Sun: a really serious discussion had to take place - but junior colleagues then threatened @michelemooreEd's career and her editorship of the leading disability journal #factandfiction
#factandfiction SDA: Today's talks take you through the first books to challenge the social and medical transition of children, books published for clinical professionals and books written for a wider public.
#factandfiction SDA: We also print and distribute a booklet for detransitioners, produced by the detrans support group Post Trans @post_trans. https://t.co/1cdu7P...

RT @thetimes: Providers of sex education in schools are teaching children that prostitution is a “rewarding job” and failed to advise a 14-year-old girl having sex with a 16-year-old boy that it was illegal https://t.co/fzCIn4...
