'We are being told what to think'





"A Church of England primary school has taken the unprecedented step of allowing a child to transition from a boy to a girl in the school without informing parents until the day of the transition or putting policies and procedures in place. A rare audio recording has also revealed how the school brought in controversial trans lobby group Mermaids to train staff and governors. The content of the training is deeply disturbing and we will share more soon.

The Christian Legal Centre is supporting the courageous Rev. John Parker who resigned as a governor after his concerns were ignored and silenced.

Andrea Williams, CEO of the Christian Legal Centre, said: 'This is not an isolated case and we are going to see more like it if nothing is done.

'Parents have a right to know if and when this ideological movement is in their schools and being taught as fact.

'I believe a real threat is posed to schools from organisations such as Mermaids. They implement a new ideological tyranny – and any disagreement is at best silenced, and at worst, punished.

‘The number of children confused about their sex and gender and seeking treatment is escalating and it is our children who are suffering. In imposing this ideology, we are not being kind but cruel. It is time for this to stop.

'The Church of England has one million children in its care. This is a serious God-given duty which the Church is failing at.

'It has invited the new state ideology into the classroom and it has lost confidence in its own message of what it means to be human. The Church needs to act before it is too late.' "

1. Petition from change.org to stop Mermaids delivering training sessions to the police, schools and all public services.

"Mermaids is a Transgender Lobby group that specialises in giving information about Transgender children. They have been noted to spread regressive gender stereotypes and misinformation about the 2010 Equality Act; and they reinforce debunked statistics about suicide rates.

"They are a lobbying group not an impartial advisory body and are not being held accountable for the misinformation they spread. They have no place training  employees of the state such as teachers and police officers. Mermaids should no longer be allowed to run training for public servants."

    So the sickness spreads and the Bishop of Chelmsford is complicit.
    1984 is upon us.

    As a child I didn't have time to worry about gender identity, I was too busy being a child and playing. This increase in child gender identity is adult driven; and Parliament should bring forward a Bill to make it a criminal offence to allow these kids to be abused in this way. Much of this is parent driven. The parents couldn't choose the sex of their child before birth, so they will change it afterwards. Does anybody care about the long-term psychological effects of this on the child or on his/her friends? It is worrying.

    This is just the latest fad in social engineering circles.
    Don't think for one moment that it has anything to do with the welfare or best interests of the child.
    If speak out against it be prepared to be accused of 'hate' speech.

    I'm slightly puzzled by the fact that he resigned because the child was allowed to transition "without (the school) informing parents until the day of the transition". It seems to me that the issue here is not the idea of transitioning itself, which the Vicar actually supported. Rather, it's the issue of disseminating the information. And surely the school could say nothing without breaching the parents' right to confidentiality. Obviously I know nothing of this case apart from what's been reported, but it seems to me that, if the parents said, "Say nothing", the school had no choice but to comply.

    Today's bisexual knows more than theologians of the last two millennia.

    Yes Enoch, taken from the BBC's 'Young Welsh & Pretty Religious' victimhood comes across as a strong theme. The handful of youngsters being ministered to by the Methodist University chaplain would find plenty of 'inclusive' churches in and around Cardiff if they spent less time in 'The Upper Room' at The Gathering. I have never witnessed the behaviour they complain of. Quite the reverse.

    Even Medical definitions are being re-written to pander to the tiniest of minorities and the zeitgeist.
    Our society is sick, very sick.

    Transgender no longer recognised as 'disorder' by WHO

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-48448804?ns_mchannel=social&ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1k6PvcXlBKZIknO9nSHkD4i896QWXWrzCBkSYkhp8WujIqMKUBG-LQNW8

    Transgender health issues will no longer be classified as mental and behavioural disorders under big changes to the World Health Organization's global manual of diagnoses.

    The newly-approved version instead places issues of gender incongruence under a chapter on sexual health.

    A World Health Organization expert said it now understands transgender is "not actually a mental health condition".

    Human Rights Watch says the change will have a "liberating effect worldwide".
