Girls have the right to things of their own? Says woman who encourages lawfare to take away their voice and right to decide what they do with those things.
The "right to say no", this got taken away by you, after they said 'yes' to inclusion. The only one interfering with girls is her here.

Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides.
Keir Starmer
100%
He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

It was only 12 years ago that the coroner at Lucy Meadows' inquest blamed the media for playing a part in her death, hounding her for daring to be a trans woman who was also a teacher. Making trans lives unliveable - making us unhirable - is recent history.

It's always a disingenuous bait-and-switch. Contrive an argument to oppose a specific trans-related thing, then invent a completely different one for the next trans-related thing, and so on. No common theme or consistency but transphobia.

As a result he has a deep mistrust of any mental health or therapeutic service, and refuses to engage.

Like the Guardian, people view the BBC as left wing and, as a result, their combined anti trans campaigning has done more damage to trans people than the entire right wing media machine, because they legitimised the right wing's lies.

You can see in the quoted video how threadbare Dima’s family’s tent is- she is very concerned about the weather this winter- there are now more tarps and tents available in Gaza but that doesn’t help if she can’t afford them. Even a small amount can help get her to be able to ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Dima. Dima is 22 years old and was studying IT at university before this. She is helping her very large family including her parents who are both in their sixties. Their biggest concern is winterizing their tent which as you can see needs it.
