🚨 NEW: Parents are threatening legal action unless ministers restore separate toilets for girls and boys in schools.
One father told me his 14-year-old daughter started skipping school to avoid using the mixed-sex toilets. She had heavy periods, and when she went into a cubicle to clean herself up, boys would bang on the door and shout, ‘I know what you’re doing.’
If the blood didn’t flush away straight away, they’d call her a ‘dirty cow’.
Parents weren’t told the toilets were changing, he says. When they complained, they were told, ‘That’s the way it is now.’
The families have commissioned legal advice which says schools could face court action if they fail to protect pupils’ privacy, dignity and safety.

As a mum whose family was dragged the the 2020 “gender dysphoria” trend by my then 11yo and the psychologist, we allowed the social stuff but no meds, were referred to a group of about 14 kids as a “social support” group. 13 of them, including my daughter are now back to identifying as their birth sex. The only outlier is an enormous autistic boy, 6ft2, who everyone is kind of terrified of, wears dresses and KISS make up and is now in a relationship with an autistic girl identifying as a boy/wolf. The two of them have complex pathologies, she uses a baby voice and they have no friends outside of internet fetish groups.
Most of the kids were not medicated, but 2 were, both detrans, one has arms full of horrible scars. The other is 19, balding, with facial hair and a gravelly voice. She’s furious at her parents for giving in to her 14yo tantrums and putting her on testosterone.
The kids are not ok. Thank the Gods mine is, now. But it was YEARS of hell, and tiptoeing around eggshells. Because of sick groomers like Tatchell.

As it says in The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht, more than a decade ago trans activists gamed that getting men into women’s prisons was their Trojan Horse into all public institutions and policy. Today, confirmation that their cunning plan failed, thanks to all the amazing women who would not be silenced 💚🤍

Today the Conversion Practices Bill joint committee were told by multiple witnesses, including those supporting the legislation, that the Bill is insufficient and lacks clarity.
Dr Alison Berner (President at British Association of Gender Identity Specialists) told the Committee that "the devil will be in the detail of the guidance" which she says will be needed to complement the Bill.
Dr Lisa Morrison (Chief Regulation & Standards Officer at British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) agreed that additional implementation guidance would be required to clarify the Bill.
This is an admission that therapists, parents and others cannot simply read the Bill and determine whether they are engaged in criminal conduct.
As Dr Anna Hutchinson (Clinical Psychologist) warned about attempts to interpret the Bill or define additional guidance: "who gets to decide what standards are reasonably expected in a divided field?"
Using criminal legislation in a bid to search for clarity in such a contentious area is an extraordinary step and will harm the children and young people most in need of support.

“Gender-affirming care” doesn’t mean what you think…
It’s a euphemism, and a dangerous one as it softens what is actually being done to minors.
But here’s what the language hides:
🚩 “Top surgery” means removing healthy breast tissue. Once it’s gone, the ability to breastfeed is gone forever.
🚩 “Bottom surgery” means removing and reconstructing the genitals, often using skin grafted from other parts of the body. It carries long-term risks of infection, numbness, and loss of sensation.
And yes, these surgeries are happening to young people! 🚨
A 2023 study in JAMA Network Open estimated that 3,678 patients ages 12 to 18 underwent gender-affirming surgeries from 2016 to 2020, including 3,215 breast/chest surgeries and 405 genital surgeries.
Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones aren’t minor interventions either. ➡️
The 2025 HHS review of pediatric gender medicine found they carry risks including infertility, sexual dysfunction, impaired bone density, cardiovascular and metabolic disease, and adverse cognitive effects.
Minors can’t fully grasp risks like these, let alone consent to losing their fertility before adulthood. ‼️
Yet these procedures are regularly discussed, and normalized from a young age for the gender-confused child.
The euphemisms hide the grisly reality of what these procedures mean. And the affirm-only approach means children are never given another option or way to solve their gender distress.
Children deserve the chance to grow up whole, before anyone makes permanent decisions about their bodies. ❤️🩹

I look back at what happened to me and still struggle to comprehend it.
I defended women’s rights. I supported JK Rowling. I raised concerns about the medical treatment of children questioning their gender and the influence of commercial interests.
Then came serious allegations, investigations and BBC coverage that I felt presented a deeply unfair picture of me. I even sought advice about an injunction.
The first investigation cleared me, yet I apologised. A second investigation followed, with lawyers involved.
After resigning, I lost the company I had founded and built over seventeen years, a company bearing my own name. I also lost access to my company email, phone and family photographs. The professional and personal consequences were devastating.
I stand by my defence of women’s rights and my concern for children.
When I think about my experience alongside those of Denise Fahmy, Kate Clanchy, Rachel Rooney and other artists, I see a culture in which expressing a belief can put an entire career at risk.
Against the backdrop of allegations concerning prominent men in entertainment, I keep thinking about how the arts respond to questions of harm and responsibility.
Where was that care when women were losing work for defending our rights and raising concerns about children?
How the fuck did we get here?

I haven't been on this site for a bit.
But I haven't seen anyone share the photo the New Statesman staff staged in 2013 of Russell Brand as Christ, and themselves as his disciples. It seems to have been scrubbed from the web.

As the world emerges from the chaos wrought by the trans movement, the monstrous incongruity between what well-meaning people thought they were supporting and the reality of what has occurred is becoming clear.
Every day, more people wake up to the fact that trans rights was never an ordinary civil rights cause. It was never about equal rights or an end to the discrimination of a long-marginalized group.
It was a total rewrite of reality—a movement intent on bending the world around the false belief held by a tiny number of people who didn’t recognise themselves as mentally ill.
What was sold as medically necessary, life-saving care has turned out to be an atrocious medical crime committed by true believers blind to the brutality of the procedures they perform.
And what the unsuspecting masses thought was a progressive quest for equal rights has instead resulted in the obliteration of women’s rights, the suppression of scientific scrutiny, the erosion of free speech, and the dismantling of child safeguarding.

Kein Arzt auf dieser Erde kann ein Geschlecht ändern. Er kann es nur simulieren.
Warum wir heute gesunde junge Körper zurechtschneiden, damit sie in alte Klischees passen - und es "Fortschritt" nennen.
Man verkauft uns den aktuellen Trans-Boom als grosse Befreiung von alten Zwängen.
Ich habe diesen Weg über drei Jahrzehnte lang selbst gelebt - von den ersten Hormonen 1995 und der grossen Operation 1998 bis zu meinem Entschluss zur Detransition im Spätsommer vor zwei Jahren. Doch wer glaubt, man könne einfach aufwachen und alles sei wieder gut, der täuscht sich gewaltig.
Im Alltag lebe ich heute zwar endlich wieder authentisch als der Mann, der ich immer war. Aber körperlich gibt es kein vollständiges Zurück. Ein so tiefgreifend operierter Körper kann keine eigenen Hormone mehr bilden. Nach über 30 Jahren künstlicher Hormone stecke ich heute in einer extrem heiklen hormonellen Umstellung - und bleibe mein Leben lang Patient und Abnehmer der Pharmaindustrie. Ich lebe mit körperlichen Formen und Folgen, die für immer irreversibel sind. Man zieht diese Rolle nicht einfach wieder aus. Man bezahlt den Preis ein Leben lang.
Gerade weil ich diesen Preis am eigenen Leib kenne, blicke ich mit grosser Sorge auf die heutige Entwicklung. Natürlich gibt es diese Gruppe von Menschen, die seit frühester Kindheit das tiefe Gefühl in sich tragen, sich ihrem biologischen Körper nicht zugehörig zu fühlen, und sich im Erwachsenenalter bewusst für diesen Schritt entscheiden. Deren Lebensrealität spreche ich nicht ab.
Aber der heutige riesige Boom bei Kindern und Jugendlichen hat damit fast nichts mehr zu tun. Durch soziale Medien, Freundeskreise und den Zeitgeist wird ein Weg als schnelle Lösung verkauft, der für die allermeisten in eine Sackgasse führt. Das ist kein Fortschritt, sondern ein Rückschritt in die engsten Geschlechter-Klischees, die wir längst hinter uns lassen wollten.
Über Jahrzehnte sind wir als Gesellschaft eigentlich immer freier geworden, was die Rollen von "Mann" und "Frau" angeht. Ein Junge durfte sanft sein, weinen oder aus der Reihe tanzen - und war trotzdem ein richtiger Junge. Ein Mädchen durfte kurze Haare tragen, wild sein und Kleider hassen - und war trotzdem ein richtiges Mädchen.
Heute sind die Schubladen wieder enger als je zuvor. Wenn heute ein Junge sanft ist oder ein Mädchen sich in der Pubertät im eigenen Körper fremd fühlt, sagen wir ihnen viel zu oft nicht mehr: "Du bist völlig okay, genau so, wie du bist." Wir pflanzen ihnen den Gedanken ein: "Vielleicht steckst du im falschen Körper!"
Weil ich mir der Tragweite dieser Entwicklung bewusst bin, erfüllt mich das mit grosser Sorge. Statt die engen Klischees in unseren Köpfen aufzulösen, schneiden wir lieber die gesunden Körper junger Menschen zurecht, damit sie wieder in alte Schablonen passen. Das ist nicht modern. Es zeigt nur, wie sehr wir verlernt haben, junge Menschen in ihrem "Anderssein" einfach anzunehmen.
Dazu kommt eine Wahrheit, die man jungen Menschen oft verschweigt. Man nennt das Ganze verharmlosend "Geschlechtsangleichung". Doch sprechen wir es nüchtern aus: Kein Arzt auf dieser Erde kann das Geschlecht eines Menschen ändern.
Jede einzelne Zelle meines Körpers war in all diesen Jahrzehnten männlich. Ich bin durch Operationen und Tabletten nie zur Frau geworden - ich habe 30 Jahre lang jeden Tag gegen meinen biologischen, männlichen Körper angekämpft, um nach aussen eine weibliche Hülle aufrechtzuerhalten. Medizin kann ein Geschlecht nicht wechseln. Sie kann es körperlich nur simulieren. Wenn die tiefere Ursache in Wahrheit ein seelischer Schmerz ist, opfert man einen gesunden Körper für eine Illusion, deren Folgen man nie wieder abstreifen kann.
Bei mir war es nie der falsche Körper. Ich war damals einfach ein junger, verletzlicher Mensch mit seelischen Wunden, der nicht wusste, wohin mit seinem Schmerz. Ich gebe dafür niemandem die Schuld und trage die volle Verantwortung für meinen Weg. Ich steckte damals in einem solchen Tunnelblick, dass ich mir diese vermeintliche Lösung selbst erzwingen wollte und gar nicht bereit war, wirklich hinzuschauen.
Doch genau weil ich diesen blinden Tunnelblick - und den hohen Preis danach - von innen kenne, weiss ich heute: Ich brauchte damals kein Skalpell und keinen neuen Namen. Was ich, und was die meisten jungen Menschen heute in Wahrheit gebraucht hätten, ist die Erkenntnis: "Du bist liebenswert, genau so, wie du bist. Du musst dich nicht ändern und nicht "abschaffen", um geliebt zu werden. Du darfst ein sensibler, suchender, zweifelnder Mensch sein - und bist genau richtig so."
Wenn wir unsere Jugend schützen wollen, müssen wir wieder genau hinschauen, statt jede Flucht vor sich selbst blind als "Mut" zu beklatschen.
Fortschritt heisst nicht, gesunde Organe wegzuschneiden, weil jemand nicht ins Raster passt. Echter Fortschritt heisst, jungen Menschen zu helfen, in ihrer eigenen, unverletzten Haut ein Zuhause zu finden.
Bevor sie einen Preis bezahlen, den kein Mensch mehr rückgängig machen kann. 🙏

WRN Wales members took to the streets of Carmarthen today to spread the word about the dangers of mixed-sex changing rooms in clothing stores, as part of our Red Flag Campaign.
Lots of interesting conversations, including:
🚩 The teenage girls who told us they liked it when it was just girls in shop changing rooms (more fun) and they didn’t like boys in their toilets at school either.
🚩 The dads of daughters who fear for their safety in mixed-sex spaces.
🚩 The women who won’t try clothes on in store because ‘I don’t want to be in a cubicle next to a man’.
Our message to retailers… customers don’t like mixed-sex changing rooms.
The safest changing room is a single-sex changing room.

Stonewall has been given unprecedented access to Downing Street and helped the Labour Government draw up its “chilling” Conversion Practices Bill.
The Telegraph has revealed that the controversial charity has been supplying Downing Street with research to justify the proposed law.
Under the Bill, parents, therapists and religious leaders could face up to five years in prison for having important conversations with gender-confused children or sharing their faith’s teachings on sex, gender and marriage with their congregations.
Stonewall’s head of policy was reportedly invited to a meeting at 10 Downing Street to discuss the proposed law and made recommendations to the MPs scrutinising the Bill.
Dennis Kavanagh, director of the Gay Men’s Network and a criminal barrister, said his organisation had not been offered similar meetings. He told The Telegraph: “The level of government access afforded to Stonewall is extraordinary, particularly in view of their extreme position on gender matters and their poor track record in accurately stating the law.”
Published in June, the Bill’s impact assessment cited a Stonewall survey to argue that conversion practices were so prevalent that new legislation was needed — even though conversion practices are already illegal.

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids.
They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex."
The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️
"Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex. Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”

Very proud to be part of the documentary “Who Decides?”
But I must say: the heart & soul of the film is a woman named Tess Hackett, who lost her daughter to transgender ideology. Hers is one of the most heartbreaking stories I have heard in this madness and a must listen. I’d go through the stupidest court case of all time 1000 times rather than go through losing a child to this evil ideology. 💔
