The Final Report of the Cass Review was published on 10th April 2024 and the landscape has shifted back to protecting children and gathering evidence. How did we get here? And where are we going now?
Just as it is illegal, I believe, for any person in the U.K. to assist another to travel to Switzerland to utilise the services of Dignitas, it should be equally illegal to assist a child to visit the Webberleys’ overseas clinic.
Brilliant. At least those lunatic doctors are not in the U.K. If only we could delete the word 'gender' from the English language we could 'avoid a lot of trouble', to quote Peter Cook. I really do think a lot of the problems, in the anglophone world, stem from this: the dual use of 'gender' to mean biological sex but also to mean 'what you feel you are' or 'how you express your biological sex' or whatever other explanation people propose. Language is important and should convey meaning, as unambiguously as possible.
Crowdfunder supported and shared to X-Twitter. And all credit to Sajid Javid, father of four, as then Health Secretary for having commissioned the Cass Review, and for other child-protective measures I knew nothing about.
It looks like the game might be finally up for all the myths touted about puberty blockers as being "safe" and "fully reversible" when they are clearly dangerous and irreversible.
But it seems like more legislation is needed to prevent evil outfits like the Webberleys' GenderGP continuing to harm children for profit. And to force the recalcitrant NHS back from its ideological positions on woman-erasing vocabulary, never mind damaging paediatric drugs.
Too late for the Tories to enact this: but is there any hope of Labour doing so?
Thoroughly captured as the party is, apart from brave dissenters like Rosie Duffield, there will have to be a lot of embarrassing backtracking on previous "progressive" stances on gender, for Starmer & co to acknowledge some ugly realities.
Thanks Sarah. I'd like to point out, however, that the cause for the sex-based difference that's emerging in use of 'gender services' is bigger and more complex than some sort of amorphous 'social contagion' -- it's misogyny that promotes and supports sexualisation of girls/women, homophobia, objectification and fragmentation (eg, the mind.body split) that is facilitated by digital technologies and fast communication via the internet and able to be viewed and used in privacy away from parental supervision.

Thank you for an informative post, Sarah.
Unbelievably shocking how so many are being indoctrinated and fast tracked down an irreversible medical path.
You ask: "Where is it coming from?" I believe that it has been orchestrated for decades to weaken/sterilise/weaponise/dehumanise/depopulate many countries across the world (+58 countries - Europe, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. Please note which countries do not have this curriculum), so that if/when the uprising occurs 'they're won't blink at annihilation if called to do so (as anyone who 'identifies' is inhumane in 'their' eyes).
Our children are being gaslight from the age of 4 in schools under the guise of sexuality education by teachers who have been indoctrinated at universities - and repeatedly told lies about a contentious ideology until they believe it with a religious zealous ferocity. Children questioning this ideology are silenced, punished or threatened with expulsion; and told not to be offensive.
I believe that our children and young people are being psychologically abused at schools and universities by this Curriculum which schools accepted in 2014 and made compulsory in 2020; plus influenced by the media. I believe that our sons and daughters are gaslight, coersed, manipulated, sexualised and weaponised by the third sector agencies (follow the money to see who is sponsoring them, besides the tax payer), teachers, headteachers and school boards. I believe that it is more than social contagion and has been planned, coordinated and executed over decades.
What is the agenda? Why dehumanise, sterilise and medicalise our children? This is in 58 countries and counting...
As a trainee teacher, we were encouraged to 'teach across the Curriculum' - critical race theory, radicalisation and identity in Art, English, Maths, Science, ITC, Music, Technology, History, Geography and Drama classes. This practice was confirmed by my son's safeguarding lead in March 2024 that RSE PCHE is taught across the curriculum.
At a recent meeting with the local middle school, I asked the following questions:
- Are you the designated Safeguarding lead?
- Have you read 'Keeping Children Safe in Education'? Have all the members of staff at the school read KCSIE?
- WHO wrote this Curriculum?
- What is the academic theory that underpins this curriculum?
- WHO has informed teachers /headteacher's to teach RSE PCHE?
- Have you read the World Health Organisation Sexuality Education directives?
- Do you know that this curriculum is in 58 countries (and counting)?
In response to "this is above my remit," I also stated: "As the the Safeguarding lead, you know that it is EVERYONE'S responsibility to keep our children safe. I expect you to stand guard and protect our children from harm. Our children's lives are in your hands." "Our children are in such danger." "Do your research!"
Predictably, I was not shown any RSE PCHE material that our children are due to be exposed to this Summer term, despite receiving a letter from the school stating that parents could discuss the lessons, dates and times and view the material. He reassured me that the school would like to be transparent with parents and he was compiling the material over the Easter holidays. (This has been taught at the school for years and I have requested to view the material and lesson plans for 3 years in a row - I haven't been shown anything!)
In the letter from the school, it states:-
Key Learning:
❏ Recognise that there are multiple gender identities and sexual orientations.
❏ Explain how FGM is in contradiction with human rights.
❏ Explain how forced marriage is in contradiction with human rights.
❏ Identify the risks of ‘sexting’ and how to manage requests or pressure to send an image.
❏ Identify basic forms of contraception, e.g. condom and pill.
Prior Learning:
Y7 - Safety and building relationships.
Future Learning:
Y9 - Peer influence, assessing risk and managing influences.
I expressed by concern that an IDEOLOGY was being taught as FACT.
Rather shockingly, the Safeguarding lead reported me to social services for hate speech. Hate speech for expressing my concern for the safety and wellbeing of our children in school and for asking questions?
WHAT IS GOING ON?
In my opinion, it is far more sinister than gender ideology - that is being utilised as a distraction, and to sexualise and dehumanise our children (from infancy), drive the EUNAGENIC AGENDA and radicalisation in preparation for world war (hopefully I am mistaken). Similar tactics were implemented as pre-WWII - radicalised the youth, create a culture of reporting on parents and neighbours (SNP 1/4/24!!!), separate children from parents, indoctrinate into youth camps and then the army. Today's 'army' looks different but the level of intolerance for any 'other' or 'critical thinking' is culpable. The conservative monoculture will not tolerate transgenderism, homosexuality, human rights or women's rights and freedoms and will most likely outlaw progressive practices, flags, ideology (as has already been done in some regions in Europe and some councils in the States and Canada). Dangerous times.
Scotland and other countries are revealing some of the plan: make all children wards of the State; bring in blasphemy laws (non-crime hate crime), affirmative action ('white, white, white racist speech in parliament) , erase human and women's rights, blackouts, cost of living, etc. So are others criminalising and impoverishing common people, 15 minute zones, more taxes on motorists, digital currency, cancel culture, farming, etc..
SOS What can we do? Now? I have remained silent as I believe that I cannot fight the system or protect my children while they are in government institutions! But after the meeting at the school I was shocked to receive confirmation that most of what I've read and viewed is practiced in our schools.
The Secretary of State for Education, GILLIAN KEEGAN is due to release new guidance for relationship and sex education stating (hopefully) that teachers should avoid the subject, and stress that it is a contested belief. But allegedly teachers unions are telling teachers to ignore the DofE guidance.
I find it ironic that the government has introduced this dangerous ideology and made it mandatory in state schools and universities, and now (very late) is offering 'guidance'.

But why not? Every time someone uses the word 'gender' I have to ask what they actually mean. People and organisations (questionnares etc.) routinely use it for biological sex but also for the 'gender expression' or 'gender role' ideas, or 'what you know you are' etc. It would be as if we used the word 'cat' to mean either cat or dog or mouse depending on who says it and what their beliefs are. THAT is the confusion.
Just as it is illegal, I believe, for any person in the U.K. to assist another to travel to Switzerland to utilise the services of Dignitas, it should be equally illegal to assist a child to visit the Webberleys’ overseas clinic.
Brilliant. At least those lunatic doctors are not in the U.K. If only we could delete the word 'gender' from the English language we could 'avoid a lot of trouble', to quote Peter Cook.
