Re: In todays news...
I forgot to quote the comment earlier about men being perceived to prey on girls but people don't worry about women.
I have a friend who's daughter is currently preferring to be a boy - although she does still dress more like a girl according to another friend - very much so. My friend took her daughter and daughters friend to a show in London (can't remember, something like Cirque du Soleil, so in a club). When they all got back to another friends place (where they were staying), the daughter recounted that she was offered a drink by a guy at the bar and when she said she was 15, the guy couldn't leave fast enough. But when she went to the toilet, there was a woman in there that chatted her up and then snogged her.
The mum of the girl was spitting nails about the guy being a predator to the 15 year old, despite him leaving like the Flash on speed when finding out the age; but not remotely worried that an adult woman (apparently not likely to be trans, neckline low enough to be commented on I'm told) had chatted up and snogged her underage daughter.
Friend 2 was absolutely horrified about this, but what do you say? (Mother of the 15 year old is slightly anti men, but still . . . . )

My daughter turned 18 this year and a few weeks ago her old (female) guitar teacher tried it on with her in the pub, nothing illegal but it seemed so inappropriate.Noggin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2023 7:19 pm I forgot to quote the comment earlier about men being perceived to prey on girls but people don't worry about women.

Maybe she thought as she's her teacher, that she could pull a few strings?Mussels wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2023 7:31 pmMy daughter turned 18 this year and a few weeks ago her old (female) guitar teacher tried it on with her in the pub, nothing illegal but it seemed so inappropriate.Noggin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2023 7:19 pm I forgot to quote the comment earlier about men being perceived to prey on girls but people don't worry about women.

Re: In todays news...
Look on the bright side. No kids under 7 will be assessed or considered for access to the service. (The Tavistock GIDS unit was taking 3 year olds!). It's actually (sort of) progress. The Times and Telegraph imply treatment = medical intervention like drugs and surgery and it may just be consultation.Hot_Air wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2023 8:15 am Aged seven seems very young for trans treatment:
