All of @hannahsbee’s piece on birth trauma (in the NS, and now today’s Times) is brilliant. But this little thing stood out to me, because it’s an experience I’ve had in the NHS too — being given bad or contradictory instructions and then being scolded for following them:
Girls photograped in 'mixed gender' changing rooms "Voyeurs videoed 5,000 teenagers in swimming pool changing rooms Adam Dennis and Robert Morgan used hidden cameras at pools in London and Surrey for four years and shared the images online" The Times archive.today/6lfkX
We don’t address racism by pretending white people can be black, nor is ableism solved by giving able-bodied people wheelchairs, so why are women and girls supposed to applaud their male imitators, centre them in language and hand over rights their foremothers fought for? 3/X

🧵 Looks like the BBC may have found a way to weed out freelance journalists who don’t comply with gender identity ideology. You can’t be paid for your time until you fill out a diversity survey. And the first two questions are about your ‘gender identity’. And you can’t //
Curious that decision to stop prescribing puberty blockers blockers was a ‘clinical decision’ but at same time we should legislate to prevent therapists exploring with young people - predominantly girls - their gender distress. How does that work?

Holyrood admits changing the official record of Humza Yousaf's 'white' speech, yet the editor of the Official Report of the Scottish Parliament claims it was done for ‘clarity’. What tosh! If altering what was said, you make it clear you’ve done so. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/comment/holyro…
Honestly can't get over how appalling this interview is. They'd never bring on a parent who was in favour of FGM but they bring on this guy who wants to stop his daughter going through puberty.

If it’s not the wives/girlfriends, it’s always the mothers.
🚨Please may I call on your help, friends?🚨 The Cass Report has vindicated my lovely friend @Glinner on his previously controversial stance that pub3rty blockers aren’t good for kids. Because of these views, his Father Ted musical was effectively cancelled. Now that we know…
Trans Logic 1. Kids need puberty blockers so they "pass" when they grow up. 2. Middle-aged men who didn't get puberty blockers always "pass".
Scottish primary schools are appointing children as 'LGBT champions' and are asking pupils as young as four what their sexuality and gender identity is, as part of a scheme run by charity LGBT Youth Scotland, which is currently under investigation for child grooming
Scottish primary schools are appointing children as “LGBT champions” and are being urged to ask pupils as young as four if they are gay, lesbian or trans archive.ph/2pucz
🧵Politicians from all parties calling for a separate Scottish review after the #CassReport are guilty of the most fatuous Scottish exceptionalism. Just how do they suppose it would improve upon this detailed years long process led by a senior clinician? 1/3

I wonder how far the march of self-ID through institutions has been facilitated simply by staff being visibly upset. I know of one case where a manager ended up comforting a tearful staff member *because **the manager** was about to meet someone the staff member disagreed with.*

@helenlewis @hannahsbee The saddest part is that so many who’ve read the article can see their own birth story in it. Someone commented from 40+ years, me 19 years (almost to the day!) and many other more recent. A huge thanks to @hannahsbee for again shining a light on medical issue so many have faced
@helenlewis @hannahsbee Oh yes, I remember being told to ask the nurses on the post natal ward how to change a nappy by the midwives. I do as I'm told. The nurse on the ward bollocked me. "Surely you have nephews and nieces she chided." I was just doing as I was told. I still remember 21 years later
@DeborahLoudon @hannahsbee This is exactly what I’m talking about — going to hospital is like turning up on the first day of a new job and not knowing where anything is. Except you’re also sick and anxious. And then you get treated like you’re stupid for not knowing stuff.
@helenlewis @hannahsbee Similar experience. Husband told at clinic to go and have blood test elsewhere in hospital. Long walk to blood test room - no one there. Returned to clinic:’Why did you go there? They close at 3:30’. As though he should have known that.
The fear and disempowerment that being on edge from being scolded induces drives bad outcomes, I’m sure. Anyway, here is Hannah’s full piece. It’s well worth reading: “My nightmare giving birth — and Britain’s maternity scandal” thetimes.co.uk/article/f6ff7f…
The NHS is (among other things) a huge, complicated machine. If you are a patient rather than staff — ie you only interact with the machine sporadically, usually when you’re already worried and ill — you need clear instructions and empathy.
In my case, it was going to reception at a clinic as I’d been told in a letter, following signs to a big desk that said RECEPTION. Apparently I should have miraculously intuited that the reception was no longer staffed and I should wait in an unlabelled corridor.
All of @hannahsbee’s piece on birth trauma (in the NS, and now today’s Times) is brilliant. But this little thing stood out to me, because it’s an experience I’ve had in the NHS too — being given bad or contradictory instructions and then being scolded for following them:
@joannaccherry @BBCScotland She had no sympathy for the women who wept as she tried to vote away our rights. The rape victims in the gallery who sobbed as she and party decided they were prioritising their abusers.
I hate to see any woman brought to tears but I hope the Green MSP currently weeping on @BBCScotland #drivetime about the end of the #BHA will reflect on how upsetting the misogyny espoused by some of her colleagues has been for many Scottish women

@WingsScotland x.com/genderreceipts…
A good time to highlight again that #Mermaids has actively sought to indoctrinate Social Workers.
@WingsScotland This is exactly why the Conversion Therapy Bill should never be introduced. Therapists need to be able to talk to children about why they feel the need to change sex (even though such a thing is impossible). An abused child is easily persuaded by adults who should know better.
