Trans people exist and they are trans. They deserve to be treated fairly by society and competently by physicians. However, males cannot become females or vice versa. If trans could accept being trans rather than insist on biological impossibilities we’d all have better lives.
This is not quite accurate. The guidance says “he/she *as a general term*” (i.e. when not referring to a specific person) might be replaced with them/they. The policy chart says use the pronouns people want you to use.
The pronouns “he” and “she” are non-inclusive and make people uncomfortable, a council has said.
Spelthorne borough council, in Surrey, has updated its inclusive language and communication guide to advise against using them. The council, run by a Liberal Democrat coalition, has instead asked staff to use them/they.

I have finally after 43 years of membership, and being a very active senior staff rep in the NHS, resigned from my union, Unite, over it's refusal to respect women's rights.
It has made it plain that it has no respect for women and believes that men who identify as women make better women than those born female. – at Haddington, Scotland
Are these are the 'whole selves' captured employers want in their factories, offices, cop shops, hospitals and schools?
We've been civilised since the SCJ, expecting the law to be obeyed. It isn't. We have to get noisy again. Government only listens when the debate is toxic.

I'm gay. I like men. That’s it.
I don’t collect flags, I don’t police your words, I don’t want children anywhere near this, and I have no time for the activist sideshow.
Two grown adults who love each other. That’s it.
That’s all it ever needed to be.
Yup
I have avoided social media for days due to illness, but I cannot stay silent in the face of this absolute heresy, born out of the pits of hell itself!
This is not merely an eccentric interpretation of Christianity. It is a profoundly perverse distortion of the biblical witness concerning the person of Jesus Christ.
The claim that the Blessed Virgin Mary “assigned Jesus male at birth” fundamentally misrepresents both Scripture and the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation. Mary did not determine, construct, or assign the sex of Christ. Before His conception, the angel Gabriel declared:
“You will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.” Luke 1:31.
Likewise, St Matthew records the angel saying of Mary:
“She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.” Matthew 1:21.
Christ’s identity as the Son is therefore proclaimed before His birth. The language of the Gospel is not that Mary inspected her newborn child and imposed an identity upon Him. Rather, the child conceived by the Holy Spirit is repeatedly and unambiguously identified as the Son.
And the assertion that Christ was resurrected as His “true transgender self” is even more extraordinary, because it directly contradicts the resurrection narratives.
The risen Christ is the same Jesus who was crucified.
He tells Thomas to see His hands and place his hand into His side. He eats with His disciples. He identifies Himself with the body that suffered upon the Cross. Christian orthodoxy confesses not the abandonment of Christ’s created humanity but its resurrection and glorification.
As the Nicene Creed declares, the eternal Son “was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.”
The Incarnation is not raw material upon which every contemporary ideology may impose itself.
Jesus Christ is not a blank canvas upon which ungodly clergy may paint whatever anthropology happens to be fashionable in their generation. He is the eternal Son of God, incarnate in history, born of the Virgin Mary, crucified under Pontius Pilate, bodily raised from the dead and ascended into glory.
A priest is ordained to proclaim that faith, not reinvent its central figure to fit their personal ideology!
There is also something seriously pastorally irresponsible about presenting speculation as though it were Christian revelation. People experiencing questions concerning sex or gender deserve compassion, dignity and serious pastoral care. They do not need clergy rewriting the person of Christ in order to validate a modern unbiblical theory.
The Church’s answer must be both charitable and truthful.
We do not need to demean transgender people in order to say unequivocally that Jesus Christ was not transgender. Scripture gives no warrant whatsoever for that assertion, no matter how much any cleric tries to portray it.
Nor did Mary “assign” Jesus anything.
She received Him.
She bore Him.
She named Him according to the command of God.
And on Easter morning it was not some newly discovered identity that walked out of the tomb. It was Jesus Christ Himself, the crucified and risen Lord, bearing in His glorified body the wounds of Calvary.
Christian ministers are custodians of a faith received, not authors of a faith invented.
When clergy begin remaking Christ in the image of contemporary culture, the proper response of the Church is not embarrassed silence. It is to remove that cleric, and return to the apostolic proclamation:
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8.
Christ does not require updating.
The Gospel does not require ideological reconstruction.
And the risen Lord does not require us to manufacture an identity for Him that neither Scripture, the Apostles, the Creeds nor the historic Church ever knew.
Preach Christ as He has been revealed.
Anything else may be fashionable ideology…
But it is not, and never will be, the apostolic faith!
Looks like Labour has decided to exclude Qs from the 'community'. How very uninclusive 🙄

EXCL- The pro-trans protests that threatens to overshadow Burnham’s first Labour conference REVEALED…
A protest outside the Women’s Conference on Saturday will be joined my Labour politicians and trade unionists from across the UK.
The demo - against the ban on trans delegates - has been backed by the powerful trade unions council body in Liverpool.
Leaflets picturing Burnham - seen by Metro - and criticising Labour will be distributed to attendees.
Metro can also confirm that the Communication Workers Union is the fifth union to boycott the conference over the trans ban, following Unison, Aslef, Usdaw and Musicians Union.

I’ve now learned that members of Tribunal Tweets have also not been sent links to remotely observe the Peggie v RCN, in contravention of a case management decision made by the judge in this case. I’ve written to the President of the Scottish Employment Tribunals to complain.

@LibDems Trans 'rights'?
Are you sure?
Are you really, really sure?

A transgender pedophile was able to join a women's @USAFL1997 club due to the league's "inclusive" policies, even winning a top club award.
"Lily" Hamilton, who was convicted of raping two children, is listed as a "female" in the sex offender registry.

Zoe Hollowood is incredibly brave to challenge her party in this way. I know what it’s like to state biological sex is real and be attacked for speaking common sense and telling the truth. She is not on my side of the political spectrum, but courage calls to courage everywhere.
Zoe should be supported in trying to get the Lib Dems to stop being silly, follow the law and respect the supreme court judgement.
Yesterday our chair @hollowood_zoe asked @LibDems conference in a trans debate:
"In 2026, are women allowed rights?
Rights to dignity.
Rights to safety.
Rights to say no."
Conference resoundingly voted 'no' thus deciding that women were second class citizens. 🧵

In a free country, you are entitled to believe you are a woman with a penis. But not to take it into a female changing room, nor to cheat your way into a female athletic competition, nor in any way to impose your private delusion on the rest of us.
