Green’s latest venture, Anne Trans Healthcare—branded as “Anne”—claims to deliver “personalised gender-affirming healthcare” for adults and, alarmingly, children. After her departure from Mermaids in 2022, Green joined forces with “trans” activist and HIV campaigner Lizzie Jordan to establish Anne. Their approach is driven not by rigorous science but by ideology, prioritising beliefs over evidence.
The service adheres to guidance from the controversial trans advocacy group, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), whose recommendations have often been criticised as unscientific and biased.
Among Anne’s controversial services is the prescription of puberty blockers for minors—a practice banned both in the NHS and private clinics after the Cass Review exposed severe issues within youth gender services. Even before Dr. Hilary Cass’s findings were released, the serious risks associated with puberty blockers were clear to anyone willing to look beyond ideological blinders. Research has revealed disturbing potential side effects of these drugs, such as reduced IQ, impaired fertility, and weakened bone density. Today, most conscientious clinicians recognise that subjecting vulnerable children to experimental drugs is deeply irresponsible.
In a display of almost remarkable cunning, Anne has managed to sidestep the UK’s ban by establishing a “legal route” through a network of families outside the country to facilitate access to puberty blockers abroad. Green defends this approach by insisting that the so-called “gender-affirming care” provided by her service is an “essential part” of children’s healthcare, framing it as a vital step in their development.
Anne’s services are available to any child who can pay, provided they have the backing of a parent or guardian. For a £200 joining fee and an additional £150 per month, children can enrol in an “under-18s standard membership” scheme—though this price doesn’t cover the actual cost of the medication.
Families must also bear the expense of travelling to an EU country where the drugs can be obtained or administered in person. This pay-to-play model blatantly commercialises vulnerable youth, transforming critical health decisions into costly transactions.
Green and Jordan, emboldened by their unwavering commitment to trans ideology, have shown a disturbing disregard for the conclusions of the Cass Review. In an open letter to Health Secretary Wes Streeting, Green lashes out at the NHS for implementing the report’s recommendations, once again invoking the harmful and misleading claim that denying puberty blockers to children with gender dysphoria increases their risk of suicide.
On her website, Green further criticises the NHS ban, claiming it has forced families to “watch their children suffer as the medication that treated their gender dysphoria wears off.”
With exaggerated melodrama, she asserts that “for them, with puberty-blocking medication now forcefully withdrawn, the torture resumes, and concerns about self-harm and suicidal ideation become a reality.” This rhetoric not only distorts the situation but dangerously manipulates public sentiment through fear.

Doctors are quitting the British Medical Association over Dr. Cass' review.

Dr. Hilary Cass
Doctors are quitting the British Medical Association (BMA) in anger over its rejection of the Cass review, calling the recommendation ‘bonkers.’
According to the Times, hundreds of members, including NHS leaders and former presidents of medical royal colleges, have expressed ‘dismay’ at union leaders for opposing the review’s recommendations on gender identity services for children. They allege the union is being controlled by a ‘vocal minority’.
In April, a report by Dr. Hilary Cass found that children had been ‘let down’ due to a lack of reliable evidence on the safety of transitioning for young people.
While the findings has been grudgingly accepted amongst among our leaders, the ‘trans’ lobby within the BMA are ferociously defending their pitch. Ideology and jobs are at risk. The BMA has been captured by them and will now form a group to ‘publicly critique’ the review, arguing that it used flawed methods and made unsupported recommendations. (It didn’t.)
Like much of our elite, they need to seek the Lord! Sign our petition:
The BMA council, made up of 69 members, voted to reject the Cass review, making it formal policy. Critics called the vote ‘secretive and opaque.’
Over 1,400 doctors, including 900 BMA members, signed an open letter urging the union to accept the review’s findings, accusing its leaders of ignoring evidence-based medicine and ethical practice. The letter was signed by nearly 70 professors and 23 former or current presidents of medical royal colleges.
According to comments reported by The Times, many doctors have cancelled their membership in protest of the union’s stance on the review.
A spokesman for the Cass review said: ‘The systematic reviews undertaken by the University of York, which underpin the review’s findings, are the largest and most comprehensive to date.
‘They looked at 237 papers from 18 countries, providing information on a total of 113,269 children and adolescents.
‘All of the University of York’s systematic review research papers were subject to peer review, a cornerstone of academic rigour and integrity to ensure that the methods, findings, and interpretation of the findings met the highest standards of quality, validity and impartiality.
‘As stated in the final report, while open and constructive debate is needed about the findings of the review and its recommendations, everybody should remember the children and young people trying to live their lives and the families/carers and clinicians doing their best to support them.
‘All should be treated with compassion and respect.’

Stephen Ireland, patron of Educate and Celebrate, founder of Gay Pride in Surrey, charged with chiuld sex offences.
Video script.
What is the connection between the case of a patron of a pro-sodomy charity being charged with child sex abuse, a maths teacher banned from teaching for calling children their God-given sex and a Church of England bishop declaring a Bible-believing school chaplain is a ‘risk to children’?
‘Educate & Celebrate’
Elly Barnes MBE, Founder of Educate & Celebrate.
One Stephen Ireland was a patron of Educate and Celebrate, set up by lesbian Elly Barnes to go in to schools (which hired her to do this), indoctrinate children to question whether they were really boys and girls and, as she put it, smash hetero-normativity, also known as Bible truth, along the way.
Elly Barnes, pronouns ‘they’ and ‘their’, was awarded an MBE in 2016 for services to education, equality and diversity.
Mr Ireland was also the founder of Gay Pride in Surrey.
Meanwhile, the papers report the 40-year-old is facing a total of thirty-seven charges, including the rape of a child under 13, six counts of making indecent photographs of children and two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
He has been charged alongside David Sutton, 26, a former volunteer for Gay Pride. They will appear at Guildford Crown Court on 12th September twenty-twenty-four and I must stress they are innocent until proven guilty.
Joshua Sutcliffe was fired from Cherwell School, Oxford, for refusing to use a pupil’s preferred pronouns, in other words, for not going along with the child’s delusions.
Last year, the Teaching Regulation Agency barred Mr Sutcliffe from teaching, for that invented offence and for observing that same-sex marriage is wrong in the sight of God. They decided that failed to safeguard pupils’ wellbeing. But the Bible tells us firmly that children’s wellbeing is served by teaching them the ways of God.
The people of Israel were to: Deut 6:7 … teach them (God’s laws) diligently unto thy children,
While the psalmist calls out: Psalm 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
That’s from the same Bible our head of state, King Charles, kissed at his coronation in May twenty-twenty-three.
Sending children down the trans pathway is at best highly contentious, with Dr Hilary Cass reporting there is no evidence that affirming children in gender delusions is of any benefit to them at all.
Of course it isn’t. God has made us male and female.
The Lord Jesus said: Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female..7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
Anything else is a lie.
Yet when Joshua Sutcliffe took his case to the High Court, we had Mr Justice Pepperall acting for all the world like a pro-gay and pro-trans activist, ignoring Dr Cass and upholding the Regulation Agency’s absurdities.
Dr Bernard Randall
Lastly, Dr Bernard Randall was chaplain at Trent College in Derbyshire. He told students in a closely-argued sermon that they could question teaching on ‘LGBT’ relationships. He observed that marriage according to the church and the Bible is between a man and a woman.
Dr Bernard Randall
Incredibly, this was in response to the school paying the afore-mentioned Educate and Celebrate to come into the school and corrupt the children.
Dr Randall was sacked and reported to Prevent, the terrorism watchdog. Then astonishingly, the Church of England Bishop of Derby, Libby Lane, their first woman bishop, ruled that Dr Randall, not Educate and Celebrate, was a risk to children. She denied him a license to officiate as a CofE priest.
Archbishop Welby has refused to allow Dr Randall to bring a misconduct case against Bishop Libby.
The Establishment is promoting wickedness, just as their forebears did in Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sodomy paraded on the streets. Gay activists in schools. Children taught evil, even medically castrated and mutilated. High Court judges, bishops of the established church, acting as pro-sodomy and pro-trans activists. Proponents of evil honoured by the late Queen. Dissenting prophetic voices silenced and condemned, denounced as judgemental.

Reverend Dr Bernard Randall. Cred: Christian Concern
The Archbishop of Canterbury was ‘plainly wrong’ in dismissing concerns about the blacklisting of a gender-critical chaplain, a leading lawyer working for the church has ruled.
The Archbishop reportedly tried to block a serious complaint of misconduct being investigated in relation to the ‘egregious’ blacklisting of Reverend Dr Bernard Randall.
Dr Bernard Randall, 52, received a 5-year ban from his ministry for preaching traditional Christian views to students at Trent College, a private school in Derbyshire, where he was the chaplain. link
He told students during a sermon that they could question teaching on ‘LGBT’ relationships.
Dr. Randall was reported to Prevent, the terrorism watchdog, and was ruled by the Church of England to be a risk to children.
The Bible says, John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
In 2019, Dr. Randall gave a sermon he titled ‘Competing Ideologies’, during which he reassured young people that they ‘are not obliged to accept someone else’s ideology’.
In his well articulated Bible standard speech, he told students that they were at liberty to listen to other points of view, whether on religion, Brexit or ‘LGBT ’.
Dr. Randall went on to say it was not wrong to think ‘that human beings are indeed male and female’. He also suggested that, according to the Christian church, marriage is between a man and woman and that a dim view is taken of sex outside of wedlock.
His words triggered complaints from pupils, parents and staff members. Some even claimed they were nearly left in tears.
Despite being cleared of wrongdoing over the 2019 sermon, he remains barred from preaching after a decision by the Bishop of Derby, the Right Reverend Libby Lane, the church’s first female bishop.
The Bible says, Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.
Following an investigation by the church, Dr. Randall was exonerated for the comments he made during his sermon.
But the Derby diocese’s safeguarding team, under the watch of Bishop Lane, still stopped Dr. Randall from taking any position as a vicar.
In 2021, the diocese refused to grant him a licence to officiate without first going through a risk assessment, effectively banning him from preaching.
The diocese safeguarding team claims that the sermon itself was not the reason for this witch-hunt against Dr. Randall.
Rather, it supposedly raised concerns about how he might ‘support someone who came to him if they were struggling with their sexuality’. But Christian Concern, which took up Dr. Randall’s case, maintains that the Right Reverend Lane blacklisted him as a ‘risk to children’ because of his Christian beliefs.
Senior church leaders are taking the back seat and turning away from their parishioners, prioritising identity politics over spiritual and moral guidance.
This attempt to appeal to younger generations through a focus on progressive ideologies is misguided and out of touch with what most people, particularly the youth, truly seek. Instead of ‘woke’ ideologies, there is a growing desire for genuine unity and moderation within the church.
The Church, despite its increasingly diluted stance, has a unique chance to offer a balanced and unifying voice.
Unfortunately, its current leadership, exemplified by Archbishop Welby and Right Reverend Lane, seems more concerned with conforming to popular opinions rather than fulfilling their role as spiritual shepherds.
The Bible says John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Persecuted Christian professionals
In recent times, more Christians have been increasingly persecuted for speaking up against gender indoctrination and sodomy.
In July 2024, a Christian maths teacher, Joshua Sutcliffe was banned from teaching by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) for stating that ‘a boy cannot be a girl’ and ‘homosexuality is a sin.’
Also, In July 2023, a Christian councillor, King Lawal was suspended for tweeting that pride is not a virtue but a sin.
Meanwhile, another Christian teacher identified as Glawdys Leger was was sacked after refusing to promote extreme ‘LGBT’ ideology, and for expressing her biblical beliefs on human sexuality in response to student questions.
In July 2023, a Christian social worker had a £25,000-a-year job offer revoked after his employer discovered his previous legal victory affirming his freedom of speech.
Felix Ngolefaced expulsion from a social worker training course at Sheffield University after sharing a Facebook post that referenced Bible passages on the topic of same-sex marriage.

Pro-Transgender 'Pride Flag' painted on a walkway at NHS Princess Royal Hospital, Orpington, England.
NHS is pro-trans: The Equality Act allowed King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to paint this ‘Progress Pride’ abomination on a walkway at their Princess Royal Hospital, Orpington.
NHS England has announced it will be opening six new gender identity clinics by 2026.
The health service claims the new gender clinics will ‘provide tailored gender services,’ based on recommendations in the Cass Review.’
But rather than address underlying issues that may be causing a child to have feelings of ‘being in the wrong body’, as Dr. Hilary Cass recommended in April, the NHS appears fully set to promote gender ideologies even more among children and young people.
Son of Tavistock
The new clinics will reportedly focus more on providing a ‘holistic’ approach that includes supporting children with mental health conditions, which is in line with Dr. Cass’s recommendations.
But to open new venues with ‘gender’ in their titles will surely expose children to the possibility of embarking down the same old ‘trans’ pathway operated by the discredited Tavistock Clinic.
Dr Cass, former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, detailed in her 388-page report that there was ‘no good evidence’ for the medical push to transition children’s gender. The push had been ‘built on shaky foundations.’
The NHS say: ‘Two new NHS Children and Young People’s Gender Services, led by London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, have already opened in April.
‘The NHS will continue to appoint up to six additional new specialist regional centres by 2026 – with the next new service in Bristol becoming operational by November 2024 and plans to mobilise a service for the East of England over the course of 2024/25.
‘Each of the new services will have a nominated paediatrician or psychiatrist who has overall clinical responsibility for patient safety within the service as it establishes a fundamentally different clinical model built on the strongest possible evidence base.
‘Young people referred into the service will have their wider health and care needs considered and assessed holistically.’
Whether anything will actually change, despite the fine words, is very much open to doubt. We explore why below.
‘These plans also set out that, subject to academic approval, recruitment to a clinical trial into the potential benefits and harms of puberty suppressing hormones for children and young people is likely to commence in early 2025.’
The trial is set to begin later this year, with children being recruited to it in early 2025. But surely one needs the pro-trans mindset seemingly embedded in today’s NHS to see any benefit at all in preventing children from achieving normal adulthood by stopping them going through puberty and growing up normally?
The biblical position
The Lord Jesus said clearly: Matt 9:12b They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
The clinical trial, recruiting children to give them what amounts to a poison, is so unethical and immoral it could only happen in a system whose leaders, as the prophet Hosea said of those in ancient Israel: Hos 4:10b … have left off to take heed to the LORD.
Chillingly, God says through Hosea in the same passage: Hos 4:6b … seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Hosea’s prophecy is coming true in our day, calling us to prayer and witness.
Alongside children and young people’s services, NHS England has also published plans for a review into adult gender services, following, it says, ‘recommendations from Dr Cass’.
The NHS claim this review ‘will look at the effectiveness, appropriateness and stability of each current service, and will be led by Dr David Levy, Medical Director for Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB, who will be an independent chair, supported by a panel of expert clinicians, patients and representatives from Royal Colleges and professional bodies.’
However, Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board has published a ‘Diversity and Inclusion Glossary‘ which defines ‘Cisgender’ as ‘A person whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth.’ It uses the same absurd ‘assigned’ expression elsewhere.
It defines ‘Gender’ as: ‘A social construct informed by the norms, roles and behaviours that we attribute
to being masculine, feminine or third gender.’ Furthermore, the term ‘Gender Reassignment’, it asserts, has been replaced by ‘Gender confirmation/affirmation’. It speaks of mutilatory mastectomy as ‘Top Surgery’.
This document must have been approved by the ICB’s medical director. It asserts that sex is ‘assigned’ rather than ‘discerned’ at birth, describes ‘gender’ as a ‘social construct’, that surgery can ‘affirm’ a delusion and believes there is ‘third gender’? In what way will Dr Levy be ‘independent’ of gender ideology?
‘Expanding NHS gender services’
Professor James Palmer , NHS medical director for specialised commissioning, gives the game away in the NHS press release when he says gender services will be ‘expanding’: ‘The roll out of new specialist centres in every region across England will be central to improving and expanding NHS gender services for children and young people, to ensure that they receive evidence-based, responsive, holistic care – and the Cass Review is the backbone on which our implementation plan is based.
‘It’s clear that our services for adults need focus too. The waiting times for care are too long and experiences of care are too variable. The review needs to address poor experience but also learn from good experiences of care. It’s vital we hear from patients and staff, some of whom have raised concerns to Dr Cass, and this review will be a further opportunity for them to be heard.
‘There remains considerable work to do, but we are already making progress on a number of Dr Cass’ recommendations, and our plans published, set how we will establish services that provide the care that patients and their families need to thrive.’
The nod to Hilary Cass must not blind us to what is happening here. It is ‘business as usual’ for the gender fanatics of the NHS.
Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said: ‘I am pleased to be working with NHS England to fully implement the recommendations from Dr Cass’s review, so that young people get the safe, holistic care and support they need. The unacceptable waiting times for gender services cause enormous distress to children and young people, at a crucial point in their lives.
‘As well as rolling out new services, NHS England is setting up a clinical trial to establish the evidence on puberty blockers, because children’s healthcare should always be led by evidence.
‘I want trans people in our country to feel safe, accepted, and able to live with freedom and dignity.’
His Majesty’s Secretary of State would do better to assert biblical truth that God has made us male and female and that no-one can ever change his, or her, genetic make-up.
Dr Hilary Cass said: ‘I am pleased that NHS England is planning to fully implement the recommendations of my Review and the next important step will be the most challenging – turning it into a reality.
‘The vision of the Review – reflected in the implementation plan – is to increase available services for gender-questioning young people which take a holistic approach to care addressing the needs of each individual, and which put in place a full package of care which can be delivered as close to home as possible.
‘Setting up a new collaborative of regional providers will also bring in leaders from professional societies, education, and research, to ensure these services continue to develop in line with evidence and best practice to support children and young people.’
Royal Colleges Academy is pro-trans
Doctor Jeanette Dickson, Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, said: ‘We welcome these important steps towards implementing the recommendations of the Cass Review because at the heart of this are thousands of children and young people in need of care. The sooner we can make sure they are treated by the most appropriate professional in a way that’s right for them, the better. NHS England has moved with admirable speed, but we must keep the pace up if we are to help these patients in a timely and fair way.’
But inevitably, Dr Dickson’s ‘Academy’ is itself pro-trans. It wants a ban on ‘conversion therapy’, including consensual discussions around ‘gender’. It says: “Any legislation should ban ‘conversion therapy’ for all groups, including transgender people and adults, even where ‘consent’ may be provided.”
Poor Dr Cass. She thought it would all change, but she had not reckoned with the trans juggernaut. This will need much prayer.

Now what do you think would happen if you replaced the positions of head boy and head girl at a Scottish school with two ‘gender-neutral’‘captains’ and allowed the pupils to vote for the two they preferred out of the three boys and four girls who put themselves forward for the roles?
You need to know that studies and plain common sense show that in this type of election, girls are willing to vote for boys but boys will typically only vote for other boys.
So, as the Scottish Daily Express reports, the outcome was that two of the three boys were elected and none of the girls. So a measure which was supposed to be ‘inclusive’ ended up excluding girls.
And where did this ‘gender-neutral’‘captains’ idea come from? Well, Williamwood High School in East Renfrewshire is intending to spend something not far short of a thousand pounds applying for the LGBT Youth Scotland Charter. And they advocate gender-neutrality in case some fictitious trans-boy or trans-girl or ‘non-binary pupil’ is offended by the God-given separation of the human race into male and female.
As it is written: Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And out of that, Jewish society separates men and women. That will explain why Mary and Joseph mislaid the young Jesus after his Bar Mitzvah at the age of twelve or so in Jerusalem. He had passed from the authority of his mother to that of his father, but Joseph had apparently not remembered that, while Jesus himself was already thinking spiritually when he told them what every Jewish boy knows:
Luke 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist (knew) ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
So now we see how that understanding that adolescent girls should stay together in female company and boys, as they pass through puberty, assuming LGBT Youth Scotland and their tame politicians do not fill them full of puberty-blocking hormones, with other adolescent boys.
Marion Calder at the For Women Scotland campaign group, said.
“This is yet another misplaced policy in the guise of equality which in reality leads to the erasure of females and denies girls opportunities.
“It is no wonder that parents are up in arms. This school and any others that have adopted this regressive change should immediately scrap it and return to a system that has served them well for decades.”
Not just decades. The word, Marion, is ‘millennia’. Differentiation of the sexes is God-given, rooted in creation. Any policy spitting in the face of God is doomed to fail, but if those who lead us, and don’t forget, the Scottish government is behind LGBT Youth Scotland, persist in these absurdities, they cannot fail to damage young lives along the way.
They know this word: Prov 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Pray the governors of Williamwood High School repent of their stupidity and their association with advocates of godless ideology. And Lord, what can we do to advance your Kingdom in this matter?

A group of nurses from County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust (CDDFT) have lodged an employment tribunal case for sexual discrimination and sexual harassment.
Darlington Memorial Hospital Nurses. Cred: Christian Concern
A group of nurses from County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust (CDDFT) have lodged an employment tribunal case for sexual discrimination and sexual harassment.
Five of the nurses, from Darlington Memorial Hospital’s Day Surgery department, have spoken out publicly for the first time since the action was launched against the trust.
Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Annice Grundy, Tracey Hooper and Joanne Bradbury have decided to speak publicly as they believe the Trust is hoping controversy will “blow over”. A spokesperson for CDDFT has said that “work continues” on their internal investigation into the issue.
The group has put in claims on harassment, indirect discrimination, and breach of nurses’ ECHR article eight rights (the right to privacy).
The case is believed to be unprecedented, meaning it could be a landmark ruling in employment law.
Following the anonymous release of this story last month, the nurses say that changing room policy has not changed.
The group added that they have felt ‘threatened and intimidated’ by interactions with HR at the hospital, and say that they now fear for their jobs.
The nurses say that currently, CDDFT policies permit any member of staff to identify as the opposite gender and to access single-sex changing rooms, toilets or showers on that basis.
In March 2024, a letter was signed by 26 nurses and sent to the Director of Workforce at the NHS Foundation Trust.
In the letter, the nurses said they did not believe it “appropriate” to have a “biological male sharing our changing facilities”.
Recognising that the Trust has a duty to support transgender staff they added, however, that that is ‘not absolute’.
Spokesperson for the group, Bethany Hutchison said: ‘We want women to be aware that there are transgender policies, particularly in the NHS, that are putting us at risk.
‘This cannot be right, and we want a change in policy, not only at our hospital but across the NHS and wider society.
“The meetings we have had at the hospital have been threatening and intimidating. To say we need educating when staff have multiple degrees was deeply insulting and demonstrates a failure of care towards female staff.
“We will pursue this matter for as long as it takes to ensure women’s spaces are protected.’
Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he is ‘horrified’ that NHS nurses had to resort to legal action after being forced to share a changing room with a man identifying as a woman.
‘I support the nurses and I’m horrified that they’ve had to resort to legal action. We’ve got to find a better way through this and I’d be happy to meet them. We’ve got to find a way through that treats trans people with respect and respects women’s safe spaces’, he added.
Responding to Mr Streeting, Conservative MP, Miriam Cates, said: ‘We don’t need a ‘better way through’. We just need to uphold the rules and boundaries – based on the realities of biology and human nature – that all societies throughout all history have upheld. Men are not allowed in women’s intimate spaces. That is where it begins and ends.
Meanwhile, J.K Rowling wrote on x: ‘The nurses who are suing County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust for letting a trans identified man watch them change. The women and girls being robbed of sporting opportunities. It’s endless.’
The Bible says,
Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

The Government have announced their intention to stop schools giving sex education to children under nine.
Teachers will also have to tell pupils gender ideology is a contested belief.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the new guidance would ensure children were not ‘exposed to disturbing content’.
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan told BBC Breakfast: ‘Biological sex is the basis of relationship, sex and health education – not these contested views’.
A ship adrift
However, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has just said men who ‘transition to women’ are considered women.
Previously, Ms. Keegan stated that she would no longer say that ‘trans women are women’, adding that her stance had since evolved. However, in an interview with Radio 4’s Today program, she again said that it hinges on whether the individual identifies as the opposite sex or has obtained a gender reassignment certificate.
Ms Keegan said: ‘In the first instance, that person was not a woman, but in the second the person was, if only in a legal sense’.
Asked if she would say that people who had gone through gender reassignment were women, she said: ‘Well, this is what we should say. I personally believe if you have gone to that level of, you have got the gender recognition, you have got the reassignment, then you are legally and medically allowed to say that you are a woman’.
Gillian is like a ship adrift, with no anchor.
The Bible says, Hebrews 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast
Meanwhile, more Scottish parents are choosing homeschooling due to concerns about classroom violence, declining education quality, and what they see as excessive promotion of ‘LGBT’ issues in schools.
The Department for Education’s latest guidance acknowledges the risk posed by gender ideologies to children.
Teachers are advised against presenting disputed views as facts, including the idea of gender as a spectrum.
It also recognises that teaching children to question their gender could lead to unnecessary confusion.
The Cass Review highlighted the serious risks associated with ‘transitioning’ for children’s health and well-being.

Unable to define a woman?
John Swinney, Scotland’s new First Minister
John Swinney, Scotland’s new First Minister, has faced criticism for his handling of questions about whether he considers ‘trans women’ to be women.
Initially, he defined a woman as ‘an adult female born as a woman’, leading feminists to argue they are born as girls.
Mr. Swinney later stated, ‘I also accept that transgender women are defined as women’, without specifying the source of this definition. Despite his assurance that his government won’t endanger the safety of women and girls, feminist leaders found his response misleading and confusing.
Some critics accused him of playing word games reminiscent of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to avoid giving a clear answer.
This controversy arose after Swinney previously dodged the same question, drawing criticism from JK Rowling for his evasive tactics.
It is not unreasonable to ask why there’s suddenly so much concern.The Conservative Party has been in power for fourteen years.
Rishi Sunak now voices worries about what children, the same age as his daughters, might be learning in schools. Has this realisation just dawned on him?
Why target children under nine, leaving primary schools to confront older students with overly explicit material?
The Bible says, Prov 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Furthermore, why focus solely on sex education when propaganda and indoctrination creep in through relationship education? Why permit teachers to promote gender ideology at all? Why not simply declare it false and prohibit it? Why offer ‘guidance’ that schools can disregard, instead of enacting laws to enforce it?
Meanwhile, it wasn’t until the Cass Report that Gillian Keegan had a realisation and recognised the biological reality of male and female.
Additionally, why have they not yet repealed the Gender Recognition Act of 2004 and the Equality Act of 2010?
Lawmakers serve as gate keepers of this country. Therefore it is imperative they reflect on their arrogance and ignorance, humbly seeking the wisdom of the Lord.
Moreso, it is time to enact laws that align with God’s principles, instead of endangering children and the British people in pursuit of woke ideologies.
The Bible says, Prov 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Psalm 11:3-If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Campaign group calls courts’ inaction absurd as single-sex provision remains unenforced
Single-sex toilets will now be required in non-residential buildings in England, according to a new government directive.
New restaurants, offices, and hospitals will now be mandated to provide separate male and female toilets. The government claim these new requirements ‘aim to ensure that individuals of all genders have access to appropriate facilities’. But what exactly does the term ‘all genders’ mean?
This law mandates that newly constructed non-residential buildings must offer separate facilities, rather than solely providing ‘universal’ lavatories.
Access to appropriate facilities
The guideline states: ‘The new legislation follows the results of a consultation on the proposals, where responses showed 81% agreed with the intention for separate single-sex toilet facilities and 82% agreed with the intention to provide universal toilets where space allows.
‘A universal toilet is self-contained, and a fully enclosed toilet room with a wash hand basin for individual use’.
The government emphasises that these new requirements aim to ensure that individuals of all genders have access to appropriate facilities, whether through separate single-sex spaces or ‘universal’ toilets. While this is a commendable step by the government, we maintain that it also enables ‘trans’ ideologies. Gender identity is a lie sold to the public.
The Bible says,
Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Minister for Women and Equalities, Kemi Badenoch, stated that the move will help combat the rise of “gender-neutral” toilet spaces, which she said “deny privacy and dignity to both men and women”.
Last week, MS. Badenoch said girls at a school who did not have access to single-sex toilets developed urinary tract infections (UTIs) because they did not want to use gender-neutral toilets.
She asked people to report public bodies that fail to provide single-sex spaces or have policies not in accordance with the Equality Act. She did not name the school or further substantiate the claim.
The Equalities minister also said the move shows the government’s commitment to “ensuring single-sex spaces are protected for all” after plans to overhaul the NHS constitution by limiting the use of gender-neutral wards.
These changes will mean patients in England will have the right to be treated on single-sex wards and ‘transgender people’ will be treated in single rooms.
In a statement about the legislation, Kemi Badenoch said: ‘Today’s announcement will also create better provision for women so that our particular biological, health and sanitary needs are met.
‘This is following our work last week limiting the use of mixed-sex wards in the NHS and demonstrates how this government is committed to ensuring single-sex spaces are protected for all.’
In England, government guidelines concerning young people in schools mandate the maintenance of separate toilets and changing facilities for girls and boys aged eight and above. These guidelines also permit staff and students to disregard pronouns preferred by socially transitioning children and allow for the segregation of sport and physical education activities by sex in cases of safety concerns.
While colleges are not bound by the same legal requirements, ministers stress that equivalent considerations regarding safeguarding should be upheld.
RT. Hon Lee Rowley MP, Minister for Housing, Planning and Building Safety
Minister for Housing, Lee Rowley, said the government is clear that single-sex spaces are essential for ensuring privacy and dignity for women and girls.
‘We know all members of society value safety, privacy and dignity, and this new legislation will help ensure the right facilities are in place for everyone.
‘It is vital that new buildings, particularly in public spaces, are serving the community with right toilet provision’,he added.
Meanwhile, Changes to building regulations will ensure that separate single-sex toilets facilities are provided for men and women. Also, self-contained, universal toilets may be provided in addition to single-sex toilets, where space allows.
Additionally, self-contained universal toilets may be provided instead of single-sex toilets only where lack of space reasonably precludes provision of single-sex toilet accommodation.
Same-sex toilet policy criticised
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), which represents HR professionals, has criticised the government’s same-sex toilet policy.
The pro-trans institution said: ‘It is discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010 to prevent a trans person from using the bathroom they wish to.
‘Therefore, it cannot be routine practice to exclude trans people from same sex facilities and each case should be assessed on its own merits’.
Maya Forstater, chief executive of gender critical group Sex Matters
Meanwhile, Maya Forstater, chief executive of gender critical group Sex Matters, said she plans to report CIPD to the Government over its approach.
She has specifically referred to the HR body’s official advice, which states that ‘refusing to allow a transgender or non-binary person to use the facilities they feel most comfortable in may be discrimination’.
Ms Forstater said: ‘We think the CIPD’s guidance on trans and non-binary should be scrapped and started again, it’s written in a way that sounds like it’s taking everyone into account but it’s not usable’.
Her comments come after Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch last week urged the public to give examples of state bodies failing to provide single-sex spaces, such as toilets, changing rooms and female-only gym classes.

Pro-Transgender 'Pride Flag' painted on a walkway at NHS Princess Royal Hospital, Orpington, England.
Pro-Transgender ‘Pride Flag’ painted on a walkway at NHS Princess Royal Hospital, Orpington, England.
The NHS is to declare that sex is a matter of biology in a landmark shift against gender ideology, a government document has shown.
According to the government’s proposal, ‘transgender women’ (biological men) should not be put on single-sex female NHS wards.
The NHS constitution, a document that aims to set out the principles and values of the health service and legal rights for patients and staff, was last updated in 2015. It has to be updated at least every 10 years by the Secretary of State.
Health Secretary Victoria Atkins said it was about making it clear that ‘sex matters’.
‘We want to make it abundantly clear that if a patient wants same-sex care, they should have access to it wherever reasonably possible,’ she said.
‘By putting this in the NHS Constitution, we’re highlighting the importance of balancing the rights and needs of all patients, to make a healthcare system that is faster, simpler and fairer to all.’
The Bible says, Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.
For the first time, the proposal stress’ the importance of biological sex when it comes to same-sex accommodation and intimate care.
In both cases, the rights are available only where possible.
For instance, while same-sex accommodation rights have long been established, they can be breached in cases of urgent clinical necessity for admitting and treating patients. However, these rights do not extend to critical care or accident and emergency areas.
The proposed guidance also mean that ‘trans men’ should not be housed in single-sex male wards.
Meanwhile, in 2021, NHS guidance said trans patients could be placed in single-sex wards based on the gender with which they identified.
The Bible says, Ezekiel 16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
The proposal states: ‘We are defining sex as biological sex’.
Under the new proposal, ‘transgender people’ whose gender identity differs from their biological sex, may be provided single rooms, where appropriate.
patients will have the right to request a person of the same biological sex delivers any intimate care.
‘Recognising the concerns that patients may have about sharing hospital accommodation with patients of the opposite sex, we propose to amend the pledge to reflect the legal position on the provision of same-sex services and on which transgender patients can be offered separate accommodation as a proportionate means to a legitimate aim’, the proposal added.
The Bible says,
Mark 10: 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
The Equality Act 2010 expressly allows for the provision of single-sex or separate-sex services if certain conditions are met. It also allows for ‘transgender persons’ with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment to be provided a different service
Therefore the new proposal aim to include additional wording to the pledge on sleeping accommodation to state:
‘If you are admitted to hospital, you will not have to share sleeping accommodation with patients of the opposite biological sex, except where appropriate.
‘For example, a single room in a hospital – if it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim’.
Cass Review sparks health charter change
The changes to the constitution are a further indication of a change in attitudes after the Cass review into the NHS’s gender identity services found evidence that allowing children to change gender was built on weak foundations.
Dr Hilary Cass, a paediatrician, said allowing “social transitioning” for young people – when they are treated as the opposite gender – could “change their trajectory” and lead to them pursuing a potentially damaging medical pathway in later life.
The updates to the constitution will also include the introduction of a duty to help patients get back to work and embed “Martha’s Rule” into the framework of the health service.
Martha’s Rule
Martha’s rule enables patients and their families to seek an urgent independent clinical review of their/ a loved one’s condition if they feel their concerns are not being listened to by the treating team.
The Rule is empowering for patients and their families and provides an opportunity for them to be heard.
The rule came after Martha Mills died in 2021 after developing sepsis in hospital, where she had been admitted with a pancreatic injury after falling off her bike.
Martha’s family’s concerns about her deteriorating condition were not responded to, and in 2023 a coroner ruled that Martha would probably have survived had she been moved to intensive care earlier.
In response to this and other cases related to the management of deterioration, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and NHS England committed to implement ‘Martha’s Rule.

PRAY: for the repeal of woke laws.
Pray, and thank God for the NHS.
Pray for the wisdom of God upon policy makers in government and in the health sector.
Pray for our leaders to repent and seek the Lord.
Pray for what is hidden to be revealed, and go in to your child’s school and demand to see their policies on sex education and transgenderism.

Dr. Hillary Cass, British honorary physician in paediatrics.
Dr. Hillary Cass
Dr. Hilary Cass has published her final gender review report after a four-year wait, following her interim report in 2022.
The Cass review found that critical thinking and open debate are fundamental elements in scientific and medical research. However, the Guardian reports she found professionals in the industry ‘are increasingly scared to openly discuss their views on the treatment of children questioning their gender identity’.
An overview of the key findings said, ‘There is no simple explanation for the increase in the numbers of predominantly young people and young adults who have a “trans” or gender diverse identity, but there is broad agreement that it is a result of a complex interplay between biological, psychological and social factors.’
In her review, Dr. Cass stated: ‘There are conflicting views about the clinical approach, with expectations of care at times being far from usual clinical practice.’
This, according to the report, has made some clinicians fearful of working with gender-questioning young people, despite their presentation being similar to many children and young people presenting to other NHS services.
‘An appraisal of international guidelines for care and treatment of children and young people with gender incongruence found that that no single guideline could be applied in its entirety to the NHS in England’, it added.
The gender review further states that while a considerable amount of research has been published in this field, systematic evidence reviews demonstrated the poor quality of the published studies, meaning there is not a reliable evidence base upon which to make clinical decisions, or for children and their families to make informed choices.
‘The strengths and weaknesses of the evidence base on the care of children and young people are often misrepresented and overstated, both in scientific publications and social debate.
‘The controversy surrounding the use of medical treatments has taken focus away from what the individualised care and treatment is intended to achieve for individuals seeking support from NHS gender services.’
Christian Voice has always maintained that there is no justification for the use of puberty blockers, regardless of who it is being administered to.
The Bible says, Luke 5:31-32 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
‘The rationale for early puberty suppression remains unclear, with weak evidence regarding the impact on gender dysphoria, mental or psycho-social health. The effect on cognitive and psycho-sexual development remains unknown,’ according to Dr. Cass’ findings.
‘The use of masculinising / feminising hormones in those under the age of 18 also presents many unknowns, despite their longstanding use in the adult transgender population. The lack of long-term follow-up data on those commencing treatment at an earlier age means we have inadequate information about the range of outcomes for this group.
‘Clinicians are unable to determine with any certainty which children and young people will go on to have an enduring trans identity.’
NHS gender services refused to participate
It has been disclosed that the NHS gender services astonishingly chose not to take part in the research process of the Cass Review.
In an email to John Stewart, the National Director of Specialised Commissioning at NHS England and NHS Improvement, Dr. Hilary wrote: ‘It is therefore hugely disappointing that the NHS gender services have decided not to participate with this research. I am frustrated on behalf of the young people and their families that the opportunity to reduce some of the uncertainties around care options has not been taken.
‘Ultimately, the NHS is an evidence-based service with a responsibility to maintain the safety of those in its care. Understanding more about what support people who attended the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) received, and whether this helped them, will provide vital evidence to assist young people, their families, and the clinicians working with them to make informed decisions about the right pathway for them.’
She requested that NHS England consider how the objectives of this study could be achieved even after the completion of the Review.
Exercise extreme caution
Rishi Sunak, responding to the final review, said: ‘The findings have “shone a spotlight” on the need to “exercise extreme caution”,
The prime minister told LBC : ‘We care above all about the well-being of children and it’s clear that these things are not neutral acts, whether that’s social transitioning, any kind of medical intervention, we simply do not know the long-term effects of these things.
‘And that’s why anyone involved in considering these issues, of course, has to treat people with sensitivity and compassion, but also have to be extremely cautious when it comes to taking any action.’

Schools across the UK are socially transitioning children to the opposite sex behind their parents’ backs.
An investigation into over 600 schools ‘ transgender and equality policies found up to three quarters of those surveyed misrepresented sex and gender protection laws, while some were content to enforce gender-neutral rules like letting children decide which gender’s toilets and changing rooms they wanted to use.
Meanwhile, Dr. Cass’ review into how the NHS should care for children and adolescents with “gender dysphoria” is due to be published this week.
The findings of the review by the leading consultant paediatrician, Hilary Cass, will shape NHS England’s new services for children and young people who are questioning their gender identity or experiencing “gender incongruence.”
Schools in England, Wales, and Scotland are reportedly calling boys ‘she’ and girls ‘he’. The social transitioning leads inevitably down a pathway where rogue doctors give adolescents hormonal drugs known as puberty blockers which prevent the perfectly normal process of growing up.
The next step is when amoral surgeons carry our so-called gender-affirming surgery mutilation, such as the removal of a girl’s perfectly healthy breasts. Yes, as the Bible says, you can have lying doctors of no value.
Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
In the meantime, Dr Hilary Cass in her yet to be published report is expected to say that children face grave psychological harm if they are allowed to ‘socially transition’.
Would you not trust teachers to research that obvious truth if they cared about the children in their charge? And to involve parents, whom Almighty God gave the responsibility to bring up those children?
Yet one mother only discovered her daughter was being allowed to ‘change gender’ when teachers called the 13-year-old ‘he’ at a parents’ evening.
Miriam Cates MP, a former teacher – said: ‘This research is highly concerning as it shows that a significant proportion of schools still have policies that are consistent with neither the law nor safeguarding.
‘To keep children safe, adults must always know and be truthful about whether a child is male or female, and any policy that allows or encourages teachers to ‘transition’ children is clearly wrong.
‘Too many schools have swallowed activist interpretations of the Equality Act by falsely stating that ‘gender identity’ is a protected characteristic, which it is not.’
A Department for Education spokesman said: ‘We are absolutely clear about the importance of biological sex, particularly in the context of safeguarding, and the role parents must play in decisions about their children.
‘Schools and colleges are expected to follow all guidance issued by the Government, whether it is statutory or not… Our guidance is clear that in nearly every case schools should not support the social transition of primary aged children, including not using pronouns that do not align with the child’s sex.’
A trust has advised teachers to assist girls to use breast binders on school trips and allowed students to sleep in bedrooms which matched their ‘gender identity’. That trust includes a number of Church of England primary schools. Breast binders cause no end of physical and psychological problems.
Astonishingly, the Church of England even asked the fanatically pro-trans Stonewall lobby group to fund its trans guidance. No surprise that the report, sneakily called ‘Valuing All God’s Children’ said primary schoolchildren can be transgender. The guide remains in use nationwide. Accepting a child’s delusion is to value them? No, that is a lie.
The Lord Jesus said: John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Gender ideology before children’s well-being
In January 2024, it emerged a boy of 4 was allowed to join a Church of England school as a girl. Parents said the boy’s true sex was hidden from his classmates. They were said to be traumatised when they learned the truth.
Would you not expect the leaders of our established church to follow the prophet Ezekiel and teach the difference between holy and profane, to discern right from wrong, truth from lies?
In England and Northern Ireland, but not in Wales and Scotland, the NHS have stopped prescribing puberty blockers for under-18s. But why are doctors in England still allowed to apply for special dispensation to prescribe the drugs in ‘exceptional circumstances’?
Pro-trans activists have gained power in both the educational and health establishment UK-wide. It is concerning that gender ideology is being prioritised above the well-being of children.
It is unfortunate that parents in the United Kingdom are increasingly feeling unable to trust teachers. Even if individual teachers are not personally focused on transgender ideology, they may work within educational institutions that prioritise it.
Despite knowing the difference between right and wrong, some educators may choose to conceal questionable practices from parents.
Therefore, it’s crucial to bear in mind that you have a legal right to express the truth. Always use pronouns that correspond to biological, genetically determined sex rather than invented ‘gender’ concepts.
Additionally, it’s important to remember that under Article 2 of the First Protocol of the Human Rights Act, ‘the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure that education and teaching are in line with their own religious and philosophical beliefs.’
READ: Gen 1:27-28; Ezekiel 16:49; Romans 1:25-27; 1 Cor 6:9; Gal 5:19; Col 3:5; Hebrews 13:4.

Disinformation being spread about Hate Crime Act, First Minister claims
Scotland’s controversial new hate crime laws have been implemented. But bemused Scots are ridiculing the measure.
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act came into force on April 1. Sponsors of the Act claims it aims to “provide greater protection for victims and communities”.
Suppress free speech
A person commits an offence under the Act if they communicate material, or behave in a manner, “that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive”, with the intention of stirring up hatred based on the ‘protected characteristics’.
The new regulations will “address the harm caused by hatred and prejudice”. However, critics argue that they will suppress free speech and be weaponised to “settle scores”.
The legislation combines current laws and introduces fresh offences for behaviour that ‘aims to incite hatred based on prejudices against various characteristics such as age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and “transgender” identity’.
The new provisions add to the laws on the statute book for race, which have been in place since 1986. Sign our petition against these and similar provisions and to defend free speech:
There are concerns that innocent people could end up on police databases with controversial new hate crime laws in Scotland being weaponised to “settle scores”.
The director of campaign group For Women Scotland, told Sky News: ‘Much of this is very vague as stirring up offences seems to be based on someone’s perception that someone is being hateful towards them, and they can make a complaint and the police are saying they will investigate everything.
‘We know that there are people out there who have lists of people they are looking to target.
According to Susan Smith, the officials who supports the bill are seeing this as an opportunity to “settle scores and make political points”.
“Misgendering” a crime?
Sex has been omitted from the act as a standalone bill designed to tackle misogyny. It might be laid before the Scottish parliament at a later date.
When asked whether ‘misgendering’ someone on the internet was a crime under the new law, Siobhian Brown MSP, minister for victims and community safety, said on Monday morning: ‘It would be a police matter for them to assess what happens.
‘It could be reported and it could be investigated – whether or not the police would think it was criminal is up to Police Scotland.’
During the interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme, she added: ‘There is a very high threshold which is in the act which would be up to Police Scotland, and what would have to be said online or in person would be threatening and abusive.’ But according to her, it is subjective.
Scots are laughing at the new law.
Scots are having some fun with the new law. Anyone can report a hate crime to Police Scotland, not just the alleged victim, and the force has pledged to investigate every report it receives. The public have taken full advantage.
In the first 24 hours alone, Spiked Online reported: ‘an astonishing 3,800 so-called hate crimes were reported to the police – at a rate of around 60 complaints per hour. This is well above the 790 daily crime reports of all types that police in Scotland had to deal with last year. Given that Police Scotland have pledged to investigate every single report of hate, it is surely only a matter of time before they are completely overwhelmed.’
The Telegraph reports the force is hastily recruiting extra personnel to cope with the deluge. Many of the reports from the public concern the anti-white remarks made by Humza Yousaf himself in the Scottish Parliament during a debate on Black Lives Matter and the murder of George Floyd in 2020. See our report here. Of course those remarks will not be investigated. They were made before the Act came into force, and in any case, the Scots elite, white or not, will never investigate one of their own.
The public have also made complaints about Siobhian Brown. Spiked say: ‘Scots have no idea what speech could fall foul of the law. It hasn’t helped that Police Scotland’s own publicity states that deciding what is hateful comes down to an individual’s perception. Who is Siobhian Brown to say that Yousaf’s rant against white Scots was not “hateful”?’
‘Hatred has been far too pervasive in our society’
Scottish First Minister, Humza Yousaf defending hate law
Scottish First Minister, Humza Yousaf, speaking about the new legislation on Sky News said: ‘In terms of acts of hatred, I think anybody would recognise in the last few years… hatred has been far too pervasive in our society.
‘We have to take strong action against it. We have to have a zero-tolerance approach to it.
‘I’ve got every confidence in police investigating matters of hatred appropriately, and of course making sure that we protect freedom of expression so vital to our democracy.”
Harry Potter author, J K Rowling, has criticised the new hate crime laws.
Rowling posted several remarks on X, speaking out against “transgender women”, including those who were incarcerated in women’s prisons.
‘I’m currently out of the country, but if what I’ve written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.’
She said the new legislation ‘is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women’s and girls’ single-sex spaces’.
The 58-year-old argued: ‘It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man’.
Among those who praised Rowling for her opposition to the Hate Crime Act was UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
He defended her by stating that individuals should not face criminalisation for stating basic biological facts and affirmed that his Conservative Party will always safeguard free speech.
However, before we laud Rishi Sunak as a champion of free speech, it’s important to note that the rest of the UK doesn’t necessarily provide a safe place for unrestricted thought and expression. Beyond Scotland, there exist stringent hate speech laws. Christian street preachers are frequently arrested and charged for publicly preaching the word of God.

NHS is pro-trans: The Equality Act allowed King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to paint this 'Progress Pride' abomination on a walkway at their Princess Royal Hospital, Orpington.
The NHS has banned the prescription of puberty blockers to children in England.
The decision stems from an independent review of services for children under 18 and a sharp rise in referrals to the Gender Identity Development Service run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
These clinics are set to shut down as a result of the findings, marking the end of their services by the close of March.
NHS pro-trans
Not enough evidence of safety
The NHS has stated that its decision is based on insufficient evidence supporting the safety or clinical effectiveness of puberty blockers.
‘Puberty blockers are not available to children and young people for gender incongruence or gender dysphoria because there is not enough evidence of safety and clinical effectiveness.
‘From around the age of 16, young people with a diagnosis of gender incongruence or gender dysphoria who meet various clinical criteria may be given gender-affirming hormones alongside psychosocial and psychological support.’
Sign OUR petitions, which oppose RSE and the related issue of transgenderism:
The decision by the NHS to ban the prescription of puberty blockers is a welcome development. However, it is significantly flawed with the clause of still giving ‘young children diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” gender-affirming hormones.’
Our Lord said,
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, He said unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Given the clauses attached above, it is crucial to enact a ban on hormone-altering injections for individuals of all ages.
‘Children’s safety and well-being is paramount’
Health minister, Maria Caulfield, said: ‘We have always been clear that children’s safety and wellbeing is paramount, so we welcome this landmark decision by the NHS.
‘Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child.’
The consultation on the future of services received more than 4,000 responses, including around a quarter from members of the public, 22% from patients, 21% from parents, 10% from trans adults and 5% from clinicians.
Dr. Cass’ review
In February 2022, Dr Cass published an interim report saying there was a need to move away from one unit and recommended the creation of regional services to better support youngsters.
She also pointed to a lack of long-term evidence and data collection on what happens to children and young people who are prescribed medication.
She added that Gids had not collected routine and consistent data “which means it is not possible to accurately track the outcomes and pathways that children and young people take through the service.”

England and Northern Ireland are at odds with Wales and Scotland over the issue of “puberty blockers”. Below you will find prayers and links to email your MP, MLA, MS or MSP.
The National Health Service has confirmed that children will no longer be prescribed life-altering puberty blockers at gender identity clinics in England. Its major ‘trans’ hub, the Tavistock Centre, will close. Northern Ireland’s Health minister Robin Swann has announced the Province will follow England’s lead.
But there are no plans to protect children in either Wales or Scotland. A survey has found all schools in Wales are allowing children to change gender, many without telling their parents. In Scotland, Glasgow’s Sandyford clinic will continue giving out the experimental drugs. The Scottish Government said NHS England’s “position” is being “closely considered.”
The UK government said it welcomed the “landmark decision” of NHS England, adding it would help ensure care is based on evidence and is in the “best interests of the child”.
It follows a public consultation on the issue and an interim policy, and comes after NHS England commissioned an independent review of gender identity services for children under 18 in 2020 under consultant paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass OBE.
The review followed a sharp rise in referrals to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) – a specialised service for young people who experience difficulties in the development of their gender identity, which is closing at the end of March following repeated scrutiny.
Run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, GIDS had 5,000 referrals in 2021/22, compared to just under 250 a decade earlier. GIDS is now set to close, to be replaced by regional centres, as we report below.
Schools in Wales allow puberty blockers
Jeremy Miles AM, Welsh Government Minister for Education
Under Welsh Labour and the SNP’s Scotland, the safety of children is being sacrificed on the altar of ideology. Schools in Wales are allowing children to change gender without informing parents. This has prompted concern among parents to speak out over the situation when pupils start to question their gender in schools.
All 68 schools in Wales revealed in freedom of information requests that they would enable the ‘gender transition’ of a pupil. However, only 28% of the schools said they would tell parents.
Responding, the Welsh Government has promised to release draft guidance for schools in the spring, aiming to advise them on handling situations where children question their gender.
In January, the Welsh Government announced the “trans” guidance for schools in England ‘will not apply to schools in Wales’. Trans ideology is driving policy in Wales and harming children. Not only does homosexual minister Jeremy Miles AM not care, but newly elected first minister Vaughan Gething has pledged to ‘continue to support the right of trans people to self-identify as the gender of their choice’..
Shirley-Anne Somerville MSP, Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice
Scotland’s gender recognition bill was blocked, thank God, by Rishi Sunak in Westminster with a notice under Section 35 of the Scotland Act 1998. The bill, passed by the Scottish parliament in December, aimed to make it easier for people to ‘change their gender’. However, in January, the UK Government refused to let the bill become law.
This is the first time in nearly 25 years that Westminster has blocked a Scottish bill. The Court of Appeal upheld the ‘Section 35 notice’ and the Scottish Government will not appeal it. However, the direction of travel is still firmly towards the trans activists and their ideology rather than towards the well-being of children. The Scottish government refuse to abandon the Bill.
Scottish ‘Social Justice’ Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said: ‘We are unwavering in our commitment to supporting and empowering LGBTQI+ people in Scotland.’ And not vulnerable children.
On 28th July 2022, the NHS ordered the closure of the Central Transgender clinic by spring 2023. This followed the interim report by Dr. Hilary Cass, who is also a former president at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
Dr Cass expressed concern that young people were ‘at substantial danger’ of poor mental health and anxiety from advice and treatment at the Tavistock.
All the UK nations are behind the curve. In February 2022, the Swedish government ended the practice of prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for under 18s. They rejected the ‘Dutch Protocol’ of medical “affirmation”, which had been endorsed, naturally, by the trans-activist WPATH ”Standards of Care 7” guidelines. Sweden called it ‘experimental’. The Lord Jesus said:
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. … and …
Matthew 9:12b They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Pro-Transgender ‘Pride Flag’ painted on a walkway at NHS Princess Royal Hospital, Orpington, England.
Two new centres will open in April at two specialist children’s hospitals in England: Great Ormond Street in London and Alder Hey children’s hospital in Liverpool.
NHS England hopes to ultimately create seven or eight centres. However, the services they provide will be what NHS sources say will be “fundamentally different from the current service, in line with the Cass recommendations”.
Maria Caulfield, the health minister, said: ‘We welcome this landmark decision by the NHS to end the routine prescription of puberty blockers and this guidance which recognises that care must be based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and in the best interests of the child.
‘The NHS must ensure its Gender Identity Services protect, support and act in the best interests of children and we will continue to work with NHS England to protect children in this area.’
However, as we report elsewhere and in our video below, NHS Trusts are self-governing and at liberty to be as ‘pro-trans’ as they want. That is why the Gender Recognition Act and the Equality Act must go.
The NHS website admits that the effects of hormone blockers include infertility. Yet they may still be allowed for 18’s and over. In the light of the words of the Lord Jesus, and the medical principle of first not doing harm, we are campaigning for a complete ban UK-wide on sex-change drugs and on the mutilation of ‘gender-affirming surgery.’ Sign our Petition:
READ: Gen 1:27, 5:2; Lev 20:13 Deut 6:6-7; 1Kings 14:24; Neh 4:14; Isa 28:9b, 28:17, 45:9-10; Ezek 16:49; Matt 9:12b; John 10:10; Rom 1:25-27; Eph 5:9; 2Peter 2:6-10; Jude 1:7;
PRAY: for the repeal of woke laws, specifically the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and the Equality Act 2010.
Thank God in the meantime for Dr Hilary Cass, and for the partial example set by Sweden. Pray for the NHS and the devolved health departments, Pray for the UK Government and for Members of Parliament and for the governments and members of assemblies in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
Pray for and email your MP, MLA, MS, MSP as appropriate (Links to find them are embedded in the letters). Urge them to put children first and to reject the stupidity of second-guessing God and trying to ‘change gender’.

(Video Transcript:) I was going to spare you any comment on the Scarlet Blake / Fangze Wang affair, which is on our website anyway, but it’s still drawing comment, with the BBC’s Samira Ahmed agonising about it on Newswatch last Saturday morning (2nd March 2024).
But an earlier piece on Saturday’s BBC news, where presenter Naga Munchetty interviewed MP Tobias Ellwood about threats to MPs without either of them once telling viewers where the threats were actually coming from, tipped the balance.
Questioning Reality
The media / political complex are manipulating us into doubting our own sanity, into questioning reality, into believing their absurdities. Well, you’ll only get the truth here, so let me show you how it works with half-a-dozen examples. Then we’ll see what to do about it.
We’ll start with Covid, where they pretended we were all equally at risk, that bacterial handwash and crude masks could stop an air-borne virus, that experimental gene-therapies were safe, fully-tested good honest vaccines. The Bible tells us there can be such people as ‘physicians of no value’. (Find all our Bible references below.) See: ‘Lockdown a failed experiment’
They do it on abortion. Not even pro-life MPs want to rock the boat by asking their pro-abortion colleagues what exactly is that in the womb? Is that a human being? Was the psalmist right to say ‘thou hast covered ME in my mother’s womb’ or not?
They are doing it over Russia / Ukraine, repeating that the Russians and ‘Putin’ are totally evil while Ukraine, Mr Zelensky, NATO, the US and the EU are as pure as the driven snow, so Mr Sunak can quietly send billions of pounds of your money to fight his proxy war and enrich his pals in the arms firms. People trot out lines they have learnt from the BBC forgetting the psalmist said: ‘I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.’
They are doing it, as I saw on Saturday morning (2nd March 2024), over Islam, much preferring to talk about Lee Anderson’s supposed ‘Islamophobia’ than admit the threats to MPs are coming from pro-Hamas Muslims and their leftist friends, from Islamists, in other words.
They pretend there is nothing wrong with mass Muslim migration and that they can replace our Christian constitution with multiculturalism.
You have Rishi Sunak claiming the UK is ‘the world’s most successful … multi-faith democracy’. Well did the prophet say: ‘truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’
They let the education establishment get away with doing it over RSE, pretending they can show what amounts to pornography to children, lying that it is ‘age-appropriate’.
They’re also gaslighting YOUR children into believing it’s just fine to be promiscuous or homosexual and perfectly normal for a girl to decide she is actually a boy and be given life-changing drugs and mutilatory surgery, despite the Lord Jesus saying ‘They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.’
Which leads us finally to Fangze Wang, a deranged man who prefers to be called Scarlet Blake and pretend he is a woman, with Police, CPS, the judge and journalists colluding in his self-deception, hoping YOU won’t notice the one THEY are calling a woman is really a man. The Lord Jesus himself said God created us male and female, not ourselves.
It’s gaslighting built on absurdity. So what to do about it? Firstly, make sure YOU are rooted in the truth of both his word and current events. We’ll help you by looking behind the scenes and telling it as it is both here (our Youtube channel) and on our website so you can pray informed prayers.
Pray the Lord will raise up God-fearing men, change the hearts of the king’s ministers or replace them with men after his own heart. Pray for them to be what the Bible calls ‘able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness.’ Let’s be fully aware a general election is coming, and of what the opinion polls say, but let us never forget God does miracles. We’ll be saying, ‘this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.’

West Sussex Fire and Rescue staff have been taught that sex is “just a label” and may run along a spectrum.
According to Telegraph, the emergency service staff have received instruction in “transgender & non-binary” inclusion.
Part of the guide makes a series of unfounded claims, including a section asking “what is the gender binary?”, in which firefighters have been informed that “in white Western cultures, gender is seen as being an either/or choice, also known as a binary”.
The training material tells emergency service staff that gender is a set of behaviours, while “sex is the label we are assigned by a doctor when we’re born”.
This label does not cover the “range of innate gender identities a person might have”.
A part of the material states: ‘In truth, our understanding of the amount of difference between bodies is only just emerging, and current research indicates that there is probably more of a physical spectrum of biological sex rather than the simple binary of male and female.’
The Bible says, Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Trans ideology, a growing threat to female sport
A female football player suffered a serious knee injury while blocking a shot from transgender player Francesca Needham (pictured).
Trans ideology has recently become a threat to women in sport. A growing concern in the world of sports is the decision of some female athletes stepping away from competitions because of the physical advantages of “transgender” women.
It was commonly acknowledged that male and female bodies have inherent differences, particularly in sports, where these distinctions are significant.
Despite ongoing debates on sex and gender, the sporting arena stands out as a space where the majority readily acknowledge the crucial role played by biology.
Policy Exchange published a paper supported by top athletes like Martina Navratilova, Daley Thompson, and Sharron Davies. They believe that every woman and girl in sports should have fairness and safety, not just the elite. The athletes argue that, for too long, transgender inclusion has been prioritized over the rights of women and girls.
To keep sports fair, we need to protect the female category.
Another teacher banned for “misgendering” a pupil
The Telegraph reported that in December 2023, another teacher was banned from the profession for “misgendering” a pupil.
60-year-old Kevin Lister lost his job at a further education college after refusing to use a male name and pronouns to refer to a 17-year-old female pupil who identified as a boy.
He also warned the pupil against “irreversible” surgical treatment.
Mr Lister said he had lost “the best job in the world” after 16 years of teaching.
‘I was a maths lecturer, but was fired for not affirming, and not hiding secrets from parents.’

Male police officers posing as women (‘trans-women’) are now permitted to strip-search female suspects, according to research into force policies.
Of the 43 forces in England and Wales, at least 34 have either implemented the policy or intend to, a report from the Women’s Rights Network revealed.
The feminist group’s founder, Heather Binning, said the guidelines would lead to ‘state-sanctioned sexual assault’, and police leaders had failed the public by pandering to vocal lobbyists.
‘Self-identification is not UK law and women should not be paying the price for policing beyond the law,’ she said.
‘Police chiefs have failed us again. This is not reasonable or lawful and we do not consent. It is state-sanctioned sexual assault, and it must not be tolerated.’
The Bible says, Proverbs 31:25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
In December 2021, the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) endorsed a policy document suggesting that officers should have the authority to conduct strip and intimate searches on suspects of the opposite sex, provided the officer identifies themselves with the same “gender” as the individual being searched.
This policy has been adopted and is currently being enforced by the majority of police forces nationwide, without explicitly addressing the protected characteristic of sex.
Part of the document reads: ‘Chief Officers are advised to recognise the status of transgender colleagues from the moment they transition, considered being the point at which they present in the gender with which they identify.
‘Thus, once a transgender colleague has transitioned, they will search persons of the same gender as their own lived gender.’
The last few years have seen men attempt to take on female roles in sports, media, adverts, and other leadership positions.
UN Women charity appoints a man to represent British women
A United Nations Women’s charity has been criticised for nominating a man to represent UK women’s champion.
In November, the charity committee appointed a male who presents a highly sexualised stereotype of womanhood as an ambassador for women.
At least 17 campaign groups have signed a letter opposing the appointment of Ian Bergdorf who now goes by the name “Munroe Bergdorf” as the first ‘UK champion’ for UN Women UK.
The groups voiced their ‘dismay and disappointment’ following the decision to select the 36-year-old former DJ turn model and broadcaster to take on the role.
The organisations include Fair Play For Women, Sex Matters, Transgender Trend, and the Women’s Rights Network.
Group statement
The groups in their joint letter wrote: ‘We wish to register our dismay and disappointment at the appointment of Munroe Bergdorf as a UN Women UK champion. Munroe Bergdorf is unsuitable in every regard.
‘Munroe Bergdorf’s well-publicised activism is not pro-women. This person has objected to women making references to our female bodies.’
Munroe Bergdorf
Munroe Bergdorf was fired by L’Oreal in 2017 due to provocative remarks on race, sparking controversy that later entangled pop star and fellow cosmetic ambassador Cheryl Tweedy.
The activist, who is also broadcaster and contributing editor at British Vogue, faced a backlash over his online post responding to the violence of white supremacists in Charlottesville, in which he said all white people were racist.
In it, Bergdorf wrote: ‘Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people.’
‘Because most of ya’ll don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour,’ Bergdorf reportedly wrote in the post, which was later deleted. “Your entire existence is drenched in racism.’
Following further public scrutiny, Bergdorf issued an apology for past social media messages, including derogatory comments made in 2012 and offensive remarks about suffragettes.
Mr Bergdorf, who once enjoyed posing for pictures with ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, stood down from his role on the party’s LGBT+ advisory board following the media storm over his comments.
Social reactions
An X user known as WhatHappened.com@JohnBla27209136 wrote: ‘UN Women appoints biological male Munroe Bergdorf as its “UK Champion.” In order to signal wokeness, trans women are even preferred over biological women, not only erasing women from their own spaces, but appointing males to be the literal ‘representatives’ of women.’
Another user, Marina van Zyl@marinavanzyl wrote: ‘UN Women National Committee UK” has appointed Munroe Bergdorf as their first women’s champion. He is a 36-year-old “trans-identified” man, who underwent a series of procedures including shaving the bones in his face, packing his chest with silicone.’
What is united about the UN Women’s move?
According to UN Women UK, their goal is to transform the lives of women and girls along with “empowerment of women equality globally within civil society, government, and the corporate sector”.
The move to appoint a male to fill a female position by the UN Women has raised concerns regarding the charity’s credibility.
Campaign group, Fair Play for Women said: ‘UN Women has made a point of demonstrating that it considers males can become women. It’s disappointing to see the UK committee go so far as to select a male to represent women.

British MPs and Peers have urged the Football Association (FA) to ban men posing as women from participating in women’s football.
This call follows an incident in the Sheffield and Hallamshire League, where four women’s teams opted out of playing against a transgender player, a man using the name Francesca Needham, after a girl suffered a significant knee injury while trying to block this player.
The letter was sent by Miriam Cates and co-signed by 42 Conservative MPs, two Labour MPs, two from the Democratic Unionist Party and one from the Alba Party, along with 27 members of the House of Lords.
According to the letter, the FA has turned “a blind eye” on the issue and passed the buck to “individual clubs and managers” instead of issuing clear instructions on whether trans players can join women’s soccer teams.
Mr. Needham’s case has ignited a contentious debate, involving a minimum of 50 men (transgender) transgender players currently participating in women’s leagues across England.
Miriam Cates MP, the lead signatory, brought up the issue in the House of Commons last week, emphasising the importance of prioritising safety.
Miriam Cates MP
She pointed out that, unlike the Rugby Football Union and British Cycling, the FA has so far ignored the impact transgender inclusion has on women’s participation. Not only that, it’s dangerous.
The Conservative MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge said: ‘Allowing males to compete in women’s and girls’ teams undermines that principle of fairness and puts women and girls in danger.
‘It’s deeply concerning that women’s teams in South Yorkshire have had to pull out of matches due to fears for players’ physical safety when playing against a male opponent.’
More reactions
Former FA Chairman, Lord Triesman, reacting to protecting women’s rights in football said: ‘As the governing body for all levels of football in England, the FA should be paying particular attention to issues affecting amateur and semi-professional clubs.
‘Recent incidents have shown there is a pressing need for strong central guidance to ensure that women and girls are not disadvantaged or put at risk of physical harm. I am calling on the FA to make it clear that male-bodied players should not be playing on women’s teams or in women’s leagues.’
Maya Forstater, executive director of Sex Matters, said: ‘There is nothing in the Equality Act or the Gender Recognition Act that says women’s sports must be opened up to men who identify as women. In fact, the Football Association, the most influential sporting association in the UK, is discriminating against women and girls by not protecting women’s teams. It is totally unacceptable for the FA knowingly to be putting women in harm’s way.’
Discrimination claims?
In a now-deleted post on Rossington Main Ladies’ Facebook page last month, Mr Needham said he had quit football when rival clubs refused to take part in matches against him.
‘As some of you may have heard, Rossington Main Ladies FC has faced challenges from teams unwilling to play against us while I am on the field,” the player wrote.
‘This unfortunate circumstance has prompted me to investigate pursuing a case of discrimination, as I believe it represents a breach of the code of conduct regarding diversity and inclusion, as well as safeguarding of adults in football established by both the Football Association and the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women and Girls League.’
Misrepresentation of women
Nathan “Naomi’ O’Brien
Women have persistently grappled with misrepresentation, especially within the media and various organisations.
In a recent article, The Daily Mail refers to men as ‘She.’ But in an even more concerning instance, Greater Manchester Police, in a tweet stated: ‘A man and a woman have been sentenced to a combined 16 years and 9 months in prison for their roles in the sexual abuse of a child.’
Detective Inspector Marsden referred to the ‘female suspect,’ identified as ‘Naomi O’Brien.’ However, this information was inaccurate, as evident from the photo posted by the police. The real name of the suspect is Nathan. The other offender was Nathan’s boyfriend, Jonathan Walker, revealing the case involved two gay individuals.
The misleading characterisation of a male sex offender as a ‘predatory female’ by the police not only deceives the public, it also distorts crime statistics.
The Bible says, Isaiah 59:14-15 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
‘Man in a wig’
Tory MP Rachel MacLean came under pressure to delete her post and issue an apology to Green Party candidate Matthew Viner, who now identifies as Melissa, following her reference to him as a ‘man in a wig.’
The Conservative deputy chair for women shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, describing Matthew Viner as a ‘man who wears a wig and calls himself a ‘proud lesbian.’
She added a comment: ‘While the Greens don’t know what a woman is, my Worcestershire neighbours, the people of Bromsgrove certainly do.’
Meanwhile, Joe Baker, Labour group leader at Redditch Borough Council, criticised Mrs. Maclean’s comments and described them as ‘absolutely vile and hateful’. While Tory MP Wendy Morton said Ms. Maclean failed to show due ‘respect’ towards ‘Poulton’ and his new identity.
In 2019, Matthew Viner stood for the Conservative Party in the Wyre Forest council elections under his real name. Yet the Greens, the BBC, and even the Daily Telegraph refer to him as ‘she’.
Made in God’s image
Undoubtedly, everyone is created in the image and likeness of God. However, those who attempt to alter creation by all forms of mutilation spits in the face of God, who created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
We call for repentance and possibly deliverance.
The Bible says, 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
READ: Psalm 26:5; Isaiah 7:15,59:14; Micah 6:8; Mark 12:30-31; John 14:15; Rom 12:2; Col 3:2; Timothy 2:22; 2Pet 2:6-10; 2 Jude 1:7; Rev. 22:15.

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) has proposed that men who identify as “transgender” serve sentences in female prisons, even if they have a history of violence against women.
The SPS report said men should be provided the opportunity and support to work towards being housed in a jail cell that aligns with their “affirmed” gender.
‘Trans criminals should serve time in female jails to allow them to prepare for life as women on release, according to the new guidance for Scottish prisons.’
The SPS policy was unveiled last week. Part of the report states that male criminals with a history of violence against women could be housed in a female prison if there was “compelling” evidence they did not pose “an unacceptable risk of harm”.
But the detailed guidance on its operation stated that even those deemed too dangerous to be housed in women’s prison could still be allowed to mingle with female inmates in other settings. This is a recipe for disaster.
‘There may be other ways of supporting their gender identity, for example through access to work parties, activities, or even programmes with others of their gender identity,’ the report added.
The Bible says, Proverbs 12:23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
Repeal the Gender Recognition Act 2004
As leaders strive to put this country together, it is crucial to pay attention to issues that could put citizens in danger. It is also crucial to acknowledge the significant role played by the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) 2004 in exacerbating problems and contributing to avoidable crimes.
The recently proposed SPS protocol, set to be implemented on February 26, 2024, again states that male (trans) offenders would “not be eligible to be considered for admission or transfer to a women’s prison” if they had been convicted, or were awaiting trial or sentencing for a series of crimes such as murder and rape.
The term “trans” itself raises concerns, whether applied to individuals with a criminal history or law-abiding citizens. Consequently, Christian Voice remains steadfast in its advocacy for the repeal of the Gender Recognition Act 2004, the exclusion of ‘gender reassignment’ from the Equality Act 2010, and the establishment of legislation prohibiting puberty-blockers and ‘gender-affirming’ mutilation.
SPS reponds
A spokesperson for Scottish Prison Service, said: ‘Our new policy supports the health, safety, and wellbeing of all people living and working in Scotland’s prisons, by taking an individualised approach to the admission, placement, and management of transgender people.
‘We will carefully consider a range of factors, including offending history, with a particular focus on violence against women and girls, when assessing risk.’
The Bible says, Isaiah 10:10 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed
Protection for female inmates watered down
The new SPS report shows that the rights and protection of female inmates is no longer prioritised.
Women’s rights campaigners and members of the Conservative Party have warned that the newly implemented policy, which was introduced in the aftermath of the Adam Graham scandal (now Isla Bryson), drastically waters down protections for female inmates.
Mr Graham was convicted of raping two women before claiming to be a “woman”. Meanwhile, in September, a paedophile claimed to be a woman before appearing before a Court over the possession of indecent photos of children.
Dominic Mark Carter, now ‘Sophie Louise’ Carter, attended Southampton Crown Court dressed in a pink shirt, pink shorts and pink nail polish, posing as a woman.
In the meantime, the approach will continue until the new policy officially comes into force on 26 February 2024.
