In Sept the Information Commissioner's Office delivered a Decision Notice that supported a London secondary school in keeping a Relationships and Sex Education lesson hidden from parents. I am Appealing against that decision in a First Tier Tribunal. Please support my case.🙏
Great. When that’s done, can Cass please call for an independent inquiry into how she recommended a Puberty Block Trial to conduct medical experiments on healthy children as young as 11?
🚨Hilary Cass has called for an independent inquiry into how Brighton GPs were allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12.“There urgently needs to be an investigation of why every system that should have protected children, young people, and indeed young adults has failed,” she told me.
The employment tribunal between Dr Sarah Redvers and NHS Sussex has highlighted how regulators and the NHS collectively failed to stop prescribing of puberty blockers and hormones against national guidelines - for years - and how instead the person raising concerns was accused of transphobia and herself investigated.
Dr Redvers sat down with me for her only newspaper interview about her treatment in a scandal which, Cass now says, “dwarfs” that of the Tavistock’s GIDS.
Me for the Sunday Times…

And on it goes… 🤦♀️
Another generation lied to, indoctrinated and psychologically interfered with by radicals and fools.
Parents must enquire, speak up and reject this on mass.
Schooling is our public service, paid for by us, to educate our children, according to our consciences and to an impartial standard, based on facts.
It’s time the captured teaching profession, education authorities and our Govt were made to understand that.
Yesterday my son sat through a class where his teacher told him some people were born in the wrong body so they were the opposite sex or had no sex at all. I wasn’t informed this was part of the school curriculum (although I know it is). In the recent past parents were required to give permission for an adult, often outsourced non teaching staff, to speak to minor children about adult concepts like sexuality and gender identity. This is no longer the case. It is now up to us parents to know what our kids are being taught and by whom. Often kids are scared to tell because they know their parents, or any other reasonable adult, would be horrified and they are afraid of their parent making a scene. We need to reassure those kids that won’t happen so they don’t carry any confusion or anxiety they might be feeling about what they were being taught.
Well this is very heartening.
But I hope @Nigel_Farage knows what this promise means… the sheer quantity and scale of legislative changes that stopping gender ideology will entail, plus the full scale war with the teaching unions that will ensue. Not to mention the international legal frameworks, tech industries and commercial forces that want Transhumanist ideology to pervade the globe.

Thanks Ian. I truly take no pleasure in being adversarial in saying these things. I just think someone has to try and change the tone from behind-the-curve lamentation to effective, front foot opposition.
I believe feminism - for all its professed militancy - is still characterised by the amenable nature of women and their tendency to create and police in-group narratives, use discussion and covert means to gradually alter the actions and politics of men, and lacks the instinct to take drastic measures and really finish off an enemy.
This can be effective on slow baked, progressive reform by consensus, but it is utterly useless in the face of a serious, malevolent enemy. Which is what we are facing.

It's nice of @Nigel_Farage to post support on Facebook for my case.
However, many of the comments are extraordinary. People are pontificating with no knowledge of the facts and relying on their ideological prejudices. That's the down side of social media.
In a nutshell, the facts are:
I was fired for not following New College Swindon's Gender Reassignment Policy.
Because I didn't follow this and did not submit to compelled speech I was accused of bullying and harassing Student A.
I was never given an instruction to follow the Gender Reassignment Policy by the college. That instruction came from another student, Student B.
I raised safeguarding concerns that were never properly considered because of the transgender affirmative philosophy of the college.
The Employment Tribunal never considered the issue or the legality of the policy - quite the reverse, they said it was not their concern.
The basis of my appeal is that the policy was illegal by demanding compliance to compelled speech and this fundamental issue was ignored by the Employment Tribunal, and so was an error in law.
Finally, it is important to child safeguarding that Labour lose the next election, and a government is formed that prohibits transgender indoctrination in schools, be that Conservative, Reform or Restore.
Thank you @Nigel_Farage for being explicit on this.

British liberal elites have no idea what they’re doing with trans ideology.
They’re like foolish children wandering around a fireworks factory with a box of matches…
‘Shall we teach the gender bread diagram in schools? Shall we fund mastectomies for 18 year olds on the NHS? Shall we set up clinical trials to block healthy children’s puberty? We just want to be nice and look after everyone’s rights, you see… so we better criminalise parents who dissent…’
‘And how about liberalising surrogacy… why can’t a single man buy a baby, it’s only fair and equal? Perhaps artificial wombs and genetic engineering are the answer to an aging population and the unfair burden on women to procreate? Anyway, men can have children too, you know….’
Barely any of the people engaged in these topics have any idea what they’re truly dealing with - including those who are skeptical of them - because the technological and ideological vanguard is in the US and the propaganda and legal frameworks that have been swaying our country are international.
We cannot keep operating with this level of blindness, otherwise our once admirable country is going to be used as the supposedly credible testing ground for atrocities.
Humanity cannot safely be transposed and made interchangeable with machinery, we cannot swap and change our sex with mutilating surgeries and hormones, nor can babies be mass produced or motherhood bypassed without disastrous consequences. And fusing human soldiers with machines is a terrifying prospect…
Transhumanism - especially its utopian, Sci-fi fallacies - is a frontier that requires urgent ethical attention.
And we should be considering that high functioning autism is not only a technical super power, but a risk factor for inhumane decision making - in surgery, law, defence and so on. As is narcissism, or other personality disorders and perversions in high functioning men.
It is a legal, legislative and constitutional scandal too.
Why do the GC lawyers never tell us that though…?
Gender laws did this.
That this was not presented as a case of psychological child abuse that requires a complete overhaul of safeguarding, rather than an excuse for further medical abuse is a mini atrocity.
And let us not forget that the proposed Conversion Practices Ban will criminalise those who stand against this kind of psychological abuse, so that ‘child gender medicine’ can continue unopposed.
I honestly cannot put into words how dark this situation is.
"they are typically young people who have been socially transitioned since early childhood, and after 18 months of therapy, they still have absolutely no sense or concept of living in their biological gender" - Cass.
What is the answer for these damaged children? What's happened to them is a total societal failure in child safeguarding. That we even have to consider stopping their puberty as a potential next step just shows how low we've sunk.
1/
hansard.parliament.uk/lords/…
So… if C4W were to do more than just lament about this horror show, would they agree that:
- Cass was always dangerously wrong and has green lighted a Mengele-grade atrocity that should have been vigorously opposed from the minute her report was published?
- Tory govts should never have put the Equality Act 2010 into law with the PC of Gender Reassignment in place, because it recklessly frames children as potential ‘Transexuals’ from birth, leading to abusive ‘transition’ in public services?
- Tory Ministers turbo charged the social contagion of ‘trans’ ideology in schools and let it capture medicine in a way that should be considered abject negligence?
- Tories wrongly tried to engage with or control the EHRC and Ofsted to slowly correct this, when in fact these anti-democratic socialist quangos shouldn’t exist and ought to have been shut, in concert with withdrawing from the corrupted ECHR - something that was implicitly mandated by the Brexit vote?
- Conservative activists were too swayed by liberal women’s rights campaigners aiming for incremental gains for single sex services and balancing children’s safety with ‘trans rights’, and didn’t listen closely enough to ‘ultras’, parents and safeguarding experts who understood and warned about the full danger of gender laws and the radical pushers of trans ideology?
Because, only when we tell the truth openly about the catastrophic mistakes the liberal Tories made, can we realise that the solutions must be a complete break with the past. Especially if we are to avoid the totalitarian nature of the proposed Conversion Practices Act.
If the Conservatives ever come to power again, this situation requires hardline policy, fiercely defended boundaries in public services, new prohibitions and criminal sanctions to guarantee safeguarding, an inquiry to expose fault and urgent repeal of gender laws.
Is this what @CforWomenUK will be asking @KemiBadenoch to deliver?
Because I know many parents will vote for nothing less.
Extraordinary testimony from Baroness Cass yesterday on the profile of children who will be part of the *Puberty Blockers Trial*. Little kids who have been 'socially transitioned' from early childhood. Harmed by their parents - reinforced by the State... @Transgendertrd 1/
Explains a lot. My, the damage @Conservatives did… 🤦♀️

The Haldane Principle was significantly narrowed when it was written into the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 creating UKRI.
The 2010 ministerial statement (David Willetts) described it as: decisions on individual research proposals are best taken by researchers themselves through peer review, evaluating quality, excellence and likely impact, and that prioritisation within a research council’s allocation is not a decision for ministers.
It also stated that ministers should not decide which individual projects or researchers receive funding.
The statutory definition in section 103 of the 2017 Act reads:
“the principle that decisions on individual research proposals are best taken following an evaluation of the quality and likely impact of the proposals (such as a peer review process).”
This version drops the explicit reference to decisions being taken “by researchers themselves”, excellence and the clear bar on ministerial involvement in individual project decisions.
Understand that and you are on the way to getting the corruption of Academia.

I have always thought you were one of the more thoughtful commentators on the left. So I’ll explain. Scruton is explaining his instinctual revulsion of violence. This is an excellent instinct to have. Instincts can sometimes be wrong and on further reflection an opinion can change but he was correct on this. Then Scruton said, “It was a lifetimes work to find out what the opposite is.”
And for Scruton it was a lifetimes work to explain this instinct to conserve. They are:

Maybe Doyle is just a poor judge of character?
After all, despite saying he drifted away from his former Leftist colleagues as Woke took hold, he still went on to promote David Hayton on his show, despite the fact that Hayton displays his autoerotic disorder in front of the children he teaches at school, and shaped union policy in ways that compromised single sex spaces and co-opted others into accepting his antisocial behaviour.
And then Doyle blocked anyone who raised child safeguarding concerns about this man pretending to be a woman when in authority over kids, whilst he helped Hayton define his disorder as if it is a valid sexuality called ‘autogynaephilia’… he even sometimes called people who raised this concern homophobic… Will he look back and see that this time he was taking the rather extreme, illiberal line? 🤷♀️
So whilst I agree heartily with his lamentation about the way people have discussed Ann Widdicombe’s death, maybe he should look to his own susceptibility to enact uncaring cancel culture and Leftist liberal insensitivity, especially against women and parents who have so much to lose from appeasing fetish disorders?
Let’s not forget that Ann’s alleged killer had Left wing ‘gender critical’ MP Rosie Duffield on his list. Was he a TRA? An ‘AGP’ even? Who knows, but surely Doyle should have been more open to those expressing concern about ‘trans’ ideology and the laws that enable it?

Look at Bridget Phillipson's language here: a bill that 'allows people to be their true selves', to 'live openly and safely as themselves', that criminalises someone who tries to 'change who someone is'.
The Conversion Practices bill applies in the case of a child who says they're the opposite sex. Think about that.
Apply Phillipson's thinking to the parent of a four year-old boy who says 'mummy, I'm really a girl'.
Or to the parent of a teenage girl who is screaming 'I'm not your daughter I'm your son, you bigot!'
By trying to present the bill as completely reasonable 'common sense measures' Phillipson has only succeeded in exposing its ideological basis. Her language is pure trans activism.

It is worth reflecting further on the promised clarity 'about what the draft Bill does and doesn't do' because it reveals a fundamental problem with the conversion practices legislation as it applies to gender identity.
Bridget Phillipson's key argument is that 'being T+' does not need fixing. But in reality, 'being T+' involves many thousands of children with a host of mental health issues and other vulnerabilities, who reject their healthy body, experience escalating distress and seek unevidenced medical interventions.
That really does need fixing.
When T+ is defined simply as 'who someone is' or people just being 'their true selves', any appreciation that the identity itself could be a maladaptive response to a range of external factors is dismissed. Even worse, the unremarkable understanding that not all identities bring health or happiness is misrepresented as an abusive effort to 'change who someone is'. This is the kind of activist language that led to the chronic safeguarding failings at GIDS and at WellBN.
Under this framing, any denial of personal identity is seen as abhorrent: 'no one should be abused, shamed or threatened into denying who they are'. What is encouraged instead is affirmation of the 'true self' even if 'who they are' involves rejecting their own body.
So this is what the bill would achieve: special protection for an identity linked to unhappiness about the body, and criminalisation of alternative understandings because these could be 'intended to change who someone is'.
“A society which values freedom must protect everyone’s right to live openly and safely as themselves.”
My piece for @IndyVoices on delivering our manifesto commitment to ban conversion practices 👉🏻

This is a key case to watch, and perhaps support if you feel inclined.
It reminds me that when my daughter was repeatedly told she had ‘white privilege’ and might feel ‘anxious and upset’ about it, and should ‘address it’ - despite her being in the 17% minority at her school - whereupon she started being called ‘oi, white girl’ in the playground… I called no less than four Equality Act lawyers for advice on whether this was discrimination by the school, all of which said they would not represent an anti white discrimination case.
The Deputy Head even put on paper that there is no such thing as racism towards white people and so the school I could not possibly have breached their duties under the Equality Act.
This is the reality on the ground in our ‘two tier’ system, which the Equality Act and Human Rights law have brought into place.
🚨Announcement: My lawsuit against the Tavistock is going to trial this November. This is the first ‘anti-White’ harassment case against the NHS & the first 'colour-blind' belief case. I'm claiming my career was ended for disagreeing with Critical Race Theory & ‘anti-racism’
The claims I am bringing are discrimination, harassment, and victimisation. It will be a 20 day trial starting on 4th November with the judgement on 30th November. The Tavistock are calling 13 witnesses. In a recent hearing the judge agreed to include further claims of bullying and harassment as legal disclosure revealed that NHS senior staff at the Tavistock were openly calling me a “fascist” and a “racist”
I do not currently have enough money to pay for the trial. Please, Please, donate, retweet & share my crowdfund:

Bridget Phillipson's assurance that 'refusing to accept a child's identity' will not be prosecutable under conversion practices legislation is contradicted by the bill itself, which says that 'psychological or emotional pressure' with the intention of changing 'transgender identity' could qualify as a criminal offence.
How can Phillipson know how a court will interpret 'refusing to accept a child's identity' given the vague and open-ended definitions in the bill?
An op-ed by a politician will be scant consolation when a parent is facing a criminal claim or a protection order that will destroy their relationship with their child.
And the question remains: what 'abuse' is the bill designed to tackle that is not already an offence in law?
archive.ph/BDRJN
There’s no ‘if’ about it.
It should be removed for the sake of child safeguarding and because it is utter nonsense - and every person of sound principles involved in politics should have said so for the last decade, at least.
Part of the new @HMRCgovuk guidance: "Supporting trans and non-binary colleagues." It's despicable & ridiculous that our Civil Service is taking such arrant nonsense seriously. If we can't back out of this, the Protected Characteristic of Gender Reassignment must be removed from the Equality Act.
