Dear Mrs Jenkyns,
Last week your daughter, Andrea (49), was set the task of writing a 'resignation letter'. We thought this might be a bit of fun for her and her class.
Unfortunately, Andrea has not excelled. We will be asking her to stay after school and do it again.

Talking of hypocrites... I understand Hilary Cass is a medical doctor and paediatrician.
That means over a lifetime, she's issued thousands of prescriptions for drugs that... do not meet the criteria she is demanding for trans healthcare.
Can her prescribing list be FOI'd?

So here is another interesting thing.
The SI Order was "made" at 1.16pm.
It was laid before parliament at 4pm.
Yet the timestamp on the Daily Mail write-up of it is 3.20pm.
Does this indicate that the government told the press before they told parliament?
Imagine if the headline was “Every girl who has had an abortion on NHS in past decade will have medical records scrutinised to see how many regret the procedure”…!!?? 😣
This is an absolute VIOLATION of medical data privacy taken without CONSENT!! 😣

The funny/not funny thing is that gender criticality is not just in bed with the far right because they see it as a useful tactical alliance (think russia-germany non-aggression pact, 1939)...but gc's also provide a massive ideological boost for the far right.
A short 🧵...
GCs blaming trans women for the loss of Roe is just mindboggling in so many ways, but one big baseline is that the average trans woman is more likely to be militantly pro-choice and solidarity minded on this issue than cis women. Like it's hard to find a more committed demo
