In light of the Huntley revelation I think it is important that people see this page of the Manifesto produced by Edinburgh Action for Trans Health which demands the immediate release and pardon of all trans prisoners

Link to the Manifesto here: edinburghath.tumblr.com/post/163521055…

They were supported in a protest by Sisters Uncut in Edinburgh against a @Womans_Place_UK meeting, wrong side of history and all that. Link here: libcom.org/news/transphob…

Thats just one mad group? Nope. It is national, that is just the Edinburgh Chapter. Link here to national page: actionfortranshealth.org.uk

Back to Edinburgh and Edinburgh Action for Trans Health who, according to their manifesto, demand the immediate release and pardon of this sadistic killer and reparations from the State. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

I tweeted about the Manifesto in December when they protested women discussing proposed changes to the Equality Act 2010 but it seems like a good time to share it again...

Gather round. 1. The NHS is evil and should pay reparations

2. They state they will not tolerate compromise and this is war. Well, #WarOnWomen it certainly is. They demand universally accessible hormone blockers & surgery, no medical gate-keeping and reparations again.

Here there is a field day of appropriating oppression. The NHS is compared to a Nazi regime. Nevertheless they do get a point for mentioning that SRS surgical techniques were developed in concentration camps.

Here they demand an end to medicine (?), free over the counter hormones and blockers AT ANY AGE, Oppertunity to decide their own dose (who needs years of medical knowledge hey), no more surgical prerequisites

They demand the right to free multiple surgery, including reversal so they do not have to fear regret, oh and the revoking of medical liscenses from all gender clinic doctors and nurses

Here, well first of all you can get medical training & knowledge - go to University like everyone else. Libraries - you are describing University! Jokes aside, they want to let only trans teach children from nurserey up.

They demand an end to birth certificates here. The last page is the immediate release of all trans prisoners, most of which are serving a sentence for sexual offences by the way:

Governments are consulting with this group to change legislation. Compare and contrast to the @Womans_Place_UK manifesto, a group who have been excluded from legislative consultation and deemed 'transphobic'

A brilliant point raised by @SaintCirce 'the @LibDems Federal Policy Committee has stated anyone 'deadnaming' Huntley is a "transphobic arse", Presumably, he includes Holly & Jessica's parents in that description'.

The concept of 'deadnaming' poses serious problems for CRB (now DBS) checks, and the sex offenders register for example. Does anyone have any information regarding this which they would like to share?

Wouldn't get anywhere near power, right? Wrong! In New York the maximum fine for misgendering is $250,000. Fact checked by Snopes here: snopes.com/fact-check/tra…

Canada, the passage of bill C-16 makes misgendering a hate crime which can result in a fine or imprisionment : nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-ou…

U.K. a judge compelled purjury in the assualt case against Wolf :telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/04/1…

In response to this thread I have had this retort, well, I'm simply overcome by their argument, a new Cicero this one...

Dianne Abbott MP, the Shadow Home Secretary, recently spoke at a fundraiser for Action for Trans Health, whose Edinburgh branch produced the Manifesto. Thank you @sweepfrancis for finding the article

Sorry it is the Daily Fail but the link is here: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…

Brought to my attention & originally screen grabbed by @FeministRoar, that fundraiser Dianne Abbott spoke at and who wrote the manifesto - the group recommends and celebrates violence against women. They said 'let our violence be a force for good'....

1/2. Regarding identity changes and DBS (formerly CBS) checks @Obsolesence has submitted this: From @fairplaywomen "Girlguiding is extending this to include any man who says he’s a woman. No evidence required...

2/2. No diagnosis of gender dysphoria. No surgery (they will still have a penis). No need to openly declare offences on DBS application in a previous gender." from @fairplaywomen. There are Qs & As regarding background checks in the comments to this thread.

@inanna62 has raised this significant counter argument to C-16's impact in Canada, suggesting just possibility and bringing federal law into line: sds.utoronto.ca/blog/bill-c-16…
