India we knew you were a star but this proves it. Your delivery and content was perfect. Sadly I didn’t get to hear what James OB’s response was as I’m not normally his greatest fan. Might try and get on play back.

@mrjamesob
that the increase in homophobia in the UK is the responsibility of 'the government, the British media, and the gender-critical movement'.
Every time I see “better to wait” I think what the hell do they think is happening! Waiting times for first consultations is ridiculous and deliberate.
Written no-doubt by the dreadful Sonia Sodha. What’s more ‘watchful waiting’ than the current SEVEN YEAR wait for a first appointment? Conversion ‘therapy’ is torture. It genuinely saddens me Guardian News - once the choice of progressives - has taken this stance.

Helen, I am truly sorry and very unhappy to hear this. The fight for trans gets worse but your efforts remain huge and we love you for it . ❤️❤️❤️
@PompeySteph
Whilst I agree that the Cass report needs detailed analysis what we have seen is supportive of at least initial views it is against the interest of trans youth and trans generally. The length of the document in my view is more to do with padding than good science.

@jk_rowling
If it wasn’t for jk’s well known attitude to trans she comes across as almost believable. Except she’s not believable and guess what there are massive flaws in the telegraph article, as usual. Exaggerated half truths.
BREAKING: The hijacked NHS - infiltrated by Gender Critical’s backed by the Conservatives - are now threatening to REMOVE trans kids from supportive parents. Replicating the US. All part of
#Cass
. This is a high-level attack on trans existence.
It’s very clear now that the credibility of The Cass Report is in tatters. To stubbornly progress now for ideological reasons would amount to medical negligence. Potentially killing kids. I second this call.
I was receiving hundreds of very abusive transphobic tweets and DMs daily for months (still do). I reported the abuse and threats of violence to the police several times. When my Candidacy was announced I was deluged with even more disgusting tweets. 1/2
My account has gone crazy these past few days getting me too and now past 5k followers.
I started this account as a fresh start, never expecting to regain the followers I had before.
Massive ty for all the support, I love you all ❤️🥰😘
Labour do not ignore these submissions attributing them to so called trans activists. It is entirely valid and in line with World standards. The UK is in reverse because of this planned anti trans rhetoric!
This is so ridiculous
@UKLabour
. How on EARTH is the Cass Report “expert” recommendations when:
⭐️Cass has NEVER worked with trans people
⭐️Her advisory board was CRAMMED with conversion therapists
⭐️Report condemned internationally
⭐️Badenoch admits it was a fix
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷
I noticed that. Weird. Even dm comments from their readers all saying nice things about lovely girl. Makes you wonder about them selecting comments to suit their narrative of the moment. Next line of stories all back to normal. Totally dishonest.
You are now going to see a brief spell of gross hypocrisy in British Media, where the very same columnists and pundits who would have demanded Brianna go to school as a boy, or be prevented from being who she was, take the moral high ground. Won’t last long. Absolutely nauseating
1. Huge news out of the UK. The British Medical Association, which represents 190,000 doctors in the UK, has voted against implementation of the Cass Review, calling the review "unsubstantiated."
This will have global impacts.

@sharrond62
This is absolutely correct. Those affected get it. Those unaffected haven’t got a clue. Tomboys and trans not the same thing. Go away and think about it. No question of misleading children. Helping very carefully yes
I join this call.
@NHSEngland
, in my view the Cass Review is thoroughly & irredeemably compromised, biased & totally unreliable as well as constituting pseudoscience.
It is a matter of urgency that you withdraw it and institute a full and transparent inquiry into its conduct.
My stomach just dropped. I am so angry and desperately sad right now. How dare
@wesstreeting
put so many trans kids at risk by continuing this murderous ban. I was hopeful that a new government meant a new start and less transphobia by those in charge. Blood. On. His. Hands 💔

This is unacceptable from a party who said they support LGBT community. Obviously saying and doing does not hold up to scrutiny. Oh well, back to Labour then.

Blockers don’t sterilise they delay. If the individual then wants to avoid puberty there are many benefits if they are trans. Only used in limited cases anyway. If trans only benefit of going through P is that a bigger penis when turned inside out gives bigger V.
@DadTrans
So they will do it against trans . What next? Except their corruption is about to end . Rule of the Sunak’s, yes both of them, is done. Thank goodness.
What did we do to deserve this? It makes not a jot of sense. Just constant damage to a non threatening tiny minority who have no choice who they are persecuted for political gain.
Really sad to see Macron start trashing trans people for votes. This is what the Far Right have done. They have dragged everything so much to the Right, and nobody (with the exception of the Greens) are willing to pull things back.
I have just read the harrowing account on the news covering the opening statements at Brianna's trial. Horrific for her parents to have to hear what their precious child went through and what was planned. I am broken for them 😭.
This is very real. A few years ago people were becoming far more relaxed about transgender. They are increasingly seen to be believing that we are a bunch of paedo’s after their kids. More than unfair and frustrating.
Transphobia is on the rise – and the press is to blame
An average of 154 articles about the trans community has been published every single month since 2015. That’s over 13,000 articles focused on less than 1% of Britain’s population

@HolyroodDaily
She doesn't have a clue, I've spent my whole adult life on antidepressants, they didn't help, the only thing that did was transition. Cass is just a quack at this point.
Seeing as it's in the public domain now because I was illegally doxed by transphobes. Please email Scottish Greens and tell them that I must not be deselected. Trans people deserve representation and will not be bullied out of the public eye by transphobes.
@PompeySteph
Actually on further reflection I am bound to say that sufficient of the report has been demonstrated to be fundamentally flawed that it can only be seen as discredited and not worthy of further analysis.

@ThePosieParker
Well done Sophie. We are grateful for your hard work . Your efforts have benefited all, not just the trans community . I hope you find a new role befitting your outstanding commitment to others.

@ReactiveAshley
She speaks for the government whether intended or not. Really shows how stupid she is. Thank goodness she will soon be out of government or better still looses her seat altogether.
Seems inherently simple and obvious to me and to a great many cis girls too. We support each other. This is not a competition. All women need protection.
The definition of “woman” is;
Any woman, trans or cis, who identifies as a woman.
Much more straightforward than the twisted and repeatedly problematic “gender-critical” definition, which is not a definition, merely an attempt to exclude some women.
@KemiBadenoch
So you said we’re not having any of that Scottish nonsense here so let’s set up a review organised by known transphobes to produce a report to order. It is not only dishonest it is a dangerous application of one sided thinking that is already causing serious harm. Begone!
Do you know how to change your gender marker at your GP?
We've created this guide to give you a hand, and remember, it's crucial you still get the services you need that matches your body!
How was your experience changing your marker, or is it something you're yet to do?
@Bushra1Shaikh
To not allow someone who is gay to chose the life suited to them is bad for everyone. You can’t learn to be gay. You can’t catch it! Same with trans. I am appalled that we still have people living in the dark ages. Knowledge is strength!

@alancampbellmp
as chief whip of the Labour Party I implore you to discipline Rosie Duffield for these transphobic images on her profile. Ask her to remove them. This is unacceptable conduct for an MP and should not be tolerated.
So is the governments action here criminal admitting they deliberately set about creating a false report in order to support intended deliberate actions based upon it?
BLOCKBUSTER: After Kemi Badenoch’s admission that the Cass Report was rigged by making crucial Gender Critical (anti trans) appointments within the NHS and at the farcical EHRC, a damning analysis by UK doctors.

We won’t let this drop - you are killing
I want to talk about the idea that being trans is homophobic. I find this assertion to be absurd anti-trans propaganda. The assertion is made based on the claim that trans people are “forcing” gays & lesbians to date them.
If you don’t want to date a trans person, I don’t find
The so-called ‘whistleblowing’ at the Tavistock Gender Clinic is a complete culture wars con, partly fabricated by terfs working at

back - based purely on JKRs personal prejudices?
How is this even news? It’s just the Telegraph pushing transphobic propaganda! 😣
@green_susie100
Surely her approach must be seen as so extreme that her ideas are patently flawed. The problem is that those in society who like what she says continue to Chen it out as being valid. Still frightening!
Quite bizarre to see a gay man, pretty much destroying the Labour Party’s relationship with the LGBTQ+ community, single-handed.
It’s quite an achievement after less than a fortnight in government

Make no mistake I will be standing in the next Scottish Parliament Election as a candidate for The Rainbow Party. No matter what it takes. Trans people will not be silenced! ✊️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Morning, my loves. Your brain is a powerful tool. Use it wisely and treat it kindly. It is in your power to make changes for the better. Don't allow negative thoughts to become your reality. Have a beautiful Friday. Big hugs and loves darlings ❤️ 💋
I despair at this but it is startling reality. If we push back we get labelled troublesome trans people and a threat to normal life . Totally untrue and undeserving but at the moment we are losing!!
We are not Great Britain - we are TERF ISLAND
"As the UK Conservative Party looks to elect a leader to replace the beleaguered Boris Johnson, the culture war issue of transphobia has come to the front and centre of the race.

This is awful. Don’t wish to get you involved in unpleasant crusade but as you got on well with the Dr it does seem worth it. Still think call to 101 might help. They can cause gp’s issues without heavyweight cqc?

No there not. Most sensible people realise it’s just more hype from JKR driven by her so called concerns for women when in fact it’s her transphobia. Trans women are no threat to women, period.
